Rebirth
Let's be kind to earth
Trees and herbs to plant
Compost and repost
Maybe a quick Tree pose
Pause and breath for yourself
Be kind to yourself
Be kind to your neighbour
Look out and watch out
Defend the underdogs and misfits
If there is a rebirth
I will start from birth
All of us, all over the earth

April 26th – Birth / Rebirth
Hey, a Haiku would keep me caught up
But do I want to ease my task?
Thirty days of poetry
Doesn’t seem too much to ask!
I kept up with the content
As we headed forth out of the gate
A day goes by, and then a week
And now I am writing eight!
No, I guess it wasn’t as bad a that
Nothing a focused evening wouldn’t fix
A drive to a quiet spot to think
And I am ready to post six!
So focused on my words, I am
And besought with pending mirth
I realize too late into it…
The subject was about rebirth!
I guess I can take license
As…
DAY 26- BIRTH/REBIRTH
With her first breath,
She fills two unscathed lungs
Then releases her displeasure in
A flat and our hearts sing.
Her dewy, downy skin glows
In the warmth of our awed
Reflections.
And the music of her promise
Drowns out the noise of a
Tone deaf world,
Allowing us to hear, again,
The whispers of hope.

Birth/Rebirth
Spring is upon us
Make no fuss
Days are brighter;
Moods are lighter.
Chicks, ducks, and geese are hatching
No more z’s, bears are catching
Hunting, fishing, and scavenging lessons for young;
Venturing out into the sun.
Flowers are blooming
Bees, mosquitoes, and ants are zooming
Trees are budding;
Yards are flooding.
Butterflies break free
From sea to sea,
Life is renewed;
The circle of life continues.
