TAG'''''''''' KITTY CAT

Kitty cat,
You're getting fat!
Imagine that!
Not be rude
But that special food
Doesn't do any good!





Tag: Coward

His First One

Look at that shiney brown hair
She has twinkling eyes
Those lips are so rosey
They seem to be calling
Simply suck it up
Forget about cooties
Give her a kiss
Don't be a coward

Tag lor??? :confused:

Looks like a free play hummmm. Is Lor gonna come back with a Tag for us??
Dose anyone want to try doing line by line or ...maybe one time, a few of us or all of us :) do the same tag topic? would be neat to see how each of us run with the same tag. ???
MMMKAY back to lor :hug: we need a topic sunshine :) ???

Hmmm...came to play, and no one has left any inspirational tag!;)lol
So, I'll give you some inspiration...
:D
Inspiration

Inspiration,
Comes from deep within,
True expression,
Has a place to begin.
Inspiration,
You can’t do without,
True expression,
Is there without a doubt.
Inspiration,
It’s felt all around,
True expression,
Can always be found!


:o
Next tag - Brave!

I'm sorry I forgot to put a Tag. Since Jamie put "brave" I'll do that one then put another.


I tried it before
but I wasn't too brave
all my friends begged me
to walk in the cave

It was dark in there
and kinda damp
I just knew we shoulda brought
a kerosene lamp

We walked around
and felt stalagmites
then I banged my head
on a stalacmite


tag >> door

When God closes a door, He opens a window.
I believe it. I believe it.
Sometimes the believing is all that I have
Standing in a room full of closed doors,
Waiting for a window to open.

Faith is standing there, trusting,
No matter how long it takes,
Because He promised to open a window
And He always keeps His word.




Tag: branches

This is not tag, sorry. i just wanted you all to see it.


ODE TO KIT-KAT


In Attleboro she was found

On the steps of the YWCA

She was half starved, and oh so week

She has no strength to play.



Just a little tiny kitten

With eyes so big and green

So very shy and loving, and I thought

How could people be so mean.



I call her Kit-Kat, and she knows

When i am going away.

And when I return she`s waiting

For she had a lonely day.



Now when i go to feed her

I have to walk her to her dish

Sometimes her nose turns up as if she knows

It`s not her favorite kind of fish.


At night she roams around the yard

And then I hear a knocking at my door,

Who can that be-and then i know

It`s my Kit-kat evermore.



TAG IS ..... BRANCHES


NANCY

Branches

We are just branches,
From the same tree,
But we are so different,
My brother and me.
It’s almost like we came
From a different tree.
We are such opposites,
My brother and me.
We are just branches,
From the same tree,
But you wouldn’t believe it,
My brother and me…

;)


Next Tag - (The) Beach

>TAG< Memories

Memories touched with blue and gold

of another autumn day,

the falling leaves beneath our feet

hovering clouds of smokey gray.


Nostalgic dreams we knew and shared

beneath an autumn sky,

fields of goldenrod, and asters blue

the lovelight in your eyes.

Memories sealed within my heart

deep in love and faith so true,

while autumn rain with sadness falls

on the golden and the blue.

tag....moonlight

I sit alone and think of you
I see you in my dreams
the flowers & birds around me at day
the stars above in the moonlight
I just look up & wonder
I want you in my arms






tag>> staircase

STAIRCASE-BMW-
Sharon was dressing
In the finest money could buy.
Silk hose and heals to finish,
All fancied up for this guy.
Twice the doorbell rang,
And eagerly she sprang
To the top of the staircase
Where she tripped flat on her face.
She canceled her date,
With bruised lip throbbing.
Sharon took up company with
An ice pack and echoes of sobbing.
--------------------
tag is- TASTE

In another skirmish against the bulge
I swear tonight I'll not indulge
But the smell of chocolate wafts my way;
No! Out of the kitchen I will stay!
Lock it up! Hide the key!
Beware the dreaded calorie!
Put a pillow over my head,
Chew a piece of gum instead,
Bury my face in a thrilling book...
Well, maybe I'll just take a look,
Just to make sure it isn't gone
But then I promise to leave it alone.
Hmm. Such a shame if it went to waste.
Maybe just a little taste...




