March Into April

Published April 10, 2011 | By Vixen

Prompt 163: Reciprocate

Time scampering past

Days full of new adventures

Life adjusting, changing, a constant metamorphosis

My shell crumbling, giving and taking,

Emerging quickly into the light,

My heart and soul given freely

I now redeem my reward

A fair trading of struggle bartered and in return

A collection of memories inherited

Reaping what I’ve sown

Seeking peace, obtaining balance

Give me a moment, I’ll give you a lifetime

Or perhaps,

I just ride off into the sunset

A Slice of Pi

Published March 14, 2011 | By Vixen

Pi-ku Haiku:

Lost an hour

Found

A late sunset

From OSI via A Challenge for Pi Day: Write Your Own Pi-ku:

Today is March 14, 3/14, 3.14, or as it’s known to many unlikely to have other plans, Pi Day. I’m learning about a few ways Pi Day is celebrated by so-called mathletes. There are pie contests and pizza parties. Those who can recite more than just three digits do so out loud to no one in particular, and the Exploratorium in San Francisco holds an all-day celebration. And some people, we understand, write pi-ku—haiku about pi. I say we take it one step nerdier and make new rules. You don’t need to love math to love Pi Day!

Things seem so illusionary, but it’s the corners of my mind that scare me

Published January 25, 2011 | By Vixen

Into you I direct
All my unwanted thoughts
The ones of self doubt
Sorrow, struggle, sadness and worry
My quagmire corner receives them all
In that place of muck and bog
Upon that slick and springy ground
They cannot find firm purchase
And lose their strength and power

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

Prompt 117: Floating

I’m bobbing through life

River of calm and rapids

Combined and alive

It’s Friday and time to meet and greet some new friends. Link up and follow at any of these sites, I will see you there! Everyone have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. We are heading to my brother’s house with MacD and Funsize to show off the new baby! There will also be food, games, relaxing, sunshine, pools and alcohol. Probably all in excess.

A Mother’s Listening

Published April 5, 2009 | By Vixen

OSI Prompt 58: Listening

It begins with mewls

And little soft cries of distress

Followed by demands

And never ending questions

Finally only phone calls

I am off to get ready for Ladybug’s big birthday bash at the park. It appeared the weather was going to cooperate when I woke up this morning: It was already 70 degrees. But the last few hours there has been some really strong winds. I hope they go away by party time! Enjoy your Palm Sunday, everyone. God bless.
