Blinding white
Like Lightening
Glistening
Reflection
His transfigured presence
Shone white as snow

#MayFalls19 Poetry Challenge Prompt: blinding white
In the spring of 1910 a new life was
Born in Sisseton South Dakota,
Just in time to be counted in
The Census taken April fifteen.
Roberts County gains another boy
And I, yet unknown, a future father.
A good man who would love nature,
Poetry, and baseball, a man
I would meet on a summer day in June
1944, when he came home from the war
To spend his time teaching a girl
How to hit home runs, name trees
By their leaves, track animals in
The woods, but not how to forget him.
Sonnet (Un-Rhymed)
In memory of my Dad, Erling Claremont Cliff, (4-4-10—1-1-85)
#NaPoWriMo 2019 Day 4 Prompt: sad, Sonnet
Is that really me or an imposter,
A pretender that looks like me?
That kind of action I don’t foster!
Is that really me or an imposter?
I dont see my name on the roster,
But a resemblance I do see!
Is that really me or an imposter,
A pretender that looks like me?
Triolet
While waiting for my grandson today I caught an amusing site on video. My daughter’s porch has a mirrored medicine cabinet sitting on it waiting to be carried into the house that apparently caught the eye of a little bird.
I sat watching as the little bird saw his reflection in the mirror and kept trying to figure out who that other bird was. It was very cute to watch.
Kindness, a treasure
That’s outwardly visable,
Comes from within
Senryu
Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness. Know how to give without hesitation, how to lose without regret, how to acquire without meanness. —George Sand
Reflecting my mood
Mountains cast shadows of blue
Walking life’s trail
Haiku
Arcing across the bright sky
Rising from storm’s shade
Haiku
Place time long forgot
Memories of home
