Day 29-Poem In MY Pocket 2

 I also wrote my own for today.

Day29-Poem in my Pocket

The clouds in the distance are threatening

But we dearly need the rain

Our lives are full of changes

Changes in life are good

Without rain, the earth suffers

Without change, we suffer, too

So embrace the rain on your face

And learn to love the change

Day 29-Poem in my Pocket

 This is a poem I learned as a sophomore in high school, and I’ve never forgotten it. I’m sharing it today.

Poem in my pocket 2022

Du bist wie eine Blume

Heinrich Heine

Du bist wie eine Blume,

So hold und schön und rein;

Ich schau’ dich an, und Wehmut

Schleicht mir ins Herz hinein.

Mir ist, als ob ich die Hände

Aufs Haupt dir legen sollt’,

Betend, dass Gott dich erhalte

So rein und schön und hold.

You are like a flower

English Translation © Richard Stokes

You are like a flower,

So sweet and fair and pure;

I look at you, and sadness

Steals into my heart.

I feel as if I should lay

My hands upon your head,

Praying that God preserve you

So pure and fair and sweet.

Day 28-Spring Senses

 Day 28-Spring Senses

I see the new buds on the trees around me

I hear the rain on the roof above me

I feel the sunshine in my soul within me

I taste the berries on the vine below me

I smell the new mown grass near me

Ahhh, I love Spring!

Day 27-Alliteration

 Day 27-Alliteration Poem

Vicki vented victoriously when

She saw a silly someone sharing

Candy with a couple of kids close by.

I want what you were wrangling, too!

They gratefully gave her glorious gobs

Of their gooey goodies.

Vicki was no longer vexed, but feeling very full and valiant!

Quilt

Making

Breathtaking

Gorgeous artwork

Now pulls at the heartstrings

It can compare to fine brushwork

And takes many hours of loving piecework

You can be sure the artist worked without any guilt

Fabrics are chosen with colors berserk

Then hand sewn into a patchwork

The design now takes wing

Fine needlework

So Loving

Applied

Built

Day 22-Acrostic

 Day 22-Acrostic

Do you ever need to feel happy and need a fantasy land

Remember your young years and strike up a band

So, if you love Horton and Maizie and the Whos

Every story you can think of by beloved Dr Seuss

Until you see Seussical the Musical on stage

Stay ready to love it, it’s funnier than fun

Seuss stories abound in word and in song

 Day 19-Rhyme Royal

Spring sunrises are glorious and bright

While taking a walk this morning early

I was entranced by the beautiful light

There were golds, purples, and reds, all pearly

It made me thankful for all, so dearly

This old world was made for us to care for

So we need to do all we can and more

 Day 17-Free Verse

All leaves are things of beauty

The vibrant colors shine

They make us love them all

There’s the beautiful greens of Summer

And the various browns of Fall

Much like the skins of earths people

Each shade is so unique

They’re what make life so wonderful

And glorious, rich, and full

This is a Poet-Tree at the Daybreak Library where I now work.

 Day 15-Octopoem

The earth in Spring means green

Spring is a changeable season

Because outside our back door, I see green and white

And there’s rain now watering the grass

A day ago, there was a cloak of white everywhere

On days like this, it’s nice to curl up under a cozy blanket

Watching an episode of Star Trek

Eating caramel covered popcorn

Many books beckon

Many books beckon eternally

Many books beckon eternally in my brain

Day 13-"What it...?"

 Day 13-“What if…?”

What if it didn’t snow in April?

I might have frozen my fingers

What if I realized it might snow?

I could prepare better

What if I listened to the weatherman(or woman)?

I would get warmer gloves!

Is this a silly thought?

When we were younger, life was fine
We’d play outside until dinner time
Our lives were simpler and filled with fun
Hide and Seek, Red Rover, and done.

Quilts are works of art

The quilter takes the time to plan

Then pick out fabric

Now put them all together

The shapes and colors conform

(Not mine, but I aspire to do one!)
