Are you
Fashioning some
Ordinary moments
Into remarkable junctures
Today?

With a Happy Heart
I am
Picking daisies
And chasing butterflies
Doing little things that keep my ol’ heart
Happy
Cinquain
Friends-You and Me
You go to bed before the sun sets
I am a night owl, burning the midnight oil
Yet we are friends
You like hazelnuts, spice cake, and tea
I like licorice, mint and coffee
Yet we are friends
You like cool nights and enjoy the rain
I like it warm and enjoy hot summer days
Yet we are friends
You like flip flops and air conditioning
I like sneakers and natural air
Yet we are still friends
Your skin is a different color from mine
My skin is a different color from yours
Yet we are friends
We are all different
We are all unique
That’s what makes us each special
We all have likes and dis-likes
Our skin maybe a different color
But we can still all be friends
We can agree to disagree
Walk in friendship and love
And enjoy a life of harmony
Sharing with each other
Every nation, tribe, language and people.
For we are all God’s Masterpiece according to Ephesians 2:10
Free Verse
Turn It Around
Turn mistakes into happiness
Let your creativity flow free
Let those mishaps bring joy
Turn errs into success
Then you’ll be happy
With life’s work
When all is
Said and
Done

What I love about watercolor is that a lot of happy accidents occur.

In Perigee
May’s big “Flower Moon”
Blooming in the eastern sky
Year’s last Supermoon
Haiku
“A super moon is the result of the full moon coinciding with the moon’s closest point of orbit in relation to the Earth, which is known as perigee. The result is that the moon is not only full, but looks closer to us and brighter than usual. On average, a super moon is seven percent bigger and 15 percent brighter than a full moon.
The May Super Flower Moon is the last super moon this year.”

Mending the Broken Pieces
Discouraged, tearfully
I picked up the broken pieces.
Another trial.
Reaching for the Light of hope
To show me the way
I prayed for healing and strength
To mend broken wings
So I might fly, to try again
‘Til I reach heaven’s reward

“Our heart mends as our inner self—the central or innermost part of our identity—is wrapped around the Light inside of us, rather than around the people who have harmed us. This one small step changes the way we see things”. Suzanne Eller
Dealing With Downers
Don’t entertain those
Dogged disappointment days
Dismiss and disown
Them from depressing your life
Discuss your problems
Resolve to dissolve
Seek the positive
Discover ways to overcome
Don’t let despondency win
Choka
“There’s always failure. And there’s always disappointment. And there’s always loss. But the secret is learning from the loss, and realizing that none of those holes are vacuums.” —Michael J. Fox
Rooted in the Word
How long
The winds do blow
Upon my weary head!
I dig in my heels, standing firm
In Him.
Cinquain
As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,
rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
Colossians 2:6-7 NKJV
Gentle Guide
You didn’t make noise
As the fog horn does
You merely shined
To show me the way
Syllabic Verse
“Lighthouses blow no horns; they only shine” –Dwight L. Moody
Speak Seeds
Twas just a few words
They caused a mind to think
A seed was planted
Senryu
Words are also seeds, and when dropped into the invisible spiritual substance, they grow and bring forth after their kind. –Charles Fillmore
(So then, be sure the words you speak are good words)
