Repurposed!

 

Repurposed!

repurposed decor 

every ornament made over

plaid and burlap by the yard 

underneath: former years’ baubles 

realizing new life now – discarded 

potpourri and wreaths adorning 

ornaments preserving 

sentiments of time 

even as trends change – 

decor repurposed

Christmas Tree

 

Christmas Tree

Crafting new decor 

Modern farmhouse Christmas tree

Ornaments of plaid 

Black and white tree skirt

Greenery and bows adorn

Mother would be proud!

Wanderlust

 

Wanderlust 

Wanderlust subsides

Once we recognize our own

Home field advantage 


Weary travelers

Used to be those other folks

Now I’ve joined those ranks 


Country roads of home

Hay meadows and rolling hills

Are where I belong

Permeating Moments

 

Permeating Moments 

straightening my hair 

five syllables, voice to text 
maximizing time
car: prayer chamber
praying my way in to work 
radio turned off 
permeating life
with what is most important 
~moments that matter~

Timeless Classics

 From Margaret Simon’s prompt This Picture Wants to Be a Poem 

Timeless Classics

find the doorway 
to the secret garden 
of timeless classics 
warm memories of velveteen 
harrowing McGregors 
and Cinderella carriages 
unlocked with a skeleton key

November Acrostic

 November Acrostic 

Needing connection, togetherness high On social gatherings we truly depend Visiting over coffee and pie

Eating too much….again and again
Making a kite – and watching it fly
Being grateful for family and friends Everyone joyful, wondering why 
Regular visits our schedules don’t lend

November Haiku


November Haiku

Welcome, November!

Bring on the thankful spirits,
heartfelt gratitude.
Families gather.
Bring as we visit and feast
peace and forgiveness.
November, remind 
us to grant mercy, grace to
others and ourselves.
Help us to serve and 
give, to be beacons of light
modeling your love.
