154 Days - 180 Poems - 22 Posts (Poems 18, 19, 20)

Hello to my readers, I had told you how much I enjoy writing Haiku poems. Well, we are not through it yet. Today was a busy day. Certain areas of our city are still recovering from the disaster of the floods. Today, I found myself at the heart of it, and learned more than I would have expected too. I understood one thing; that disaster hit all of us. It makes no difference between the rich and the poor. Instead, it brings them both closer. I was really tired tonight, and was tempted to go to bed without writing. But the challenge lays ahead, and more than ever I must not be complacent. I wrote 3 Haiku poems... Poem 18 --- Countdown: 154 - 182 - 22 Poem 19 --- Countdown: 154 - 181 - 22 Poem 20 --- Countdown: 154 - 180 - 22 At times, I will just jolt my thoughts and then make them visible for you the following day. Stay tuned.

155 Days - 183 Poems - 22 Posts (Poem 17)

Hello to my readers, I must say the poem I posted for my connections on facebook page on Saturday was a random from the ones I had written since the beginning of the challenge. In fact, I asked a family member to pick a random number between 1 and 16. So the number picked was 1. Therefore the first poem written was posted. Now that I am pondering, should I permit you to view those weekly poems as well? mmm... Food for thought!!! Well, what to write about today was an overwhelming because I had so many ideas. My pen could not focus. There I turned to a talk I heard on TV about Mary, our Lady, and went into the Haiku world. Her surrender to the Lord often moves me - I am the Handmaid of the Lord! Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautifu; !!! Countdown: 155 Days - 183 Poems - 22 wks/posts

Poem 8: My favorite verse of all times in the Scriptures is Luke 2:19. Today, it was in my meditations on Mother Theresa. Then I thought why not at last write on these. When I look around me, I see that every Christian woman who truly shines Christ is one who is able to live these words of Luke on Mary. Every year on January 1st as we entrust the year to our Lady, I look forward to hearing them in the Gospel of the Day.Our Lady, Queen of Peace, Pray for us. With the floods that our city, I found myself writing my reflections at last on the events through a series of Haiku poems. one of my favorite styles of poetry.
