Two I can do without but they are out there
Ignorant and Imbecile
Preferences are idealistic, iconic, imaginative, incredible, innovative,
impressive, inspiring, and intuitive.
I words.
As for the first two, we know to whom they apply.

Do you recognize the changes we just make?
Stories told well have a beginning ,middle,and an end
History repeats itself
Healed and not broken
Divided and apart
Parallels
Fights have to be fought
Get the History correct
The facts straight and right
We are divided but somehow someway
We need to become one country
Healing and discovery necessary
Agree to disagree
Stop judging and start caring
Move forward and stop living in the past
Tune in and stop tuning out
Remember and stop listening to lies and distortions
Together we stand
Divided we fall
There is an alternative reality that is not justified
Facts have three sides yours,theirs,and the truth
Just like 911 changed us
We have fallen and we need to be United
Legitimacy versus illegitimacy
The consequences need to be punished and the color orange comes to mind

C@rainbowchaser2022

Read your words and my breath was taken away
Your descriptions touched my heart
Reminded me why I write and craft
The words call at all hours
You are a seeker of truth and kindness especially given our latest toil and issues
It is risky being a writer but dear Poet we will rusk and walk with you
Your emotional rescue is applauded

C@rainbowchaser2020

What writers are made up
Dreams and reality
Truth and joy
Agony and triumph
Tears that became smiles
Hugs that were presents some always cherish
You find out quickly what magic people possess
My circle has magic some cannot see but those who can know how lucky they are to have you in their world
Both of you are treasured gifts

C@rainbowchaser2020

Rest in peace, Congressman
You will be remembered with great affection and hope
Carl, you and Mel put the C in comedy
Write gently like ebony velvet wings caressing a summer wind
She was floating by me recently
Be familiar with what was and be ready to embrace what is and what will be
We are losing the greatest generation and must hold them dear as every day another is called home
John, Carl, and others
Some well known and others well loved
Not a typical summer but right not that is what we have
Typical went out the door six months ago

C@rainbowchaser2020

Happy Passover to those that celebrate!

That is all we need
To hear your voice
To see you smile
A gentle hug for a little while
The photographs and memories are reminders
That is all we have left and need to make more of
While people enjoy a holiday that is harder to celebrate then most this year
Many of us know who we lost and they can be found
Just as long as we remember and stick around
If you are missing someone just take a moment

@Rainbowchaser2020

Be kind
Be thoughtful
Be careful
Be mindful
Be respectful
Be happy no matter what and when
Enjoy every moment as best you can
Until the end calls
Just be real and who you are

C@Rainbowchaser2021

Turn off the noise
The Digital Media and Technology
Open your senses to sights and smells
Rainy day?
Just guess for it
Nature will entertain you If you let her
Just breathe
Just be

@rainbowchaser2022

You didn’t know
You didn’t understand
Memories and demands
Happy ones are joyful
There will always be a smile
Sad ones  just like pelting rain and thunder
Stormy days seem to stay and linger more than awhile
All the lessons learned in school and life
Some forgotten but not the Golden Rule
Love
Respect
Care
Be Kind
Be Positive
Be Good
Listen carefully
Just Because
C@rainbowhaser2024

Words come to call any time of day or night
Try to remember to record them or write them down
You polish  and perfect
Searching for a different more original way to say it or write
Do I dare call myself a Poet?
Like tbe greats,unknown,and up and coming
Just because I write Poetry

@rainbowchaser2024

the presents wouldn't fit in any room anywhere
the desserts would keep coming til we make more
the comfort in knowing it is real and nothing will ever change that
this is meant to be
as it is
how it has always been
just you and me

C@rainbowchaser2019

The art all around me
Echoes of what was and what is
What could have been
You stop and take it in
Your senses know
It is more than ok to be and who I am
Think carefully
Before you speak
Think about the damage your words can do
It’s a lot more than just me and you

C@rainbowchaser2024

That sweet cute little face
Trying to jump out of her pet carrier and into a stranger's arms
Those olive brown eyes looked more human than canine looking straight at me
You didn't want me to leave but you were behind me on the plane
Though your human mom kept reminding you that we played while waiting but not when we fly
Havanese puppy with silky hair and bewitching smile
You can't come home with me or any other dog for that matter
My beloved is so allergic that hypoallergenic dogs cant be with us or near us
Just one look let's me walk twenty five miles a week for the ASPCA
My daily doggie fix

C@rainbowchaser2021

You are supposed to learn from your mistakes
Learning should take place everyday not just in a school
No age limit so be open to that
You have to move forward and not stand still
Tomorrow is not guaranteed
Make the most of today even if there is not much to make the most of
Enjoy your friends and keep them they are a gift that keeps giving
Put your self first and take good care even I am guilty of not doing this
You are are of no good to those you love if you don't
Just remember
Just remember

C@rainbowchaser2021

She closed her eyes but felt that look
Across a crowded train
Too many people
Not enough moments
No head shakes
No hellos
No capture of a smile
Just that look
That haunts him still
Wonder if he ever found you
Wonder if you found him
Just that look

