looking out the window of my life
everyones asleep even my wife

its cloudy and gray, my flag is blowing to and fro
its a cold look and no foot prints in the new snow

seeing people shuffle off to work
as i sit warm in my house with a smirk

so many things i can see
even out the baren trees

so as i look outside my window this morning
pretty sure the grayness is a warning

favorite color

COLOR
Oh my I have to confess
the color of a rainbow is the best.
The different shades in harmony
a comfort that my eyes can see.
Red , blue ,green, yellow gold,
side by side beaming bold .
These brilliant lines up stage the rest,
the color of a rainbow is the best.

really my favorite color changes with the mood I feel at the time. I have favorite color for cars and favorite color for eyes favorite color for shoes...
next tag..... FOOD ... food you eat (not food for the soul)

Food
 

Mexican, Chinese, Italian
These three sound good to me
Lots of recipes to cover
Much for my tummy to see

I love the aromas in the kitchen
Lots of spices simmer
I love the way it melts on my tongue
I love the way it makes me feel done.

TAG: MUSIC

Singer
 

THIS MAY MAKE NO SENSE, BUT HERE IT GOES.:o

SINGER

There~s an image

in my mind,

something beautiful

I keeep seeing,

it`s you becoming

everything you ever

dreamed of being.

You just put a foot

before you,

on the path you

thought of taking

and on the way ahead,

you found the light

of a dream in the making.

Sure a little rain fell

to darken the hour,

but you kept your eyes ahed

and drew on the power

you found within yourself

and in the image you kept seeing

of becoming everything (singer)

you ever dreamed of being.

I see you
In reaching waves too
Sea me back
---------------------------
okay this is one I had already written... years ago enjoy...

Grandmother ( 1991)


Show no disrespect to the ocean; treat her dear.

Its Bodies holding all of histories future so near.

All of life she gave from so deep within.

To reap her and to rape her is more then just a sin

Treat her gently for frail now, she is old

Tread oh so lightly respect and behold

NO! Grand Ocean, man should not be so rude and coarse

Upon you their faults and themselves they do force

I can hear your secrets whispering, I can hear you cry…

You can see me looking and you can hear my bottomless sigh.

good evening Ladies hope all is well


heres my animal one


I watch a horse go by in the meadow
It's far off and kind of yellow
Running strong and proudly through the tall grass
Slapping, slashing whipping the a $$
Yes it is a jack, and not a true horse
But the path it runs. It runs the same course
It feels the same beauty as it runs through the field
Knowing it's not a horse yet with so much zeal
It charges and runs through the tall grass
What I thought was a horse, is just an a $$

My Garden
 

:wink:
When I am down,

Or when i feel blue.

I go to my garden,

Where everything is fresh;

All so lovely and new...


Some perennials for shade,

and some for sunlight.

Give off such magnificent color,

oh what pure delight...


The chirping of the birds,

along with the buzzing of bees.

Blends naturs harmony,

into such sweet melodies...


Up above there are

white clouds and blue skys;

In the air i see the gentle flutter

of color butterflies.........


Rows of flowers

Roses and trees;

The wind unpon my face

Like a warm summer breeze....


My garden is tranqil,

with much joy and bliss;

The sweet whipers of softness

I never want to miss..


So to my garden i go,

from day to day;

Seeing the beauty og gods love,

MELTS ALL OF MY TROUBLES AWAY...



i hope this sprin.g. to me a garden is flowers and vegtables which to me is start of spring.....

how about children

nancy



:D:D :wink::wink: :):)

am cheating here using two that i did yrs ago when i was a sole parent of my two sons


"Waiting"
I sit here in the doctor's waiting room
My feelings and fears continue to bloom
I hope soon they find out what's wrong inside him
At every dead end my hopes become dim
It scares me to think I can do nothing for my child
But to hold him and hug him and merely smile
I want him to be well so he can enjoy a normal day
Then he comes to me and says
Dad I had another seizure, please help me
Sometimes it hurts so much I just want to be free
Free from the pain and all the sorrow
Sometimes just wishing I don't have to deal with tomorrow
My child means so much to me so much to my heart
It is not fair that a young child has to have such a horrible start
To have to go through life feeling these pains
So he smiles says I'm OK and knows not his father is slowly going insane



