Halloween Haiku

Jack o'lanterns shine
Kids in costumes trick or treat
Nanowrimo looms

***

Chocolate and Smarties
Lollipops and spider rings
Children's brilliant smiles

***

Leaves change, the air chills
Autumn swoops in, crisp and clear
I miss my sandals!

***

Love, lust and friendship
We've struggled with this for years
We still don't get it.

***

Thursday reverie
Beer, pizza, Ugly Betty
Gets me through the week.

***

Ghosties and goblins
Things that go bump in the night
Happy Halloween!

Nanowrimo 2008 - Gifted

Gifted
She has the gifts most misunderstood, most rejected, most exploited…prophecy, healing, speaking in tongues.
Taught to hide her gifts from childhood, she is horrified when they grow stronger and their presence becomes involuntary through adolescence.
Then what happens when she embraces her gifts, and is tested and fails, and has to find a way to heal again with hands that have killed, has to find a way to speak in tongues again with a voice that has fallen silent, and must prophesy again from a mind that has gone blank?
Who heals the healer? Who can stir the voice of the one who can speak in tongues? Who can open the mind of the prophet?
Soon, and very soon, she will find out.

Haiku Friday - Exhausted Edition

Rain falls, the wind blows
Autumn has finally come
Gray skies match my mood

***

Not where I should be
I know God has more for me
I seek and listen

***

Amazing how words
Have the power to change things
Bring dead dreams to life

***

Nanowrimo looms
One month, one great novel
No ideas in sight

***

God speaks, I listen
His love and grace transform me
His voice guides my days

***

No longer hiding
Living my life in His light
Reflecting His love

***
