Poetic Asides pickup

Pick Up

Scattered laundry on a floor
Fast food on the run
Trash along the road
Colorful sticks just for fun

Items on a shopping list
Easter eggs hidden in grass
A package at UPS
Something new in class

Dry cleaning, dear
A hitchhiker begging for a lift
A penny for good luck
An extra shift

A possible date full of charms
A toddler with outstretched arms

acrostic

God is Love

G od, yes the creator of the universe
O pened Himself up to
D eath on the cross in

I ntercession for all
S inners, offering forgiveness,

L ove, grace and mercy for
O  ne and all. Love produces
V ictory over sin and death.
E ternal life is in the offering.

This is a mixed up and messed up world
with hundreds of religions telling it like they see it.
When all else fails, love God and others.

poetic asides excitement

Excitement

A hundred race cars revving
up their engines in my heart.
A thousand little artists
painting images in my mind.
Five hundred horsemen
trotting though my veins.
Joy, hope, anticipation
twirling around like ballerinas.
Someday!

The Gogyohka

Writing a gogyohka
Sounds like a monster
Beware the gogyohka’s
going to get you.
Just a five-phrase poem.

Reading

The splendid sight
Caused her to quiver
In joy and anticipation
Stacks of gifts
AKA books
