Today I might...

Today I might

Listen to music

I might

Laugh

Long and loud.

I might dance

With my daughter

Cuddle with a cat

Or maybe

I might

Talk with a friend.

Or tip tap on computer keys.

I might

Stay silent

Being still

Listen..

Birds sing

Steps sound

I breathe.

Many things I might do

This day…

I might…

I could…

Now begin.


This is an entry for One Shot Wednesday and 6 Word Friday!  Enjoy and share in the fun. 

Suddenly Spring - Tanka

March enter softly,

Sapphire blue, crisp, clean and bright

Washed clean, Sun shine dried

Overnight, flowers burst forth

Spring teases, Nearly close enough to touch

March begins and it is time for a One Shot Wednesday!

Friday Afternoon Moment of Bliss

Fingers touch

Foil unwrap

MMMM

Chocolate!

Short and Sweet One Shot

Touch

Hands, Fingers

Smoothing, Playing, Caressing

Promising, anticipating possibilities

Awakening

A Short but Sweet One Shot for this busy January day.

Child of All Seasons

Diamonds grace her head

Jewels from the sky.

My summer sprite turns to winter princess

Before my very eyes.

Cloaked in powder blue

She is the ice upon the lake.

She is giggles and laughter and candlelit nights,

Snowmen, igloos, and snow cream shakes.

She slides upon the ice

While I struggle to stand still.

She delightfully cries “snow!"

I pull the duvet as far as it will.

Snow boots replace sandals

Wool hats cover pony tails.

Icy winds pull and push and tease

Sending  child and flakes to swirl.

In spring she blooms with flowers

Summer she is butterfly  performing tango with the bees.

Autumn she shimmers in vivid  jewel tones,

Winter brings its own sparkle, like the crystals of icicles and bejeweled trees.

Every season she embraces

This elf that shares my heart.

One with nature

Finding its treasures,

This brilliant star with a passionate spark.

Join in the fun at One Shot Wednesday!

Everyone is... Gifted

Gifted

Talented, Beautiful

Creating, Thinking, Sharing

A spark within each. 

Love

“Am I gifted?”

It’s 6 Word Friday!

Any Day at the Office

Amidst the abundance I sit

Books, Binders, Boxes, Business

Colorful artwork splashed on bulletin boards

Door partially closed

Eyes fixed to computer screen

Fingers fly across the keyboard

Getting the job done (and a few other things) with grace

Helter-skelter, thoughts wiz

Imagination tickling, aching for attention

Jen on the phone reminding me to laugh

Kid, contracts, emotions, schedules

Lunches, meetings, teleconferences, trainings, e-mail

Minutes into hours into days

NPR – my office mate with opinions, stories, and always something to say

Organization of the out of order variety

Pens, Pencils, Papers, Pins, Proposals, Possibilities

Quality Assurance and Quick Responses

Reports due or in process rein supreme

Sun shines out there… somewhere… possibly?

Tomorrow more of the same

Unless creativity is sparked

Visits from the muse, unexpected e-mail or phone calls

Weekend Countdown in process – 5 days, 4 days to go...

X-citing news, X-hausting project, X-amining the information provided

Yes I can, Yes you will have it, Yes it is possible

Zipping closed, shutting down, locking door – Until tomorrow.

 It's week 23 at One Shot Wednesday!
