Stretch Status Quo


This is my attempt at the form called double exposure.

Stretch
Status Quo

          I feel the need to stretch, the time is right.
I am happy to call the park my home.
         The changes I want are not yet in sight.
It offers me plenty of space to roam.

         How different do I want things to be?
I see friends and family everywhere.

Patience is important, I'll wait and see.
It is a comfort to know they are there.
Opportunities will show up in time.
I have my favorite places to eat.
I'll have to choose which ones seem to be prime.
I find standard fare and some special treats.
I don't know how far my reach will extend,
There are many spaces on which to rest.
if it will be far enough in the end.
Cool grass is nice, but warm rocks are the best.
Soon, there will be no reason to delay.
The lake may be still or choppy and rough.
I will decide which day will be the day.
I move to its rhythm, that's good enough.
I'll make my choices and give it my all.
I've thought about change, but why should I go?
Whatever the result, I will stand tall.
I'm content to live with the status quo.

Edge of the Water


 Edge of the Water

Robin
goes bobbin' by
the edge of the water.
Satisfies its needs then heads to
the trees.

This form is a cinquain.

Different Ways

Different Ways

I watch the phlox
as its petals unfold.
The coneflower grows
a center first then petals
sprout all around it.
The white of the
daisy's petals are visible.
They stand up and
reveal the center.
Different ways,
the same result-
a beautiful flower.

Good to See You


 Good to See You

Welcome! I am so happy to see you.
Who knew how long it would be?
Once blue, now I'm filled with glee.

This is a Welsh form called Englyn Penfyr.

Your Time

 

Your Time 

This is your time to
bask in the light.
Show off your colors,
your texture, your depth
before the sun sets.

Daydreams

 

Daydreams

I move in rhythm
with the waves. Cares float away.
All my daydreams rock.

Throw Shade


Throw Shade

The day is bright.
I sit in the light.

Soon darkness falls
on some but not all. 

The sun isn't afraid
to throw a little shade.

Keep Moving Forward


 

Keep Moving Forward

Walk or fly.
Take small steps
or long glides.
You might slip,
hit a headwind.
Slowdown or take
a break then
keep moving forward.

Not an Easy choice


Not an Easy Choice

This is not an easy choice.
I must concentrate on every detail.
Nothing can get by me.
But, numbers on the clock
change, a reminder it's time
to make up my mind.
