Thank you, Idaho, for all you give:
Potatoes keeping tummies full.
So versatile and tasty,
And they last a long time.
Boiled, baked, fried or grilled…
Fruit of the Earth,
Potatoes,
I love
You!

#LyrePoemTanka #3 Unicorns
Magic unicorns
Are they real or fantasy?
Better to believe.
Let the children imagine,
And follow your dreaming heart!
Lyre: 16-string solid body
Tuning: C Major pentatonic (tune in C, then lower all F strings to E, and raise all B strings to C)
#LyrePoem Cinquain #2 Dreams
Moonlight
Dances softly
Inviting me to play
And so I ask the Moon if dreams
Come true…
#LyrePoem Triolet #2 Boat Ride
Take comfort in the rocking boat.
Relax and leave the land behind.
Your mind and body gently float;
Take comfort in the rocking boat.
And in this moment, make a note,
While savoring the peace you find.
Take comfort in the rocking boat.
Relax and leave the land behind.
#LyrePoem Haiku #2
Birds are returning
Building nests and laying eggs
Singing songs of Spring
#LyrePoem Rondelet #1 Strength
The strength I need
Is hard to come by many days.
The strength I need…
I call and call; it will not heed.
And when it comes, it doesn’t stay.
If only I could somehow save
The strength I need!
#LyrePoem Limerick #2 Lyres
Loving comfort is wrapped in the sound.
Young and elderly all gather round.
Radiant when it rings,
Ev’ry note, ev’ry string.
Simple beauty and magic profound!
Note: You may have noticed that this poem is an Acrostic as well as a Limerick.
#LyrePoem Nonet #1 Choosing You
There are people who can’t stand to see
That you are happy and fulfilled!
Living with them is the worst,
But don’t let them hurt you.
Stay on your journey;
Maintain your joy!
Live your life…
Choosing
YOU!
#LyrePoem Tanka #2 Peace
Peace whispers softly
In between the waves and storms
Changing sea of life
Take courage in your struggles
Nature thrives! And so do you!
#LyrePoem Cake Hack
Grab gelatin or pudding too,
And just one extra egg improves.
In place of water, try some milk
To make the batter smooth as silk.
Use melted butter, not the oil,
And smile at everyone you foil!
A box of cake mix? Wow! Who knew?
There’s some to share… Or all for you!
