Graying skies, illuminated,
saltless tears collecting, swelling
droplets bursting, earth is sated;
pools of vibrant life force welling.
Breezes sweet and warm with dew
tease the buds to bloom compelling
Winter’s surrender; Spring’s debut;
pools of vibrant life force welling.
Sweetness rains upon the gravid loam
fertile ooze with seedlings melding;
wake up the sleeping world, our home
pools of vibrant life force welling.

Keeping this morning’s theme going, a Tanka poem for my poetry form of the day.
we call it prayer,
spiritual conversations,
“good talks” with our god
where we do all the talking
and god’s supposed to listen

heads that swirl with lies and fear
fear of what they do not know
know that when the Piper comes
comes he reaping what they’ve sowed
sowed the wrath of powerful greed
greed for what was never theirs
theirs to take, to spoil and use
use without a passing care
care for those who toil for bread
bread, day old, crumbs to sustain
sustain the lavish lusts of men
Men in power who use the least for gain

(A Loop Poem)
when spring follows winter
too soon with greening and
beautiful rose and daffodil blooms
nature secretly longs
for one more frosting

A Bit of Kindness
On her feet for meager wages
armed with high tech laser wand
she tallies groceries one by one.
Hurried shoppers, rude, impatient,
expect her to serve selflessly,
ignoring her humanity.
She returns their scowls with smiles,
the boss says customers are right,
“Come back again, have a good night…”
She needs this job to pay the bills
but every month she must decide
what’s most important to survive.
Remember this next time you shop,
acknowledge her, don’t look away,
smile, say thank you, make her day.
