A three minute event

Out on getting folks to
Share passion for their brand

By daring to steal home
While so many watch

Replaced the guts of the
Outdoor grill, cooking returns
To being easy again

Ah, the glories of spring
The tree skeletons fade
Away as the buds appear

Glorious weather shifted
Gears just once along the way

Take April showers, add
Some sun, raising the temp
And pop, these buds are for us

Seniors, veterans, all it takes
Is one phone call with Bob
To get it started

Between fail whale and
Red wine rising to the head
Time to go to bed

One update sent out to
Multiple sites at same time

This room has light all
Around, no need to lean

Nature adapts to the trash
Dumped around it, think
There’s a lesson for us?

Hanging the tassel just so
Avoids the hassle
Of the sidewalk supers talk

What is a sherku?

dusting break: the hat

Faceless doll, hot pink hat
What will you do to stand out
From the crowd today

What is a sherku?

Boiled egg peeler; good job
For one who gets under
Another’s skin quickly

What is a sherku?

the hearth, it gets much colder
we'll need to start a fire

spring cleaning challenge

I issued a spring cleaning challenge at the Joyful Jubilant Learning blog today. It includes 7 new sherku created while dusting around the house on Saturday.

Enjoy!

That's me

Long arms and legs, portable
step stool, good for folding sheets
dusting high places

Comments open

I had not noticed that the default setting was to "not allow comments". That has been changed. It should not have been that way and it won't be going forward from here.

Chair rows facing the stage
Folks entering left and right
To find a seat closer

What is a sherku?

Not a circus

crossing a dirt path
entering a large white tent

Reflections upon the Bi-annual Dodge Poetry Festival

gather to hear great words

The scarves were given away
And put to use tonight
Revs win home opener

A rose by any other
name would smell as sweet
unless tainted by deceit

Plan and revise

Long range planning efforts
Don’t do much good if you
Don’t keep the plan up to date

What is a sherku?


Note: I learned from the focus group meeting to review the current long range plan that there have been similar efforts before but by the third year of the five year plan, they were out dated and dropped, hence no confidence in the plan. Of course, a plan needs to be revisited regularly!

Just after

The news came on, daily
Alarm to get up and
Going, the power went out

What is a sherku?

April is the cruelest month

April is the cruelest month
Sun glazed blossoms can still
be covered with white snow
