A nightmare
Unthinkable
We are all victims if this does not end
Lift the radar and understand that troubled souls need to helped
It is a loss to Minnesota
The family and friends
The trend must end
Another horrible mistake
Caused by the tragedy of
Inhabitant of the White House along with
His cast of incorrigble characters

Sometimes gentle like a babbling brook
Other times storms and flooding
No competition with the rain
Needed an ark
They fell for someone long gone
Yesterday comes to haunt you and you are unprepared
Tears

Soft Rock Music
Old and New
No social media
Fan or Air conditioning on
Cold drinks standng by in great Thermos
Phones silenced
Hugs that go into the night
Amazing and loving moments
Easy and gentle

I love you but should not have the word but in it
You are not good enough in their eyes?
Boundaries are set for a reason
Some understand that words and sentences can and do mean more than actions
To better people,it's both
Counterproductive?
What escalates needs to be deflated and love shared
You have paid the price in your heart and your being
Agreeing to disagree does not always work
A Theory?
I love you no ifs ands or buts

Different combinations
Different techniques
The flow
The feelings
The messages
Think of the lyrics that are written
Reimagined
Not only do they take your breath away
They change your heartbeats
Taking you to places and spaces
You have never been before
Words

Carng never an issue
Kindness,wear it on my sleeve
Have had enough of Private Bone Spurs and his cast of very unfortunate characters
Trying to live in a positive light in a wotld that needs improvement,joy,and laughter
That said,had enough and will contribute to making a difference in a world I don't recognize at this.moment
No military parades for a guilty and pathetic wanna be ruler
Haven't got time for this charade and the past is over
Enough

Jonathan Groff ignites the stage on Broadway
Our craft ignites a page
The flow
The feeling
The correct word
A memorable performance and a standing ovation
A great review from readers
Maybe buy our book
Bravo no matter how you creatively ignite

Moment of Nature on CBS Sunday morning needs to be an hour long
Grebes are Aquatic diving birds
Please don’t mistake for ducks
Some fly
Some flightless
Amazing to watch
Similar to flamingoes but smaller
They are stunning dancers
Passionate and dynamic lovers
This moment will stay with me for awhile
Hope to see them and marvel in person one day
Just lovely to admire

Thanks for the brilliant rainbow that you sent me last night
Bright and vibrant colors
You were saying Hello and the tears flowed in our car
You know I hate Fathers' Day
Will wish your son- in law and your grandsons - in law
You have two great great grandsons and great granddaughter now
Please watch over them with Mom
Along with all of us
Can't spoil or wish you a great day
You left us long ago but still broken hearted
Fifteen and twelve year old girls in our hearts and minds
Just know that we love you and miss you.
Saw the Zebra butterfly earlier.
Thanks for accompanying me on my walk
I am still Daddy's girl

He looks like many winter white or beige big dogs
Many nights that seemed like they would
never end he was there
Listening to.my sobs and watch the shaking
He comforted me
He is a toy but to me no dog is more endearing and loving
He is real in my eyes
My beloved is severely allergic
Even so called hypo allergenic dogs give him hives
Sad because he loves dogs
So Pups Doggy is loved and adored
Sometimes in the middle of the night he seens to turn into the real thing
In my eyes he is
Pups

Your importance has waned
Still important but not like it used to be
Sad to say just don't recognize you at all
Want every possible magic to surround you
My life is not defined by streaming services and people who refuse to seek help because they don't recognize the need
They might not know
Not a friend's job to tell anybody but be a support system if needed and called upon to do so
Like it is

The Past is a learning curve
Don't dwell in what was
Time to enjoy
What that is up to you but do it
Regrets are useless
No need to embellish
We have all been there
Sometimes with frierds and loved ones.
Sometimes on your own
Happiness,Joy.The Very Best of Everything Always
Going Forward

How is the Universe?


You know I love you
What more can I say or do?
How vast is the Universe?
Stars twinkling in the sky
How many times does my heartbeat for you?
You know it's true
There is no limit to how far I'd go
All of this and more you know
When you are gone forever
The tears will never dry
How vast is the universe?
Stars twinkling in the sky

Great collection of pens
Grows so much but in my home office now
Notebooks and paper of all kinds
By the night table
In my bag
At the ready
Words are usually floating in my head
All hours of the day
The microcassette he gifted me long ago still works
Tune out nonsense but engage the words
As an educator I know both sides
As a student the Creative writing award in High school
Two books written and something coming in a different genre
You are all in good company because we know and understand
Started at eight years of age and paper is still at the ready

Janis Ian's song At Seventeen was my anthem for a very long time
Truth improves like vintage wine if you let it
Right now my song Is Nobody is going to rain on my parade
Despite what used to be
Long ago and closer than you think

One place
One house
With a view
Big kitchens
Lots of bedrooms
To talk
To write
To meet
Ben and Carlo do you read me
Nat and others

She listened as her eyes were going to close.
She longed to listen and see her fellow poets.
The New York soul needed to say Goodnight.
The City never sleeps but she does
Her pens and notebooks at her side on the night table
Pleasant dreams HP til next month

Please attend next month's meeting.
Love to see,meet,and hear you.

