Morris the Queen
Sits upon our hearts
None other can take her place
Morris the Queen
Senryu
(Tribute to Morris, my grandson’s cat, who is about 12 years old now. He got her as a baby kitten and though she was female he. Ames her Morris because she looks just like the famous Morris on Nine Lives. She has truly been a wonderful family cat.)
“Hard Row to Hoe”
In a hard place.
Life is full of rocks.
Trying to dig.
Determined.
Seek to make a difference.
A “Hard Row to Hoe”.
Not giving
This “Hard Row to Hoe”
Victory.
I will win!
I will not ever give up!
I will overcome!

That first look
Into eyes of blue
Quizzical

Rescued from a bad dream by
The awakening kiss

(This poem was written in response to a suggestion made by our poetry class instructor. She said to imagine what Snow White felt like when she first opened her eyes after the Prince kissed her. So…I imagined…and this Shadorma was the result.😊)

“Death and life are in
The power of the tongue”
Consider this daily
Before you unlease words.
Of which do you choose to speak?

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Proverbs 18:21

Dying leaf leaves dye
Haiku
Today while I was out walking, I happened to notice some leaf imprints on a large area of the concrete sidewalk here where I live. I had never seen this before so of course I took a picture and then researched it online to see the cause. I found that when leaves fall onto concrete and lay there decaying they excrete a dye called tannin that stains the concrete and so leaves their image when they are removed. The dye stains can be removed by detergent and scrubbing. I found this to be quite interesting!
