God is:
Promising a good future. It’s
Obtainable and
Securable, if you are
Susceptible and ready to be
Imaginable! Will it be a
Breeze? No, more
Likely it will take hard work. It won’t be
Easy, but it is possible to achieve.
ACROSTIC
Think positive!
With God all things are Possible! (Matthew 19:26)
Madame de Pompadour
Her hair couldnt fit thru the door
So she sat outside instead
Til birds nested in her head
And caused a great uproar
Limerick
Day by day the same
Routine is like clockwork
Until suddenly came
A fresh wind blowing blessings
Ordinary was no more
Tanka
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.
Think before you speak
Realize the value of voice
Your words have worth
They can wound and break a heart
Or uplift and heal instead.
Tanka
Happy Face Hill
Traveler’s delight to see
Nature smiling
Haiku
I actually happened to see this while
my daughter and I were driving back from the Oregon Coast!
Near Willamina, OR. I spotted what looked to be a big happy face high on the hill to my right.
“Is that a Happy Face up there on that hill?” I asked my daughter who replied “It sure looks like it!”
After stopping to take a picture she did an internet search and found an amazing story regarding the Big Smiley which you can read by clicking this link:
Curious encounter
Of yellow bursts of color
Blooming near the creek
Haiku
I recently came upon these big yellow blooms as I was walking near a small creek. They were just scattered about on the creek’s bank. I am not sure what they are, probably some kind of a lily. They sure brightened up my morning walk!
(If any of you know what they are please let me know in the comment section. Thanks)
An hour flew away
Walking with time last night.
As we sprung forward,
Sixty minutes vanished,
Erased by daylight’s hand.
Tanka
(Daylight Savings Time begins today)
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
