A Poetry Challenge To Myself

“Broken Dreams” by andziadesign

Every so often, I like to challenge myself with my poetry. Today I logged into Bing Images, grabbed the first one, and crafted the haiku below.

A heart bursting forth
Anguish is encompassing
This near winter night

 

Thankfulness Journal: The Beauty Of My Home

​So much beauty here 

When sun shines, it’s glorious 

I also love rain 

Today’s gratitude poem: the importance of friends 



The kindness of friends 

Creating community

And nurturing grace 
Friends make life’s journey more beautiful. They should be celebrated more. 

This Autumn Day

Love this autumn day
Which has crested into night
Now rest, finally

November’s Theme: Gratitude

p style=”font-family:"”>We focus on gratitude

p style=”font-family:"”>Seems appropriate, the month of Thanksgiving, to focus on gratitude. Today’s haiku sets the stage, reminding us of the value of gratitude,  of connection, of interdependence. 

A Wind Transformed: A Haiku 

Wind’s movement graceful 

The earlier fortitude 

Now a gentle song  

A Poet’s Response To “Houston Dad Handles Bully Beautifully”

This haiku came to me after reading “Houston Dad Handles Bully Beautifully“.

When facing evil 

Focusing fully on grace 

Always seek to grow 

Grace can accomplish many great things, as it requires courage to step forward in such a way.  

We love to quarrel so

We love to quarrel

Satisfied with petty spite

Yet the sun will rise

Seeking Growth

With deepest rigor

I am always seeking growth

Autumn leaves still fall

Looking nightward
