Jabber and Gims, loved it.

The sensitivity of our souls are so very fragile,
On the outside we may be cool, and oh so very casual.

But our outer visage is often a mask
Disguising deep wounds, can be a task.

What is essential to live with inner peace?
I think I know. It’s always within our reach.

Rejoicing in just the little simple things
Whether it’s a sunbeam or how a child sings.

It’s the wind rustling leaves on a crisp fall day,
An orange yellow sunset across a sandy bay.

It’s shaking off all burdens, for they too will pass,
It’s breathing in and out, just plain living at last.

People will come and disappear, touch our lives and then go.
In the end, it’s only you, and the mustard seeds you have sowed.

New words

Twinkies, lunch box, recess, softball

I remember the wonders of school days,
I was molded and shaped into todays ways.

Each day at RECESS we ate from our LUNCH BOX,
We traded sandwiches except when Louie had lox.

If I got lucky my mon made me brownies,
The only thing better were Margies TWINKIES.

Then after lunch and monitoring the hall,
we'd run to the field and play SOFTBALL.


Words: Lucky, poker, deal, fold

Words: lucky, poker, deal, fold

If you're lucky at poker,
But unlucky in love,
Spin that around,
'til it fits like a glove.
Tell yourself, I like it this way,
I'm free as a Dove, now I can play,
Cards if I want and play 'em all day.

If they deal you a hand,
too good to be true,
Wisdom will tell ya, just what to do.
If you've a full house, or natural straight,
or ones the same color, would also be great.
Don't be a fool,
Don't you dare fold,
It's the best bet you'll get,
Look sharp and be bold.

Poker 'n love; love 'n poker,
You'd better know the risks,
You better be a joker,
There's no higher stakes,
than either of these two,
And if you lose either one,
You'll end up mighty blue!

New words: undo, uneventful, unfold, unforgiving

New words: undo, uneventful, unfold, unforgiving

It is unforgiving to unfold an umbrella before an uneventful unnecessary ultra rain shower undo’s your hairdo and it unfurls into unsightly ugly soggy uncurls.

Heh? Uncurls? Jabber you make me make up words!

Any one else want to try these beauties? That was hard.

If not the new words are:
Super Star, competition, glory, devastation

That was superb, Edelweiss! I love making up new words.

I don't like competition
It leads to devastation
Whenever I seek glory
I fall flat on my face

I'll never be a Super Star
My dreams don't reach that far
But I wouldn't mind if life forgot
to send me such humbling reminders.



Anybody else? (SuperStar, competition, devastation, glory)

It sounded as if you gals were having a good time. Wish Chick
had tried those "poker" words. Bet she would love that! She's probably off playing poker somewhere! Chatty, Edelweiss3 and Eagle I enjoyed your poems!

SuperStar, competition, devastation, glory

Wonder what emotional costs,
Becoming a superstar would be.
Competiton alone would probably create,
For the likes of you and me,
More devastation than glory,
Don't ya all agree!

New words: old words

We were searching for some NEW WORDS,
racking our brains until they might pop.

Instead all we could find were the OLD WORDS,
So should we continue or just stop?

Come on girls put on those thinking caps,
We can do it if we're willing to try,
I would rather come up with some new words,
than take a sharp stick in my eye.

Newer Words

Invisible, noisy, blockbuster, consultant

My favorite word is "exquisite"
