I
Wonder
About my
Choices sometimes
And if they serve me
Since we are all here to grow
Do my choices hold me back
So I guess only time will tell
My choice to believe that gives me hope
That my choices really do serve me well

This week, I chose to use the words, JOLLY, and SPRING! Why? Because spring is a jolly time of year for me. I watch the land waken and all of nature brightens up in celebration! Follow Colleen Chesebro for all the fun her blog has to offer, including Tanka Tuesdays
Jolly fat robins
Worms are staying underground
Barren trees will bud
Temperatures on the rise
Spring is more than on its way

View from the window
Frosted trees and bushes
Blue peeks through white clouds
Imagination removes the glass
The soul flies with the birds

This week’s challenge from Colleen Chesebro, is a Poet’s Choice. I chose the words: SEEK & ELUSIVE
Just seeing someone
Trying too hard to be liked
Can be confusing
The very thing they’re seeking
Grows ever more elusive

Brrr, bathrobe weather
Be sure to grab a sweater
In case you need it
Dig out the mittens and scarves
To stay warm inside the house
