I eat gourmet
Cookies, saving
The pretty tins
To store my flutes,
Chimes, and crystals.
How many new
Kinds can I try?
Crystals, chimes, flutes,
Tins, and tasty
Gourmet cookies!
I offer you
The same big chance!
Collect them all!
And enjoy your
Cookie Caper!

A time for rest it’s time to take,
To ground in oneness with the ground.
Connections reconnected, found.
Awaken now, and be awake!
Meet all your needs for meeting’s sake,
And listen with a listening ear
To heart-felt breath and heartbeat clear.
Be mindful of your Mind inside,
The thinking thoughts that make your life;
With inner wisdom, wisely hear.

Ronovan Writes Décima Poetry Challenge Prompt No. 55: (GROUND) in the B rhyme line.
The instruments are double strung harp, Rhythm Rock shaker, and alto recorder.
Valentine’s Day is more than romance
With chocolate kisses wrapped in foil.
It’s a heart-felt, heart-shaped note,
An unexpected gift
Of faithful friendship
Deeply touching.
Carnations
Fragrant
Pink!

The earth again awakes to thrive,
For Winter’s frozen chill is gone.
As constant cycles move along,
With every breath we’re more alive!
Awakening with stirring life,
O may our minds renew as well!
Discarding limits, hatred, hell!
Though Heaven is no place on earth,
Within us from before our birth
Is Spirit’s resurrecting spell!
Ronovan Writes Décima Poetry Challenge Prompt No. 54: (BIRTH) in the D rhyme line.
“Ignorance is bliss!”
“What they don’t know, can’t hurt them!”
Lies are illusions.
We lie to reduce conflict,
But only reduce ourselves…
Thrilling with sadness
Unnaturally cruel
What a “human” trait!
Ronovan Writes #Weekly #Haiku #Poetry Prompt #Challenge 355 SAD and Thrill.
I don’t fear Elsewhere.
But from never-ending now,
I beg a reprieve!
I continue to evolve;
In time the results will show!
I need a place to share my heart
With all its parts,
Where safety frees
Anxieties!
Where others speak within their turn
And no one burns
With swallowed words
That go unheard!
Where everyone is valued so,
And this they know!
Encouraged well
To leave their shell!

A Minute Poem written for MLMM Lucky Dip:
“Look, Mom! No hands!”
I rode my bike with abandon.
And suddenly it became a horse,
My faithful steed,
Transporting me from the world where I lived
To the world where I wanted to live…
To a world without limits,
Free of judgments and pain—
A world of love
And possibility!
My trusty steed is gone,
A too small bike discarded.
But I still hold the magic
In my mind
And heart!

O let us dance and let us sing
In praise of beauty that is Spring!
As flowers bloom and songbirds sing,
There’s brand new life in everything!
We’re not exempt; we’re not left out
Of all the giving Spring’s about!
We can transform, without a doubt:
Just look within and let it out!
Let in the new! The old, release.
Let go of fear, allowing peace.
In harmony replace dis-ease
And safety calm anxieties.
We’re not alone—we have a guide,
The voice of wisdom deep inside,
The One who our true needs provides
And gives us heartbeat, breath and life!
So let us dance and let us sing
In praise of beauty that is Spring!
As flowers bloom and songbirds sing,
There’s brand new life in everything!

Written for Eugi’s Weekly Prompt, Dance:
https://amanpan.com/2021/04/22/eugis-weekly-prompt-dance-april-22-2021/
This poem started with just 4 lines. But as I wrote, it expanded. After I went to bed last night, glad to have written my NaPoWriMo contribution for the day, it occurred to me it would make a great song! And the music was there, so I captured it on my double strung harp while it was still fresh in my mind. When Eugi left a comment saying the poem could be a song, I knew I had to record it and include the audio here. So, here it is! Thank you very much, Eugi!
