Pondering The Poetic Heart
Pondering the Poetic Heart is a place to guide our spirits into place of contemplative rest. As a poet, I long to encourage you to find hope and healing through the process of reflecting on God, love, life, and all things that capture the spirit through the written word.
In the month of November, I will lead us through a time of thanksgiving through my 30 Days of Thanksgiving Poems. In December we will ring the bells of Christmas. There will also be other times through the year when we will celebrate love, just for fun poetry, and more. I pray this will be a place of loving contentment for all of us.
Those Quiet Sunday Afternoons

I’m so thankful for Sunday afternoon quiet
my favorite time of the week
to ponder Your Word in my heart
Your praises quietly I speak.

Colors of Thanksgiving

Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. Jeremiah 17:7

to holiday colors

for the treasures above
and the warmth that
winter’s gifts bring.

For another year God did impart.
