Day Eighteen
Day Eighteen-Poem in my Pocket Day
I decided for today, to write a poem in one of the styles we already did, Richtameter.
Poems
Words of our souls
Help us see others lives
Give us a glimpse of eternal
Share our Father’s love for each of these souls
Teach us of His truths and wonders
Make us look at the world
And see ourselves
Poems

Day Seventeen-Haiku
Potted plants of all kinds
Sit on windowsill in sun
Drinking in the warmth

Day Sixteen
Day Seventeen-Poiku
Crane Wife 3
All under the boughs
Hang my head, hang my head low
Feathers fell from skin
Another Poiku
Goose Snow Cone
Face of Goose Snow Cone
Truce, stone, origami crow
The devil I know

Day Sixteen
Day Sixteen-Windspark Poem
I dreamed
I was a soft bunny
In the meadow
Hopping through the clover
Quietly
I dreamed
I was a three year old
I'm my mother's arms
Quietly sleeping
Contentedly

Day Fifteen
Day Fifteen-Tyburn poem
The Gym
Early
Sweaty
Busy
Noisy
We all work out early, sweaty ways
So we can have busy, noisy days!
(Now THAT was a workout!)

Day Fourteen
Day Fourteen-Couplets
Here's a silly one:
I'm glad they invented tissue
For what our bodies issue.
Not so silly:
I'm glad that we have dogs
They bring us closer to God
Spiritual:
Our Heavenly Father gives us so much
Our talents can other lives touch
We can use our talents for good
Just as our Savior would
Our lives are so enriched
To our Lord we must be stitched.
Day Thirteen
Day Thirteen-Triplet
There’s something about the weather
That’s making me wonder if whether
The weather is crazy and *blether
(*talk in a long-winded way without making very much sense)

Day Twelve

Now
Our ancestors who came before us
Built up our country we live in
They’ve worked hard to bless our lives
Are we honoring them
Ev’ry day we live
Making life
Worthy
Now
Day Eleven
Day Eleven-Five Line Poem
The Lord knows who you are
Of that I am sure
He shares His love in so many ways
He makes the sky so blue
I love my Father in Heaven.

Day Ten
Day Ten-What if....I might Poem
What if I could control the weather
I might make it sunny every day
What if all worries were light as a feather
I could carry them wherever I may
What if I could make all lives better
I would get on my knees and pray
Is it really possible to have all of our dreams today?
Day Nine
Day Nine-Rictameter Poem
Grandkids
Love of my life
Give lots of love and hugs
Are so fun to have around me
Their joy makes my life content and happy
As a grandparent I can watch
Them grow into adults
They give meaning
Grandkids

Day Eight
Day Eight-Octopoem
My Twin and I
When we were little, I loved pink and she loved purple
The season we loved best was winter, because of Christmas and our Birthday
We grew up in Long Beach and loved it there
The sun was always shining
One year, our Easter dresses were pink and blue
We slept in twin beds in the same room
I remember watching Romper Room and Engineer Bill
One year, we baked a birthday cake for our brother that was lopsided and green

Day Seven
Day Seven-Senses Poem
Spring
I see our cat in the window
I smell flowers in the air
I hear birds chirping outside
I feel the sun's warmth on my skin
I taste fresh strawberries on my tongue
I love Spring
Or
Spring
Cat in the window
Flowers in the air
Birds chirping outside
Sun's warmth on my skin
Fresh strawberries on my tongue
I love Spring!
Then the other version
It looks like a beautiful Spring day
It smells like fresh mown grass
It sounds like nature's waking up
It feels like a warm cozy blanket
It tastes like strawberries in season.

Day six
Day Six-Shadorama poem
Close to God
As we live our lives
Our one goal,
Heart's yearning
Is to truly be worthy
Of our Saviour's love.

Day Two
Day two-Penses Food Poem
‘Nanas
Not for my mouth
Hated them my whole life long
Until I made “Bakini” bread
Grandson changed my thinking
Day Three-Grammar Poem
Day Three-Grammar Poem
Music
Thought-provoking and ethereal
Streaming through my mind softly
Like a warm summer breeze
If only there weren’t so much noise around me

Day one
Day One- 5 Ws Poem
Martha, a valiant warrior, a Daughter of God
A good friend, neighbor, and Breast Cancer Survivor.
She has now returned to her Heavenly Home,
This last Saturday while at her earthly home,
After Cancer came back with a vengence.

A Grandchild Leaves for College
Having a grandchild leave for college
Is kind of disconcerting.
We want her to be prepared to take over the world,
But we miss her so very much.
I know she'll do an awesome job at learning
So why does it have to be so hard!!
