Day 30-My Choice-2024

 Day 30-My Choice-2024

Writing poems frees my mind
To finding rhyming words in kind
Sometimes I write funny
Sometimes sublime
All I know is, I love my Honey
He’s been in the hospital four weeks now
I want him home, don’t know the how
He’s getting better day by day
As the Lord doth allow
April ends, and suddenly it’s May
Please think of our trials, as we go along
How we can grow in our faith in God
I know we will be blessed in the end
My prayers to Heaven as a song
The Iron Rod we cannot rend!

Husband healing in the Hospital
Every day he gets better
Always prayerful each day
Loving his memory of our love
It is a trial, but we have our faith
Never giving up

Then ended with Ducky, no lie

Day 18-Rhyme Royal Poem-2024

 Day 18-Rhyme Royal Poem

Rhyming in poetry can be so fun
But counting syllables is a huge chore
I like to write poems and here is one
With both kinds of directions, give me more
Make it work in whatever way, explore
Now I bring it to a close with a rhyme
And then end it with a flourish, sublime!

Looks like sunshine peeking through the clouds
Sounds like rain’s pitter-patter on the roof
Feels like a warm enveloping embrace
Smells like honeysuckle on the vine
Tastes like fresh fruit on my tongue

 Day 11-Autobiographical poem-2024

Vicki, Victoria, Gicki
Loyal, steadfast, loving, Christ-like
Sibling of Dolly, David, Valerie, Jamie, Stephen, Karen, Kathy, Kris, and Patty
Lover of her husband, her Gospel, her life
Loved by said husband and the Lord
Needs to be loved and cared for
Who gives her heart freely
Who fears she doesn’t do enough
Who would love to see an end to hate
Resident of the planet
Firth

 Day 9-Nonet Poems-2024

Back in long ago days in the Church
We did Roadshows to have some fun
Someone would write a new script
That told a story, but timed
The music was picked
We learned our parts
Sing, dance, act
Roadshows
Fun!

Day 6-Question Poem-2024

 Day 6-Question Poem-2024

Why do we question God?
He has provided us with everything
He makes us in His Image
So why do we treat others badly
Those who don’t look or act like us?
Why do we have trials?
How we handle our challenges
Helps us to grow and learn
We were put here to be taught
So let’s learn all we can
Let’s be kind to our fellow man
Life is short, be prepared
But it’s good and it should be fair
God is good and He is aware

When things are hard and I feel sad
I love my savior and He loves me
When I see a sunrise and I feel glad
I love my Savior and He loves me
When kids are born and my life is good
I love my Savior and He loves me
When our parents died and I understood
I love my Savior and He loves me
When I learn of God’s goodness and I rejoice
I love my Savior and He loves me
I will sing out loud and use my voice
I love my Savior and He loves me

Day 3-Triplet-2-24

 Day 3-Triplet-2024

Being a twin is lots of fun
A lot of crazy things were done
Go outside and play in the sun
If I could have been a triplet
Than we’d be more than a duet
A trio we’d be and don’t you fret
But I was blessed with a sister
We loved to sing songs together
And now we’re married, I’ve missed her
But memories still serve us now
Of songs we’ve sung, then took a bow
In days gone by, it warms my brow.

National Poetry Month-Day 1 2024

 5Ws Poem

To all the generations before me
Who’ve lived and loved their lives
In many places or countries
In times of great need or wrongs
And chose to be the good and right
Bravo, I salute you!
