Cheese

“Poets

have been

mysteriously

silent on the

subject of cheese.”

reborn

new start

changing bad habits

aspirations for better living

rejuvenated

news to influence

listening to the talking head

opinions disguised

assuming that no one thinks

what can one person do – vote

.

Poem:
.

mermaid kisses and starfish wishes
remembered dreams that are so delicious
light and airy, a contented happy heart
every moment a chance to have a fresh start

whatever happens it is God’s will
don’t give credence to a molehill
for the best life move on and accept
the universe knows that we have wept

relax, no worries, no frown
don’t let the little things get you down
go with nice people and go to good places
kindness is always rewarded with graces

an enlightened soul rolls with the tides
enjoying sand dollar millions and unicorn rides

Abandoned

A poem

is never finished,

only abandoned.

left

gone away

nobody at home

only spirits rapping, tapping

alone

Senryu:      5-7-5 ( Haiku with people and their emotions/feelings as a topic)

.

how much do I love

who decides when it’s too much

feelings in balance

Poem:

.

celebrating the holidays
historical events that we praise
a day for families to get together
always praying for good weather

for some families it is the patriarch
for others cultures it is the matriarch
hopefully the clan has a funny court jester
and in this corner the prudish aunt Esther

stories retold year after year
hugs and kisses, much good cheer
kindness and love makes it quite right
sober families never have a big fight

favorite  recipes and desserts galore
keeps everyone coming back for more
children and adults playing a game
the winner gets bragging rights to claim

day is done, no one wants to leave
the time flew like you can’t believe
each and all clamoring for next years encore
memories to keep for evermore
