Its Poetry Month Day 5

I have two for you today because well one is a journal entry called Springtime Senses written using a Five Senses form and the other is called Lost and Found in Acrostic form

Springtime Senses

See:
Flowers bloom in vibrant hues,
Trees adorned in fresh green leaves,
Nature's canvas painted anew,
Spring arrives, a sight to perceive.

Hear:
Birds sing melodies in the air,
Bees buzz as they gather nectar,
Soft rustle of leaves, a gentle flair,
Nature's orchestra, a sweet spectre.

Smell:
A bouquet of blossoms in the breeze,
Fresh grass after a morning rain,
Earth awakening from its winter freeze,
Spring scents, a fragrant domain.

Taste:
The first bite of a ripe, juicy fruit,
The sweetness of a floral infusion,
Nature's bounty, fresh and acute,
Spring flavors, a delightful conclusion.

Touch:
Soft petals, delicate and light,
Cool breeze on a warm afternoon,
Grass underfoot, a comforting sight,
Spring's textures, a sensory boon.


Lost and Found

Looking for answers, I wandered alone,
O
ctober's chill echoed my inner groan,
S
elf lost in shadows, a heart turned to stone,
T
ime seemed to freeze, in a world overgrown.

And then came a moment, a flicker, a spark,
N
udging me forward, through the dense, endless dark,
Determined, I rose, found a new, hopeful arc.

Finally, clarity, a path brightly shown,
O
vercoming the past, in my heart it was sown,
U
nderneath the scars, a strength I have grown,
N
ow I stand tall, in my essence, my own,
D
ecidedly me, in every step that I've known.

 

_Below is the AI version using my theme_

Living in shadows, a heart in despair,
O
ut in the wilderness, searching for air.
S
eeking a path through the depths of the night,
T
rudging through darkness, in search of the light.

Amidst the confusion, a glimmer of hope,
N
avigating turmoil, learning to cope.
D
eeper we delve, into the depths of the soul,  

Finding our footing, regaining control.
O
pening our hearts to the lessons around,
U
nveiling truths in the silence profound.
N
ow we emerge, with a newfound sight,
D
iscovering strength in the darkness of night

Rest Assured I'm still here

 Albeit tired in a way I can not describe well but I will try. November was a quiet month with very little going on and was just what I needed after such a busy summer. I am still feeling off but that may have been because I had what I think was a mini-stroke just at the end of November then December brought GD#3 back full-time. The shakes are steadily getting worse and the headaches are back. It has been awhile since I felt so tense and afraid. It could just be a stress headache but I keep coming back to the massive one I had the night before I got checked out for the stroke. It frightens me but it shouldn't I used to get them a lot last winter, it's because our radiators blow warm, dry air and it dries me out. The thing is even drinking water does not seem to help much. My guess is that I am very dehydrated from the heaters, with the added stress of Christmas and GD#3, all of which add up to "I don't feel so good". Add the mini-stroke stuff and winter arriving a...

I'm Good (Blue)

"Part of the problem, time to set boundaries"- Everlovin Yeah I've been realizing that. A long time ago a counsellor told me that as well but I don't know if I have ever had any boundries in my life other than the usual if you hurt me or my kids you are gone. Back then it was physical stuff, emotional and mental pain were not part of my knowledge. I am more aware of it now but I don't have protect myself that way. "Start, if nothing else they will never learn to stand on their own 2 feet if you are constantly saving them from themselves"- Everlovin  Me and my partner discussing Personal Space. Not from him he is pretty good at giving me the space I need my children and grandchildren not so much     He says this song should be my theme song but it really isn't even close to the way I feel about my life these days. Once maybe but it has been a long time. I've read a lot of books in my life about self awareness in its many forms (self-care, self-est...

Perhaps I was a little hasty...

 Last night all I could think about was getting out of this town and going to someplace safe and quiet.  Funny enough when I went searching for safe and affordable Peterborough was actually on the list and yes the list was new as of June 2022. Kinda surprised to find that we are actually pretty safe here despite all the stuff going on. I was watching Tik Tok and this guy was jogging down a street in Vancouver, there were literally dozens of tents and homeless all along the street. Made me realize that we do have it pretty good here even with the rents doubling in the last six months. I would rather not leave Ontario but the cheapest rents are in Quebec and one of the eastern provinces, I can't remember which one off the top of my head. This is scary Maybe I'll find a way to curb the urge to run away for awhile.
