Gushes Poetry

“I opened my veins.

Unstoppably life spurts out

with no remedy.

Now I set out

bowls and plates.

Every bowl will be shallow.

Every plate will be small.

And overflowing their rims,

into the black earth

to nourish the rushes,

unstoppably without cure,  gushes poetry …”

~ Marina Tsvetaeva

Elfje:         (Cinquain)

.

shallow

not deep

a transparent person

motives on the surface

superficial

.

Haiku:

.

on oceans high tides

moon makes its monthly cycle

sailors set their sails

.

Poem:

.

it’s easy to have an awesome day
just be careful of what you say

be nice to the little old lady next door
guidance from a Higher Power implore
wants or needs, be careful what you ask for

believe that souls exist without colors
healthy children respect their mothers
the happiest treat everyone like brothers
sharing unconditional love with others

be patient with those who are innocent
be tolerant of those who are ignorant
forgive the eclectic who think they are different

just be the person God wants you to be
enjoying a life that is happy, joyous and free

.

Comment:

God’s will for me is to: be nice, be loving, be patient, be tolerant,

be forgiving and just be the person He wants me to be.

In Between

.

“I love you

as certain dark things

are to be loved,

in secret,

between the shadow

and the soul.”

.

― Pablo Neruda

.

I was going to write only once a week, Monday, on this blog

but here it is Friday, and the bug has bitten me, in between

the shadow and my soul, and the voice is yelling to be free,

hence a ditty or two.

.

Elfje:

Soul

Ethereal being

Voice inside me

My connection to God

Eternal

.

Haiku:

Define moral sense

Does the soul leave a shadow

Is it the conscience

.

Haiku:     (in the more traditional sense … seasonal)

winters long shadows

soul longs for eternity

life’s always too short

.

 don’t think so hard :  a poem … of sorts … 

.

don’t think so hard
go with the flow
don’t reveal your cards
enjoy God’s show

life can be difficult if you make it
trying to keep body, mind and soul in sync
life can be easy if you take it
all you need is the color pink

a silly day, a belly laugh
time to relax, rest and regale
take a snapshot, save the photograph
teach someone to love by using braille

call a friend, make a friend, be a friend
the Great Creator made this world a buffet
an honest effort is all you need to spend
please, delight in every moment of today

.

ME and the Boss

.

to feel better, laugh with others, not at others.
