Last Tuesday I read about #gratiku poetry on Erika Victor’s blog.
Gratitude + haiku = gratiku. I thought gratitude was an important thing to have these days. Take time to be grateful. That’s what I will be doing each day in November.

Always just on-time
Now God arrives again–though
Waiting’s not easy

Rich milky goodness for me
Grace in a teapot

Mashed potatoes and
Gravy for dinner will do
Tasty comfort food

Petrichor sweetness
Rains have arrived in Bahrain
Greetings, third water

Early Thanksgiving
Fried chicken and pumpkin bread
Welcome gifts from friends

I thank you God for
the dancing tingly cool breeze
and green that bests gray
23
Welcome breath of God
swelling our sails to get us
to the other shore
22
Yes, leadership and
learning are vitally joined
How else can one lead?

Go further up, further in
Renewing this world

Rung in a fine wheel

Calculate the election
Every single vote

Guiding us through voting day
Centering on God

Afternoon naps with
A blanket on my cold feet
After that, iced tea

Pausing and thanking
When I forget all the good
Help me refocus
