61/100 Thanksgiving Poem

Lord Thank You For… 

My husband of thirty –eight years

My daughter who looks like me

My son, tall and strong

The two who enrich my life as I care for them

My four sisters and a plethora of memories

Friends who listen

Cheerful music of any kind

Cool water, hot feet and Shannon Creek

The ways Pennsylvania hills seem to green up all at once

Colorado aspen trees shimmering in a golden dance

The cricket song in the evenings

Huge impressive boulders reminding me of hope in You

Chicken and Grandma’s Noodles, steak and baked potatoes

Cheesecake and blueberries, Kathy’s lasagna

Corn on the cob, snow peas and freshly-picked tomatoes

My laptop, the internet and Facebook friends

Watching words become something unique

Scrabble, Canasta and crocheting

Hiking, swimming and kayaking

Roller skating, tennis and basketball

Good movies like Life is Beautiful, Fly Away Home Kuch Kuch Hota Hei

Favorite Books like Chronicles of Narnia, The Secret Garden, Monster, Perfect Strangers

Singing, Worshipping, and Dancing
All the wonderful colors that paint my soul
Thank You Lord for all the people and things I love and enjoy

60/100 Poetic Bloomings favorite food

Country Meal 

Turkey, quail, pheasant,

venison, rabbit or even squirrel from our woods,

or trout from the creek just past Pappap’s

as the main dish.

Potatoes, corn, tomatoes, lettuce, onions,

cucumbers, green beans, yellow squash

from our garden as the sides.  

Elderberries, grapes, Siberian crabapples,

rhubarb, blueberries and blackberries,

walnuts, hickory and hazel nuts

picked right out of our yard to make

homemade jams and jellies,

cookies, cobblers and pies for dessert. 

Nothing like a fresh country meal.

 

 

59/100 days of summer

Flavorful food all around

Calories add up like pennies

Spend wisely

58 days of summer

Comfort Food 

Let’s hear it for comfort food

The better it is, the faster it’s chewed 

Loaded with sugar, deliciously sweet

Fills the bill when you earn a treat 

Satiny caramels, sweet and chewy

Ice cream and toppings, thick and gooey  

Peanut brittle, thick and crunchy

Potato chips, light and munchy 

Puddings and cakes , extremely yummy

Chocolate chip cookies fill the tummy 

Strawberry pie, gotta try it

For tomorrow begins the diet

Enchanted

I do not make no bake

chocolate peanut butter oatmeal cookies,

because they are like the White Witch’s

Turkish Delight from Narnia,

so enchanted, you’d eat yourself into oblivion.

So I do not make no bake

chocolate peanut butter oatmeal cookies.

 I may have gained a pound just thinking about them.

Writing Day 

My computer’s  calling, I feel like bawling

I’d like to go on a trip

To stick to my vocation, I need some motivation

This  day, I’d like to skip

The stories need writing, should be exciting

But I just want to play

My readers are waiting, anticipating
Or maybe stay in bed all day 

 I’ll stick these words together, though they could sound better

My hubby’s soon coming home
What did you write today, he will probably say
Well, at least, I wrote a poem

55/100

Jesus didn’t come to condemn,

but to save.

It is not mine to judge,

but to love.

The Holy Spirit convicts,

I don’t.

So Lord, help me love

and not try to take over

 the Holy Spirit’s job.
