musings on a gray dawn day

musings on a gray dawn day

no glistening streams of golden rays
today the dawn is draped in gray
the ground is damp and smells of musk
of fading leaves and hickory husks
but I’m not blue because you see
weather has no power o’er me
and facts are facts, the sun did rise
just as the new moon blots the sky
no matter what each day may bring
i can be sure of one true thing
as morning comes to break the night
no one or thing can dim my light
it never lasts, the dark and gray
and so I rise to seize the day
each moment, opportunity
to be the best that I can be

Magnetic Haiku

It’s been a minute since I dabbled in magnetic poetry. You should give it a go…it’s good for the soul. Peace and love my peeps! ✌️🫶🖖

Find the online magnetic poetry tool HERE. I used the Happiness kit and the Nature kit today.


autumn haiku


autumn haiku


softly, fall the leaves
surrendering to the whirlwind 
that whispers, ‘come home’

the graces

the graces

time and once upon ago
Euphrosyne’s amber tresses flowed
on wisps of autumn’s frosted breath

dear Aglaia, the tall and slim
in elegance, slow danced with wind
cloud-kissed, her raiment golden flecked

and Thalia, sweet Thalia blushed bright
her supple shallow roots held tight
as fledglings flitted from their summer nests

yes time and once upon ago
from seed to sprout these beauties showed
resilience when the tempests raged
they met each season shift with grace
flowered, fruited, shed their seed
the most magnificent of trees
and lovely still, though worn with age
if they could speak what might they say?

embrace each season of this life
dwell on the good, let go the strife
time steals away before you know
so learn to bend when fierce winds blow
let your roots spread deep and wide
reach to heaven’s North Star guide
then soft surrender to the loam
leave not a trace, but grace, come home

heat-waives

heat-waives
a haiku

how weary she looks
parched, fading, lush to chartreuse
wistful for autumn
