Popcorn Prayers

April is National Poetry Month I’m celebrating by writing for kids this month! Hope you enjoy my Kid’s Poetry Protegé Project Children’s voices praying; praying for their needs openly… little sister has leukemia, my cat Duke died today, new baby brother is coming, mommy and daddy stays together, for my daddy to come to church, [...]

Sustained

The first crisp snow, I tramp the glistening trail to no avail . . . small steps as shadows grow, silhouette of darken timbers. These steps I walk . . . through spotted pine listening to memories talk, quicken pace from another time, sauntering sorrow slumbers. I feel the coldness of earth, as winter settles [...]

Season of Loss

As autumn tosses its head fling flip flick is my life hung in a tangled mess or resting in the tender arms of Jesus Christ? Sun rises later as color speckles streaks splashes against a new day; though death still visits a loved one gone. Loss has no season… Happy times have vanished mislaid misplaced [...]

His Face

Summer fades to chilly autumn blaze; sadness sorrow shame lingers into life’s hollow empty places. Spaces only God fills during loss; aching agony anguish, I hear, “He’s not a loving God”; It’s then I see blood trailing crimson clammy cutting mingled with sweat; His abandon heart all have left… The prose below was taken from [...]

The Reunion

The Reunion In the stillness of night, between layers of darkness the daylight comes… Bright Brilliant Beautiful Flowers tall, as swaying trees, lavender, rose, magenta, indigo blowing lazily in the breeze, bees the size of children’s hands, butterfly wings applauding, birds in hues rainbow colors; all surrounding a grand court-yard where they are gathered, loved [...]

Daddy’s Rose

Daddy’s Rose Daddy it’s been a decade, as decades go, I walk down memory lane before the sun rises. The rose petals linger in the morning light. Memories bloom of so long ago, when life was sparse, laughter lingered, and love hidden; in what is now called a traditional family. One you never had at [...]

Darkness

  My Timmy His name was Timmy… A docile babe frail, fragile, flimsy; a syndrome he had I’ve forgotten its name, but its affects have scarred; left their lifetime impressions.   His name was Timmy… I’m not talking choice we had no choice, but if we did, we would have endured again; as a wild [...]

The Dieing

The Dieing I’m dieing, but please talk to me I live life daily as ripples in the sea. Don’t shun me because death lingers near my door; the sun rises just as yours and the grass continues to grow. I’m no different than yesterday. Let’s talk baseball, heard the Brewers won another one; let’s talk [...]

Sustained

Sustained The first crisp snow, I tramp the glistening trail to no avail; small steps as shadows grow silhouette of darken timbers. These steps I walk through spotted pine listening to memories talk; quicken pace from another time, sauntering sorrow slumbers. I feel the coldness of earth, as winter settles in my heart pondering heaven’s [...]

Towers Fall

Towers Fall Like ancient Babylon of long ago man assembles, builds, construct, erects; as he persist to fabricate his holy walls.   Perhaps, this infectious brainstorm began as the Creator transformed then new life fostered in fruitful form?   Children build bulky blocks high; toppling towers from nearly empty sky, with a punting kick brings [...]
