Magnetic Poetry Saturday

each moment holds
the promise of peace
for searching souls
with open hearts
and minds
that quietly listen

Election Reflection

it’s not like words will change our minds
we’re wasting time
sharing more thoughts
our soul’s are bought

so as this fight comes to an end
to all lost friends
fanatical
collateral

let’s hope we can bridge the divide
once we decide
t’would be a sin
to let hate win

Wanting – Magnetic Poetry Monday – 22 August 2016

Happy Monday! Today’s poem comes from the Original Magnet Kit.

wanting

wanting

we can moan about not having
or be pleased with what we have
but love is all one truly needs
anything less is showy fluff

you’ve been warned

Franz_Marc-In_the_Rain(Im_Regen)_(1912)

when planning for a lovely stroll,
with dog in tow,
to play some fetch
at river’s edge

take care to notice red dawn skies
-word to the wise-
you might regret
the plans you’ve set

if you ignore the coming storms
when you’ve been warned
you’ll feel the pain…
relentless rain.

Tides

Two Haiku for TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge. This week’s prompt word is “Tide”.


tides of greatest change
dredge through stagnant surfaces
no stone left unturned.

a fleeting riptide
offers escape for the wise
who go with the flow.
