Theory Poetic Asides, Canada 4

March 4th

 

Today I will march forth

on my way to Canada.

“You’re going on a trip AGAIN!”

Yes, I have a theory:

when the travel bug has bitten

and is given opportunity,

it will do a happy dance

that makes you feel alive.

So travel away!

So I’ll travel away

to Canada today.

But first stop in Durango,

Sleep at the Super 8,

To avoid driving in the dark.

Canada 3

 One More Day

 

To see the blood moon,

I got up at four.

I would have preferred

To stay home and snore.

 

But I had to work

At the nature center,

With sixteen children

With Kathie a mentor.

 

And then home again,

Almost in a stupor,

Wanting to do nothing,

A real party pooper.

 

But I aim mentally

To get in gear,

As Sis and I head

For the second trip this year.

 

So we’re off to Canada.

Perhaps there will be snow.

Less than 24 hours,

We’ll be on the go.

Canada 2

 

Two More Days

 

I’m suffering from overwhelm.

Jesus, would You take the helm?

There’s too much to do.

My brain’s turned to goo.

I need my life to be in Your realm.

Canada Poem 1

 Three More Days

 

Some friends tend to flip

When I’m off on another trip,

But the time seems right

To take train or flight,

Since I just got back from a ship.

cause and effect Poetic Bloomings

 

There once was a cat named Sledge

Who spied a glass on the ledge

He couldn’t resist it

And boldly did fist it

Glass smashed since it fell over edge

Initialism Poetic Asides

 

LOL

 

Laughing out loud from your spirit.

Humor abounds if you hear it.

Through trial, toil and trouble,

Let laughter so bubble.

Just let loose and do not fear it.

Silver

 Matthew 26:15

 

For silver pieces, three time ten.

Our Lord was sold to die and then

He bled and died as sacrifice

In our place

In our place

In our place

Amazing that we’re worth that price
