Nature’s paintbrush
Uses oil and water mix
Concrete canvas
Haiku
I captured this photo today as I was walking out of a store.
It was a very rainy day today but for just a short time the rain let up and the sun came out and that is the time I usually see oil slicks in parking lots.
Well this image stopped me in my tracks because it was not only a pretty oil slick but it was also reflecting a nearby tree in it which I thought made a beautiful scene.
Ordinary day
Turned wondrous
Woman at the well
Visited by Truth
Living Water spoke
Messiah revealed
Woman’s life was changed
Syllabic Verse
(Read the Story in John 4: 5-30)
Prayers out sent to cover
Those its fury hath touched
Prayers sent up to gather
And bring winds of change
Turning the path’s course
To remain at sea
Syllabic Verse
Prayers for those in the Bahamas who are facing the destruction of Dorian’s wrath at this time.
Praying it’s fury will be lessened and it’s path turned out to sea so it will not make landfall anywhere else.
Stand still and you will see
The salvation of the Lord
Don’t look back, look at Me
Stand still and you will see
Deliverence! Free you’ll be
From that chronic pursuing hoard
Stand still and you will see
The salvation of the Lord
Triolet
And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. Exodus 14:13
An explosion of color
Parking lot rainbow creations
Nature’s art in my path
Syllabic Verse
Another beautiful oil slick I happened to see today in a parking lot. This one is an explosion of color. So unique!
Mundane walking
Upon blacktop worn
I saw you shining
Bright like the sun
Right beneath my feet
Oil and water mixed
My colorless path
Transformed into
A sunny rainbow
Syllabic Verse
With head held high and
Beak uplifted, drops of water
Slide down his craw
Refreshed, he moves on
To splash away his troubles
Tanka
Water refreshes
Day’s door closes to the sun
Evening repose
Haiku
Sparkling
Water droplets
Beads of glistening rain
Decorate Miss Spider’s threads
Of doom
Cinquain
Apparently, Stone Skipping is quite a popular pasttime as there are tournaments and events for it, even a blog post titled:
” 13 Tips to Becoming a Better Stone Skipper”
Who knew?!! Not me!
I used to enjoy it as a child when I lived close to a river, but had since forgotten about it until now.
However, it looks like a great leisure time activity for anyone interested, especially if you live close to a river or lake!
