Learning from the Past,
Planning for the Future,
While the present I hold fast.
Learning from the Past,
Tis no easy task,
But I’m determined to endure.
Learning from the Past,
Planning for the Future.

Special Song
A sweet melody
In the quiet of the night
His song comes to me
His song comes to me
And night and day I shall sing of
His lovingkindness
His lovingkindness
That He commands in daytime
Is my sweet heartsong
Senryu Cascade
The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me—Psalm 42:8 NKJV
Twilight Hue
Softly night creeps in
Tiptoes on the horizon
Violet hued sky
As the blue sky gives way
To the sun’s red glowing embrace
Tanka
In Unity
Together we stand
We can share on common ground
Though we are different

Down Home
Kentucky Blue Grass
Under my feet and in my heart
‘N’ my Banjo on my knee

Life’s Story
In the School of Life
Write your story with good words
No eraser needed

Positivity
Winds of change blow
Trying to chase blues away
Clouds flood the blue sky
Changing it to white and bright
Often change is good
Things take on a better hue
So if life looks blue
Rise up, try to make a change
Color your world, make it new

Winter Sunshine
Bright light
Shines thru trees
Chasing grayness away
Sun competes as tree shadows
Soon fade
Snow melts
Sunshine heat
Restores green carpet
Birds fly in, noisely inspect the scene,
With glee
Double Cinquain
Winter Peace
Quiet
Hushed, Stillness
Settles over the land
Winter covers us eith her white
Blanket

Winter in Oregon
Its snowing again
Winter’s presence now known
All the ground is white
Winter makes news again
Record snow levels
Are set across our state
Cold temperatures
Turn Oregon rains icy
We try to stay warm inside
