SHORT GIFTS OF WISDOM

This is a collection of "ideas" that flooded thru my head on a thoughtful day. I have them lol. I am full of emotions for sure but actually sit back a reflect at times.

Wisdom

When I was young

my mind was whirling with words

As I aged

they became sentences and paragraphs.

Pain

If you take your pain personally

it will take you to the depths of depression

If you realize pain does not think you are special

and visits all

Your world will be livable.

Marriage

Marriage use to be a novel

Now most seem to be

a collection  of short stories.

Laughter

A chuckle a day 

keeps insanity away

A belly laugh

increases your life span.

SWEET PUPPY

This is Beau. So cute right? I watermarked the photo so it can not be used. I wrote this poem for him.

I wiggle and squiggle when you open the door
I nip at your pants to walk me

I run and play "get me!" when you show me the leash
then slide my belly to the floor

On goes the harness
and off I run thru the door.

THE RIDER

Motion 

Here comes the fury beast

riding thru the wind

Thighs are beating

as is his heart

Excitement from the very start

He lives for motion

fast and free

Don't hold on to me

is his plea.

Peddling

On goes his cap

and then his helmet

He steps on the pedals

getting ready to run

Winding and winding 

the wheels go

Sweat pouring

from his soul.

Speed

Why does he fly

it's not a want

it's a need

How fast can he go

It depends

What did the day offer

what came his way

Was it happy

was it sad

maybe it was bad.

LONELY OLD WOMAN

This poem is from my book "Giggle" a collection of tummy tickling poems.

Hello handsome
she says with a smile

Here's my phone number
for you to dial

I'm old and lonely
can't you see

Come to my house
and dance with me

Don't step on my toes
but do bring me a rose

I like to be spoiled
but do not put out

So don't go down that route

You can hug me
that does not bug me

Anymore
and you're out the door.

TROUBLE

Babe hold my hand
Babe be my man

You're breaking my heart in two
cuz you won't let me be with you

I'm standing in the dark with a broken heart
don't know what to do
---

Babe hold my hand
Babe be my man

Each breath feels like the last
my mind won't let go of the past

I knew you were trouble from the start
I tried to get away but you would not let us part

Hard to believe a love so sweet could go wrong
Your passion for me was so strong
---

Babe hold my hand
Babe be my man

I opened my heart and lowered my guard
why did you have to let me down so hard

You never even tried to keep us alive
you had no time for us could not make plans
--

Babe you will never hold my hand
Babe you will never be my man

Someday you may regret  what you let go of
magic does not come every day

I'm free and on my way

No longer in your bed will I ever lay.
