To welcome winterβs stunning coat,
Autumn sheds its golden layers
Gorgeous hues evoke emotions
Enticing with their pleasing flavors

Have you wished to fly
in the big blue sky,
soaring with angels near
and feathered friends so dear?
Think how incredible to swim
in the ocean on a whim,
with a chummy dolphin
and the biggest grin
Imagine strolling in a meadow
with a butterfly show
or tiptoeing amongst the stars
to the music of guitars
Lend an ear to what I propose
Close your eyes, twinkle your nose
Cross your arms, blink three times
Twirl around, youβll hear the chimes

(I thought a smile would be welcomed
to end the week. This is revised from
several years ago, and I’m wishing you a
fabulous Friday and weekend!)

Let us view
Christmas through the eyes
of children –
the magic
the wonder of the season
pure joy, love, and hope

Wishing you a blessed holiday season β€
back then where
wanting to be a
grownup was
a big dream
but responsibilities
have lost their appeal
pigtails, and
imagination,
excitement
of riding
without training wheels – oh, the
innocence of youth

This is my last Shadorma for Eliot’s November Shadorma challenge, so I thought to end with a fun topic. π Hope you enjoy! β€
Constants from
the circle of life
deathβs timing
birthβs lighting
new seeds bearing sanguine hues
consolation prize

when vowels
and consonants join
forces, they
create a
magnetic effect so strong
grips will not loosen
their union
paints a gold sunrise
yet, they have
what it takes
to produce sharp, knife-like pain
be mindful of both

in the midst
of shattered pieces
lies one that
exudes the
slightest hint of a sparkle
needing tender care

Today is
for celebrating
our blessings
with friends and
family near or far, with
laughter and good food
but this day
isnβt the only
time to show
gratitude
each sunrise provides a new
opportunity
