Why He loves me, I can’t imagine.
Why He blesses me, I am unsure.
Why He values me, I don’t know.
Why He lights my soul, is unknown!
When He stills the winds, I listen.
When He moves the heart, I pray.
When He forgives my sins, I’m thankful.
When He smiles on me, I’m filled with praise!
Where He goes, I will follow.
Where He is, I long to be.
Where He exalts, I feel certain.
Where He promises, I can breath!
How He inspires me, I can’t describe.
How He stirs my heart – excites.
How He lights the dark, enthuses.
How He saves my soul – truly gratifies!
Whom He says He is – He is!
Whom He blesses, is blessed indeed!
Whom He saves, is saved forever!
Whom He is – He is King and Savior!
Not quite red, sometimes pinkish, orange has a tangy freshness.
Adding the prettiest accents to Halloween, October, and fall festivals.
My favorite sweatshirt, broom, sweater, shirt, and chair are this color.
She perks me up, delights me, and keeps me jazzy and sassy.
Orange inspires me, reassures me, uplifts me, and enthuses me.
Wendy Witch and Jessica Rabbit both sport orange hair.
Orange is the first paint color I run out of every two months.
She puts a sparkle in my step, and exuberance in my brush.
The feeling of impulsive sensitivity, the beginning,
the search for the meaning of emotion, the end.
When I am at their thresholds at the edge of twilight,
my mind sinks in turmoil, unexpressed.
When the day’s last wind begins to blow,
I see in the corridor of past my shadow lengthen,
saunter on the footprints buried under dust,
while the road to the future waits to be walked.
Life’s story written in tome of assorted episodes,
at the end of a sad chapter I have to decide,
if I would turn the page or close the book.
I choose to read on until I am in the last page.
Seized by the urge of expression the imaginative mind
enthuses my muse to encapsulate the fixation,
that transforms the creative passion into words,
flowing with ebullient surge with the joy of poetry.
At the crossroads of self-searching journey,
I refuse to silently crumble in loneliness,
but tread the moonlit path with dreams.
If it wasn’t for poetry I wouldn’t have risen from dust.
Athenians were losing to the Persians led by Xerxes one.
but Athena came along, and spoiled that militant’s fun.
she helped the Greeks defeat them, and they ran away.
goddess of wisdom, justice, and war simply does not play.
she enhanced the wisdom, skill and courage of every soldier.
her practical knowledge and fairness is unselfish and pure.
born from Zeus’s head, with her owl power animal at her side.
enthuses Athenians who built Parthenon with her statue inside.
contemplative, reflective, thoughtful, pensive, introspective spring
surveying her meadows and woodlands, encouraging the daffodils,
lilacs, violets and fresh mosses.
She encourages and enthuses her verdent greens to do their best.
Buds are starting on limbs, tiny leaves are beginning to appear.
She congratulates herself, again a success, loving her occupation.
Every morning it’s my habit not so new
of drinking from a brimful cup,
the piping hot reviving brew,
as from bed I listlessly get up.
I try various types of tea and their progeny,
herbal, green, brown and even spicy,
get the satisfaction of a low degree,
often the sip becomes dicey.
Gaining simple pleasure from concoction,
I get to think is not my cup of tea,
until in the Himalayan hill station,
I taste the famous Darjeeling delicacy.
The aroma of golden liquid delights my sense,
drives me to go on a drinking spree,
turns me into an addict of its pleasure hence,
enthuses me to drink everyday a cup of this tea.

Contest : A Simple Pleasure
Sponsored by : Julia Ward
Sitting in the sun with no corn to pick
No crops to plant, my joyfulness is thick
Vitamin D enlightens me
Gives me poetic possibility
Sitting in the sun soaking up her rays
This is how I want to spend my days
Vitamin D enthuses me
Gives me great painting ideas for free
Sitting in the sun listening to a crow
Is beautiful too, if you do not know
Vitamin D gives me a lift
She is the biggest, best, most natural gift.
Sitting in the sun on a summer’s morn
Makes me as happy as the day that I was born.
Vitamin D, you take my sorrows away.
Please come back tomorrow and permanently stay!

A hankering for a well-of life,
Reminds me to focus on my dreams.
And assiduous itself, is my caliber -
That relies its origin from dedication;
Because nothing rules my mind, but the words,
I will, pursue my dreams.
Being intense about a well-to-do lifestyle,
Enthuses me to ponder on my goals.
And industrious is what reveals my progress and productivity;
Which is brought by tireless all day long day!
Because nothing encourages me, but the words,
I will, pursue my dreams.
Being ardent about that moneyed life!
Engenders me to contemplate on my professions.
And hardworking itself, is my best friend;
That keeps me me unremitting and single-minded.
Because nothing lies deep in my heart, but the words,
I will, pursue my dreams.
She has given me a reason to get up in the morning
Something to look forward to,
She delights me, excites me, enthuses me, bamboozles me.
Poetry!
She has brought friends my way in the form of followers.
I am now a cult leader, revered and adored.
She has uplifted me, and has gifted me with positivity and mirth
Poetry!
Now my doctor and hairdresser, she has kept me afloat during a pandemic
A time in my life where my only friend, and best life line
is actually a subject rather than a person
Poetry!
She has awakened me in the middle of the night
Feeding me lines during my sleep,
being my protector, my lover, my cheerleader, my friend, my family!
Poetry!
Orange stimulates every fiber of my being
Coaxing out the most creative sides of myself
Sizzling singing slinging dazzling dancing prancing orange.
The happiest color there could ever be
She revs me up, excites my libido, enthuses and amuses
Orange increases my joy by leaps and heaps
She shows me the tango, flashes her brazen smile,
Pirouettes in high heels, and flips me some sassy.
I would be lost without orange actually; adrift and helpless.
Jubilant gratitude* cheer
Punctuates name announcement…
“That’s my boy!”
Bright triumphant countenance
Unstoppable joyous clapping…
Accompanies ribbon-pinning.
“Most Grateful” award
Highlights virtuous trait…
Special kid’s goodness.
Ribbon of honour
Beautifies his shirt…
Wondrous mirth-source.
Midst sign-language
He delightfully enthuses…
“Thank You, LORD!”
*2Thessalonians 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord…

God’s sage plan enthuses us with things we love
Help generously comes from above
An open heart is not coy
Stillness is the ploy
Which leads to

Every girl and boy
Revers the things they enjoy
Miraculously fits like a glove,
God’s sage plan enthuses us with things we love

EVENING
Eye catching hue of sky
Entraps diffuse daylight
Ephemeral, fleeting
Enshrouded by dark night.
Enamouring splendour
Enthuses poets mind
Evokes celestial pride!
