Poetic Asides Treochair

Summer sun

Stirs up adventurous souls

Fanning flames of future fun

Mystic moon

God’s round, romantic nightlight

Crickets crooning courting tune

Poetic Blooming Poetic Exercise

Remind Me

A long walk, a hike, snow-shoeing, climbing

makes me feel alive. Someone one remind me

that when I’m indoors with chores or rhyming

I need some time outdoors to be happy.

There are things  I want, need or like to do.

Most days my to-do list’s filled end to end.

I aim to get things done all the way through.

There’s so many projects and tasks to tend.

While I’m inside a cool wind is blowing,

the sun is shining, the mountain calling,

bikes to be riding, boats to be rowing.

All of these, my projects are forestalling.

Someone remind me, in order to thrive,

to drop what I’m doing and play outside.

On and On Come the Moths

We rejoiced in rain this year

Lilacs thrived, tulips  blazed, daffodils flamed

Proclaimed summer was near

Spring snow came, but not for long

Rain pounded, trees greened up, and rivers flowed

Drops forebode in their song

Lots of moths thrived even more

They flutter and tap, tap sounding like rain

Gain entrance through our door

Poetic Bloomings Imagination

Incongruous

When I was in elementary school,

adults would ask me if I liked it.

I said that I liked school but,

I liked summer vacation better.

The truth is, I’d sit at my desk

gazing out the window

imagining the fun things

I’d rather be doing.

It didn’t seem right to be indoors

when I could be exploring, building,

biking, pretending, playing amongst

fall colors, fun snow or spring puddles.

To me it seemed incongruous

that in order to be educated

you  had to do something stupid

like sit indoors on a nice day.

Poetic Bloomings Duo Rhyme

She’s Got to be Kidding

My sister lost a lot of weight,

so I did ask her what she ate.

But she assured me that I knew,

that losing weight’s not hard to do.

I tried the plan where fats are few.

Another where they’re higher, too.

And one with veggies all day through.

And bid delicious carbs adieu.

And drinking water till I’m blue.

Six-meal plan set my day askew.

And so I know at this slow rate,

I would be dead to see size eight.

Poetic Asides Name

Name Above All Names

(Philippians 2:6-11, Acts 4:12)

Names come by easily.

Mom and Dad have a baby

and there’s yet another name.

There’s a name that’s above all names.

In that name is power, hope, joy and peace.

In that name is passage to the throne room

and a guarantee that Heavenly Father hears you.

In that name is healing, protection and provision.

In that name is forgiveness of sin and Eternal Life.

In that name is favor, guidance and the gift of the Holy Spirit.

The name above all names,

Jesus.
