A small tear
Rolled down her cheek
None noticed
Except One
His big hand touched her cheek
Bringing tears of Joy

We challenge you today to write a poem in which something big and something small come together

We challenge you today to write a poem in which something big and something small come together

Heads held high
Facing the elements
The trumpeters
Narcissists
Endure cold, snow, wind, rain
Marching into Spring
Shadorma

Live your dreams
Whatever they may be
Go forward
Believing
In yourself and in your goals
And never give up
Shadorma

Vinca bloom
A morning delight
Overnight
While I slept
Beautiful posy in sight
Ahead of Springtime
Shadorma

The old has gone,
And the new has come.
Embrace it!
Receive it!
In gladness the past go, grasp
The future and run!
Shadorma

He visits
With feathered flock
They canvass
‘Neath the trees
Like well trained soldiers
On an important mission

Birds in winter
Hopping all about
Scratching ground
Searching for
Nourishment under the snow
Birdseed is welcomed
Shadorma
I love to watch the birds in my backyard. All Spring and Summer I enjoyed watching a family of Doves, some Cedar Waxwings, Blackbirds,Sparrows and occasionally was fortunate enough to catch sight of a Hummingbird, but now that it’s Winter I don’t see many of my feathered friends, it’s usually just a squirrel or two that is scurrying around. But today, I happened to see quite a gathering of Chickadees hopping about looking for food. They are such cute little birds! Their presence, and also the BlueJay that joined them, was a treat to see, and also a reminder to make sure to keep the birdseed available to them this winter. I figure that’s the least I can do since it’s a such a joy to see them visiting.

For the birds,
Red Holly berries,
So Festive!
Beautiful
Among the shiny green leaves,
Can harm people and pets

Delicate
Kale, content til
Freedom’s breeze
Carried you.
You danced among the trees.
Sky cried the day you fell

Yesterday
On a busy street
Set in stone
I saw You
A reminder for all time
That You’re with me
Shadorma
Yesterday as I was walking down a busy city street I looked down and saw the name Jesus had been written in one of the concrete blocks that made up the city sidewalk. That inspired me to stop and give thanks that He is with me wherever I go and that He can also be found anywhere, by anyone, at anytime
