words echo art
My eye captured the creeping vine
but it’s not mine this sweet design
colors well forth this time of year
awash in red the veins are clear
nature can’t lapse or lose its place
master’s piece, no practiced trace
I only draw that which I see
you create from nothing, creator’s glee
Season’s Joy
Ulterior is my motive
To jingle bells
Today’s prompt at Poet’s United Midweek Motif is Design. We see design everyday – where is your favorite place to look?

Yes, we should be content with how things are for they are not ours but of our Lord’s hands. Good stuff!
