The 16th collection of faith based poetry.

We all have habits, some good, some bad, but it is too easy to get taken in by the temptation of bad habits. These poems look at some of those and try to encourage readers to think before they act. This is written in response to the word prompt "Habits."

A late post of a poem I had written a few weeks back in response to Ms. Brenda’s word prompt “shadow”.

Response to "Word Prompts Help Creativity ~ Week 34 (Habits) - "Habits"; “Witch's Spell ~ Strong Desire" & "Virtue" is what my muse came up with from the word prompt, "Habits." Habits can take control over our lives. It's like we are spellbound & can't break free. Good ones have bad moments too.

This is a creepy little poem I wrote for Halloween 2021. I hope it doesn't scare you too much. Happy Halloween everyone!

A poem on the parting of love. Every tale has an ending. It can be both joyous and sad at times. But if love is pure, everything is great.

The World looks to someone who can bring words to Poetry like never before... Who will be the Poet that emerges through that ultimately narrow door ? For many people know how to write glorious words in poetic form... But One More Poet may be One More Poet than what everyone needs!

In this world, I was also My brethren betrayed, alone and rejected in My own home.

If we know the God of hope, we are not hopeless.

"We the Sheeple", have truly lost our way, using humanity's advancements as personal entitlements, rather than to expand our efforts for the common good. History repeats as we again call for the distracting appeal to our vanity, binding our conscience with excuses amplified by someone else's lyrics.

This life might be difficult at some point in time but this flesh is the only one we know. Let’s learn to love it

In the quest for two drops of sunshine, a lot of journey had been lived, internal, external and in forecast. The quest, however, still lives on, with at least moons in sight for hope, if the sun doesn't bless the blessed drops.

A person's love is a blend of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual mystic attachment. When someone or something is adored, it is referred to as affection. Based on the emotions of love and affection the poem depicts a wishful conversation of true lovers.

A snippet of my healing experience as a result of having Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Thoughts randomly pop into my head and I write them down.

This is a poem I wrote called "Hollywood is Dead". The article includes a preface describing where I got the inspiration to write this poem.

My apologies for being away so long. Still singing the same old song.

This poem describes the love of being close to nature, appreciating the wonderful creations of our Almighty God. Enjoying those moment and feeling so grateful.

Autumn is already upon us and after the sultry heat of summer, it is a welcome change. What I like most about autumn is the vibrant colors of nature we get to see all around us. It is an ideal time to test our photographic skills. The beauty of nature during autumn inspires us to click photographs

A poem about being stuck in your safe haven, and then finally getting the courage to get out.

Response to "Word Prompts Help Creativity ~Week 33 (photograph) - "Photograph"; "Sunday Dinners"; & "Mobile Pictures" is my last minute write on photograph.  I had something else in mind and I might still do that one in the future, but I was running behind schedule, so I jotted down these lines..

The hands of God will always be our help in times of trouble.

The most fascinating thing about a photograph is that it captures a moment, which is gone and can not be recreated. For example weddings, childhood, young age, family get togethers, festivals, travels etc. Looking at the photographs after some years, is a sweet reminder of those precious memories.

Good relationships endure as time passes, sealed with love and the images of old photographs. Sisters have some of the strongest bonds, becoming best friends forever in life, and in memory.
