Vinca bloom
A morning delight
Overnight
While I slept
Beautiful posy in sight
Ahead of Springtime

Memo: From Me
Dear Gray Squirrel,
Tell me, what are you looking for!
The bird food you do deplete,
Yet you keep passing by my door,
Is your search never complete?
Your manners I do deplore!
Always looking for a tasty treat!
You’ve had that, yet look for more!
Your greed knows no defeat!
Rhyme
This poem was inspired by the gray squirrel that lives in a tree in my backyard who seems to never get full nor tired. He is always eating or searching. He is cute but can really be a pest at times! 😊

The Sprouts of Spring, what joy they bring!

Joyful
The Angel of Happiness came
Whirling and twirling, and she
Sent fear and sorrow to hide.
Singing with heart full of joy,
Praising the Lord God above,
Dancing with arms open wide,
She showed me how to live,
In peace and sweet harmony,
At morning and eventide.

Is a dove above?

The Art Studio
Word Lune
This year I took up learning to draw and started with a draw-a-day challenge on Instagram. I really enjoyed it and learned a lot and was getting better day by day(I thought) but I wanted a dedicated space to draw and paint where I could leave my supplies out and handy. ( I had been using my dining room table and shuffling supplies back and forth which was inconvenient. So, I was able to turn a spare bedroom into my Art Studio and I was so happy and excited! But since that time life happenings have somehow kept me away from having time to draw, hence the poem…. I do hope to get back at it soon though 😊
A Winter’s Delight
Cabbages and Kale
Wear Ruffles and Pearls
In the land of kings
They dance til dawn
While sparrows watch
And nightingale sings
Their splendor soon fades
As warm breezes kiss
And sunshine brings
The end of Winter’s ball
And thus herald in
Sights which are Spring’s

Squirrel Saga Continues
Mr. Gray Squirrel is back today
Eating from the feeder like it’s okay
“You’re a funny looking bird” I say
My comment causes him no dismay
“Mighty fine sunflower seeds” says he
“Quite worth my trip down the tree”
“Ah yes, but not meant for you” says me
With a smile and nod, away he does flee

To Be Continued….I imagine
