Spring Snow Blizzard in Austerlitz, NY

Spring Snow Blizzard in Austerlitz, NY

Waterproof
playboy
scanning for ice, flakes,
ATV, treads, mates, alpine
dogs, drinking snow, howling, peeing hot on ice mounds.

( Is this a FIB?)

Riddle#3

Jeanne's Red Hair

Jeanne’s Red Hair

Sparkle
on top:
glittering shades
of red, garnet, flame and
fire-engine screams, follicles reaching out;
a crown of royal antiquity, knowing youth, middle and old age.

(Did I get the FIB right this time?)

I love
the green leaves

inspired me with her FIB; here is her outline on how to write one.
This poem is a Fib. A syllabic poem based on Fibonacci’s number, each line length is the sum of the two previous lines. So the poem has 1 syllable, 1 syllable, 2 syllables, 3 syllables, 5 syllables, 8 syllables and I made this go to 13 syllables. If you are viewing this poem on your cell phone many of the lines wrap so you are missing the beauty of the Fib form. Does this chart make it easier to see the formatting?

Line 1 = 1 syllable
Line 2 = 1 syllables
Line 3 = 2 syllables
Line 4 = 3 syllables
Line 5 = 5 syllables
Line 6 = 8 syllables
Line 7 = 13 syllables

Your challenge for today is to try writing your own Fib. Try making it 5 or 6 lines long. Have fun. Do find some time to go outside and play today.

Monkey

I swing by the tail
over muddy water.
Slurps quench my thirst.
Who is it
I see
mimicking me?

Bread of Angels, refresh me!

Grass inherited

Grace through the generations

“I am His Father and He is my Son…Let all the angels of God worship Him…Angels swift as the wind; servants made of flaming fire.” (Hebrews 1:5)

From God, to Mother to Son
The Spirit Messengers fly;
Flaming fire to cleanse,
Protect the chosen from high

The Spirit Messengers fly;
Swift as the wind
To those who sinned.

Flaming fire to cleanse,
Refresh with grace
Face to face!

Protect the chosen from high
The Father ministers
To earth’s youngsters.

Succor the Breast Milk

-breastfeeding-of-newborn.jpg

As a baby cries for milk, cry for salvation. 1 Peter 2:1-3

Newborn:
drink
forgiveness
honesty
contentment
openness.

Let go the afterbirth:
hatred
pretense
jealousy
talking behind peoples’ backs.

Cry for grace.
Thrive!

Become Your Father

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist after one grows up.”
Pablo Picasso
1 Peter 1:24:
“All our greatness is like a flower that droops and falls; but the Word of the Lord will last forever: Jesus, the Living Christ!”

Look within
Locate your light!
Nurture it!

Create!
Inquire!
Ponder!

When you fade
Open the portal
To eternity

Your Father
Brother
Soul song!

Vernal Equinox

Lonely in the vastness?

Rotate round renew!
Faith unfolds
To hold you fast:
Magnetic field of daisy arms.

Lonely in the field?

Face the sun;
Drink the rays,
Yellow to green
To violet light:
Spirits joined!

Lonely ’til you pray!

Living Stones

geode

1Peter 2:5-6, 9-10
(living stones building his house; holy priests who listen to God’s Word and obey; Once you were less than nothing; now you are God’s own. Your life has been changed by God’s kindness.)

Does the pearl form without stress?
Does the crystal without pressure?
You are plucked out of darkness
Made holy with the light.
Your core is molten,
In fusion with life:
LIVING STONES.

Foundations of holiness.
Priests of sacrifice
Who listen and obey.
Drowned and rescued.
Asleep and inspired.
Shaken and fortified.
LIVING STONES!

“Can Jesus come out to play?

God as Father

1Peter1:3-4
“Can Jesus come out to play” I say.
His mother points up: “He’s praying to God;
He calls Him His Father, His Day Spring, and God
With us, Mighty One, Morning Star, Prince of Peace.”

“I’ve brought my reverence, my honor and trust;
May I join in the bowing, surrender and awe?”
“Of course” answers Mary, “and then you can play;
You’re children alike, made to worship and stay

In His arms,
through rough times
and ahead to the JOY:
to His gift:
ETERNITY!”
