Go On Trying

.

“Every poem I write

falls short

in some important way.

But I go on trying

to write

the one that won’t. ”

flowers
attract butterflies
bees that sting
bugs wanting free lunch
hummingbirds that do not sing
magical

.

Haiku:

.

essence of being
natures miracle at work
air that supports life

.

Poem:

.

waking to a  beautiful morn
rejuvenated during the restful night
sunshine bright and warm
the sky resplendent at first light

another day to do God’s will
steward of nature, helper to others
the sun reflected in the flowering daffodil
dew drops sprinkled by the fairy godmother

love begins with a kindness
God, Nature, others and self
creating families that are priceless
all things protected by the garden elf

is there a rhyme , a reason for the season
what really transpired in the garden of Eden

Quiet Please

.

“Poetry is

the least imposition

on silence

in a world

of chatter.”

.

~ Marvin Bell

Elfje: (Cinquain)

.

talk

ignoring reticence

dominating the conversation

pompous know it all

chatter

.

Haiku:

.

blossoms are blooming

natures perpetual song

bees and butterflies

.

Poem:

.

some talk to hear themselves talk
some chatter because they fear the silence
the noise doesn’t help them walk the walk
emotionally there is no balance

it is not the words spoken
it is the actions that count
all riders need a token
many quandaries to surmount

life is to grow up and change
become the best person you can be
many priorities we must rearrange
not me but you will be the key

seeking happy, joyous and free
serenity and peace of mind
when sobriety adorns your marquee
recovery is what you will find.

ME and the Boss
