Day 17-Free Verse

 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 16-Naani Poem

 Day 16-Naani Poem

Consider the wonderful gift

Of our lives

That we will be resurrected

Because He loves us

Day 15-Octopoem

 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

Day 14-Pyramid Poem

 Day 14-Pyramid Poem

Books

Many books

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?

 Day 12-Quinzaine

Writing poetry daily

How crazy is it

To do it?

As we get older

Life goes on and soon changes

Things we did when young

Like running and playing games

Longing to feel this again

Day 9-Nonet

 Day 9-Nonet

The new day is starting to look nice

It’s getting warmer each Spring day

I’m excited to see green

And flowers all around

The only problem is

Sneezing begins

Allergies

Oh, well

Spring

Blissfully comforting

If only I could drink a gallon!

Day 4-Quatrain

 Day 4-Quatrain

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.

Day 3-Triplet

No, I’m a twin and not a triplet

With us together, that’s what you get

We’d count our hubbies for a quartet!

Day 2-Tanka

 Day 2-Tanka

Day 2-Tanka

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!)

Day 1- Couplet

 This thing called April Fool's Day

Is a time when lots of people play

Always remember to take great care

For jokes and pranks will be the fare

Inktober 2021 has been fun!
