They visit when least expected
Ideas awaken you softly and sometimes louder than a parade
You must seize them
Coax them gently
Craft them
Do what poets do best
Write with words

Only the Bullied
Learn to Accept
Few or no friends
Frenemies?
They just have enough
No more
No less
They don"t expect
They were strippec of wanting anything else
When you are excluded
When your parent calls you Plain Jane
Made to sit with boys at school
You are not pretty enough by their standards
Your clothes are not nice enough
Your metal braces and rubber banded teeth don't fit in
You catch them doing things in school bathrooms thaf you wish you never witnessed
These memories come back to haunt you later on
No matter how successful you have become
Only the bullied know why children should never ever get away with doing this to others
Even now

Children
Taught them
Teach those that do
Nieces and nephews galore
Violent crime took the opportunity away when she was younger
Maybe that is why Mothers and Fathers Days are hard for many reasons
Yet,he loves her
Yet,she loves him
Never meant to be but
Love conquered all so cruelly taken

Ebony petite Ducks,Egrets,Seagulls,and Swans
Happily swimming and
eating
Flying into the blue
Still wishing I could join you
Jumping and enjoying the breeze
You've got to be carefully taught is an old song
With older lyrics and thoughs
You"ve got to be taught to lusten,read,and see
Think carefully and use common sense
Be aware and true to yourself
Hopefully adults and children will contiue learning

School is not the only place to learn
Everywhere and every opportunity to be taught better

Your pain
Your disappointments
Your losses
Your mistakes
Then the rain stops
Storms end
Rainbows appear
Hopefully the dark clouds  become tbe Bluest  of skies

A six letter word with impact
Either we accept it or we struggle
What stays the same matters
What we remember and enjoy
We celebrate
The Kennedy Center will never be the same again
Said with sorrow and disgust
Culture and The Arts matter so much
The change within is another matter
We are better together
So look inside and think of others
Selfishness just does not work
Take care of yourselves
Remember some change requires us to adapt
Change for the better
Sometimes leaving well enough alone is the best choice

Tiger swallowtail butterfly accompanied me on my walk
Trying to live a positive and happy life
As of late, I find these words dancing and stomping in my head
Unprecendented
Illegal
Incredulous
Ignorance
Immoral
Chaos
Cruelty
Selfish
Insensitive
Rhymes with Dump
Rhymes with Dusk
Quid
Pro
Quo
Impeach
