Walking though the leaves
On this gorgeous day of Fall
I pause and give thanks
For the trees and their beauty
For my eyes that I can see

Tanka poems
The Sounds of Fall
Ah, the sounds of Fall.
Birds gathering to fly south,
Chatter as they flock,
And the trees rustle their leaves,
In tune with the wind’s music.

Family Time
Dinner with grandsons
Serving love, hope, dreams, laughter
Sharing more than food
All of us leave satisfied
Quality family time

Love Tokens
Tiny notes of love
On little scraps of paper
A child’s creation
Spontaneously delivered
Warmly welcomed by my heart

Writers Block
I’ve no words within.
No thoughts and nothing to say.
My mind is quite blank.
I just sit and stare and wait,
For inspiration doesn’t come.

Sensing the Season
Beautiful fall day
Artistically painted trees
In various hues
Beckon me to pause awhile
And my five senses rejoice

Out of the Cold
Dark chilly Fall night
Time to light the fireplace
Warmth enters the room
I give thanks that I am home
I pray for those who aren’t

Provision
I wonder and worry,
But God speaks in many ways.
He often whispers when
I find a penny or dime:
“I will provide for your needs”

Based on Philippians 4:19 scripture
Strange Day
Friday the Thirteen.
Am not superstitious,
But this day seems odd.
Meeting many rude people.
Is it just a coincidence?

Fine Art
Big white fluffy clouds,
On a canvas of blue sky.
The Master Artist paints
Such a picture perfect day,
For those who choose to look up.
