I Spell It Nature

“I believe

in God,

only

I spell it

Nature.”

creation

Mother Nature

tiny unseen organisms

bigger than the imagination

universe

Senryu:      5-7-5 ( Haiku with people and their emotions/feelings as a topic)

.

loves giddy feelings

tickling both the heart and soul

thinking is hopeless

.

Poem:

.

he tried but could not meditate
the head was filled with too much noise
most feelings being driven by hate
a body, mind and soul with no poise

he found a guru he hoped could guide him
they quickly began to argue and fight
the words they used won’t be found in a hymn
neither would either let the other be right

tried anger management classes to no avail
the shrink doped him up on a really good pill
his sad dilemma became a really tragic tale
forlorned, he anguished  ‘I have no self will’

he found a group that relied on a Higher Power
they had only suggestions, nothing to fight
there was no one positioned atop the ivory tower
they let everyone have the chance to be right

all they said was keep coming back
learn to listen and listen to learn
quiet the noisy mind, find you own track
learn to give without seeking a return

he stopped fighting everything
took the steps they suggested
gave up the ride on the yoyo string
found the brain no longer congested

meditation soon became long naps
a prayer was one of gratitude
ever vigilant not to relapse
a whole new world was his to include

today his story he gladly shares
practicing those principles in all his affairs

Succeed

.

“Success is

counted sweetest

by those

ne’er succeed.”

.

― Emily Dickinson

Elfje:            (Cinquain)

.

small

not microscopic

somewhere in between

smaller than a breadbox

little

.

Senryu:      5-7-5 ( Haiku with people and their emotions/feelings as a topic)

.

fear creates bigot

one who can never be wrong

your opinion sucks

.

Poem:

.

switch gears
change your mind
let go of fears
let yesterday behind
no more tears
to ugly be blind

focus on love
let the sunshine in
do forgiveness a lot of
kindness is a win win
seek guidance from above
never ever sin

to the ignorant show patience
the best medicine is a good laugh
to the stupid extend tolerance
happiest are those who only take half
perfection is to seek the balance
warrant what will be an honest epitaph

relax
meditate
enjoy life to the max
let karma dictate your fate
let every ending be a happy climax
life should, could and can be great
