Poetry



I belong to the on-line Penticton Writers group, and this poem is a response to the bi-weekly random word challenge. The word this time was "big." It's 4 times in the poem - can you see it? It also is related to a series of poems and prose I write as I go walking around Penticton: hence, the title, "Penticton Pedestrian." If you'd like to see more thoughts about Penticton, go to my penandpapermama.com blog and click on "Penticton Pedestrian" in the tags in the right hand column.

Penticton Pedestrian

Beautiful sunshine, fine dancing raindrops
Interfacing summer and spring
Gilded clouds chased by wayward breeze.

Brilliant tulips, bold rainbow hues
Impressionist dabs on nature’s pallette
Green velvet canvas reflects their light.

Birdsong waltzes and pirouettes
Impertinent crow squawk answers back
Gigging together incongruously.

Blue water ripples, wispy spray
Illusory coolness slips away
Gauzy farewell to a perfect day.

Date: May 2010



My name is Norma, aka Pen and Paper Mama. I'm married to Lionel, and we have 5 kids - Taryn, Sarah, Robyn, Wendy and Peter, and six grandchildren, Tony, William, Marcus, Apollo, Hailey, and Logan - with one more on the way! Having recently lost my job due a company closure, I have decided to take the plunge, and really focus - professionally - on my passions! I love writing, tutoring, and facilitating Christian study groups. I'm an enthusiastic volunteer with Another Chance Street Ministry. And I also enjoy exercise, gardening, playing guitar, language learning, sketching, and a multitude of other interests - a "Jill of all trades."

I hope you will find some stimulating ideas here, and I'd love to hear your reactions and thoughts too... leave a note in the Guest Book, or Email Me.
