Brush of air strokes the
cheek; wisp of irises dance
in the gentle breeze.
White daisies sway in
the field; vision sweet touches
the faint heart with peace.
Latest Haiku Challenge! If you enjoy writing Haikus and
like a challenge, then here you go:
Autumn leaves fall: red,
Orange, and lemon-yellow tint
Emitting sweet scent.
I have attempted a new haiku challenge from Ronovan Writes blog using the words “sweet” and “scent”. This is often an enjoyable challenge for those who like writing short poem or like word puzzles and challenges. If you like word challenges and haiku’s, then I invite you to also accept Ronovan’s latest challenge at this link and have fun: https://ronovanwrites.wordpress.com/category/haiku-prompt-challenge/
Crossing the narrow
Bridge, I wondered what new place
Lay over the ridge.
Perhaps a meadow
Of flowers or a stream filled
With rippling water.
Or perhaps a new
Mountain to climb and reach its’
Peak to touch the sky.
Sometimes a problem
needing a solution and
I must trust in him.
Sometimes it is pain
And grief when sad news reaches
Me; must still believe.
In life I’ve learned each
day is a journey to lean
on Jesus only.
Letting him lead the
Way through the trials and
Triumphs each new day.
He continues to be
My Savior, Lord and true friend
For eternity.
So as I cross a
New bridge I’ll lean on him to
Reach that distant ridge.
The Lord always leads
Me even though I don’t see
His hand holding me.
He does forever
Stay in my heart this moment.
This hour and all day.
Teaching and even
Guiding me in his love while
Sitting high above.
In heaven over
The clouds and the rain reaching
With his outstretched hand.
He holds on never
Letting go while I rest or
Walk this road alone.
Raining sunshine to
Brighten my way so I know
This day he has made.
Angelic singing,
Like flowers blooming, sweetens
My innermost soul.
I have just attempted yet another haiku challenge from Ronovan Writes blog using the words “sing” and “flower”. I am still enjoying these poetic challenges: they are like brainteasers.

As time journeys through
Each year, I grow in lasting
Hope instead of fear.

I gaze to the sky
Lovely lights make it dazzle
Raining down from high
Although a bit late for the weekly challenge, my cousin Kathy just attempted another haiku challenge from Ronovan Writes blog using the words “sky” and “dazzle”. I am enjoying the challenge of putting different and even opposite words in such a short poem.

Birth of summer brings
Good cheer as warmer days and
Late sunsets are here.
