Cool Moon-Mountain Night by Tommia Wright

Familiarity in an
Unfamiliar day
Lit by a distant orb
Lulling the day’s cares away

Many a marker goes
Over and over as the
Orbiting sun gives reign to
Night’s order

Franklin Falls by Tommia Wright

Old photo, new word of the day equals…

Lazily look
About you during times of
Chaos, confusion, despair…
Happier moments
Resonate all around –
You just have to look where
Most people ignore the
Obvious signs of beauty and
Splendor in the
Every day

Thursday Thankfulness

Posted on January 5, 2017 by TommiaW

Burdens are many, sometimes unending
Learn to lean on those around you
Every person in your life is an angel, ally,
Saint, sent to help, to guide to
Set straight – with laughter, tears
Inspiration, support.
Nurture these relationships, for you may
Give back in time of need, too.
So light is the trial now shared.

Wednesday Words

Block Party Chess Game

* A cautionary poem about the hazards of finding too many word games that eat away the time, never mind exercising the mind.

Dear, oh dear
Evening time is near and
Every game I play
Means ‘Remember, there’s another day’

Travels

Mount Si in Winter 2016

Any other time, it would go un-
Noticed since it’s been there for all of time.
Dominating the valley with its majestic height.

However, this season, it’s
Outstanding, dressed in white, against a sharp blue
Waiting for its silhouette to be noticed this crisp night.

From an Office Window 2017

This month’s entries will be based on Merriam Webster’s Word of the Day. Today’s is the antonym.

Picturesque view with
Radiant beams and
Outstanding clarity while
Mesmerizing and sane.
Impressive, invincible
Spectacular shadows
Inviting adventure
Natural escapes
Grand all around

New Year

Posted on January 1, 2017 by TommiaW

First Snow of 2017

Amazing how each year begins
With a day no different than the one before
And yet we unwrap this day like a holiday
Ready with wonder for what’s in store.
Every day – before, here, later – brings
Newness in the details
Even if it’s in the same old things
So, may this year be merry, and full of
Splendid things – riches of blessings and fortune to rival that of kings.