Enjoy yourself
Dance like you won a Tony and Oscar
Love like tomorrow goes on and on
Make this world a kinder and a Healthier place
To all graduates Seize it
Congrats

Why
Because it is what it is
Accept it
You don"t have to like it
How you choose to travel on your journey
Is your choice
Tune into your inner voice
Tune out the noise
Find the special in every single day
No matter what it is because it matters to you
Enjoy it any way
Don't spend your life asking why
In the Blink of an eye

Colored my Rainbow
Taught my heart to sing
You're a new planet
The most beautiful star in the sky
Colored my rainbow
Colored my rainbow
Make dreams come true
Dreaming is beyond anything I could have imagined
The gift of every single day spent with you
You are a subtle and yet vibrant color in my heart
You taught me that I was good enough
You ain't seem nothing yet ,my Love
Colored my rainbow

Remember when we listened to amazing music.
Still do.
Classics like Fogerty and CCR,Janet,Gloria,Billy,Elton,and Rod
Newies like Katy and Gaga
Attend amazing concerts and performances.
Travel and explore
Older not old
We have been in the dark for five years
Always
Kind
Loving
Caring
Helpul
Giving
Respectful
Not Judgmental
Light is calling for happier and sunnier days
Always

I never want to see or think of you ever again
Enough to break a heart, but to share the story like a joke?
The Joke's on you
Would not want to see another like this
So we told the tale, no names
Time and place are different, but once you move forward, climb your mountain.
Never look down below
Here we go forward
Lessons learned and utilized

The roasted salt-free nuts with shells were placed under two favorite trees
Quietly watching four hungry squirrels chow down without a care in the world
They knew I watched, but kept their distance, as I usually do
As I left, two ran off with shells in their mouths as if they had a date or places to go
Squirrels walk on to a new adventure
See you next week as a robin and blue jay share the nut bounty

You need to go
Nothing is great with you or about you
Hurting and broken
What makes us special
Incredible
You want to destroy
So 25 th send him packing
A field of poppies helps us remember
The brave and gallant
Two adjectives that will never apply to
Private Bone Spurs
Nothing beautiful about you or your bills
Cruel and selfish that is what you all are

My heart
My soul
My lifetime best friend
Let's me be me
Sensitive and caring
The love of my life and partner knows
Writing Poetry
My other best friend

You gave us our freedom
You fought and despite injuries
Inspite of ignorance
We won.
PTSD is still with many of you
Admiration
Gratitude
Love
Respect
Let Freedom ring
This Memorial Day
Always

In the wee hours of the morning
When walking and listening to Nature's calls is vetter than any gym
Sensations and scents in the kitchen
Lyrics that can be tweaked though sometimes leaving them be seems right
An unplanned for treat on a stormy day
Eavesdropping and ideas just come forward like falling stars
You are talking to me
Taking it in and digesing what to do as you craft and play with it
It speaks to me

Hope to visit them in the forest on their trees in California with my Canon at the ready
To capture the lovely Monarchs for a poster
Last Spring, several followed me while walking
I loved it, but knew the legend
They were those who passed on saying Hi
Hope that is true
Wishing I could soar with them
Gently flow with the breeze
Elegant Butterflies

Outdoor trash can
Six gift bags with silk flowers in it
As it drizzled it was ckwar somebody who yearned for a card or a phone call on Mother's day would have loved those flowers
Now they are on their way to a landfill
Sadly

Sweetest one
Prejudice goes away and never returns
Accepted for who and what we are
Not what others want us to be
Love is love
You matter
You care
Make a difference
Dare to be the very best that you are capable of being
The party will be international, and those invited will want to attend
Til then

Wish yours for me
Friends too
Please don't assume every womam you see is a Mother or has one
Most in Heaven
Some unknown
Some were unable by no fault of their own
Adoption is not for all
When I am wished,I nod
Happy Auntie's day to me and all the Auntie's out thete

Happy Cinco De Mayo
Enjoy bebidas and fiestas
Never minded a stormy rainy day
Ice and snow you can have
All tbe RAINY
Day song lyrics echo and play in my mind as I walk
Syncopated circles all around me
Flowing water soft and slow
Then hard and fast
Waiting for Thunder and Lightning?
You wonder if tbe sky is having a good cry?
It's refreshing and quiet
Untill the rumble comes
Raindrops

1.  Move on after you have done your diligent crying and cussing
2.  Goodbyes are difficult, but some are necessary
3. Remember, then let go time is wasting, and don't waste it
4.  In one Ear and Out the other, becoming a MANTRA
5.  You are good enough, so stop doubting yourself
Better than you know
6. Everybody is different and special
7. Donny and Debby Downer need to hit the road
8. Whatever it is ,You will get over it
9. Stop looking, and you will get found
Perhaps find the soulmate you are searching for
10. Been there and done that, and so will you!

