Remembering winter
Keeps me cool, as the
Summer sun beats down
Syllabic Verse
These last few days have really been hot here in my area, 100 degree days. It’s pretty hot but I am not complaining because I remember how long it took for our weather to warm up and how many chilly days we had to endure waiting for this summer weather.
So I am just doing my best to stay fairly cool and enjoy it while it lasts because summer will be gone before long!
Be a flashlight
Shine a light
On darkness
Reveal things
To help guide
Those lost
Be a flashlight
Be ready
Offer help
When needed
Syllabic Verse
This poem was inspired by an incident I had the other day as I was creating art.
I needed to see deep down into a vase I was using, and since my iPhone was in my pocket I remembered it had a built in flashlight option which I could easily flip on to shine light down into the vase and reveal what, if anything, might be inside.
This experience reminded me that I should always be ready to be a light bearer whenever and wherever needed.
Sometimes wonder
Where I do reside.
Living life daily
In different worlds,
Virtual and real.
Social Media,
News, Televison,
Websites,and books.
Asleep and awake,
I am a sojourner.
Syllabic Verse
While the world is falling apart
My neighbors and I are building
Relationships, gardens, and ideas
In our little corner of the world
We are making the most of each day
That we have to build friendships and
Create beauty while we can
No not burying our heads in the sand
But focusing on the positive
And ignoring negativity
We live sensibly in unity
Praying, trusting in theLord and doing good
Syllabic Verse
Whispy white streamers
Floating like feathers
Fair weather morning
Syllabic Verse
A color named “All”
Is my favorite choice
It has every hue
And shade that exists
“All” is my fav color

Masks try to
Hide smiles
Yet our eyes
Overcome
Every
Place I go
I see masks
Cover up
People’s mouths
But not their
Smiling eyes
Syllabic Verse
Smiling with your eyes, also called the “Duchenne smile” or “smizing,” makes you look like you’re genuinely happy. Smiling with your eyes is hard to fake, and it helps to channel good thoughts so you’ll seem more sincere. Once you get really good at it, you can even smile using only your eyes!
Happening upon
A said symbol of
Royalty and wisdom
Basking in the sun
I captured the
Fortuitous encounter
Syllabic Verse
“You Matter”
Two words
Spoken
At the
Right time
Often
Impact
A mind
For good
Bring change
Plant hope
Give peace
Words have
Such power!
Syllabic Verse
Refresh yourselves
Come all you who thirst
All are welcome
Refresh yourselves
With the living water
Only He provides
Syllabic Verse
“…Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”
John 7:37-38 KJV
