Day 15 Ode Poem

Day 15 Ode Poem

An Ode to Poetry

Oh, Poetry, sweet Poetry

What would we do without it?

It urges us to think and laugh

It’s sometimes silly, sometimes sad

It sings to us of greater joys

It tells us stories sublime

It reminds us of our lost loves

Sometimes brought to our knees

Our tears freely flowing

Oh, Poetry, sweet Poetry!

As children we learn to write

Our letters look scattywhompus

The we are taught to read

To make sense of the world around us

Simple stories written in rhyme 

To never be forgotten 

Such as Jack and Jill went up a hill

And Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall

The beat of the rhythms inside us

Oh, Poetry Sweet, Poetry!

Then as we mature we grapple

With all that the world has to offer

We ponder and consider our thoughts

We hear music in our memories and souls

Through the poems and songs we gleaned

To help ourselves and others along

Ever the beat of our lives

It gives us meaning and purpose 

Oh, Poetry, sweet Poetry!

Changes

come daily

circle of life

capers as we struggle

calling us to our Heavenly home

cabaret of things we need to do

cerulean colors swirling above us for evermore

 Day 12 Senses Poem

Clouds in the sky

Rain as it fills the air

Patter of raindrops on the window

Reminders of childhood

Moisture as I breathe

How lovely our world is

Six months ago you left us

So suddenly we all reeled

We miss your smile and music

We feel your presence

 Day 9 Windspark Poem

I dreamed

I was a cat

On a lap

Sleeping in my favorite spot 

Lazily