Tag: corduroy

Hi all!

Just wanted to Say Hello!!! These past couple of months have been a bit hectic for me in my life, I needed to step back from some of my on-line activities, take a breather and regroup. I'd also been dealing with some personal issues...not everything is resolved, but I am feeling better emotionally, well at least I'm feeling stronger in that department! :D

I'm certain to be on more during this coming week and forward. Physically all is well, so no concerns there, my MS is treating me well now, so that's a good thing.

The tag is still Corduroy

They come in denim
They come in cotton
They come in polyester
They come in corduroy
What kind do you have


tag>> lollypop

Lollipop

Sticky, crunchy fun to eat
A joy to clean off the car-seat.
There isn't a dentist that don't like to meet
Little cavities created from such tasty treats.


TAG: Betrayal

>TAG< Perseverence

He thought she was lovely
But she told him no
She didn't want him
She told him to go

He thought thats just wrong
I'm a great guy
He tried to hold back
But began to cry

She looked at this man
Who had tried every trick
She gave him a smile
Who did she pick?

Perseverance didn't do it
It was that face
She approved of his tears
Twas the end of the case


tag>> video

Watching old videos,
On a rainy afternoon,
Just a lazy weekend,
In the month of June.
All these old videos,
I’ve had stored away,
Why not pull them out,
And give them a play.
Watching old videos,
Brings back memories,
These old TV shows,
Dramas and comedies.
All these old videos,
I’ve forgotten I had,
Are such fun to watch,
When the weather is bad.

:D

Next Tag - Movies

I used to watch movies, when I lived alone,
With my friends Ben & Jerry, a pint and a spoon.
Every once in a while now, I see an ad
For an upcoming show that seems not so bad,
In spite of the content that's so hard to take.
But the big problem is, I just can't stay awake.



Tag: trust

A Day in the Life ---------------That was the name of some Beatles song

I look at him
He's going again
That stupid job
Causes such pain

But they want him there
Not many know
What does it need
Where does it go

They work pretty late
Then grab a bite
But I trust my man
He calls every night

.........(A part of Billy Joel's "Piano Man" always makes me picture John & the others when they're out of town....."The waitress is practicing politics, as the businessmen slowly get stoned. They're sharing a drink they call loneliness, but it's better than drinking alone") :p

tag> dance

>TAG< Bubble gum

Bubble Gum-BMW-
I grabed a handfull of colorful fun
tasting such sweet sticky yum.
Following the directions you see
that clearly said "blow me".
The gum flew out from my lips
landed in the potato chips.
Auntie served to uncle Bill
who ate them all ,I laugh still. :p
----------------
TAG--Ladybug-

Summer's my favorite time of year
See the pretty ladybug fly
She's looking for that perfect mate
A handsome 'ladybug guy'

tag> flag

I SEE FLAGS

Lap after lap, day after day,
I see colored flags along the way;
Clear track at first when I get out of bed,
It’s a green flag I can see straight ahead.
Half way through the day the colors will change
To different shades in the yellow range...
Be careful, slow down, don’t overdo;
There’s a hazard ahead, don’t push on through.
Sometimes there’s a red one, the worst of them all,
A fatigue-induced blow-out and I hit the wall.
I know when I see orange on blue that I need
To just step aside, let the true leaders lead.
Don’t use all my strength, we’re almost to white,
The flag that reminds me it soon will be night,
And even though the clock says “not yet”,
The black flag in my body says “Now you MUST pit!”
Deep in my soul I know that’s not the end:
Someday the checkered flag says I WIN!!



tag: cattle

Cattle-BMW-
Stamped me with a number,
just like you,
lined us up together
standing in cow poo.
Nurses and doctors proding
at something fairly new,
milked my savings high and dry,
but that is nothin mooooooooooo.
To them we seem like cattle
standing side by side in this poo
but to me your a grand old friend
and I hope I am to you.
mmmmmmmmmooooooooooo
---------------------------
TAG IS-- WAX

This is not tag, I hope ya like.


A SUMMER DREAM

When summer comes, I`ll be with you,

When the roses are in bloom,

We`ll gather shells besides the sea

And take them to our rooms.


