Whispy white streamers
Floating like feathers
Fair weather morning

Finally…:)
Happiness realized
In my little world today
Promises fulfilled
Day’s filled will sunny smiles
Summer finally woke up!
Tanka
Summer is finally here and I am doing my happy dance! Temps in 75 to 80’s today and all next week! Yay!!
Summer’s New Normal??
Summer’s been sleeping,
Wasting her alotted days
Procrastinating.
Weather man keeps promising
Tomorrow for sure
We’ll see her warm sunny smile,
Yet so far it seems
She keeps on hibernating.
Will tomorrow ever come?
Choka
Sheltered
Living
In the shadow
Of good things yet to come
Sheltered by His shade on my
Right hand
Cinquain
The Lord is your keeper;
The Lord is your shade on your right hand.
Psalm 121:5
By the Wayside
Bringing some joy
To those who have none
In an obscure place
Haiku
Many of us are in an obscure place right now. Walking unfamiliar paths, trying hard to find hope in the midst of all the new normal, yet, if we look, many times we will see little splashes of joy scattered along our path, tiny seeds planted to encourage us as we navigate through these challenging times.
Take some time to look for them today, usually they are found in unexpected places and just at the time they’re needed the most.
Anticipating
Waiting,
For summertime.
Looking for the sunshine
To chase away the dull gray days
Of life.
Cinquain
July 5th and it’s still cloudy, gloomy, chilly weather outside. We are ready for some warm, sunny days, but still waiting for summer weather to arrive. Hope it does soon.
Comfort and Joy
A bit of comfort
Springing up in time of need
Tiny flower of hope
Haiku
Hope springs eternal in the human breast;
Man never Is, but always To be blest.
The soul, uneasy, and confin’d from home,
Rests and expatiates in a life to come.
—Alexander Pope, “An Essay on Man”
Today as I went out to visit my “Inspiration Rock Corner” to place a few new rocks I had painted, I happened to notice a tiny yellow flower blooming right next to the HOPE brick I had painted.
It seemed to match the little yellow flowers I had painted on the brick and I thought it not to be a co-incidence that the tiny flower had chosen that exact spot of all others in the yard to appear in bloom.
“Plant seeds of hope in your heart. Give them plenty of love and attention. Then watch as your beautiful dreams bloom” – Amy Atherton …
Missing Summer
News dampens spirits,
Is the weather mimicking?
Summer has vanished
Haiku
It’s July 2nd and in my area of the Pacific Northwest we are experiencing what I feel is a late start to good ol’ summertime.
The weather has been very changeable, quite like the daily news reports.
We’ve had a few warm days but not many and it seems more like Spring to me instead of Summer, as each day I awaken to gloomy cloudy skies, chilly temps and occasional rain sprinkling, this can put a damper on one’s spirit quite like the morning news reports often do lately.
Sigh. Oh where, oh where has my beloved Summer gone? Has she vanished with all our other normalcy?
I hope not. I hope she returns soon. I miss her sunny smile and gentle hugs of warmth.
How’s the weather where you reside? Are you experiencing the same, or does Summer alive and active in your area?
I Can and Can’t
As I walk through this life
I can change many things
But I can’t change you
I can change my habits
But I can’t change yours
I can control my actions
But can’t control yours
I can do so many things
But only God can change you
Choka
With a Happy Heart
I am
Picking daisies
And chasing butterflies
Doing little things that keep my ol’ heart
Happy
Cinquain
