couplets

 

Intercessors

 

So glad you all are there

Ready to say a prayer

For anyone who is in need

Reaching Heaven with speed

 

I can count on you

To always see me through

In joy and in sorrows

In todays and tomorrows

 

We have seen God’s hand

Giving strength to stand

Giving help and healing

Receiving grace with feeling

 

Thank You for caring

And that burdens you’re sharing

In deep intercession

Your Heavenly mission

Afternoon poem

 In Passing

 

I had never met her before.

The clerk at the auto repair.

Plain looking girl,

brown hair, glasses.

She could have been me.

She was so very nice.

She took me home

and promised to come get me

when my car was fixed.

We chatted the whole way to my house

and, after a few hours, back again.

She was Kelly, married fifteen years,

had two middle grade kids,

resided in Utah before moving to Colorado.

I knew about her mother-in-law’s strokes,

her new puppy, part retriever, part lab,

her wish to visit Australia.

I knew more about her

than some people I’ve known for years.

Kind of a remarkable thing

and I may never see her again.

Anticipation Poetic Bloomings

 

It’s Kenya

 

I got the Visa and the shots

Plane tickets at a lower rate

I bought the stuff to repel bugs

It’s Kenya I anticipate

 

My passport’s not expired yet

Have luggage scales to know the weight

Malaria pills guard my health

It’s Kenya I anticipate

 

I got my camera and a spare

Binoculars to see the great

Adaptors so I can plug in

It’s Kenya I anticipate

 

I got the Visa and the shots

It’s Kenya I anticipate

Pensee 3

 

Sun hat

Polka dot bow  

Enjoying a sunny walk

Ocean beach in St. Augustine

I wish I were there now

Pensee 2

 

Pink socks

Fruit of the Loom

Cheering me up on gray days

Snuggled between my feet and shoes

Little things have impact

Pensee

 

Laptop

Thought conveyor

Words appear with a tap, tap

Here in my comfy recliner

Composing made easy
