April Fool

Posted on April 1, 2018 by Leonas Lines

Jester’s Hat

I keep no secrets

My life is an open book

Nothing you’ll uncover

Not a thing you will discover

In cranny and nook

There’s not a hidden thing

That a “ah ha” will bring

Very transparent am I

And I never ever lie

Buying Time

Posted on March 28, 2018March 29, 2018 by Leonas Lines

Old man, old ship, sunset

Sittin by the sea

While another sun goes down

Wish I could buy time

Use It or Lose It

Posted on March 24, 2018 by Leonas Lines

Today, sign held in hand

I hold

Today in my hand

What shall I do with it?

Use it for good before its gone?

It’s my choice

I can choose to just waste it

And throw it all away

Or expend it

For good

Writer’s Question

Posted on March 22, 2018 by Leonas Lines

Pencil, notepad, crumpled paper

What should I write about?

Something I seek or see?

Something that deserves a shout?

What should I write about?

Things that I believe or doubt?

Something I hope or dream will be?

What should I write about?

Something I seek or see?

Poetic Paradise

Posted on March 21, 2018 by Leonas Lines

Poetic Paradise, sleeping, dreaming

Did

You ever

Wonder how

Poets find sleep?

Or what they might think

In those dark night watches?

As they contemplate slumber?

Are their mind’s in calm repose?

How do they enter into somnolence?

Poets count syllables instead of sheep!

Armored and Able

Posted on March 20, 2018 by Leonas Lines

Lion sleeping

Believer be aware

Always put on your armor

Wear it daily

The lion sleeps

But he will arise again

So be on guard

Your great adversary

Is as a roaring lion

Wanting to devour

The lion slumbers

But he will again awake

So be wise

Be spirtually ready

Don’t be caught off guard

Always be vigilant

For the devil

Is as a prowling lion

Seeking to devour

Stand against him

Wearing the Armor of God

He will flee.

Word Lunes

(Based on 1 Peter 5:8-9 and Ephesians 6:10-18)

Golden Rule

Posted on March 19, 2018 by Leonas Lines

Golden Scales of Justice

Do unto others

As you’d wish them

To do unto you in all things

Practice everyday and you’ll be

A winner

Regeneration

Posted on March 16, 2018March 23, 2018 by Leonas Lines

Dandelion blowing in the wind

Day by day the same

Routine is like clockwork

Until suddenly came

A fresh wind blowing blessings

Ordinary was no more

Expressions

Posted on March 15, 2018 by Leonas Lines

Ocean, sand, heart

The words

You speak

Charm me

But then

Your loud

Actions

Erase

Them all

Syllabic Verse

“Actions speak louder than words” —Author Unknown

Sources say that this expression dates back as far as 1628. It was first used in its current form in the USA by Abraham Lincoln in 1856.

Daydreaming

Posted on March 10, 2018 by Leonas Lines

Bench near the woods and among fall Leaves

The leaves susurrate beneath my feet

As I pause to cogitate

My mind says I should be festinating

I suspire

And continue to ruminate

A reverie in the wood
