So Much FunÂ
Each decoration
added
one at a time
to shift from
summer
to autumn fun
and let
the world see
that Halloween
isn’t scary
at all
but instead
is a time for play
writing activity
Gideon’s Challenge – Day’s End
Day’s End
I am so ready
for today
to be over
and life
to settle into
evening quiet
as the stress
of today
is left behind
except…
it doesn’t seem
to want
to stay back there

Gideon’s Challenge – The Happy F*ker
The Happy F*ker
He said hello
with a smile
in a little shop
hidden
on an alley corner
and his eyes
seemed to
follow me
around the room
until finally
I broke down
and smiled back
and decided
to take him home

Gideon’s Challenge – EncouragementÂ
EncouragementÂ
A vulture
coming in
for a meal
or a falcon
hunting
on high
as clouds
speak to me
of opportunities
to seize
and moments
when we set
our aggression
free

Gideon’s Challenge – Tiny Blooms
Tiny Blooms
Pops of color
like the laughter
of children
on a quiet day
spill out
over the green
and lighten
the air
with the
lightest kiss
of joy shared
with the world
