Small but great treasure
Tiny green fold up scissors
They’re never dull
Senryu
#NaPoWriMo 2019–Day12–Prompt: Today, we’d like to challenge you to write a poem about a dull thing that you own, and why (and how) you love it.
I have had this little pair of green fold up scissors for many, many years. I have always carried them with me either in my purse or in my car. There have been countless times they’ve come in so handy!
We count our life in years,
But what about the days?
All the seconds of life?
Cherish all the minutes.
It’s in those moments,
Memories are made,
Chances are taken,
Changes often happen.
Treasure every breath.
Celebrate each day.
Give thanks for your life.
Syllabic Verse
My grand-daughter messaged me today to tell me I have lived 27,365 days so far! Where did all those days go?
It seems a lot longer when you view your life as days rather than years!
It’s pretty amazing to think about, and so inspired the thoughts for this poem.
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
Did you ever stop to think
Your life is but a blink
Its here and then it’s gone
Like the morning dawn
So be it as it may
Treasure life today
Before it slips away
Rhyme
Sitting in my chair
Remembering times spent
With you over the years
The good times and sad times
I count as blessings
As each time was as glue
Molding us together
Creating special memories
For us to hold and treasure.
Choka
For those who are willing to seek
Treasure can daily be found
The Scriptures are an oyster
Holding pearls of wisdom
Pick up your bible
And open the pages
Within them
You’ll find
Pearls
Nonet
Covered in snow
The mountain
Majestic it stands
Syllable Lune
