The green will appear
Suddenly a bare tree blooms
And we are in awe
At Mother Nature’s timing
Wishing we were as clever

Windows through which to gaze
Light by which you can read
Know you are rich indeed
Simple pleasures

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

Colleen Chesebro invited us to create a poem of our own choice, using prompt words of our own choice for the Weekly Challenge this week. I chose View & Imagination and to try my hand at GOGYOKA.

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