Rarely have I made a resolution at the strike of twelve
Even if I should a resolution rarely does me good
So instead of resolutions at the start of each New Year
Only to have broken them before the sunset fades I fear
Living, loving life each day is what I strive for, that’s for sure
Unhappiness can bring you down, so smile don’t ever show a frown
To share this with my fellow man through actions I'll do all I can
If only homo-sapiens would stop and take a look they'd see
Our planet has such beauty though not many lift their eyes like me
Nature is the gift we have ~ so cherish and enjoy it
Sadly through our carelessness our actions could destroy it

HONORABLE MENTION
The fall has me remembering
days I couldn’t get enough of.
With longing I think back to spring
when hope was glowing! New was love!
Days I couldn’t get enough of -
breezes warm and the cool of night
when hope was glowing! New was love -
that time when all was fresh and bright!
Breezes warm and the cool of night,
the grass so green and sky so blue
that time when all was fresh and bright -
before spring's end; before years flew.
The grass so green and sky so blue;
pink blossoms on the trees in bloom -
before spring's end; before years flew. . .
how sweet the face of my young groom!
Pink blossoms on the trees in bloom!
With longing I think back to spring.
How sweet the face of my young groom!
The fall has me. . . remembering.

for Brian Strand's the 'COMPLETELY YOUR CHOICE (21)any form any theme' Poetry Contest
Battling against selfishness and pride
my human nature succumbs to temptation zest
yielding vulnerably, impotent midst prayerlessness...
now, I surrender to the Saviour for victory
claiming His strength.
As triumphant* warrior toward reaching-out pursuits
conquering apathy midst haughtiness' dominion
my spirit finds succor in God’s omnipotence
anchored upon faith-propped might...
grateful for His grace.
Psalm 92:4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

1st place, "A STRAND (1069)" Poetry Writing Contest
Sponsored by Brian Strand; judged on 2/9/2022.
Twinklers glint, shining above clouds
with a relay of dots in softest gold,
the sky transforming in a blink
to illuminate a shimmer in the air.
I wonder at your angled radiance
while frozen on the spot... my eyes awaken
and up there, a parade of twirling sparklers
like miniature bulb lights, combust.
The hues change from silver to red
a flicker splattering heaven's canopy,
that lovers gaze to breathe in the dew
of satin webs so delicate and frail.
Make a wish, your vibrant glare says
my face blushes praying for one dream
that makes me saunter, as in a trance,
drowning in the grandeur of your bliss.

oh
come
my love
and take
a trip with
me upon a
sailing ship
we'll sail the
mighty River Nile
relax, take my hand
awhile, magical times
and spooky night tombs
historical sites and temples
where sands of desert extend
in all of these incredible regions
the reeds as they
rush by azure
waters
reflect
the
sky
Valley of the Kings, the land upon which we touch in awe
ancient Egyptian feluccas are silent on the water
stretch to try to find our one genuine drive
the need to reach out and stifle the blaze.

Midnight moon - dazzling... lonely
Innumerable stars blinking
Eyes tearful,
Clock ticks,
Heart bleeds.
Cherry blossoms flowering with white splendour...
Sublime sight soothes a forlorn heart..
will be bare in a few days,
Days will pass, months will pass,
And I will not see you.
my heart aches with an unquenchable longing
for a glimpse of you,
for those days... watched the shimmering treetops glistening with silvery snowflakes,
the day... got drenched with pouring rain and splashes from the sapphire waterfalls,
on a boat almost overflowing ... still wished our journey never to end,
the day... gazed at the gossamer melting rays of the crimson twilight,
felt the flavour of a lavender passionate yearning for each other.
Stars blink,
Clock ticks,
Doting sleep whispers a cascade of love gently on my eyes.

A Brian Strand Freed Verse Poetry Contest
Riding distressed air, thoughts wander off
Disrupting poise and shaking her resolve
As the blue skies yield to darkened clouds
And sunny day concedes to advent of dark.
Looking for warmth she reaches far back
Reminiscing allure of moonlit ambiance
When holding hands under luminous stars
Amatory vibes twinkled dreamy romance.
Not a word he says about impending plight
Wrapping around her a reassuring stance,
Humming a tune from the sensuous past
Looking for sunshine amidst dreary storm.
Tomorrow will be the first day of new life
As countdown begins to how long he lives.
She'll be ready with the will of almighty,
Defying death at the entrance of mortality.
Much as they try to verbalize what's ahead
Silence manifests when words are needed.
A kiss of passion says she'll love him always
As one last tear sheds in grip of his embrace.

Placed 1st: Strand choice K contest by Brian Strand
Placed 2nd in one last tear poetry contest by Silent One
"In my poems I paint pictures with words,
and then, let them fly away birds. "
I am a word picking storyteller
a writer of dripping emotions
poet of penning sad poems
and of nature and life
a sketcher
and photographer of beauty
I paint with words
always spiritual, ethereal, and fragile
a thinker
a believer
a seeker

Honorable Mention
from a child I have lived one long dreadful dream
yet, my spirit is like a cool forest stream flowing
I write in fragments of my life in my poetry
awakening my pen for writing is my home
I am a cool dawn yet there is thunder in my soul
and a storm is lurking behind my fallen words
my days are poetic trances and reveries
and at night I spin weave my dreamy poetic dances

Dear precious heart, I just have one question;
May I love you with the love of God?
Can I hold you with the arms of Christ?
May I kiss you beyond your soul?
I shall not spiritually, ever let you go;
~
And may I pray for you
And may I stay in love with you
And may I worship our God with you
It’s true…
~
O’ dearest love let us reason;
May I continually pray for you?
And in due season;
Can I hold you in the bonds of Christ?
May I love you as God loves us;
And may I pray for you
And may I stay in love with you
And may I worship our God with you
It’s true…
I shall never let you spiritually go;
You see I love you first for your soul;
...alas after all this, just my love is just
a one which you can trust
And after all this...
and may I
