and Purposeful Prose
I'm a fish Blub blub blub Don’t ask I'm trying something different Thinking outside my box It was kind of cramped in there anyways. Wait a minute I'm a fish Fishes don’t have boxes They swim the ocean with ease Sometimes we call them seas So seize the day And be a fish If you [...]
Adventure called So I ran straight out the door! My hopes were high But they all soon hit the floor. My eyes were bright Fixed on a view that I'd longed for Then trouble came running And I lost the metaphor It's a mystery What tomorrow will bring It's a tug-of-war that can undo my [...]
Sky High Sighs How many times can she sigh sky high? Okay that’s just silly This must be some "parboiled poetry" Truly Really Why do my stupid poems make me laugh? Especially when this car's out of gas? Must be the fumes. Tina S.W September 7, 2020 September Wind It swept through her hair like [...]
I wrote this poem for one of my best friends a couple of years back. I went looking for it because I felt that I really needed this reminder myself. The funny thing is that Chris and I have reversed roles. He is much happier and content than he was when we met. Wait a [...]

I don’t normally post on Thursday's but this was heavy on my heart. Seek I know that you're hurting I feel your pain But one day these tears will be wiped away Then everything will change Nothing will be the same Until then we must pray And encourage one another To seek God's face.* Tina [...]
