Writer's Notebook

Do you enjoy writing or reading poetry?  Most of the posts on Big Sky Buckeye are filled with poetry, but I also share short stories, photography, and a few surprises along the way.  You are invited to sit a spell and find something you like.  I enjoy sharing my curiosity through my writing.  You are welcome to like, comment, follow, share, or reblog a post.

Today’s series of short poems have been crafted in the Japanese style of Haiku.  Observing the world around us opens up a blessed journey to write from.   Thank you for stopping by, and you are encouraged to read more from Delightful Morsels.

My writing is supplemented by maintaining an active journal, which gathers thoughts from my Bible reading as well as sampling other bloggers’ posts.  Daily entries found in  From My Journal contain reflections about faith, life, and community for March 3.

You are invited to read a quote, updated on March 3 which features inspiration from the words of American actress Loretta Young.  Her reflections open an avenue of meaningful thoughts.

Here’s my Baker’s Dozen, featuring 13 of my recent writings from the past couple of weeks.  Each post is linked to take you right to its location.  Other poems, short stories, and feature writings can be found in the archives (found at the top of the page), which will be updated frequently with past selections.  Enjoy!

Another uplifting story

Kindness writing every word

Sharing humble hearts at peace

Celebrating all that’s heard

 

Local heroes stepping forward

Kindness speaking from each heart

Making each small difference

Shaping city’s fresh restart

 

Joy mixed throughout every voice

Kindness enhances life’s strengths

Offering each breath of grace

Bringing hope within arm’s length

 

Love deepens each interaction

Kindness blesses day’s outreach

Encouraging tomorrow

Softening with words that teach

Forgiving Light

From John 3:16-17:  “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not perish but may have eternal life.  Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world but in order that the world might be saved through Him.”

Witnessing distant light

Christ in Bethlehem born

Journey makes way toward cross

Thorns of man’s transgressions worn

 

Raising light, seeing grace

Father’s love bears His Son

Calvary moves from shadows

Hope’s fulfillment shall be done

 

Marking truth’s difference

Faith’s Messiah shows up

Destiny’s light serves pardons

Mercy flows from Heaven’s cup

 

Leaving days of darkness

God’s blueprint marks Christ’s way

Man’s sinful spirit transformed

Light nourishes peace each day

 

Exchanging world’s sorrows

Savior’s forgiving light

Every iniquity paid

Redemption’s dynamic flight

From John 3:19-21:  “And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil.  For all who do evil hate the light and do not come to the light, so that their deeds may not be exposed.  But those who do what is true come to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that their deeds have been done in God.”

The longer you delay, the more your sin gets strength and rooting.  If you cannot bend a twig, how will you be able to bend it when it is a tree.

From James 1:14-15:  “But one is tempted by one’s own desire, being lured and enticed by it; then, when desire has conceived, it engenders sin, and sin, when it is fully grown, gives birth to death.”

Richard Baxter (1615-1691) was an English-born, Puritan pastor and Christian theologian.

Afternoon nap calls

Down, down for well-earned respite—

Up, up . . . chores to do

Sitting on park bench

Dreaming of ice cream sundae—

Time for exercise

Child’s sparkling clean room

Tornado waits in shadows—

Orderly chaos

A face is like the outside of a house, and most faces, like most houses, give us an idea of what we can expect to find inside.

What you don’t know intrigues you more than what you do know.

Loretta Young (1913-2000) was an American actress.  Starting as a child in 1916, her career continued until 1989.  In 1947, she earned an Academy Award as Best Actress for her performance in “The Farmer’s Daughter.”
