I have been writing daily from an A-Z list of “What Makes Me Happy.” I already shared

A= Antelope, B = Birthdays, and C=Christmas. Today should have been a day for “D”, but

Alphabet Haiku Challenge ~ P

by Abigail Gronway

we were asked to use “P” as the letter and write an Alphabet Haiku. As you know, Haiku is a poetry form of three lines with the syllabic count of 5, 7, 5. An alphabet Haiku follows that pattern, but every word in the poem must begin with the same letter. That’s a challenge!

So, I am skipping ahead to the letter P to participate in the Alphabet Haiku Challenge.

Of course, as you might guess, PUPPIES make me happy!

Fires

California is on fire.
Montana is burning now.
Firefighters are trying
To save this land somehow.

Friends are on alert –
Their belongings packed to go –
To move if necessary.
Move where? Some just don’t know.

We’re here to lend a hand,
But our resources are so slim.
We need the help of rain.
We must simply rely on Him.

No man can can tame the flames
That burn without regard
For whose life is damaged –
Who has lost their home and yard.

No man can stop the spreading
Without help from God above.
But here, at home in comfort,
I can offer hope and love.

I can pray for the firefighters.
I can offer food and shelter,
But I can’t stop the flames,
Nor tame the heat – the swelter!

Lord of Life and All Creation,
Please send us relief in rain.
Take away death and destruction,
And make us beautiful again.

 

Amen?

Sleepless in Ennis

Sigh!

Soon enough the sun will dawn

And I’ll greet the early morn

With a shiver and a yawn

Wondering why when I was born

I could sleep like a baby, but not

Now.
