Thoughts of cherry trees on
Gloomy winter afternoon
Paintbrush reads my mind

January
The sun sleeps.
Rain drizzles upon
Decaying leaves.
Misty morn.
In the bleakness, a patch of red.
Camellia blooms.
Shadorma
My Camellia plant offers a bright spot of color on this dreary January day.
I’m Just Ducky
As rude comments
Try to dampen your spirit
Pelting down as rain
Let them silently roll off
Be puddles under your feet

Touch of Spring
The sun peeked out
Winter held its icy breath
Spring kissed my cheek
Haiku
As I enjoyed an unseasonably warm day of nearly 60 degrees today, my thoughts were on Spring.
Old Sayings
Tis said
“You’re known by
The company you keep,” or
“Birds of a feather flock together”
Tis true?

Lifelines Needed
In this ol’
Life at times
We find we’re
Just able
To stay afloat
And tread water
Not moving
Not going
Just keeping
Our heads up
Until someone
Helps us out
By throwing
Us out a
Lifeline
Syllablic Verse
Be that someone-throw out a lifeline to somebody in need.
Fly Away from Fear
Fly above the waters of doubt
Don’t let them drown and destroy your dreams
Don’t let your fears hold you down
Soar to the brights skies beyond
Keep looking ahead
Gather your strength
Never give
Fear a
Chance
Nonet
Again and Again
Praise the Lord’s name
At sunrise
And when the sun sets
Syllable Lune
Based on Psalm 113:3
Daydreaming on a Dreary Winter Day
Dreaming
Of warm soft breezes
Where colorful flowers
Dance to the sound of birdsong
Springtime

FLOWERS
Flowers erase frowns and
Lift spirits.
On days when the
World seems colorless and
Everything is dreary, flowers
Remind us to
Stop, smile, and seek beauty everywhere
