Lights
Twinkling
Reflecting
Everywhere
Smiles are shared
With strangers on the street
Stores are filled with
Shoppers looking for once a year treats
To share with others generously
There’s just something about Christmas

Fall Fruition
November winds blow
And leaves huddle together
Raindrops falling fast
Haiku
Revived
I sat with Despair
She held my hand and led me
Into sinking sand
Where I met disappointment
Doubt and disbelief
I watched my dreams fading
Near Disappearing
And then I felt a presence
A Hand lifting and leading
Me out to a better place
A land of hope and purpose
Where the Light shines
Upon dreams making them new
A firm foundation
Where no Disses can dwell
An encouraging
Place full of life where
I’m building a good future
Double Choka
Uplifting Ambling
Mundane walking
Upon blacktop worn
I saw you shining
Bright like the sun
Right beneath my feet
Oil and water mixed
My colorless path
Transformed into
A sunny rainbow
Syllabic Verse
Manifold
Many kinds; numerous and varied:
Are God’s Grace and Wisdom shown
To beings in the heavenlies
And to those in the world
By us the church on earth
If we minister
To one another
With our
Gifts
Nonet
As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
1 Peter 4:10
To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, Ephesians 3:10
(The photo is of one of my Tambourines that I use in praise and worship. I name all my Tambourines as I feel each instrument has a different purpose. This Tamborine I named “Manifold” because it reflects light in so many ways. I use it in worship to praise God for His Manifold Grace And Wisdom according to the scriptures 1 Peter 4:10 and Ephesians 3:10 )
Thankful
Thankful for full plates now empty
Thankful for hands that cook and bake
Thankful for another day
Thankful for hearts that care
Thankful for thirst now quenched
Thankful for warm places
Thankful for
My life
Thankful

Mom Thoughts
How fast the toilet paper goes
And the shampoo too
Food in the fridge
vanishes
Yet laundry and trash pile up
The house is filled with people
Chattering, moving,
Echoing life
To rooms once empty and silent
Peace is now hard to find
Among so many different
Personalities
Cupboards are looking bare
As is my bank balance
But my heart is happy
The kids are home again
Free Verse
(Inspired by my daughter whose four grown children are all living at home with her and my son-in-law again for awhile)
Fruitfulness
Brambles verses barbs
Whether fenced in or out
The vine prevails
Haiku
Homeless in the City
A million people
A million voices
None speak my name
Two million feet tred
Where I sit
None stop near me
Millions of bright lights
Shining round
I sit in the dark
Syllable Lunes
Squirrel’s Storehouse
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. 🍂😩
