Flutter
Beautiful wings
Gently kiss the flowers
Paint the world in vivid colors
Dawn breaks
Touch the dewdrops on the petals
Brighten up the garden
Golden sunrise
Rainbow
Response to Jane Dougherty’s Poetry Challenge #8: write a butterfly cinquain, a nine-line poem with a 2-4-6-8-2-8-6-4-2 syllable pattern (thus resembling a butterfly). Yes, I know the poem doesn’t have to be about an actual butterfly, but the theme was too fitting to resist. I hope you enjoyed my poem! Thanks for the challenge, Jane!

Feel
My heart
Beating fast
For you, my love,
When I touch
Your warm
Hands
My response to Jane Dougherty’s poetry challenge: to write a sept (seven-line poem in a 1-2-3-4-3-2-1 syllable pattern) with the theme “hands”. Better late than never, right? Thanks for the prompt, Jane!

I’m thankful for my loving family,
Whose guidance always helped me find my way.
Their patience and support have nurtured me
Into the person I’ve become today.
I’m thankful for the man I call my love,
Who fills my days with laughter and with bliss.
With him, I find a love sent from above
In every warm embrace and tender kiss.
I’m thankful for the stories I have read
That sparked my passion for the written word.
Into the world of books I’ve often fled,
And now at last my writer’s voice is heard.
To those I love, thank you for everything.
God bless you all, and Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to all my family, friends, and readers! May you all have a blessed weekend!

Hear the silence in the streets,
Feel the sorrow in the air
In the chilling aftermath
Of the night of terror
That left the world in shock.
See the world shine bright
In blue, white and red.
Let them know we are united
As we support our allies
In this tragic time for humanity.
France, we stand with you now
In this solemn hour.
Against hate and violence,
In the name of love and peace,
Nous sommes unis.
Wrote this poem shortly after the attacks in Paris on November 13. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims of the tragedy. May love always triumph over hate. We stand with you, France. #NousSommesUnis

Violence and danger, they faced
Every day as they defended their homeland.
True of heart and strong of spirit, they stand for
Every citizen and the fight for the
Right to freedom and opportunity.
America’s brave heroes, thank you!
Never will we forget your invaluable
Service to our country!
Thank you to our troops for your never-ending service to our beloved nation! Happy (belated) Veterans Day! May you all have a blessed weekend!
