The Day Worth Living

.

“It was only a sunny smile,

and little it cost in the giving,

but like morning light

it scattered the night

and made the day

worth living.”

.

~ F. Scott Fitzgerald

purpose

anticipated outcome

guided planned actions

quality of being determined

intention

what really happened

unraveling mystery

count only the facts

it was not a fairy tale

no trolls or ogres involved

.

Poem:

.

to write a ditty
you must be witty

sarcasm is not included in the flow
crazy should come from the elbow

to be a wit you should never submit
but to others wit you should admit

when in doubt just write the pun
you will find that it is so much fun

so when your words begin to fail
just go to the local rummage sale

Nothing Is Always Something

.

“Don’t you just love

poetry that gives you

a crinkly feeling

up and down your back?”

.

~ L.M. Montgomery,

Anne of Green Gables

Elfje: (Cinquain)

.

nothing
to see
with eyes closed
use the other senses
something

.

Haiku:

.

welcomed steady rain
water to refresh the earth
giving life to all

.

Poem:

.

nothing is always something
seeing is never believing
fingers and heart are touching
hearing can be very deceiving

words can be extremely confusing
know it alls will say anything
accidental puns are amusing
blessings reside in the fairy ring

love can mean so many things
a kindness is never wasted
bells toll when the angel gets its wings
when will peace be created

something does not have to be an action
nothing can give rise to moral satisfaction
