Weaved with the color of joy
Stained with the color of pain
Threads that hope does employ
Weaved with the color of joy
Moments of small things that annoy
Seasons filled full with rain
Weaved with the color of joy
Stained with the color of pain
Moments time can’t destroy
Memories that always remain
A perfect pattern they deploy
Moments time can’t destroy
Our private life convoy
Showing exciting and mundane
Moments time can’t destroy
Memories that always remain
Double Triolet
Photographs capture
Daily experiences. Treasured
Little bits of life.
Like snowflakes falling,
Each moment is unique.
Tanka
Venturing
Out into the cold,
Adventure
Awaits as
Frozen twigs snap beneath my
Heavy booted feet.
In the night
A weak little lamb
Strayed away
From the flock
Searching for greener pastures
Led by the enemy
My heart aches
But not from the cold
Rod in hand
I walk in
My Father’s Authority
Clinging to His Word
Fear tries to
Silently creep in
Doubt tries to
Overwhelm
But my feet are as hinds feet
And my mind is sure
Determined
To save the lost
I move on
To overcome
My face set like flint
Lord God is my help
Wintery
Brisk air fills my lungs
As I cry out
At the sight
Rejoicefully I carry
My long lost sheep home!
Six Shadorma Story
Based on Luke 15: 4-7, Isaiah 50:7, Habakkuk 3:19
Commit thy way and works
Unto the Lord, trust Him always.
Walk the narrow path
Haiku
(Based on scriptures: Psalm 37:5, Proverbs 16:3, Matthew 7:14)
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Psalm 37:5
Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established Proverbs 16:3
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:14
Never before have I
Experienced this particular
Winter day!
Youthful feelings of
Excitement arise as I
Awaken to a new day in a new year!
Rejuvenated, I press forward to:
Grow more in knowledge of Him
Overcome all negativity
Allow time for reading and prayer
Love others as myself
Seek truth and share it daily
Acrostic
Another new day
A gift if time given
Tick Tock goes the clock
Haiku
#TickTockDay
Old Mr. Wunder
Really made a blunder
Made a bad day worse
When he threw his car in reverse
And knocked my plans asunder
Limerick
As I was waiting to leave a restaurant parking lot today another elderly customer was backing out from his parking spot and apparently didn’t see my bright red car right in front of him. He backed into the right rear side of my car and thankfully only caused minor damage to it, and no injuries to anyone except my car, however, the whole incident caused about an hour’s loss of time. At least he had insurance. Such is life sometimes…
On the Oregon Trail
Seeking freedom, land, and gold
Immigrants migrate

Weather frightful
Not a pretty sight
Snow falling
Unexpected
People trapped in traffic
And kids stuck at school
Shadorma
Winter has returned with a vengeance here in the Pacific Northwest. Very unusual weather for us in the Willamette Valley.
In a
Gingerbread House
My life is oh so sweet
On Candy Cane Lane, where
Gumdrops
Stuck in gooey icing so Royal,
And dancing Sugarplums
Everyday
Delight!
