Sun shines so brightly
Upon dew soaked flora
Tis the last day of Summer
Arise! Wake from slumber
Treasure every moment!

From the Inside Out
My inside voice
Got out, and it said:
Amazing
Words of truth
That the world, and you, needed
To hear at that time

If Monday Was A Person
If Monday was a person
No one would want them around
Monday would get little done
If Monday was a person
They would be liked by no one
Their name would be a bad sound
If Monday was a person
No one would want them around

#HaikuHorizonsWeeklyChallenge Week#135 Prompt: Frog
(When I wrote this poem I was thinking of my childhood days long ago when we children used to play Leapfrog, not the electronic game they have now, it was a fun physical activity, we played outdoors at recess. (Leapfrog is a game in which players take turns in leaping over other players that are bent over from the waist. –Dictionary.com)
I wasn’t quite sure if children still played Leapfrog now so I looked it up on the Internet and found some videos on You Tube that I thought were worth sharing. Looks like Leapfrogging is still alive and well! 😊)

A slacker?
Or just “too many irons in the fire”?
A shirker?
Or just “too many rivers too cross”?
A loafer?
Or just “too many mountains to climb”?
Don’t judge,
Until you have “walked in my shoes”

Wish Catcher
She jumped so high!
Dandelion seed floating by.
“Just caught a wish!” she said
I was out shopping yesterday and as I was walking thru the parking lot to my car I saw a young lady suddenly make a giant leap into the air!
“I got it!” she exclaimed to her friends with her.
I guess they all noticed my wondering, questioning look as I passed by them because the young lady said ” I just caught a wish!”
She opened her hand to show a dandelion seed.
“It’s magical” said her friend.
This moment made me smile as I remembered my childhood days of making wishes and blowing dandelion puffs.
Magical garden
A field of Dandelion puffs
A childhood delight
