Day 30-Senses Poem
Day 30-Senses Poem
I see all the bright colors and patterns
I smell the fresh scent of laundry soap
I hear the whirring of the sewing machine
I feel the slightly rough fabric textures
I taste the sweet satisfaction of serving
I think these masks will bless lives

Face masks
To cover my face
And provide protection
So hot and uncomfortable

A daily struggle
But worth it all

Day 28-Hero Poem
Day 28-Hero Poem
There’s Teddy bears in many windows
Bringing families some joy
And there’s people sewing Facemasks
For every adult, girl, and boy
Then there’s hero’s on the Frontlines
Saving lives and suffering pain
As they go each day to battle
Against and enemy, and don’t complain
We have scientists working overtime
As they search for a saving cure
So our lives can return to normal
Of this we can be sure
But we all can be Superheroes
As we go about our day
Staying home, staying safe, saving lives
Now, that’s the hero way!

Day 26-Monorhyme
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade
If you follow this advice, then you’ll have it made
Our memories of bad times, eventually will fade
And we’ll lie around on beaches in the nice cooling shade
One day we’ll have parties and celebrate with parades
When life gives you lemons, then you must make lemonade!

Day 23- Free Choice
Our lives have changed so very much
Each day is a new adventure
We long for days when we can touch
We need more than this tiny aperture
So live your life in gratefulness
For one day we’ll see the normalcy
And be thankful for all this crazy mess
As we’ve weathered the stormy Tsunami

Day 21-Clerihew Poem
Day 21-Clerihew poem
Chuck Norris is a cowboy who kicks
He plays Cordell Walker who’s no hick
When fighting the bad guys each week
He sometimes throws them in the creek!
He comes from the great state of Texas
Alex Cahill and CD are ageless
Ranger Trivette is his faithful sidekick
Like Tonto, this Ranger is quick!
So, don’t get on Walker’s bad side
Or you may end up on your backside
He’s the butt-kicking Ranger Cowboy
A Cherokee by birth, he’s no plowboy!

Day 20-The Unicorn and the Centaur
Day 20-Poem Generator-The Unicorn and the Centaur
See the hopping of the unicorn,
I think he's angry at the thorne.
He finds it hard to see the buckle,
Overshadowed by the purple french honeysuckle.
Who is that waiting near the shoe?
I think she'd like to eat the crew.
She is but a natural centaur,
Admired as she sits upon a your.
Her tall car is just a toe,
It needs no gas, it runs on portico.
She's not alone she brings a foot,
a pet mule, and lots of alpine coltsfoot.
The mule likes to chase a geranium,
Especially one that's in the titanium.
The unicorn shudders at the tiny sun
He want to leave but she wants the cross bun.

Day 20-Poem Generator-The Unicorn and the Centaur(Revised)
See the hopping of the unicorn,
I think he's angry at the thorne.
He finds it hard to see the buckle,
Overshadowed by the purple french honeysuckle.
Who is that waiting near the beach?
I think she'd like to eat a peach.
She is but a natural centaur,
Admired as she sits upon a magic Orb
Her tall staff is just for show,
She made it out of last night’s rainbow.
She's not alone she brings a lute,
a pet mule, and lots of ripe Kiwi fruit.
The mule likes to chase a geranium,
Especially one that's in the terrarium.
The unicorn shudders at the waning sun
He wants to leave but she wants the cross bun.

There’s so many Musician’s I love
But the one who I love the most
Is the one who sang a song
Back when we were dating
He caught my heart then
Ever in love

Do cats rule our lives?
When the cat demands "Me" time,
They most likely do
She bumps us when it's her time
She's demanding and forceful

We stay safe
It shouldn't chafe

Day 12-Free Verse
Day 12-Free Verse
Easter Sunday
The Day of Renewal
Because of our Savior
Who died for us,
On that fateful day,
So long ago.
Here in the present day
We think of Him
As we sacrifice
As He did.
There is no other way
For our Eternal Life.
I’m so grateful for
His loving Gift,
So I’ll spend this day
In gratitude
For all He has done for me.

Day 9-Pleiades Poem
Eggs
Easter is a time to celebrate
Each year we see rebirth
Eggs, the symbol of unhatched potential
Earnest children hunt for them
Embryos of new life
Emblems of the Spring
Earth has awakened.

Day 8-Octopoem
Day 8-Octopoem
The moon last night was what is called, a Pink Supermoon,
Which only happens in the Spring
Right now the moon is at it’s closest elliptical of the Earth
It was so beautiful and clear out
The chill in the air, required a jacket
I should have taken a chair outside to witness this event
I could hear the television show, FBI playing inside the house
Maybe I should get Moon Pies to celebrate this amazing sighting of the rare Pink Supermoon!

Day 7-What if.....I might poem
Day 6-What if......I might poem
What if all doors were open?
I might be friends with everyone
What if all people got along?
I could live more joyfully
What if they found a cure?
I would not worry so much
Do you think it’s possible we will learn our lessons from this struggle?

Day 5-Triplets
Day 5-Triplets
Triplets are fun to write
I can do it both day and night
'Cause now we're in the same plight
We're stuck in our very own houses
And not because we are mouses
So hopefully we're with our spouses
So, let's make the best of our time
And then use it to write us some rhymes
Like, "Parsley, Rosemary, and Thyme

Day 4-Couplet
Day 4-Couplet
While doing a deep Spring Clean
A found lost treasure is supreme
It helps me remember and pray
It’s the start of a brand new day
Just like His Heavenly Plan
He is our “Middleman”
For the Savior died for us
Our resurrection, we can trust
His promise for our lives
Eternal Life, we are not deprived!

Rainbows are so pretty
Day 3-National Find A Rainbow Day
When I see a red, red rose, it reminds me to show love
Or an orange sunset tells me to share joy
Flowers of yellow guide me to help others to be happy
The green grass of Spring reminds me there is a promise of rebirth
The sky so blue encourages me to be hopeful
An indigo night sky helps me to comfort others
And violets show me that all things on earth are from God.

My sleep has been in jumbled
My poor brain can't catch a break
Our world is such a huge mess
I'm glad it's now Spring
