Becky’s Haiku: Cheer and Call

Leave a reply

038

“Trust me and remain

 In good cheer,” God answers when

I call with new tears.

I have just attempted yet another haiku challenge from Ronovan Writes blog using the words “cheer” and “call”. I am enjoying the challenge of trying to use such seemingly different and even opposite words in such a short poem. These prompts from Ronovan can really be a challenge to the mind.  If you like poetry challenges and haiku’s then I invite you to also accept his latest challenge at this link: https://ronovanwrites.wordpress.com/2015/10/19/

For a different road

I pine letting grief obscure

This journey of mine.

In the woods, I hear

 the musical harp of a

 lark so loud and clear.

The stag in the woods

Stood still and poised; then dashed off

At the slightest noise.

Cooler days start as

Autumn nears; hot summer days

Fade and disappear.

Becky’s Haiku: Remembering God, My Strength and Song

Leave a reply

As I walk and stroll

Along, I think of God who

Is my strength and song.

he has created

 by his own power all things:

earth, the moon, and stars.

he has revealed in

his book, chapter and verse; he

made the universe.

Nothing good was made

Without him; through his word filled

With power from within.

He gives breathing life

To all men and eternal

Life through his own Son.

He is like a love

 Song singing deep inside of

Me and whispering.

He sings in my heart

Ever quietly and through

The gentle, flowing breeze.

I also hear him

By the lake and sea as the

Waves lap peacefully.

And in the forest

When the birds sing, I can’t help

But remember him.

Always reminding

Me of his love and peace, so

Content, I can be.

So today I will

Stroll along and remember

God, my strength and song.

Streaming tears subside

As quiet peace stills and soothes

The soul like sweet wine.
