The Influence

“Only the very

weak-minded

refuse to be

influenced by

literature and

poetry.”

Poem:
.

let the smile be your umbrella
lucky are those who can sing acapella
music and laughter, a joy to be alive
a light heart will make the soul thrive

the best act is to be responsible
followed by being accountable
always choosing to do the next right thing
also being willing to change everything

the smart are those with a brain that is flexible
even luckier are those who understand technical
a Higher Power to guide ones thinking
forever avoiding the attitude that is stinking

may all of your dreams be in technicolor
earning the accolade of worlds best lover

Genuine

.

“Poetry

…

… a place for the genuine.

Hands that can grasp,

eyes that can dilate,

hair that can rise.”

.

― Marianne Moore

Elfje:    (Cinquain)

.

eyes

grow wider

seeing is beieving

how could that be

magic

.

Haiku:

.

listening to the birds

natures sounds so melodic

happiness and joy

.

Poem:

.

sitting on the fence rail
pondering the choices to be made
should I, could I, would I
why am I always so afraid

forever having fun
lessons never learned
selfish instant gratification
all those bridges that I have burned

as the Dutchman always said
too soon oldt, too late schmart
if you mind, does it matter
everyone must read Descartes

reverie over, make the decision
listen to the heart that God made
it knows to do the next right thing
without the need for an accolade

happiness, joy and freedom
blessed by a light from above
conscious, aware, sensing the vibe
enjoying the souls best feeling . . . love
