Brambles verses barbs
Whether fenced in or out
The vine prevails
Haiku

Squirrel scampering
Hiding acorns ‘neath
The slumbering vine
Truckload of treasures
Delivers in Winter
Syllabic Verse
🍁The pesky squirrel is back and digging in my plants burying his treasures. He’s cute but I don’t like the fact that he digs in my plants to store his food for winter. 🍂😩

Broken
But not destroyed
For a new life emerges
A butterfly hidden within
Revealed
Cinquain
On my walk today
I met very strange chap
Full of energy
Haiku

Frosty Autumn morn
Melts into an evening sky
Streaked by the sun
Haiku

Aged by life’s storms,
Yet displaying beauty,
No matter the season
May I weather like thee
Syllabic Verse

Procrastination
Playing games with time
Putting dreams on hold
Complacent to rest
Up against a fence
Syllabic Verse

Abundance of life
Found in the ordinary things
The colors of Fall
Haiku

Fall fades into
Winter white rest, Spring is
Life’s game changer
Haiku

My mind wasn’t focused on You
Like a leaf in the wind
It swirled and twirled
And got carried away
To wander in places of doubt
Coming to rest on the fence of indecision
Caught in the fear of unknown
Where it began to wither away
Without purpose
Until the force of Your divine breath
Caused it to stir, awaken, and break free
To soar to higher places
And sit in the heavenlies
At Your feet
Soaking in the truth of Your word
Now it’s a mind renewed
To do good works
And walk in Your Spirit on earth
It no longer wanders aimlessly
Blown by winds of uncertainty
For it awaits resurrection
Where it will live forever
On the tree of life.
