"Autumn Impressions"

I walk outside in the afternoon.
The fresh cool wind embraces me.

Leaves crunch under foot.
They form a rich tapestry of multicolored hues.
Red, orange, green, yellow and brown.

I visit Starbucks.
I get a pumpkin spice latte with whipped cream and nutmeg.
A nice piece of pumpkin bread rounds out my meal.

Later I arrive back home and lay down for a nap.
I dream of Thanksgiving turkey and pumpkin pie.

A veritable feast!

We just finished our Thanksgiving meal! We had yams with brown sugar and marshmellows, steamed brussel sprouts, carrots, mashed potatoes, turkey, stuffing, mushroom gravy, homemade cranberry sauce, gel cranberry sauce, and crescent rolls! For dessert we have homemade sweet potato pie and minced meat pie and eggnog! WOW I AM STUFFED!!!!!! :D

new poem

"Eat"

food is sublime
an ode in rhyme

whether it is pasta
or pizza pie

I love eating
sometimes French or Thai

give me bagels with cream cheese
or a strawberry cake

my senses are delighted
I am ready to partake

ramen noodles I like
and hamburgers too

I want some cheese fries
and beef roast au jus

there are so many cuisines
I never grow weary

I'll eat it all
and my stomach stays cheery

so bring on your cupcakes
and your tacos as well

a nice roasted turkey
sure is swell

I'll have some pumpkin pie
and moo shoo pork ad lib

spaghetti with meatballs is nice
also I'll have some prime rib

here ends my tale
I think I'll eat some quail

New poem

"Violet"

My sister Vi is so sweet and kind
I can always talk to her
If there's something on my mind

When I am sick and unwell
She nurses me
Until I feel swell

We can chat about poetry
Films and 80s songs
Our banter is always lively

She is a poet and an artist too
So talented
Her focus is true

Vi is my best friend
And my roommate as well
Eclectic we tend

We always communicate
Whether by text, phone, email or in person
Our discourse will never stagnate

Vi and I share faith in our Savior
Jesus Christ the Lord
We shall be with Him in eternal favor

"afternoon musings"

Water gushes across the window pane
Oh what a torrential rain

The cool Spring air
So refreshing and fair

The fierce wind gusts and blows
Following a path only God knows

I thought of the rain which fell
After Christ's death knell

His precious blood washed away down the hill
All in accordance with the Father's will

New poem

"Election"

Oh sweet joy I've come to know
Because of His unmerited grace
Eternity with the Lord I will face

Christ paid the ransom for my soul
I'm free from death and sin
Oh what a great propitiation

We are all blackened by sin
But we need not remain in darkness
God has given us the Lamb glorious

You can't earn salvation
No it must be a result of grace
We're no longer lost in disgrace

This wondrous Election is so sublime
From the world's foundation we were chosen
The regenerated souls and the damned frozen

If you are lost
And hurt and bruised and lame
Then repent and call upon His Name

Now praise the Redeemer
Let the trumpets sound and angelic host sings
Our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Kings

new poem

"an autumn day"

a cold breeze passes
leaving goosebumps

i exhale
and my breath is visible

walking in the park
leaves satisfyingly crunch under foot

i take a sip
of my pumpkin spice latte

it is refreshing
i behold the trees

the many hued leaves
create a rich tapestry of color

i arrive home in time for lunch
french onion soup

i smell the sweet carmelized onions
it is topped with melted cheese

a pleasing meal
nourishing and earthy

i sit by the window
reading a book

soon it is evening
i wear a comfy sweater

i drift asleep
dreaming of a Thanksgiving feast
