Chasing thoughts
That swirl like clouds
High, lofty
Low, gloomy
Casting them down in Christ and
Captivating them
Shadorma
casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 2 Corinthians 10:5
Pale Pink ruffles
Enhance the crown of white
Peace rose in bloom
Haiku
Abundant
Blessings in the Lord
Plethora
Opulence
Of grace, love, mercy,
Faith and hope in Christ
Shadorma
And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 1:14
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 1 Peter 1:3
In everything you do
Notice the little things
Smile at the world around you
Purposely speak positive
Inquire how others are
Recycle and share good deeds
Envelope yourself in life
Acrostic, Syllabic Verse
Filing memories
Into the memory bank
June slowly fades
Haiku
Covered in roses
Their fragrance trailing her
June passed by
Bidding us fond farewell
Soon she’ll be a fond memory
Tanka
At the close of day
In soft evening sunlight
Garden’s rosy glow
Haiku
Amazed
At all the wonder
In the world around me
I took time to look for it
And saw
Cinquain
Worries appear like
Cloud, upon cloud, upon cloud
Threatening your day
Shift the view by looking up
Focus on blue sky above
Tanka
As the clouds move on and pass away, so will your troubles. Therefore, do not worry, but shift your focus to look to God above who is in control of all things.
(While out shopping today I happened to look up at the sky, as I often do because I always enjoy seeing the many different beautiful clouds Oregon has,and seeing this scalloped cloud formation today intrigued me.
As I gazed at it this poem formed in my mind that I felt I should share as it’s always a good reminder to me, as well as others, that we should not worry. )
Roses are abloom
Among fast growing green grass
Baby birds in flight
Sunshine visits us daily
Summer finally arrived!
Tanka
(Celebrating the First Day of Summer!)
