Journey into AUTUMN

Leave a reply

Aromatic and fragrant scents filter the crisp atmosphere

Underneath the vibrant gaze of the afternoon sun.

Towering oaks, elms, birches, and maples billow

Upon the wings of a flowing breeze.

Meandering through the ever changing forest

Now crowned in orange, green, and golden splendor.

Decima Poem: Finding Peace in Nature’s Quietness

Leave a reply
Glowing flame crowns the silent trees
as the evening sun sits on
the far and distant horizon.
Tis a simple and quiet scene
to gaze upon serenity.
Such soothing gentleness imparts
a hidden smile touching each heart
of all those who seek to witness
the hushed splendor of nature’s rest;
peace found in its’ tranquility.

 

I just took the challenge of writing my first decima poem in which I must use the word “smile” in one of the “c” lines.  The poem is ten lines with the following rhyming pattern: abbaaccddc. Each line is 8 syllables. If you want to give this challenge try, here is the link to learn all about it:

Pantoum: While Walking through the Forestland

Leave a reply
While walking through the forestland
beneath the boughs of leafy green,
wading amidst the sea of swaying grass
as sweet carols unseen bluebirds sing.
Beneath the boughs of leafy green
while the river nearby gently flows,
as sweet carols unseen bluebirds sing
high above the lush, rolling meadow.
As the river nearby gently flows,
the sky above shone a sapphire hue
high above the lush rolling meadow;
sparkling like a crystal jewel.
The sky above shone a sapphire hue
under the sun’s ever vibrant gaze;
sparkling like a crystal jewel
as towering pines offer comfort and shade.
Under the sun’s ever vibrant gaze
wading through the sea of swaying grass
as towering pines offer comfort and shade
while walking through the forestland.

HAPPY EASTER DAY

Heaven sent gift of love and hope;

Ascension of Jesus, Savior and Lord.

Perfect and holy; he knew no sin;

Punishment he suffered for all believing in Him.

Yesterday’s and today’s offenses are forgiven;

Eternal salvation now awaits in heaven.

After that long night when he hung on the cross;

Suffering in silence, our Lord Jesus.

Tomb is opened as the stoned is rolled away;

Early morning celebration, oh Happy Easter Day!

Resurrected, Jesus is alive; in heaven, in my

heart and always at my side.

HAPPY EASTER

Becky’s Pantoum: Sunlight on the Horizon

Leave a reply
As sunlight glistens on the horizon,
while the shield of darkness quietly fades,
of powder blue the sky softly lightens
turning the dawn into glorious new day.
While the shield of darkness quietly fades,
as the stars one by one disappear,
turning the dawn into a glorious new day
casting a ray of hope upon the earth.
As the stars one by one disappear
into the dispersing cloak of night
casting a ray of hope upon the earth
spanning from early morn to eve’s twilight.
Into the dispersing cloak of night,
as the moon emits a pale and ghostly glow
spanning from early morn to eve’s twilight
barely visible in a shimmering shadow.
As the moon emits a pale and ghostly glow,
of powder blue the sky softly lightens,
barely visible in a shimmering shadow
as sunlight glistens on the horizon.

The Lord God is my SHELTER

He is my:

Safe haven when I am afraid.

Help when I am in trouble or in need.

Ever present friend when I feel all alone.

Loving Father who keeps continual watch over me.

Trusted Lord and Savior who never forgets those who love Him.

Everlasting Hope for an eternally secured future.

Refuge of rest in the wake of life’s fiercest storms.

He is my everlasting Lord who never changes,

never fails, and his good and purposeful plans

will endure and prevail.
