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.

The tabs at the top of this page offer quick access to my most recent posts and quotes. Additional tabs allow you to check out older posts dealing with the themes of Christian and general poetry, short stories, and other posts.

Big Sky Buckeye has been in motion since October, 2018. After retiring from teaching after 40 years, I was looking for a place to land. It has been a welcome blessing to meet other writers and readers.

My wife is also a gifted writer in her own right. She published her first book in July, 2025. With a theme of Christian family, BITS ‘N’ PIECES OF MY HEART, offers an outlet for her love of Jesus. The book is filled with short stories, poetry, and devotions for more mature readers. For younger children she shares energizing activities and fun songs. Her book is available on most online bookstore sites.

We don’t have to be beautiful or brilliant or have all the answers to be blessed of God. All He asks is that we trust Him, that we stand before Him in integrity and faith.

From Proverbs 10:8-9: “The wise of heart will heed commandments, but one with foolish lips will come to ruin. Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever follows perverse ways will be found out.”

Charles Swindoll (born 1934) is an American pastor and Christian author.

Defining sunrise
Another touch of peace
Harmony’s interactions
Nature’s timely release

Embracing daylight
Morning’s joyfulness speaks
Each illustrated landscape
Nature’s waiting mystique

Inserting wind’s breath
Grove of tree branches sway
Scattered pollen taking flight
Nature’s open gateway

Mixing up colors
Hues of unique design
Tranquility delivers
Nature’s scenic pipeline

Fulfilling vision
Hope offering her hand
Empty canvas finished
Nature’s spirit commands

Humility’s Heart

From Philippians 2:1-2: “If, then, there is any comfort in Christ, any consolation from love, any partnership in the Spirit, any tender affection and sympathy, make my joy complete: be of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.”

Led by Jesus Christ
Humility follows His light
Captured in every breath
Outlook painted in white

Encouragement breathes
Bathed in blessings of Scripture’s Word
Humility’s heart warmed
Joy found in all that’s heard

Pride moving away
Humility infused with love
Credit given to God
Glory shines from above

Christ’s comfort received
Peace descends upon angel’s wings
Humility’s presence
Forever, mercy sings

Hope in tomorrow
Humility’s mission complete
Others placed above self
Gifted with faith’s front seat

From Philippians 2:3-4: “Do nothing from selfish ambition or empty conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves. Let each of you look not to your own interests but to the interests of others.”

Humility is such an important human character trait. May we emulate it daily in our walk with Christ.  He desires to see us to do nothing less.
