“You too?”
She asked Ruth.
“How do your poems
start out?”
“They start as
a lump in the throat,”
she said.

Poem:

today is a happy day
why ? ? ?
because my attitude said so
a decision to go with the flow
today is a glorious day
why ? ? ?
because my Higher Power made it that way
it even gets better when I pray
today is a perfect day
why ? ? ?
because my God doesn’t make any junk
even better since I stopped getting drunk
today is a beautiful day
why ? ? ?
beauty is in the eye of the beholder
the Pieta was carved from a marble boulder
today is a magnificent day
why ? ? ?
because the Great Creator gave us words
spectacular, impressive, striking, glorious, superb,
majestic, awesome, breathtaking, splendiferous
today is a wonderful day
why ? ? ?
because it is my day and that’s the way I want it
hope you can do the same for your day

“How to
Write a Poem
Catch the air
Around the butterfly.”

blink
lightening bugs
warm summers night
caught in a jar
memories

Haiku:

on butterfly wings
dreams and memories fly by
ethereal seasons

Poem:
.
the beautiful garden makes me think
how bright flowers can foster bright thoughts
fountains and feeders for the hummingbird to drink
the whole world dressed in day-glow pink
the brain is flooded with the aroma of blossom
beautiful butterflies pass through on wings of gossamer
above the blue sky is filled with clouds of cotton
the children’s favorite words are “totally awesome”
the calm breeze generates thoughts of a catnap
pleasant nothings to hang one’s hat on
the jasmine vine entwines, natures gift wrap
the unsuspecting lured in by the Venus fly trap
man is the only animal that sees color
meaning Nature designed all this beauty for us
the value is more than just a few sand dollar
the big lesson is: my ego just became smaller
there is a God and it is not me
Her Universe’s design is so complex
without Him my garden could not be
and best to remember, thank God it is free.
