Short Yet Sweet
Clouds
JH Meares
Clouds like life swirl around
Quietly moving rarely making a sound
Sometimes the sky lacks color and vibrancy
Yet look again and see how God works in mystery
Presenting brilliant sunrises and sunsets
These colorful arrays are Eden’s coquettes
Daytime fluffy shapes suggest fanciful escapes
Yet bring us back to Nature’s amazing grace
The Pieces
JH Meares
The pieces are not in one place
The pieces never enter the same space
The pieces here are human desire
The pieces are charged with emotional fire
The pieces are sought to withstand time and strife
The pieces are creating this puzzle called life
Life isn't about Pieces
JH Meares
Life isn’t about pieces
being in place
Life is about living in
each and every space
For the mind’s eye to see
For the spirit in me
Life isn’t about pieces
being in place
Life is about finding love
In every space

Modern Day Mercury*
JH Meares
Modern day Mercury
True Social media man
Disguising opinions and emotions is part of the plan
His messenger group…strong, vocal and elite
Gifting today’s world delivering by text not winged feet
Offering romantic advice to the lovelorn
But leaving it untitled so he cannot be scorned
*This poem was written as part of the Abilene Writers Guild Flash Exercise
incorporating five words into a short work or poem...less than 50 words.
The words were: Mercury, vocal, text, advice, and untitled. Very fun, indeed.
Gorgeous fiery Burbank, CA sunset.
A Moment Poet Life with Emojis
Emoji Mystery
Emoji Mystery
JH Meares
I’m in an emoji mystery place
No clear and present emoji embrace
Feeling a bit emoji abandoned
Left alone like oceanic phytoplankton
So I’m sending my emoji warriors to call
Was worried you were taken prisoner
By unused emojis…LOL
Friendly icons joining together
Merely wondering whether
Your emojis were down and out
Or perhaps the heat presented a technical drought?
I like your emojis…hmmm…could that be code…???
Emojis encourage, excite, and silently extoll
Happy uplifting moments pleasuring the soul
But Where O Where did they go???
Emoji mystery solved today
The Emojis returned…Hip hip hooray!
Emissaries no longer needed to investigate the delay
The world can run at a challenging pace
However, sharing emojis makes it a much nicer place
Emojis again? Sigh....

Who fought the valiant fight against this insidious and debilitating disease...it robs one of one's mind...a most cruel fate.
With Love always my sweet man.
