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

The music matters but it is not magic
That happens when words surround every note
The synergy and explosion be it soft or loud makes it worthwhile
It holds memories and moments so genuine that they hold your heart forever
Beyond taking your breath away
No matter what or when
Surviving or thriving
Lyrics go on

Things and you have changed
It's just not the same
Great memories but that is all there is
Now and then we will always be friends
You are stuck and standing still
No significant other which is sad
Wish you had a love like I have
Just so you know
Had to let you go

Safe Journey
Many dreams will come true because of you
Innovators and Imagineers will come from you
We appreciate what you accomplshed
Not only should we care for Mother Earth
We should respect her and all of you
We are all Icons in our own way
Appreciate our planet and all that share it

Older but not old
Not wasting away
Far from it and enjoy yourselves
Communities are not for everyone
Having a good time means different things to different people
Not your way or the highway
Your place and doing your own thing
Written two books and one in process
People read my poetry and are still surprised
Some bought the books
Seeing people of all ages and enjoying children
Excellent Welcomes and very Sad Farewells
Photo albums and videos help us remember
They introduce the little ones to their family
A new family member is due anytime now
Make for great stories and answers to their questions
We own our home and we worked hard for it
I still can't believe those poor young teachers did it
More to come on our journey and journeys
Still, hugging banisters and in awe of our kitchen
Maybe a second house and definitely travels.
Theatre, Photography, and attending Rock concerts
We moved in 33 years ago
Love our house
For those of you who believe you should sit on a throne with your crown
You are no better or worse than others
You might have more money but there are other riches you don't possess that others do
Kindness and Respect come to mind
My time is wasted on you
We are grateful and caring always

Billy Crystal penned it correctly for his Broadway show
You are my Wonderful pain in my A
Nobody could love you anymore than I do
Wouldn't want it or have it any other way

Cold
Gray
Nasty day for Spring
The squirrels were wet and freezing
Hoping for something to eat
No success just yet
She came by left the shelled roasted nuts in three places near trees in the park
One squirrel summoned two others
They feasted as their human walked away
Watching quietly in the rain
Here's to sunnier days and more caring humans

You can't avoid the pain in their eyes
Maybe a faded smile
Look a little longer and dig a little deeper
Sometimes the older photos have stories that we are first beginning to know and understand
There is a cost
Maybe even a gift we have yet to accept
Care about connections
You might reconnect and yet maybe not but know about them
Find out who you are and family matters
Found them yet still searching so the story continues

My Dear Old Friend
Come to talk to you again
About what is, what was, and what will be
So many pens and styles
Computer screens
Notebooks plain and colored
Lined and unlined
You were the one I talked
Ran too
Confided in
Even now
Just as I bust out bursting free
I still find the time
For you are always my first and best friend

Angels CD arrived today
So excited about last night
Musical and writing chemistry like a new planet
What fun watching
Now to listen to the CD
Been awhile since I bought one
This is well worth the wait

Memories are lovely but can’t live in them
There is magic around if your heart is open and your mind wide
When readers react to your work regardless of origin and they are taken by it
Dreams long forgotten come true
When I say I am a writer
The eight year old me remembers all the old notebooks she still owns
I have taken  my own breath away when I say I am a writer
Some dreams come true when you don’t expect them to happen
Later than expected but happening now
Still don’t believe it

You wish you had wings to soar and travel
Words awakening you at all hours have a home with you
You don’t escape until those phrases capture your soul
We do lose control but you always
find your way back
Young at heart,middle-aged,young
It doesn’t matter because you know
Writing Joy
Writers feel it way down deep

The memories are there no matter how old and yellow
Love you Daddy and miss you more than time can measure or words will ever express
Now as your second great grandson is on his way
How much you have missed
So watch over him when he joins us along with his sister and cousin
Long ago
Far away
I miss you ,Daddy

Some are most creative and beyond comprehension
For they are that talented
Some have that magic naturally
Some hoping to create and find their way
Their impact makes us better writers
You can agree to disagree
Just read and enjoy
The pleasure of reading and enjoying the talent is so much better
than the so -called talent we tune into to see
Not asking you to tune out but tune into what happens here
Hello Poetry Poets
Thanks

You can visit yesterday but don't dwell on it
Leave it as it is and move forward
Learn from it as you do your mistakes
Enjoying yourself has to become a priority
It's not selfish,it's selfless
Makes you better for others that matter
Makes you a better human being
You know what you need and want
If you are still searching
Looking for something more
Enjoy the journey at every turn

Afternoon delight developed into all night long
Time for air and water
Be gracious, grateful,incredibly warm and loving
Above all enjoy each other
In the middle of the night or all night long

Our incredible treasures and memories
Are you joking?
You are beyond comprehension

Compromised
Demonized
Lied
Denied
No Kings here
Need to be respected
Accepted
Connected
No similes or metaphors now
He is not even familiar with these literary terms
Who reads to and for him?
The words that define him are beyond the comprehension of tbe intelligent
It is all about him that is all he understands and accepts

Tom Hank's narrates the Americas
Jeff Corwin Disney
The Late Steve Irwin Animal Planet
All amazing men
Stunning Parks
Beautiful Zoos
Incredible Views
Make your heart beat faster
Bears,Butterflies,Eagles,Owls,and Oncelots
Take your breath away
Maybe that is why my adventures and travels are always accompanied by my loving husband and Nature's Bounty

Easier said than done
Applause if you can do this
Take a bow
Selfish people have never been my cup of tea
They never will be
Their noses are in the stratosphere or ionosphere
You can be poor and be selfish too
Whatever their consequences are so be it
Surrounding oneself with people like that unnerves me
Where is the exit door?
Snobs just don't cut it with me
Happy and lovely caring people are in my life

Lost you way too soon when we were twelve and fifteen
Your daughters,sons- in -law,grandchildrem,amd great grandchildren miss you though many only know of you from photographs and our memories
Just the ones in our hearts and minds
You missed many magical moments
Say Hi to Mom and other family members with you
Thanks for the Fire Rainbow today