" The silence of the children"
I love my children so true
You ask how many, well there are two
Both of them rowdy boys I love so dear
Already I wonder where are the years
~~~~~~~~
It scares me to think of them grown
Me with no one to care for at home sad and alone
I know I need not worry about what they will do
For I have taught them always be honorable and true
~~~~~~~~~~
Knowing with all the bad things they have done
I hold no remorse, regrets, absolutely none.
They will grow to be men of truth and grace
Knowing they are men is what puts a smile on my face
~~~~~~~~~~
So remember if you have children too,
Spend time with them now, or someday you will be blue
Wondering what you did and why you are alone
Only to hear the silence of children, because now they are gone(c)

Birth

The hours in labor too many to count
the pain that's endured is quite evened out

You came to our world
on a cold winters' day
Holding you close
made the gray go away

Another came to the world
on a rainy fall day
Tiny and crinkled
seemed like a holiday

The third times the charm
a warm winter day
here you are now
almost walking away....

GRADE SCHOOL
Reading writing and arithmetic,
Staying home when I played sick
My twin brother was the one who,
Was the creep, who ate the glue,
Even the chalk coated his tongue.
Together the trouble we found was fun.
We had our own twin talk too
The school didn’t know what to do
Until the third year you see
They decided to separate him and me
So never ever again were we
In the same classes him and me.

barefoot on a country road

slow and steady i write my name

footprints in the dirt along the road

crackers and chocolate by the score
come on everyone its time for smors
feeling good feeling inspired
mesmerized enchanted by the camp fire

now its time for some scary stories
spooky eerie and sometimes gory
unbelievable darkness the night u can see so far
laying there counting and dreaming of all the stars
u think of the scary story hoping they were liars
mesmerized enchanted by the camp fire

And all is looking fine.

You’ll have to wait
A long time for your birthday!

Walking
 

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CITY! BUT I HOPE YOU MAY LIKE IT, I DID IT LAST SUMMER SO I AM CHEATING!!!!!!


As I was walking

down life`s highway

many years ago

I came upon a

sign that read

HEAVENS GROCERY STORE

When I got a little closer

the door swung open wide

and when i came to myself

I was standing inside.

I saw a host of angles.

They were standing everywhere,

One handed me a basket and said

" My child shop with care"

Everything a human needed

was in the grocery store.

And what you could not carry

you could come back for more.

Fist I got some Patience,

Love was in the same row

Further down Understanding,

you need that everywhere you go.

I got a box or two of wisdom,

and faith a bag or two

and Charity of course

I wouldn`t miss the holy ghost,

it was all over the place.

Strength and courgage had to get,

my basket almost full.

But i remebered i needed Grace,

And then i chose salavation

for that was free.

then i started to the counter to pay my bill.

As i went up the aisle i saw prayer and put that in

for i knew when i stepped outside

I would run into sin

peace and joy were alot.

Then i said to the angel

" NOW HOW MUCH DO I OWE YOU"

HE SMILED AND SAID TAKE THEM

"MY CHILD GOD PAID YOUR BILL

A LONG LONG TIME AGO"



TAG..............WHAT EVER

whatever is not a good reply
sends my nerve to the sky
strangers and kids too
gonna lock em all in a zoo
a person ask's for a reason
not to be treated as a special season
so when i ask a question make sure you never
look at me like deer in headlights and say whatever


jamie i liked that poem on leap year was not an easy subject

Cosmic Rays huh? hummmm... probly not what you had or have in mind but it is what came to my mind....

SIMPLICITY
Some of me , to ALL of you .

A sail of words billow threw,

I dash above to conceive.

Float then soar, mastering drift.

Surrender me… coaxing lift.

Those grounded may not perceive.

Angles waiting eagerly.

Light wings unveiled willingly.

Give open slow to receive.

Rhythmic riffs dispensary.

Stimulate high sensory,

Energies rise to achieve.

When spirits reach , touching light.

Flocks of angels take to flight.

Giving visions I retrieve.

