A Thought

Yesterday I had a thought about something in particular

This morning I woke up with it and it felt quite familiar

I can't recall the details which seem rather peculiar

but I know that it was all rather spectacular

Something which we all should add to our vernacular 

Today I will go forth and try to recall this important gem

Perhaps it will come to me while singing a certain hymn

Who knows when it will it or with what vigor and vim

There's so much info in my brain it's filled up to the brim

All I know is if it doesn't return I shall just feel a bit grim

Words Get In The Way

Words get in the way
creative concepts don't stay
Not sure exactly what to say
words get in the way

Plenty on my mind
But it's as if I'm flying blind
because I just can't find
how to say what's on my mind

It'll be easier as time goes by
to find the reason and the why
to find the words and make them fly
All I have to do is try


But for now I have to say
creative concepts just don't stay
All my ideas are out to play
And the words get in the way

Good Morning

I have clothes to wear
I have shoes for my feet
I slept in a warm bed
Woke up to enough to eat
I have some place to be
and eyes with which to see
Luckily for me
I breathe quite normally
Monetarily rich is not my ability
My riches come from friendships and family
If given a choice I would still be me
So it's a good morning
Quite a good morning to be

Patience

Patience is a virtue
I've been told time
and time again

Even still
my patience is
wearing very thin

I'm running out of
patience for a
Saint I truly ain't

This patience thing
is truly trying
but again it's
what I must do

For patience is a Virtue
and I shall be
patient for you

No, No, NO

No No NO

I don't care to go

out of the house today

With this advanced technology

they have to have the ability

to send in the clones for me

I will stay home warm in bed

no need for sugar plums  in my head

just sleep and movies instead

No No NO

I don't care to go

out of the house today

There must be a way

I can stay home and play

and still earn a daily wage

With all this advanced technology

they have to have the ability

to send in the clones for me

Lights Out In My Neighborhood

Lights Out in my neighborhood

Total darkness

That's not good

Luckily candles

I have plenty

Luckily flashlights

I have many.

I've no computer

And no tv

Sitting in the dark

It's just me

and of course

my sweet birdie.

Listen to the neighbors

cry in dismay

Some were making dinner

Others had games to play

Some are missing favorite shows

For me it's just the way it goes.

Watching flames flicker

Listening to the night sounds

Realizing once again

How the world astounds.

Forced to sit still

Forced to stay silent

All in a way

That is quite non violent.

Lights out in my neighborhood

Not spending my night as I should

Lights out in my neighborhood

Maybe it was something good.

My Colorful Companion

Little, loud and lovely
My colorful companion
Shedding feathers everywhere
making noises without care

Little, loud and lovely
My colorful companion
Every time I open the door
There's seeds scattered on the floor


Little, loud and lovely
My colorful companion
Gnawing on a favorite perch
another way to make me work


Little, loud and lovely
My colorful companion
peeping like an electronic toy
doing tricks that I enjoy


Little, loud and lovely
My colorful companion
Makes my world a better place
Thanks for sharing time and space

Beyond the Fog

Beyond the fog
A mystery
I try and try but
cannot see
What lies ahead I long to know
Which way to travel
where do I go?

Stop trying to see so far ahead
Enjoy the current moment instead
Some things are better left unsaid

Sometimes you don't need to know
Enjoy yourself, go with the flow
Beyond the fog will still be there
But will you even care?

Flexible Without Losing Yourself

Flexible without losing yourself
Compromises within yourself
Let's do it all my way
is not an option.

Seek the sunshine of your true being
regardless of those initial feelings
Demonstrate a willingness
to bring your world into his.

 Seeing how you fit together
The roads you seek aren't just for pleasure
Knowledge and adventure
are also quite the lure.

Don't forget yourself along the way
Bend don't break is what I mean to say.

Dawning of a New Day

Too content to feel dismay

Enjoy the dawning of a new day

Trying to get work done

in order to go out and play

Luckily work can be fun

Hopefully it is today

Enjoying  every moment in time

No life is one hundred percent divine

Making the most of what I have

Is that really such a crime

Life doesn't have to always feel bad

in fact it can be quite sublime

Enjoy the dawning of a new day

Enjoy every moment in time

Working hard to enjoy your freedom

O happy days here I come

No life is one hundred percent divine

but it can be quite sublime

Valentine's Day

Making favorite foods and treats

Cleaning up after stinky feet

Washing clothes

and wiping noses

Sure I'd love it 

if you give me roses.