C@rainbowchaser2022

Loyal
True
Warrior heart
Private and caring
Quiet and introspective
Traveller and explorer
Small groups not loud noisy crowds
Exception concerts and Broadway shows
Just the way it is
Just the way she is
C@rainbowchaser2021

Let children be children
The joy ,the wonder, the magic should evolve and never leave
Respect, appreciation, care, and consideration are very golden rules
Keep them shiny in your life
Look what happens when they tarnish
Let them explore their world with HAPPY hearts
Teaching Hate gets you nothing
Just ask loved ones and families from Parkland, Newtown, Buffalo, and Robb Elementary school
In Uvalde Texas
Just too much and enough is enough

C@rainbowchaser2022

The simple joy and laughter
The glee
The magical smiles
A Santa Gift bag they can crawl into or explore
Chock full of toys from family that adore them
While they are still little and precious
Maybe next year but they will get them
A video or photo will suffice
Wish we could have seen this in person
Some wishes are not granted
At least Santa and his helpers came by for them

C@rainbowchaser2021

Find tbe magic within you
Rules are made to be broken,changed,adapted
and utlized
No matter how much you love or care for someone
You must be stronger than you knew and pull yourself
through to higher ground
Just who we are
Who we would we would never be in our wildest dreans
We could be or achieve and believe
Just who we are
C@rainbowchaser2023

It isn't old because we make it new
Every single time I look at you
Sure there are photographs and memories
There are moments shared that only we get to see
So if it is laughter
A private twinkle in your eye
A comment that we share that is not for others ears
Even if us is brand new or lasted many years
Keep Falling
Forever falling in love
You can't love someone too much
It is the greatest gift
Love is to be fresh, exciting and new
That is the story of me and you
I am very sure others too

C@rainbowchaser2022

You might not approve of the action
The words might sting and hard to believe or difficult to digest
Acceptance takes awhile
Is it worth a sleepless night?
People change for better or worse
Mourning what was is futile
Move forward and if things are meant to be or improve
So be it
If not
Keep it to yourself and Journey on

Joy
Peace
Love
Kindness multiplied
Care
Sweetness
Happiness
Happy and Healthy New Year
If you celebrate or.not
Be careful
Be safe
Make choices good for all not some

Empathy
Sympathy
Know tbe difference
No matter the experience or situation
Empathy stands out
You can care
You can relate and understand
Respect privacy
Knowing the difference makes the wrongs and sorrow easier
to digest and accept
Making a wrong right is not easy

C@rainbowchaser2022

How it beats
Who it beats for
Your passion
Your strength
How to treat it when it heals and breaks
Remember wounds that run deep
Knowing your heart and my love goes with you

C@rainbowchaser 2023

Donations are still being made
Crises all around housing ,Insurance,picking up the pieces if there are any.
Tears that won't dry
Core is helping people with shelter and moving forward
Coordination with FEMA too
If you can do nothing more than say a kind word or donate the multitiude of charities helping people and animals
Love to LA

They have soul
Some in control
Love like there is no tomorrow
Await another day to show you just how much they care
Some come first
While others wait with patient abounding
They are women with little girl hopes and dreams
I am someone's Lady
Ladies I hope all joy and happier moments surround you
We have all had to find a different way to build a mountain

c@rainbowchaser2021

Some rules are made to be bent and broken
Adapted, if you will
Some truths are never spoken
Even when you get it right
What some hold true and powerful
Finds a way out of the door
Never returning again
If you hold it dear, Keep it close to nurture it
If you need to set it free do so
Let the excuses go and never return
If they come back in another form
Landing gently

C@Rainbowchaser2024

If Heaven and tbe Rainbowbridge had visiting hours
How I would embrace Hellos and moments
Just know all of you are missed upon measure
Seeing you from the rainbow

c@rainbowchaser2019

You were beaten and abused
Left with a scar for life and *****
They told you no company and lock doors
They never said strangers in elevators are nit to happen
When parties and growing up should have mattered
Nobody to tell or help so back to school you go
Your parent dies upon and on you and the guilt seems to linger still
Two major traumas you kept locked inside
But you wore your key on your neck
Did as you were told
No friends
Clean the house
Do your homework by five
Cook dinner pre microwave days
This is our house and we do as we **** please
Talk back and the strap comes out
One look made that unnecessary but it, still looms
Have they done a study about those kids
Lonely kids with nothing but rules and regulations
Have become artists in many walks of life
That for them was the only thing to come out, from under
Living and loving life
Did that lanyard cord with a key around your neck make it wrong or right?

