All Hail! The trumpeters,
Stars of gold announcing Spring,
Appear once again

Adversary Aggression
He attacks with vengence!
What is it the enemy fears?
Observe his means.
What is the main strategy
That he uses to frighten you?
Tanka
You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you. —Eric Hoffer
Unclad
We smiled, chittering and chattering
As daylight filled with bright sunshine
Spilled upon us walking sprightly.
In the distance a lion roared
But the sound did not reach
Our quiescent ears
Dulled by sleep.
Our guard down,
The lion
Strikes!
Caught
Off guard
We scramble
To stand and fight
The enemy attack.
Unprepared for battle,
Head and heart vulnerable
To fleshly fear and worldly anger,
We attempt to vanquish our beastly foe
Unprotected. We cry out for God to help us!

Daring Daffodils
Heads held high
Facing the elements
The trumpeters
Narcissists
Endure cold, snow, wind, rain
Marching into Spring

Lifeless
Living in the past
No vision, no happiness
No dreams and no hope

A Tribute to Billy Graham
After a long time
As a good and faithful servant
His Lord said “Well done”
Senryu
Written I honor of Billy Graham’s entrance into the joy of his Lord today at the age of 99.
His lord said unto him,
Well done, good and faithful servant;
thou hast been faithful over a few things,
I will make thee ruler over many things:
enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Matthew 25:21
Ring Around The Rosy
A gardener named Rosy
Often dreamed to mosey
Down an isle strewn in petals
But she wasn’t a gal who settles
For just one posy
Limerick
( Smile! 😊Just a bit of humor for today! )
Winter Surprise
Spring hopes vanish
Morning snowflakes falling
Daffodils snow dance

Haiku Horizons Weekly Challenge Week#208 Prompt: Vanish
Our Pacific Northwest has been enjoying an unseasonably mild February this year causing flowers to bloom early and folks to feel as though Spring has come. However this morning Winter decided to let us all know that it was still hanging around by sending us a flurry of big heavy wet snowflakes. causing our lovely early bloomers to get covered in white. Thankfully the snow didn’t last long and the sun came out to melt it all away.
U-Turn
When I read your word
I thought, and I turned my feet.
I made haste
To try to obey your commandments,
And walk in your ways each day.
Tanka
“I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.”
Psalms 119:59-60 KJV
Fervency
Live your dreams
Whatever they may be
Go forward
Believing
In yourself and in your goals
And never give up
