Good morning ladies and thanks Pessa. 5-7-5 gets in your brain!

Cerulean sky / Splendid fall leaves majestic / Mother Nature smiles ♥

My turtle is old

I've had him thirty-eight years

He is my good friend

(my first haiku!)

Aspens turn yellow

Orange leaves fall on the ground

Fall in the Rockies!

A visit to our lovely mountains inspired me to write this! Have a great week all!

Pessa

Thanks! :-)

way to go Pessa!

Mamasixta was good too!

Cant leave out Badger!

-----------

Haikus can be fun

not to mention addictive

My brain thinks that way.

----------

Beautiful words come

To showcase what we can see

And share it with you.

mamasixtaz - nice!

Just found out today

Moon and I both like to watch  

Dancing With The Stars!

Moonflwr912

Its not a secret

I watch for Jack and Amber

I hope Amber wins!

Saw the sun today;

it peeked out between the clouds,

it still does exist!!

More magnesium

Wasted a couple more hours

Watching drip, drip, drip.

Mom is eighty three

Can't live alone any more

Move to Wisconsin!

Pessa

Hopefully they will say that about us when the time comes (i.e., hope to live to 83 and beyond!)!

My mom was dx with BC 33 years ago, when she was 50.  That was my age at dx.  She's a ray of hope!

Moonflwr912

Its incredible

How the mind can follow form

And have it make sense.

My DMIL had BC 20 years ago. Died of old age at 90. Hoping to get there too.Badger, Wheres your Mom living now? Is she moving here?

Pessa, I hope all is well. Had another magnesium tx today. But the Slo mag is better than the other mag. So even if I take 4 of them its better for me. Much love to all.

Pessa

All is well with me (and my turtle).  Thanks for asking.

badger

Monica, she's on the southwest coast of FL and yes is moving here, near where I work vs. where I live.

Found a place for Mom

Nice enough I would live there

Take good care of her

badger

Cold wind brings the rain

Chill in the air and my bones

Time for hot cocoa

badger

Full moon peeking through

the storm clouds gathering force

to bring rain, or snow?

Moonflwr912

No, no ,no, SNOW, NO!!!!

I dont want to see white stuff

Unless its ice cream!

badger

Whipped cream is good, too.  ;-)

But try some fresh clean snow with

pure maple syrup!

Moonflwr912

Pure Maple Syrup

might taste pretty good on snow;

Just not right away!

Lost a friend to this f****n disease. I will update a poem I wrote for a friend who's son died.

Our Tears We Add

I cannot write a poem today.

My heart is broken, shattered clay.

The news that passed from hand to hand

Twas sharp and cut bone deep; and damned.

Our tears we add as she is laid to rest

She never gave up, through all of life's tests.

Her pain is over, though we still cry

Knowing its time to say goodbye.

All that's left is to remember, and pray,

I cannot write..........

Rest in peace Michelle.

Moonflwr912

Ok. Another Not Haiku! Just blame the weather!

First Snow

The first snowfall this season

Floats gently all around.

Draping over piles of leaves

Still left upon the ground.

So beautiful and shining white

Reflecting the Suns rays.

Green grass slyly peeking through

Last trace of sun filled days.

Soon melting into water

First Snow will never last.

Enjoying fresh snow again

Forgotten seasons past.

Soon enough will come the pain

Of moving snow along.

From driveways , sidewalks, rooftops.

It always seems so wrong.

Time will heal this pain too

As Winter comes to stay.

For now we'll dream of tulips

And wait for sunny Spring days!

Moonflwr912

Feeling neglected

White space on page is blinding

Ha! Not anymore!

RedReading

Love does surround me

My husband and my children

Help me keep smiling

Cold days good for soup

Reading on couch with snuggie