Being asked "How was your Day."

listening to all you say

Sleeping late

as a Saturday date

telling me that "You look great"

Tiny surprises throughout the year

Just knowing that you are here

Every day you say you care

by the lovely smile you wear

Hallmark Holiday it may be

Happy Valentine's Day

to You from Me.

Ever Wonder Why?

Ever feel as if the world is passing you by?

Ever wonder why?

Get off your self doubt and try.

Ever sit and wonder why me?

Ever question why you're not happy?

No one said it would be easy.

Ever fear to take that first step?

Ever feel that you're just inept?

Failure precedes success;this you must accept.

Ever need a helping hand?

Ever wonder just where you stand?

Remember your life's at your command.

Ever wonder if it gets better?

Ever think it's a storm you can't weather?

Come with me we'll face it together.

Embrace Your Inner Child

Embrace your inner child
let the little darling run wild
experience the fire
love the desire
don't just grow old and retire.

Embrace your inner child
let the little darling run wild
remember the energy
how the world moved quite giddily
create perfect synergy
with your current reality.

Embrace your inner child
let the little darling run wild
never give up on dreams
that's a dastardly scheme
just keep shining those sunbeams

Embrace your inner child
let the little darling run wild
experience the fire
love the desire
don't just grow old and retire.

Birthday Reality

Having a birthday makes many upset

I haven't experienced that emotion yet

In my reality

A birthday is perfect

to celebrate me

Gather your friends and family together

people who love you and  think that you're clever

appreciate the life you've been given

show off your light

don't keep it hidden

It's one day of year you should

shout loud and clear

I'm proud to be me

I'm happy here

Be glad to be you

be happy not blue

invest in yourself

you're worth it

it's true

In my reality

A birthday is perfect

to celebrate me

Gather your friends

enjoy time together

life is quite short

birthdays make it better

show off your light

be brighter than ever

However you choose

don't stray away

for that one day a year

to let the world know

you're here

Do what I say and

celebrate your birthday

Pedestrians

Pedestrians have the right of way
works in theory but it's not okay
With all the technology we have today
that rule's a disaster is what I say

Look up from your phone
watch where your going
crossing without looking
your ignorance is showing


Pedestrians have the right of way
works in theory but it's not okay
With all the technology we have today
that rule's a disaster is what I say


How can you be certain
that traffic is slowing
Pick up your head
watch where your going


Pedestrians have the right of way
works in theory but it's not okay
With all the technology we have today
that rule's a disaster is what I say

Your conversation's intriguing I'm sure
but please remember to stop at the curb
Walking and talking's a fun thing to do
but remember the road's for drivers too


Pedestrians have the right of way
works in theory but it's not okay
With all the technology we have today
that rule's a disaster is what I say

Another, Another

Another day another rhyme

Perhaps it will make make sense

at another time

Another day another poem

Perhaps the start of a prominent tome

Perchance to dream is not a crime

Another day another letter

Perhaps in time it shall get better

If it's in the grand design

Another day another word

Something somewhere that I heard

or maybe read upon a sign

Another day another rhyme

Perhaps it will make make sense

at another time

Too Soon it all Begins

Morning Monday once again
Too soon , too soon it all begins
Monday morning once again
Monday Morning, not my friend

Off to the races we all take part
Sometimes it's even done with heart
For our respective businesses it's time to depart
Whether or not we wish to start

Weekend relaxation a faded dream
Time to make a dollar the daily scheme
Fulfill the lack luster desires of the management team
Put on those smiles it's time they gleam

Working for the weekend until we find a better way
Working for the weekend long hours and short pay
Working for the weekend trying to make it day by day
Working for the weekend where we finally get to play


Morning Monday once again
Too soon , too soon it all begins
Monday morning once again
Monday Morning, not my friend

Too Early

Too early to think

Where's a warm drink

to help open up my eyes?

I just went to sleep

Yet to ringing I leap

up from my bed in surprise.

It's some grand mistake

this ringing that takes

me from where I lie

Too early to think.

Too early too blink

Too early to open my eyes.

No matter which day of week

the early hours just sneak

into reality

Not a morning creature at all

but I must heed the call

that hastens me on my way

Might be too early

and yes I'm quite surly

but it's time to begin the day
