I hold
Today in my hand
What shall I do with it?
Use it for good before its gone?
It’s my choice
I can choose to just waste it
And throw it all away
Or expend it
For good

Writer’s Question
What should I write about?
Something I seek or see?
Something that deserves a shout?
What should I write about?
Things that I believe or doubt?
Something I hope or dream will be?
What should I write about?
Something I seek or see?

Poetic Paradise
Did
You ever
Wonder how
Poets find sleep?
Or what they might think
In those dark night watches?
As they contemplate slumber?
Are their mind’s in calm repose?
How do they enter into somnolence?
Poets count syllables instead of sheep!
Etheree
Armored and Able
Believer be aware
Always put on your armor
Wear it daily
The lion sleeps
But he will arise again
So be on guard
Your great adversary
Is as a roaring lion
Wanting to devour
The lion slumbers
But he will again awake
So be wise
Be spirtually ready
Don’t be caught off guard
Always be vigilant
For the devil
Is as a prowling lion
Seeking to devour
Stand against him
Wearing the Armor of God
He will flee.

Golden Rule
Do unto others
As you’d wish them
To do unto you in all things
Practice everyday and you’ll be
A winner

Hairy Experience
Madame de Pompadour
Her hair couldnt fit thru the door
So she sat outside instead
Til birds nested in her head
And caused a great uproar
Limerick
Regeneration
Day by day the same
Routine is like clockwork
Until suddenly came
A fresh wind blowing blessings
Ordinary was no more

Expressions
The words
You speak
Charm me
But then
Your loud
Actions
Erase
Them all
Syllabic Verse
“Actions speak louder than words” —Author Unknown
Sources say that this expression dates back as far as 1628. It was first used in its current form in the USA by Abraham Lincoln in 1856.
Voice Value
Think before you speak
Realize the value of voice
Your words have worth
They can wound and break a heart
Or uplift and heal instead.

Happy Face Hill
Traveler’s delight to see
Nature smiling
Haiku
I actually happened to see this while
my daughter and I were driving back from the Oregon Coast!
Near Willamina, OR. I spotted what looked to be a big happy face high on the hill to my right.
“Is that a Happy Face up there on that hill?” I asked my daughter who replied “It sure looks like it!”
After stopping to take a picture she did an internet search and found an amazing story regarding the Big Smiley which you can read by clicking this link:
