Carried by the wind
A seed blown with wishful breath
Gold crown manifests

#NaPoWriMo—Day 17–Prompt:
Today, I’d like you to challenge you to write a poem that similarly presents a scene from an unusual point of view
Tag: wish
Desiderate
A wish
Was unspoken
Hid in a heart broken
Until the day God’s voice made it
Happen
Cinquain
Inane Intentions
A beautiful thought
Unanchored, transforms into
Lovely empty wish

Make a Wish
In the forest green
Silky circle of lace is seen
Picking it I glean
A feeling that’s so serene
Suddenly I’m queen
Filled with wishes umpteen
A magical scene
Filled will sunshine sheen
Parachuting seeds careen

Wish Catcher
She jumped so high!
Dandelion seed floating by.
“Just caught a wish!” she said
I was out shopping yesterday and as I was walking thru the parking lot to my car I saw a young lady suddenly make a giant leap into the air!
“I got it!” she exclaimed to her friends with her.
I guess they all noticed my wondering, questioning look as I passed by them because the young lady said ” I just caught a wish!”
She opened her hand to show a dandelion seed.
“It’s magical” said her friend.
This moment made me smile as I remembered my childhood days of making wishes and blowing dandelion puffs.
Magical garden
A field of Dandelion puffs
A childhood delight

The Road Taken
NaPoWriMo–Day 24–Rewrite a favorite poem of the past to make a point
My choice was “The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost”
I decided to rewrite it from my personal perspective
Sleep Writing
In sleep
My mind writes verse
I wish I could capture
Such beautiful poetic lines
Awake

Tonight I fell asleep before writing my poem to post. I kept dreaming of poems and writing some in my sleep. Yet, when I woke up I could not remember any of them. I wish I could have, as in my dreams they seemed to be very good. Thus, the reason I wrote this poem.
Thank You to All My Followers!
Christmas is a special time for me!
Yet I know for some it may not be.
And so at this time of the year,
When my heart is full of cheer,
I want to also acknowledge you,
Who may not be feeling as I do.
Though my wish is bright and clear,
For a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
I want to offer these thoughts too,
Of Happy Holidays and Seasons Greetings to you.
And even for those who don’t celebrate,
I do not hesitate,
To wish you well in all you do,
And offer my thanks to you.
I appreciate all who follow me,
And where ever you may be,
I send my heartfelt greetings,
and hope for many more poetic meetings!
