Poems, Notes, Reaching Up

A child grows beyond
The imagination of
A parent, success.

*******

Don’t blame the rain
For the renewed tears and pain,
It is the season.

*******

The song is a balm
Making this life bearable,
Keep the music on.

*******

If I held your heart
Would you let my love remain
Despite everything,
I am beset with fears, failures,
But my heart is true to you.

*******

Prompt: Create something or a series of things that are short but complete. There are no rules, except anything is acceptable. Do not try to be perfect; it is impossible; be talent on display.

Free Standing

Never give in, up,
To fade away, all die down,
Endeavor to share
The things found until changes
Hold fear no longer, but fly.

Love is the reason
No one can stoop low to die;
Life becomes complete.

As a prompt: Create work that might motivate someone who needs encouragement. What you do might help inspire beauty and wonder.

Love, The Pieces

Love from the moment
Conceived within willing hearts,
Gentle, open minds,
Does forever then abide
Can never lose itself, die.
People sometimes part
But compassion, tenderness,
Somewhat may remain
No one touched by love, passion,
Is consigned to dungeon depths.
If only in dreams
Occasionally the soul
Will court memory
So pain is brief forgotten,
With ecstasy begotten.
Love is eternal,
It deserves respect, guarding,
An utmost treasure,
Lives creating paradise
Together despite tough years.
Love from the moment
Conceived within willing hearts,
Gentle, open minds,
Does forever then abide
Can never lose itself, die.

The light takes us from shadows to the illuminated world, LOVE, creativity’s source, and so much more.

Diversity Enriches Normality

Whatever could it
Be, coming such great surprise,
From lands far away
To please fancy fantasy,
Developed in happy times?
The container gives
No clue but from whence it came,
And useless guessing
For almost anything might
Signify the producer.
Jewelry, toys, clothes,
At affordable prices,
Tools, appliances,
Fill needs temporarily
Providing a range of choice.
Without such shipping
Many would go without items,
Enriching bare days
Of impoverishment, lack,
Better being than nothing.

As a prompt, take a photograph or create a visual work of art and write something relating to your image or artwork.

A 365 Creativity Project seems daunting initially, and even later, there are times quitting might be more manageable. I did this before with a sizable increase in my creative output than if I did not commit to it. 2020 was a good year in this regard. If you want to produce more work, I recommend building an achievable goal and holding yourself to it.

I am grateful:

I have electronic devices.
It was a dry day.
Sam’s Club cooks chicken.
Music lifts spirits and inspires.
Clothes protect and conceal us.

I am still working on the site, watch out for the yellow tape.

Coming To Love, Life

Laying rhythm down
A beating heart encased in
Nature’s creation
God’s gift the animation,
Spirit, soul, imagination.
Endowed with talent
Passion, creativity
Living fantasy
Placing love before, behind,
Grace provides mercy needed.
Recognizing who
Becomes a sweet diversion,
Painting lightning with
Touch scoring the open heart
Marked, to belong henceforth.
Pleasing songs, apt words
Recited in perfect timing
Adventure calling
Love the meaning, need, being,
Defining every moment.

Prompt: What do you most desire in the coming year? State your intention; however you choose.

We begin new again. Thank you for visiting Haphazard Creative. Please follow the site or return as time allows. Comments are welcome and desired.
