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!

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

Dreaming of ice cream sundae—

Time for exercise

Child’s sparkling clean room

Tornado waits in shadows—

Orderly chaos

There is a certain calmness which arrives when a writer turns scattered letters into a delightful gathering of prose.

Loretta Young Quotes

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.”

Monday Memories: Love Never Dims

From Ecclesiastes 3:1: “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.”

Winter’s snow, cannot hide

Cherished love, deep inside

During darkness of night

Her love shines, always bright

 

Spring’s blossoms, love shares

Life’s newness, always cares

Nature wakens, each land

Her splendor, in God’s hands

 

Summer’s glowing spirit

Longing to walk near it

Love growing, day by day

Her grandeur comes this way

 

Autumn’s colored venue

Love fills each day’s menu

Landscape treasures each thrill

Her warmth hides winter’s chill

 

Seasons, patient with time

Faith grows, ever in rhyme

Righteous gifts, sing as hymns

Father’s love, never dims

From Lamentations 3:22-24:  “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.  ‘The Lord is my portion,’ says my soul, ‘therefore I will hope in Him.'”

Embracing the grace offered with each season’s transition serves as a testament to our Creator’s light.

Outdoors we are confronted everywhere with wonders.  It is our daily bread.

From Psalm 19:-2:  “The heavens are telling the glory of God, and the firmament proclaims His handiwork.  Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge.”

Wendell Berry (born 1934) is an American novelist and poet.  Much of his writing embraces the goodness of protecting our environment and preserving agriculture’s way of life.