Roasted unsalted nuts are in the park shared on the ground near three trees as is weekly. routine
An East Coast teacher quit teaching and gets paid per poem
A professional poet?
What about us?
Now, the memoir goes to PR people.
Maybe we will get to the next step this time.
There are a few along the way
I am a poet
Maybe this time I am a writer
Wish me luck

I do remember how letting you go would never make me happy
Magical, mystical, delicious, and beyond what one imagined
It was and is real
You are gentle and kind
Finest cuisine can't match this
The one and only who not only makes dreams come true but loves from a heart that knows passion and ecstasy
It is never old, though we are older
The greatest gift of my love
Better than the first time and keeps getting better

Be grateful to have another day
Make it the very best it can be
Tomorrow may never come and it is not promised
Reach deep down and enjoy what others come to expect
Expect nothing and accept the challenge to do the very best you can
As you rIse

Pieces of artist's souls.
Buying LPs,45es,cassettes,amd Cds
Cassettes are back
People learning to repair the
I can hear ny father singing The Impossible Dream
All the shows and concerts he missed and missing since his passing long ago
So his children and grandchildren are musical
No matter what you listen to
Performers you enjoy
Live music is still with us
Enjoy the music

Sweetheart, may you have a wonderful life
A crayola-colored rainbow filled  with
JOY
LOVE
PEACE
MAGIC
WONDER
Very best of everything, sweetheart
A brand new gift for all of us.
Love Auntie M and Uncle H

Gifts sometimes come unwrapped
No bows or pretty paper
Yet the contents is amazing
Very much welcomed with surprise
Early morning walks on sandy beaches
Skies changing color before your eyes
Waking up in the arms of your one and only
Unexpected pleasures and treasures

Your words are your song
They rest on the moon
To some its done off key but you sing it loud and proud
Some in the car and some in tbe shower
They never lose their power
Look to the sky
Deep in your heart
Examine the stars
Eclipse

Nineteen was awhile ago but I remember
You might have been younger but it does not matter
Just one look and you are forever changed
Slightly deranged
Your wiring misfires
You want that person so badly even if tbey don't know you are alive
You loose control.
You know your role and goal
The cold shower just won't do
To your own self be true
Or do you do exactly what you want to do with you know who?
He wanted to be friends

Not hear
Not in one ear and out the otner
Not interrupting
That is all it takes sometimes
You don"t utter a word
Did you listen?

Hopefully, it is once in a lifetime
That is the kind you want
A gift that keeps giving
What we have
You always surprise me
The moments that are endearing and cherished
Love songs almost get it right
You know your lyrics come from photographs and memories
You celebrate each other daily
No matter your significant other or partner
A band of gold is circular and never ending
The highs and lows are easier when two hearts share it
Could you be loved more?
My darling,I doubt it

Neil sang clearly and strongly
About a place I knew
Even though I am younger than he is
The streets called out
The borough came alive like it used to be once more
Though I attended college there
Lived and worked there
Moved away long ago
When I  hear Brooklyn Roads
I return no matter where I might be now

Middle class philanthropist recognizes those with warped sense of priorities
Namely the wealthy
Maybe that should go unsaid
Beyond their comprehension
Do riches cloud their point of view?
Are they that deranged?
One stroke of a pen could change negatives to positives.
Make a life come alive and fruitful
An average woman could have flown into space with those celebrities.
Jeff could afford a freebie and changed the future of women and space exploration
Science would
have greater dimensions
No matter your passion and bank account reach out to help this world
Many need help
Take the first step

Respect creatures great and small
You are not above all,
You are part of them.
A geeat community called Earth
Care and kindness go a very long way
Many song lyrics have their cliches, but this time
Reaching out to the hearts and minds out there
No matter what you can do to walk with Mother Nature and the planet
Please do it
The cost outweighs so much more
Can you imagine never seeing a monarch butterfly again?
Sorry that is not happening
Make the changes so Earth Day is everyday

My heart has been broken so many times
Surprised it is still beating
Stepped on and rejected
Bounced back in time and with good advice
Nobody listened
They were too busy rejecting who was different
Their listening skills were nil
No need to give them an answer
Just went forward on bumpy roads
Now the skills that were lacking are slowly there but I trust few
When you are hurt and used you build a big wall
My moment in time is now as I do what I want to do and have people cheering me on my journey
A little late but here goes something

Words that tumble out
Without thought
Stuck in the past
Anything new or different
Causes you to erupt
You must open your heart
As well as your mind
Unfortunately,you are stuck in gear
Try being mindful instead of mindless
Heartless