TAG ......... WAX

nancy:)

Wax

The wax on my candle is covering wick
too hot to handle, getting quite thick.
why can't I burn it down to the quick?
scraping it out....it looks like ick!

:D


TAG: In the Rain

In The Rain

Walking in the rain,
Getting soaked right through,
She missed the last bus,
Nothing else she can do.
Crying in the rain,
Washing away her tears,
She’s alone again,
Drowning in her fears.
Walking in the rain,
Shivering in the fading light,
Still a long way to go,
Let’s hope she makes it home tonight...

:hug:


Nex Tag - Fire

We could see it in the distance,
Smell it, taste it.
We thought we were safe,
But it gobbled up the tall trees
And came down the canyon.
My mother cried later
Because she carried away foolish things
And left the baby pictures behind.
I watched the smoke
From my grandmother's house;
It looked pink to me,
And I thought it was
The pink paint of my bedroom burning,
So finally I cried, too.



Tag: Sarcasm

Seizure

When I was a child
they didn't know
So I suffered taunting and teasing

The sarcasm I endured,
made me wonder
and wasn't very pleasing

Soon we knew
it wasn't my fault
What happened was in my brain

I could not truely feel
what was going on
but it caused psychological pain

...and the tag is??

Well since there no Tag i get to do anything!!!!!!!!


IF ONLY I KNEW..........

If I knew it would be the last time i`d see you fall asleep,

I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the lord, your soul to keep.


If i knew it would be the last time that i see you walk out the door,

I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for "just one more."


If i knew it would be the last time I`d hear your voice lifted up in praise

I would videoe tape each section and word, so i could play them back


If i knew it would be the last time, i could spare an extra minute or two

to stop and say " I love you," instead of assuming you would know i do.


If i knew it would be the last time i would be there to share your day,

well, I`m sure you`ll have so many more, so i can let just this one slip away


For surley there`s always tomorrow to make up for an oversight,

And we alway get a second chance to make everything all right.


But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all i get,

I`d like to say how much I love ya, and hope we never forget.


Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young and old alike,

And today maybe the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight.


So, if you`re waiting for yomorrow, why not do it today?

For if tomorrow never comes, you`ll surely regret the day...


That you didn`t take that extra time for a smile, hug,or kiss

And you were much too busy to grant someone, what could be their last wish.


So hold your loved ones close today, whisper in their ear,

Tell them how much you LOVE them and that you`ll always hold them dear.


Take time to say "I`m sorry," "please forgive me," "thank you," or
it ok"

And if tomorrow never comes, you`ll have no regrets about today.


Nothing is worse than wonder, IF ONLY I HAD KNOW!!!!!!!


TAG.......Clouds

Sometimes they look lovely
But sometimes they are grey
sometimes they make me happy
Often they ruin my day

Usually we have those grey ones here
Mid October through April days
I can't wait till the cumulous ones
Grey clouds leave my mind in a haze

(sorry I earlier forgot a tag)
tag> tree

A Maples Chat-BMW-
A fallen leaf is nothing more
then a summers wave good bye.
They're covering the little flowers,
and tucking them into bed.
That is what I thought the maples
whispered as I walked amongst them.
-----------------------
The Palms-BMW-
The palms were clapping together like many hands,
signaling an alert warning of the gray wind.
From inside, I watched the palms wave swaying.
SURE I FELT IT moving in...
A gray cement, clay covering wrap.
A barbed wire fence to trap.
Through the silver spoked bars,
I watched the trees.
-------------------------------------
TAG IS---- STARFISH-------

tag>>>>>>>>>> SHELLS

Printmaking classes

I remember them
those reverse machines
engraving the metal
rolling the ink
putting them through,
both paper and plate
those lovely shells
of my last one
that barely fit in my portfolio


tag> fudge

There once was a girl from Nantucket
She always carried a bucket
She kept chocolate in it
And could stir in a minute
Making fudge pops for to buy then to suck it

ROTFLMAO ..... (but isn't that called something else, not a poem? Is it a
limerick?) I just thought of this, didn't plan on writing it after writing "fudge"

tag>> toothbrush
