2022 Creativity Project – March 16

Rising In Time

Sometimes life pummels us
Others it is best of friends
A reason to keep going when
Tension weighs enough to bend
The ideas of purpose, worth – thin.
Struggle on the river
Leaves hearts, souls, a quiver
Bodies in frigid winds shiver
Fragile warmth, conversation titters
As hope alights, the sweet giver.
Love assays each situation
Making experience an equation
Depositing delight by multiplication
All goodness finds attribution
In Christ’s generous contribution.

Prompt: Use rhyme or repetitive symbology in a work of creativity.

Edge Refined (Ukraine)

Music, the heart of
All we belong ever to
Be, now, futurity.
A blessing given us each
For oceans, smiles, trees, outreach.
Love, a dream, elemental,
Fogging into simple clarity
Samples stolen to taste –
Teaching capitalism with need,
Democracy allows means.
Freedom, chosen couple,
Traveling hand in hand, knowing
Life, a treasure together,
Seeking harmony to continue
Home, dreams, love – now, forever.

Dropt

I dropped a huge
Blob of mustard spreading on
My cartoon tee-shirt
I should have outgrown such things,
But does one ever?

There is a place where
I know, whenever I go,
Whatever I wear,
The food is so delicious
I bathe my clothes in its taste.

They feed everyone
So well, no one complains of
The trials in cleaning
But be advised, not your best,
Or beloved or brand new;

The barbeque is
Country, fantastic, filling,
Hudson’s Barbeque
Beats the rest in every test
But from stains does not refrain.

Mustard today here
In my kitchen got me fond
Thinking, so alright
Dribbles are not all awful,
When memory arises.

Places, Ease

The can dropped, rings
Like the closing bell clanging
On another day
Trading coffee tomorrows
For biscuits, bacon, today.
A quadruped walks
Head high, tail, intense sniffing
Finds it is worthwhile
To traipse roundabout more
Or occupy cushions, lured.
Neurons dream special
Cause to gamble on a chance
Presenting as words
Flowing across lighted screen
Deep satisfaction in being.

Prompt
Juxtapose some ordinary things making them into creation.

2022 Creativity Project – March 9

Triple Tanka
1
Time, a volcano,
Turning elements into flame
Hearts afire again;
If only for one moment
Caught before returning rain.
2
Say we are raveled
Though spun with sincerest care
Hard use it spoils, tears,
Loving cannot erase; its
Pardons, though, it quickly makes.
3
Birthday remembered
Though effort made to take
It from memory,
There is that second I wish
Myself wherever you are.

I finished another book today. I am behind; I have read only nine this year. Long ones, though, some would say that makes no matter. They would agree with me. Still, I think it explains.

I am thankful I got the fiberfill the dog scatters off the carpet, sweeping. I also washed three loads of clothes and a dishwasher full of dishes. I would I felt more energetic. I am lying down as I write this.

Yes, I know you do not have to know, but I am challenged; maybe you are too. Perhaps we should more often celebrate progress.

Prompt
Progress can be anything that is completed which includes challenge or not. Create a piece celebrating progress.
