Family (a cinquain)

Family;
blessed, somber.
Missing, wishing, finding.
Mother's Day draws near.
Bittersweet.

Seize The Day (a tanka)

The words 'seize the day'
resonate deep in my soul.
Bit by bit I grow,
seeing events differently
each passing minute.

Mornings (a cinquain)

Mornings.
Peaceful, renewed.
Singing, rising, blooming.
Robins among the tulips.
Thankful.

Shifting Winds (a tanka)

Our minds always change
just like the strong, shifting winds
coursing through our land;
bringing on quick decisions,
effecting those around us.

Never Forget

Mission accomplished,
yet we must remember those
who died for the cause,
those who risk their one precious
life as the threat lingers on.

Beltane (a haiku)

The land springs to life,
the call of Beltane rousing
those from cold slumber.

Tears in the South (a haiku)

The treacherous winds
tore through our neighbors' dwellings;
our hearts console theirs.