FAST CARS -BMW-
Melting rubber on the tar,
Going fast in his car.
Passing close on a curve,
Maneuver quick, violent swerve.
Street racing with his friend,
Suddenly crashing end over end.
Ugly wreckage strewn around,
Car and body peppered the ground.
Safety belt was never used,
A simple fact that’s so abused!
Street racing fun? Maybe so...
wish he had buckled up before the “go”.

Winning

Winning isn’t everything,
It’s how you play the game,
That’s what they tell you,
But it doesn’t feel the same.
Winning isn’t everything,
But it really is the best,
A fantastic feeling,
Being better than the rest.
Winning isn’t everything,
But it can go to your head,
You feel invincible,
You believe what’s being said.
Winning isn’t everything,
But you know it’s not true,
It’s what you strive for,
And it means everything to you!

Smiling is infectious,

you catch it like the flu.

When someone smiled at me today,

i started smiling too.

I passed artound the corner,

and someone saw my grin-

When he smiled I realized,

I`d passed it on to him.


I thought about that smile,

then i realized its worth,

A single smile just like min,

could travel round the earth.


So, if you feel a smile begin,

don`t leave it undetected.


Lets start an epidemic quick

and get the world infected.

TAG: Trails

OK now, you asked for it. A 5 minute poem on "Trails" :


TAG: Fences

Candles
 

:winky::hug:
This is not to do with fence. but here this goes.

Find a place in house that is quiet. Get a chair and place

it in the middle of room. Now; put a white candle to the left, front

right, and back of chair, Light them then sit in chair You`re surround

by lights that protect you.

In your mind, take yourself to a seashore, and put your

back against a palm tree. Place your feet in the warm sand. Feel

the sun on your face, the breeze in your hair. Look up at the

clouds and take 3 deep-breaths, Feeling all the negativity and

hurt flowing out, into the waves against your feet.

It is so nice to get away to a place to be able just to relax,

just let the stress down from the days and months.



:wink:


I have no idea if this makes any sense to any one, let me now if it makes sense to you. I am in this weird mood tonight...


TAG IS ............ HOW ABOUT FUN:D

NANCY

WAY AWESOME WIIX :circlelove:
sorry I dont feel like doing a tag right now I just feel like being lost in the writings and the arts of others.
Peace
BMW

I do believe "Fences" are still up for the grabbing. :D ;) :p Come on, SOMEONE!! I want to do another poem!! This is SO fun!!! :winky:

Okay, Wiix, this is just so you can keep your creative juices flowing. (Mine are dried up.)

Fences (rhymes with senses)

"Desperado"

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you, before it's too late

Okay, I guess "fences" is still up for grabs, so you can either use that or "belly button lint."

Snicker...:p

Oh God, your going to Kill me, Girl!!! :eek: And that was a song. You didn't make that up in 5 minutes like you are supposed to. :o

Belly Button Lint???? :eek: AWWW crap. http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/im...onsb/crazy.gif OK, I'll give it a shot. BUT if I come up with nothing in 5 I will come back and tell you that Your belly Button Lint is Still up for grabbing. :p;)

OK, I did SOMETHING:


TAG: Sneakers

Hey, that was dern good for 5 min.! Cute pic, too! Zat you, Wiix?

Tanks. :D :p

Well?? Where ya be?? I be waitin on ya. :D :p

FENCES
I used to like them
They made the best neighbors
Blocked sound, held my privacy
But Then I had a barbed wire fence
Inside my mouth, IT wore me 16 WEEKS
The first time , 24 weeks a second time.
I dislike any fences now,
Chain links and iron gates
Board on board, White picket
They all make me remember it.
-----------------------------------
okay I probly should not have done tag today but the tag needs to change from fences as fast as it can any way , anyhow . Really I do appologize pain flare up the last few days and fences just hurt me just thinking about them.

SNEAKERS-BMW
I love barefoot time
Toes upon the ground
After the rain has fallen
Or fresh grass mowed down
Squeaky sands of the beach
Underneath my heals
Nothing is any more comfy
Then how barefoot stepping feels.
Keep your sandals, fancy heels
and your socks and shoes
Sneakers can stay by the door
They give my feets the blues
