The more side roads you stop to explore, the less likely that life will pass you by. ~Robert Brault, American writer
It’s time for a break
Things to do, people to see
I will return soon
Note: Poetry form is Haiku. I’ll be hunkering low with the Monk as Scary Boom-Boom Day (July Fourth) approaches. My daylilies are finally blooming — and aren’t they cheerful? Everybody have a safe and happy Fourth — see you soon!
Most of us, in all conditions, are weighted down with superfluities or worried to acquire them. ~Charles Dudley Warner, American essayist and novelist
Can’t you see yourself
Curled up on this seat?
Nestled ‘neath the trees
Away from the noisy street?
Can’t you feel the wind
Gently caressing your face?
Playing with your hair?
Slowing your hectic pace?
Can’t you hear the quiet
As peace envelopes you,
Casts aside your burdens,
Bestows a calmer view?
Our lives are often fraught
With too much activity.
Time to take a needed break,
Nurture my creativity.
Note: Happy Labor Day! I’m taking a short break and will be back soon.
Son, you outgrew my lap, but never my heart. ~Author unknown
Gee, I miss this kid!!!
It’s been many months
Since Domer came to visit.
Time for a blog break!
Note: I’ll be back shortly!
Webs.
Silent
Like dew drops
Dotting my bush
And letting me know
The spiders were busy
During the night as I slept
Creating works that would rival
Some pieces that are in museums.
Silken treasures that speak softly of Fall.
Note: This poetic form is an Etheree, a 10-line poem that starts with one syllable and adds a syllable in each succeeding line until there’s a total of 55 syllables. It can go from one to ten or in reverse from ten down to one, or can even double up and down both ways. I had to challenge myself to write one since my friend Linda writes some beauties!
P.S. My son Domer will be home next week, so I’ll be playing hooky from the blog. I’ll try to catch up with all of you when I return. Don’t start October without me!
