Living
Among shadows
Of the past’s occurances
Alone I face the future
Certain
That my life was not in vain
It was orchestrated
For a purpose
Fulfilled
Butterfly Cinquain
Based on Psalm 138:8 The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands. (ESV)
Opinions flying
Hit like glass shattering
Causing chaos and strife
Who’s right? Who’s wrong? We debate.
While disunity reigns
Tanka
Pennies from heaven?
It seems with each worry I find
A coin at my feet.
Haiku
Sure of your future?
At the time of detachment
Where will you land?
Senryu
Once again the leaves beneath my feet
Remind me of Summer’s recent passing
Some dressed in fall colors
Freshly fallen over night
Not yet devoid of life
Speak of coming days
Full of crisp air
Bringing change
To me and
Them
Reverse Etheree
Goodbye Summer.
So sad to see you go.
Enjoyed the
Warmth you gave.
I’ll miss your daily presence,
And sunshine and flowers.
Shadorma
Wide gate
Opens to pleasures,
Worldly fun,
Care-free,
Yet it ends in destruction,
And utter darkness.
Narrow gate
Is chosen by few
Difficult ,
Obstacles,
Yet leads to everlasting life.
Which gate to choose?
Double Shadorma
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:13-14
Flash Floods in the land
Fall has come to Oregon
The rains are back
Haiku
I think that i shall never see
Nor ever come to know
A time when I tire of poetry
And in it desire not to grow
Rhyme
Is your life full
Of good things sent from the Lord?
Abundantly blessed,
Crowned with tender mercies?
Have you been divinely
Healed, Forgiven, Redeemed?
May you never forget
To always praise the Lord daily
For everything He does for you
Choka
Based on Psalm 103:1-5
