The second batch of five from my daily meditative practice. I am really loving this exercise, it helps me take time every day to capture the moment, to breathe and be silent, focusing on my now. It's a great fit for me.
Enjoy!

Daily Poetry Practice - First Five
I've been exploring meditative practices, and inner, mental, emotional health in recent weeks. I've been reading some great books, and trying some new things. Two of the daily practices I am adopting for my own are a meditative free-write session in the mornings, and a daily short poem (often an haiku). The short poems are something I love, and have been reading on twitter and tumbler for a couple of years now... the ones I love most are created and posted by @TylerKnott. If you don't follow him, you should!
As I work out the kinks of posting these daily to my tumblr account and to twitter, I've been a little challenged to get as organized as I'd like. Now that I'm beginning to get things the way I want, for that process, I am ready to share a handful of them every week or so, here in the drawer. I hope if you read here regularly, you'll enjoy!
Short Poems 1-5
Charming Trifles
"Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
brown paper packages tied up with strings...
cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels,
doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles,
wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings...
girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes,
snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,
silver white winters that melt into springs...
these are a few of my favorite things."
~Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music
