Nice, PAD 27-1, triolet

 

Like Pulling Off an Adhesive Bandage

 

Sometimes nice isn’t actually nice.

The best things to do might seem mean.

Some pamper when a smile would suffice.

Sometimes nice isn’t actually nice.

Some faux niceness comes via advice.

You have to kill germs to be clean.  

Sometimes nice isn’t actually nice.

The best things to do might seem mean.

Meandering PAD 26-3, Trimeric

 The Travel Bug


The travel bug has bitten

And I long to expand

By wandering around the world

Who knows where I’ll land

 

And I long to expand

Stretching, taking risks

Learning and growing

 

By wandering around the world

Meandering here and there

New sights and adventures  

 

Who knows where I’ll land?

Australia, Israel, Iceland, Qatar, Japan?

I have a long bucket list.

Meandering, PAD 26-2, acrostic

 

Meandering

 

Meandering through life

Endlessly wandering

Ambling along

Now winding this way and that

Dawdling, pondering, considering

Even moseying

Roaming, rambling, roving

Interacting with whatever presents itself

Not merely meandering, but following

God’s direction, bringing a beautiful ending.

meandering, PAD 26-1, Tri-Fall

 

Meandering

 

Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Matthew 6:26 (NIV)

 

Meandering I go,

But not lost.

Wandering in forests and creeks

Through sunshine, rain or snow

Hair wind-tossed

Being aware that nature speaks.

 

Observing a design

Intricate

Flora and fauna harmonize.

Together they combine

Infinite

Declaring the divine and wise.

                                                                              

What nature has to say

About Him,

The designer also made us.

So if we lose our way

And things dim,

The Creator’s One we can trust.

Love antii love PAD 25-2, Tetrctys

 

Write

Your heart

Write your mind

Write your spirit

Write your question, answers, and ponderings

Write to inform, to surprise, to laugh, to love

Write whenever

Write because

Just write

Right?
