Morning reveals an
Overnite visitor
Teardrops on petals
Haiku
Watching the rain fall
Remembering days of old
Reflections in rain
Reminders of times past
All runoff like raindrops
Tanka
Cabbages and Kale
Wear Ruffles and Pearls
In the land of kings
They dance til dawn
While sparrows watch
And nightingale sings
Their splendor soon fades
As warm breezes kiss
And sunshine brings
The end of Winter’s ball
And thus herald in
Sights which are Spring’s
Rhyme ( 5 syllable lines/abCabC
Silent Tree of Winter,
Branches now barren
Except for teardrops
As you await
The new buds of Spring,
Or strands of jewels
Left behind by rain?
Syllabic Verse
Delicate
Kale, content til
Freedom’s breeze
Carried you.
You danced among the trees.
Sky cried the day you fell

As I was hurrying through the dark parking lot to go into the grocery store, I pulled my coat tight around me as it was chilly and rainy. All of a sudden a bright warm feeling entered my heart. There in the midst of it all I heard the sweet voice of a little child singing. Seemingly unaware of the weather, she waited patiently for her mom to load groceries into the car, as she sang a little melody all her own. 🙂 I had to smile. A good reminder to be joyful in all circumstances! 🙂
