and Purposeful Prose
I have a poem for you! First, let's take a look at what yesterday brought. I woke up at around 4AM and couldn't get back to sleep. Very grey thoughts churned around in my head until the alarm went off at 7AM. By then I was in tears. Early in the afternoon Andrew and I [...]
It's time for another mint tea tasting! In fact it's time for more rehydration in general. I experienced a charlie horse in my leg yesterday while sitting cross legged on the bed trying to juggle pencils. Yes, apparently pencil juggling is a dangerous sport when not fully hydrated. More fluids needed. This post's challenger is [...]
My thoughts are all over the place. I'm having such a hard time figuring out where to begin. I guess the begining is a good place to start, right? This was our first trip together. We had only been married a year. A family reunion called us into the great outdoors and beyond our own [...]
Adrift Out of touch But not out of sight My needs are met Even in the fight. Worn Thrown by waves But not out of hope When the sea's rough You settle my boat. So I won't forget Your faithfulness You deserve my praise And nothing less I won't cease to thank you For all [...]
I've been saving this one for so long my bananas are mushy. Nevertheless, even an overripe banana can be made into banana bread. If you're superstitious then you may throw daggers at me (or bananas) but I'm not one bit superstitious. There is the odd superstition that's pretty super. It's quite sensible to avoid running with [...]
This one has been in my drafts too long. It's almost stale. I haven't eaten a nacho chip since! I just about didn't post this today. Then I saw Andrew eating nacho chips. Knowing full well that I haven’t bought any since I wrote this post, I said to him, "Hey where did you get [...]

Senryū tend to be about human foibles while haiku tend to be about nature, and senryū are often cynical or darkly humorous while haiku are more serious." (Source: Wikipedia) Senryū (Practice) Senryu is [...]
When I came back from the hospital I knew there would be some setbacks, but I didn't want to get discouraged, so I sort of swept that thought under the rug. This doesn’t always (or often) work, but it did this time, likely because I was thinking about setbacks and patience before I had my [...]
Looking up at the same sky Watching my eagle soar Not a clue what comes next Or what the future has in store. Dreaming Dreading Hoping I'll soar too Praying Forgetting The sky still turns blue. Tina S.W. June 24, 2020 "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount [...]
Am I vanilla or is the world a bit mad? Am I mad? I might be a bit out of my box. Where's my box!? Hides. What did she just say? I don't know what that even means! Where am I? I think I just teleported to a different reality Where's my box? Backs away [...]
