“The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God. As the Scriptures say, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and discard the intelligence of the intelligent.””

1 Corinthians 1:18-19 NLT

Time and Laughter #Tanka

There is a time for

Everything under the sun

Laughter and crying

Giggles and joyful tears flow

Making lovely memories

This week Colleen’s prompt words brought to mind Ecclesiastes chapter 3. They also made me think of the things, events, that go into those times. 

#Haiku Challenge Breathe and New

Crisp, fresh autumn air

Inhaling the seasons change 

Stirs old memories

I substituted “inhaling” and “fresh” for the given prompt words. 

#Haiku Horizons Challenge – Row

From spring through winter

A natural progression

Adjusting seasons

I replaced “row” with “progression” for this challenge. 

Celebrate and Watch #Tanka

Crispness in the air 

Telltale sign of change is here 

Loved ones gathering 

Celebrating together 

Watching holiday countdown

Inspired by Colleen’s weekly Tanka challenge.

Water #Haiku

water splashes on 

singing the song of nature 

the life blood of all

Linked to the prompt “music” from Poets on the Page. 

Chapel and Autumn #Tanka

Browsing my blog feed I found a few tanka this week that were beautifully written for the prompt words autumn and chapel. Though I haven’t participated in this new-to-me challenge, the words inspired me to give it a go.

autumn colors peak
horizon’s vivid splendor
behind the chapel
old oak tree reaches upward
touching Heaven so slightly

Life’s Pace #Haiku

Life is a journey
Too many race their way through
Slow the pace enjoy

Linked to Ronovan’s weekly haiku prompt.

Trick #Haiku

The weather has been abnormally warm here of late. I image that will change soon enough.

Summer like weather
Warm sunny cloud free skies
Trick us – cold comes soon

Haiku Horizons weekly prompt seemed very appropriated given the above – and that Trick or Treat just passed! 🙂
