How silly is Triskaidekaphobia?

It’s only a number, after all

Even the Roman’s chose the fifteenth

Twas when Caesar took his final fall

So why do we associate thirteen

With ladders, cracks and black cats?

Is it just another mischievous way

To scare others into thinking that

Something terrible will surely happen

If they pay no heed, to the supposed curse

We’ll let them think it’s just another day

But we know it to be much worse

Lay me down upon this stream
Where water glistens sweetly
Let me visualize this dream
That fills me so completely

Lanterns illuminate the night
Hidden shadows fill the mist
Shining with the pale moon light
Enrapture me in eternal bliss

Adorn the forest’s pure mystique
With nature’s splendid worth
No longer do I need to seek
I’ve found my Heaven on Earth

She Reminds Me ~ #NaPoWriMo #poetry of #strength

Dedicated to my beautiful Aunt Dee, whom I call my sister because she truly is.  Battling with MS, she has more courage than anyone I know.  I love her dearly.

She is my sanity, the voice of reason

When life sends me spiraling down

She is there, to catch me, to lift me up

When I can’t seem to find myself

She reminds me how far I’ve come

Never questioning who or what I am

Always by my side, always on my side

Even through her own battles

She is my rock, my soul sister, my friend

Letting me know I am stronger than ever

Yes, I am stronger, because of her

I’m excited to announce, the second book in my Haiku series, Seasons ~ Winter Haiku, is now available on Amazon (in paperback only)!  I hope you’ll enjoy reading it!  The cover art is a photo I took this past winter (I’m hoping it has passed at this point!).  I’d be ever so grateful if you should decide to share/reblog.  I thank you kindly, in advance!   ❤

This book contains 50 haiku and is described as:

Winter ~ Colors fade away, changing from gray, into covered mounds of pure white snow. From December til March we brace for the lasting chill in the air, impatiently awaiting the first signs of warmth. The haiku in this book take you from the last days of autumn, through the blustery days of winter and into the hopeful days of spring ahead.

Here is the link for this book – Seasons ~ Winter Haiku – Book Two

This is the link for – Seasons ~ Autumn Haiku – Book One