C@rainbowchaser2021

You should learn something daily
No matter your degrees and education
You don’t know it all and probably never will
As we evolve and move forward
We learn from history but we don’t live there and perhaps should not
Dwell on what was and what might have been
Let it go
No matter how you learn just don’t stop
Age brings wisdom but not all the answers
What is fake are those that are one-sided and set in their ways
You should believe as you wish but judging others based on that ia another story
An old one
Open your mind
Read
Experience things you never gave a second thought to delving into
Give Social Media and AI a rest
You will hopefully be surprised and learning for the next step

C@rainbowchaser2024

Mascara streaming down her face
Crimpled plane scheduled
Bags sitting to be checked
The arrivals boards left her confused
Crying out Mi Novio
A flight attendant offered help
The pilot left her crying and the plane was delayed
another day at Kennedy airport

C@Rainbowchaser2021

Paper
Lined and blank
Notebooks of various sizes and colors
Some old school
Others unique and inviting
They call to me
Different locations and times
Though a microcassette recorder is available
Not wanting to wake my Love
My friends and their pens wake me gently because we need to talk again
They always listen
Since I was eight
Still my best friends espevually those I filled and look firward to filling

C@rainbowchaser2020

Podcasts are tremendous
The best ones make it a delight to listen
A skill many of us are lacking in
Stop listening to yourself  talk and you just might learn something
You take a beat
You take it in
You become real and discard nonsense and phonies
Realize when you are challenged
When you ***** up
When you should apologize and learn from it
It is not what you say but how you say it
Self-editing is a great gift
It lends itself to many things and roads
Writers understand this

C@rainbowchaser2021

Did his smile warm you?
Did his blue eyes light up your life?
Chase the gray away
Hope for tomorrow and helping today
When he tells you at two and a half that he is
Leo welcoming you into his world
The old soul in that little face
Leo Sunshine
Leo Sunshine
Leo Sunshine
It’s how he tells you and the wonder around him
He takes you in and shares it with you
Leo Sunshine
Leo Sunshine
Leo Sunshine
Nobody could be so sublime
In this place and time
Like Leo Sunshine on my mind
C@rainbowchaser2021

Dedicated to our nephew

Did his smile warm you?

C@rainbowchaser 2023

Dedicated to our nephew

Should have never listened
Her truth not mine
Looking back needed to move forward
Couldn't play her games
Her rules were not honest and true
Maybe just for her because she had to be the winner
How can you love somebody but not like them?
I did
I do
Heaven only knows these lessons
Took another set of eyes to see what I was blind to see.
I was an enabler.

Living in words
A different imagination
In discoveries, vistas, and memories
The latter lives on in my heart and my dreams
They are who were and what was
Part of what is and part of what might be
As well as what is around the corner
You don't miss what you never had so they say
Once you find it, it is a treasure
See, I am still searching and finding out who I am
Those not able to accept that are shown the door
See, still a work in progress and learning until my presence here is no
longer required
There will be those to carry on and will remember me
Lesson still learning
His story
Her story
Stories
You don't get now without then
Tomorrow isn't guaranteed


C@rainbowchaser2021 was

Been there
The floor is not for me
Persistence helps
You need to work on it and through it
Everyday and you must see be patient
Let somebody that knows how to help , help you
You never give up on yourself then you deal with others
You have to come first even though you have to learn to see that
Let's say I know
You are worthy

C@rainbowchaser2021

When the talking stops
When the words do nothing
Just put them on the back burner
Be there when called upon
For the time being, let them deal
Let their Drama Go

C@rainbowchaser2024

If you enabled them
Shame on you for letting it go that far
Shame on them for not stopping you
Part of their toxic complexion and makeup
Now that you set yourself free
Be sure to take the very best care if yourself that you can
Somehow along the way you lost sight of that
Be happy for them
Leave the door ajar
Never say never
Let them be gone

C@rainbowchaser2021

Easier said than done
Not Elsa's Disney smash
For some this is merely survival and a piece of cake
Some can go with the flow
While others like us Sensitive ones cant until we are ready
No rush, no pressure but whenever finally comes be ready to let it and them go
Letting go lets you bring them back when you are ready or say Farewell and move on

C@Rainbowchaser2020

No longer want to be a doormat
Co-Dependency doesn’t work for me
The way you live your life and see the world
Is a journey which leads me to no where or anywhere I choose to be
May all of your dreams come true
May good health and happiness befriend you and yours
We have had yesterdays but no tomorrows
Been there
Done that
Letting go
My life is not a show on MeTV
C@rainbowchaser2018

A noisy crow flew overhead greeting friends, loved
ones, and unsuspecting humans
Sorry I have not written but needed a break from each other
You know that I can’t stay away too long from you
Have to let go temporarily of two people that matter
The Debby downer stuff is getting old but will respect it from a distance
Just as we turn the corner and happier days are hopefully ahead of us
Just have to let them go knowing in the future things will improve and we will enjoy the friendships that have stood the test of time
Letting them go for now.

C@rainbowchaser2023

We know time is not on your side
You are letting go but then you fight back
Then square one returns the next day
We have done our utmost and very best
There are days of heartbreak and aggravation
Hopefully others will never deal with
Deal we did
You were given 91 years on earth and somehow
this might be your last curtain call
Take a bow,Mom
You miss Daddy and perhaps you are letting us know it is time
for you to reunite with him
Easier to cry as I write as I have prepared myself
Letting you go is coming soon
Hopefully pain free and easy

C@rainbowchaser2020

Grieved it
Knew it would happen this way
My head is held high as I walk away
You left me alone but that works better for all concerned
Not lonely and loved beyond measure by someone you never accepted
Enjoy your life and times
Let you go for the better

C@rainbowchaser2018
