all creation sings
whales and pulsars in rhythm
praises to our God

XI.
bright gleam of flashlight
reflects off resting cows’ eyes
gently chewing cud
night maternity ward check
all quiet under the stars
tranquility

a certain calm
in summer’s passing
flowers
garden’s bodacious beauty
sunflower heads fill with seeds
flat seas
with the butterfly’s flight
a certain calm
orange flutters cover tree
monarchs’ summer migration
the hour silent
before the birds awake
waves on sand
dot-to-dot stars fade away
earth turns her face toward sun’s glow

in decastitch, rhyming verse Tags: angels, candles, carolers, fire, light, moon, stars
Decastitch poem of 10 lines, 10 syllables each; see Elsie at Ramblings of a Writer.
angels illuminate this holy night
wreath of candles on table flickers bright
white lights twinkle from pine branches in snow
winter moon on velvet night sheds soft glow
joyful gleam in children’s eyes wait to see
shimmering garlands encircle the tree
carolers who sing under lamp post’s glare
gather near fire’s hearth with stories to share
each window mirrors shining stars’ array
celebrate light of the world born today
Decided to expand it for smoother reading out loud…at our Christmas Eve service!
As angels illuminated this holy night,
we light wreath of candles flickering bright.
White lights twinkle from pine branches in snow,
winter moon on velvet night sheds softer glow.
Joyful gleam in child’s eyes waiting to see
shimmering tinsel garlands encircle the tree.
Carolers, who sing under lamp post’s glare,
will gather near fire’s hearth with stories to share.
Each window reflects a star pointing the way
as we celebrate the Light of the World today!

in poem for children, rhyming verse Tags: canoe, mastodon, pussycat, sea, stars
Mastodon and pussycat went to sea
in a canoe without any oars.
Said Mastodon to Kitty, “Isn’t it pretty,
this mirrored reflection of stars?”
Replied puss to pachyderm,
“Move a little astern, your trunk
is blocking my view.”
So he took a step back but,
alas and alack! stars scattered
as boat tipped in deep blue…
…which may be why mastodons are extinct and cats hate water 😉

You, who spins
planets in place
calls stars by name
speaks light into
hot existence
You, whose wisdom
births bright galaxies
weighs gravity’s laws
measures our time
expands space
You alone are
worthy of worship
we, who spin
on watery planet
stare at your stars
depend on light
of dying sun
we, whose
understanding
reflects your image
yet live limited by
gravity, time, space
we bow in awe at
Your cosmic beauty!

in haiku Tags: desert, sand, silence, stars
unnerving silence
bleached bones exposed upon sand
lone vulture circles
inviting silence
milky way stars spilled on sky
holiness hovers
My scribbles in the sand on “inviting silence” theme at CDHK today.

in haibun Tags: Job, stars, unicorn
The idea of the unicorn mentioned in the Bible is intriguing. Job 39:9-11 reads, in early authorized Version: Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib? Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee? Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him? But later versions translate it as the wild ox. Some scholars think it may refer to a rhinoceros or buffalo. Whatever the real animal was, it must have been wild, horned, and powerful!

Linking to Carpe Diem Haiku Kai’s stars…
hot crystalline light
sparkling diamonds on velvet
birthed in nebula
_____
cold faceted snow
glittering sequins on lace
reflections of sun
_____
bright angelic song
praising Star-Maker who wears
royal diadem
