A POEM
Have you ever written poetry?
Pink of girls
Skipping along.
Giggles and hair
Coming out of braids
Life has only joy,
Right then
Right now.
by Barbara Rogers
We were asked to pick a color, and meditate on it, then write a poem if we felt like it. So this came to me from emotions and experiences of many years ago.
The following photo gives me joy. I am sure you have a photo of a pet or baby or scene that gives you much the same feeling.
Have you ever written poetry?
Today's quote:
Make a habit out of celebrating the small moments in healing, gratitude, and growth. |

...neat poem!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteLove your poem. The Google-doodle is cute. Love the Azalea and the Iris! Take care, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteThank you, a day to share my joy with you!
DeleteLove reading your poem. Pretty flowers too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I tucked it away somewhere, and recently found it again. Decided why not share simple joys.
DeleteI wrote a few love poems back in uni and one somewhat similar one later when I was teaching a writer's course.
ReplyDeleteTHat's great. I would imagine you could write sonnets.
DeleteThat is a beautiful iris, and I like that poem.
ReplyDeleteI have written some poems, but have not written one for quite some time.
My cat I have at home makes me happy, but there are times she can be a real pain in the neck!
That kitten is so cute!
So glad you enjoyed the iris and the poem, and the cute kitten. Maybe the poetry muse will come your way again.
DeleteYour poem is very evocative, Barb. I do write poetry and have had a few pieces published but am in a lull right now.
ReplyDeleteMy first iris opened very early; the others are beginning now.
Oh that's great to hear you are a published poet! I would love to read some of your poems...hint hint.
DeleteNice poem, I like it. I've written a few about 15 years ago now.
ReplyDeleteThanks, and I am interested in your written creativity as well!
DeleteLovely blooms.
ReplyDeleteThanks William...I'm glad your short comment was admitted by the spam police...most short comments have been shuffled off to spam-dom. Including my own replies, if I just say, thank you.
DeleteVery nice poem and observation!
