Twelfth Day of Ridvan and May Day

I remember weekend spent
at The Chikaskia River
water skiing,
fishing,
and playing in the water
around Grandpa's boat dock.

May Day weekends
always make me homesick.

I'm posting this in hopes that some of my friends and family will call me. You have my number. Please call because me to let me know if you're all alive. I have some stuff I need to talk about, so please give me a call.

Midweek reflection
about writing poetry

I am another survivor of dragon consumption. I can testify that mustard seed work. Unfortunately I used all the mustard seed I had on hand in my last dragon encounters.

Remembering Mama
I think about her love
of red roses.

on a Saturday morning
someone is playing
their music
in front of my apartment.

The feel of morning
Meditation, prayer, and coffee
I wake up slowly

2

Palm tree shadows sway
Nice Las Vegas afternoon
Waiting for summer

Coffee on Wednesday
Find a story to review

A cottonwood tree
Grew in my Grandparents' yard
White cottonwood seeds

The street sweeper drove
Up and down Sunrise today
Moved the car last night

96 degrees
Chocolate in the freezer
Waiting for morning

Feast of 'Azamat (Grandeur)

A dog barks
letting the neighborhood know
he wants attention
or something.

2

Cleaned out one desk drawer
I found a lot of poems
I need to finish.

Tuesday afternoon
A beautiful and cool day
A windchill factor.

I received my copy of the American Baha'i today.
I've read only one item,
which inspired me.

Beautiful Las Vegas morning
A slit wind blowing
The day started off good
With bright sunshine
And hot coffee.

Beautiful Saturday
My neighborhood is noisy
People are happy

Sunday morning blues
Prayer and coffee improve my mood
Bring a smile to my face

I went to log into my Facebook account and was locked out because someone had attempted to long in from overseas. I changed my password and I suggest others change their password once a month or so. Then write yourself an offline note about the new password.

Declaration of the Bab

Bees in God's Garden
Spread the Glad Tiding of love
To humanity
