PAD 13-1 unlucky or lucky

 Unlucky

 

Today is Friday the 13^th 2020

which sounds like

breaking a mirror,

opening your umbrella inside,

walking under a ladder

and ten thousand black cats

crossing your path

all rolled into one.

PAD 12-3 number

 5,883

 

I used to think poetry

Absolutely not for me.

And though it may sound outrageous

Poetry became contagious.

I caught the bug at a writers camp

And soon became a poetry champ.

Wrote a poem a day since 2004

And grew in loving poetry more.

It may sound like an impossibility

But my poems number 5,883!

PAD 12-2 Number

 Trinity

 

One in three or is it three in one

Father, Spirit and the Son

Joyful blessings are all three

The one-in-three God surely loves me.

 The Day Ann Turned Ten

Mom wished she could afford more than a craft,

A simply made rag doll with button eyes.

The toy Ann wanted walked and talked and sang.

This doll may be a terrible surprise.

 

The birthday song hung silent in the air.

The diamond-shaped small cake cut shortly aft.

But something entered their small home to play,

A tiny frisky kitten with blue eyes .

 

The new rag doll now open and unmasked,

but Ann was more enthralled with her new guest.

Ann played with that sweet kitty and she laughed.

With loud delighted giggles their house rang.

 

The kitten came in like a rescue raft.

Mom though of that birthday with a heart pang.

 On My Bucket List

 I would love to stand in a cold crisp night

among a crowd of snowy pines pointing up

to the blue-green aurora borealis looking like

a luminescent angel descending from Heaven.

PAD 11-2 color

 The sun dipped down into the sea

Like a white glowing pupil in a red-orange eye

Above it, luminous orange clouds

Interspersed with blackness of night

PAD 11-1 color

 Periwinkle

 

I am a periwinkle fan.

A pastel purple mixed with blue.

It calms you like no other can.

And may improve your point of view.

Include it daily is my plan.

It makes my mood feel light and new.
