You gals are great! I'm in awe. Be sure to consider sending your work in to Oprah...

This year the weather was the pits,
gave people all around the US of A fits.

Cold in the southern states and they even saw snow,
climates usually wintery saw not much more than winds blow.

Here in the desert no one was wearing swimsuits,
in fact if it rained any harder they'd be wearing hip-boots.

But soon all will change, no snow a-top the mountain range,
frying eggs on HOT blacktop, is a summer sport though strange.

I have lived in the Midwest, back East and out West,
Never made it down south yet, want to go to feel Southern lifes zest.

I would happily sell my home and buy a medium size RV,
tour all of these United States. just me, and sweet Sassy...

Poetry

Poetry is a release,
I write for fun and games,
Not expecting recognition,
Or anyone's acclaim.

Others here seem geared,
With more professional skills,
And they're welcome to show Oprah,
If that's what their spirit wills.

I must agree with you jabber,
my poems are to me just so much blabber.

I write for my Boomer buddies to read,
glad there are no rules of contest to heed.

My mind works in very mysterious ways,
my words roam far and wide on many days.

Good luck Oprah's contest, and to all who enter there,
but as far as I am concerned this is where my poems I'll share.

Chatty, you and me, it seems doth think the same,
'Bout this silliness we call, the poem writing game.
Love putting poems together, but only for fun,
Certainly not for worldy fame, or I never would've begun.

Poems feel like a spiritual lift,
Overcoming heaviness, what a beautiful gift,
Juggling words here and there,
Makes life's problems much easier to bear!

Why would anyone take credit,
For something they love to do?
Don't think that I will,
And it sounds like, neither will you!

Chatty,
I'm your biggest fan! You are awesome too! Guess it's a mutual
admiration society we've got goin' here! LOL...

ICEBREAKER

Got blusterin' winds, colder than cold,
And I don't mind sayin'
It's gettin' mighty old.

Then an invisible person happened by,
And took my heating pad,
Though I don't know why.

Could've use it, for warmin' pieces-parts,
Stuff like tiny, frozen toes,
And skin that's fallin' apart.

Would someone tell me, please,
Who took that doggone pad,
Fore I begin to boil over,
Or start gettin' real mad.

But then again, rethinking it,
Perhaps throwin' a major fit,
Would be the very best way,
Of warmin' up this kind o' day.

The Wheel's by Chatty

Wheel of Fortune has been visiting Vegas,
At the Venetian Hotel, one of the greatest.

If I ever travel Westward, I'll surely go there,
And ride a gondola within that hotel, I swear.

E uomo, Pat Sajak, e una signora, Vanna White,
Are very flashy dressers and a real delight!

Bravo, Jabber, you are really on a roll... hope you get to take that gondola ride. I can't believe Steve and I were in Vegas last December and didn't -- course we were there for a conference, and actually didn't visit any of the casinos or wager one thin dime...

Which was kind of surprising, because decades ago we went to Reno and Tahoe for our honeymoon - and we DID try the games back then.
