Treasure Hunting (my title to a poem not mine) by Ruth Haris

I look
I search
I hope to see
something that appeals to me
something unique or maybe not
buttons, milk caps, straws the lot
a blue-green shape just caught my eye
I don't think I can pass it by
whatever it is, it makes me glad
and so, I'll put it in my bag!

This poem was listed in my curriculum for next month at the daycare center I work at. I thought it was very cute and had to share it. :)

Sun... Rise!

And she rises with a crimson blush
Debating whether or not to grace this world
The trees quiver and animals hush
waiting, waiting for that one moment
She's so lovely, so bold.
And as she rises, slow and high, it's the moment
To live and love and rejoice
Over this land and sea, the whole world
she has a heart beat, she has a voice.
For God's love made such beauty
The day he made this world
It's beat is ours and we need to keep it beating.

Driving to work this morning there was the red sun, peeking up over the earth. Made me think she was blushing, shy, timid about gracing us with her presence. lol.. Not that I believe the sun is a living being that you could call a "she", it's just that there's something so feminine about the sun, it's beauty, it's strength, it's ability to create and sustain life... *shrug* Thank you Lord for our beautiful earth and the wonders that keep it alive and us alive.

Not a Poem... :)

Haven't written any poems in a while so I have decided to share just these couple of little quirky things I wrote down. I usually write down little lines that pop in my head randomly because sometimes I can elaborate on them and turn them into poems. But I haven't been feeling too poetic lately. Maybe soon, Spring is finally peeking out and all the new life can be inspiring. :) Enjoy!

Coded words mean to me.
something secret,
something I'm not supposed to see.
So why write them down?
They just taunt me
and make me frown.



A bubble of laughter came with the green blush of the earth.

Happy Easter! It's in about a week. :) Hopefully I'll get inspired soon. I know once I get to start mowing grass, the words start flowing. LOL. Idk why but I always think of stuff while riding the lawn mower and listening to my ipod. ;p
