Monocrostic (Birthday of Miya Marasigan)
Refreshed and rejuvenated, I cleaned my room
Scoured my kettle, tidied up my riding broom
Put spell books in alphabetical order
Rebuilt my back stairs with brick and mortar.
Now I am pooped and have to take a nap.
Curled up in my black cloak and witch’s hat
My familiar is curved up in a ball next to me.
She will lick me awake when it’s time for tea.
Beyond Despair
despair
heavy, discordant
stomping, injuring, impeding
stamina, outlook, impulse, dreams
refreshing, aiding, inspiriting
priceless, heartfelt
hope
tranquil unmoving water,
felt it would be cold this early in the morning
my little boat was waiting,
to take me on today’s adventure
My heart was light, I felt joyfully excitedly refreshed
I woke up, feeling refreshed
I am now in anguish in dread
I woke up, feeling replenished
Out of my head, I feel out of my head
I sometimes feel dead though instead
Renewal mind
at a time
refreshed, comfort
success
goals at the best.
alba golden hue
glisten in the morning dew
nature hence refreshed

rEFRESHED--
O I remember the day, the day my wife died
she was near, yet wasn't by my side
on her last day of life she was so extra sweet a little to quite
I cried on that day
she was near, yet wasn't by my side
I was lead away
I cried on that day (rEFRESHED she rose on into heaven, bless)
I was told by a Pastor God had loan her to me
I was lead away
on her last day of life she was so extra sweet a little to quite
I was told by a Pastor God had loan her to me
O I remember the day, the day my wife died

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2019 ©
Written for North Omaha Writers Group (NOW) class assignment
Look out o'er the water
thoughts ebb and flow
Stroll down the boardwalk
miles and miles to go
Reflect and refresh to
water's eddies and time
Seeking new rivulets
of rhythm and rhyme
A
Brilliant
burst of light
dawns a new day
The present moment
hides the treasure of life
Yesterday is now past tense
The future is beyond our reach
Sunrise breathes refreshed expectations
as we rise to meet the hope that it holds
God's mercies are new each day we awake
Believe in the promise the new day offers you
I rode across the arid desert dunes
Until I came to her oasis
Where greedily I drank
From the deep emerald pools of her eyes.

Visual 3 ~ 25 words
Placed 4th
Fresh memory of first love never fades away
Old memory is like flowers smelt yesterday.
After very long time, I took out my suite
Cornered in the wardrobe on a hanger.
I found a long familiar hair in the collar
That curly hair of a beauty who drew me to her.
An exalting smell
Of the *Bocheron perfume
I do remember.
*Brand name of the perfume

Spirit travels in brown stained
Cool water, spirit birthing
Energy to all living
Little fish, medium fish, large fish swim
Deer come to fill from brown stained
Running water, racoon drinks
Dragonfly hovers like a
Helicopter_drinks fill, spirit refreshed

The dawn comes each day
Barefoot outside my window
