Do not fear the storm

When life throws daggers at you

Show it you are fierce

Things Unseen- #poetry #FebruaryWriting

I am unseen, in this vast world I dwell

No one really notices I am here, as well

Walking around, with their heads in the air

Passersby never seeing, nor do they care

Making their way, to wherever they must

Leaving me here, with no hope, nor trust

That the human race will eventually awaken

Realizing, the path, so many have taken

Filled with self-doubts, a heart of defeat

No shelter from the cold, life on the street

No matter the weather, no matter the time

We remain unseen, a punishment, for no crime

We are not like cars, where colors are optional

Humans come in a variety, our palettes, diverse

We must make it our quest to be kind to another

Learn not how to argue, but rather, to converse

This one can go either direction…   😉


Polly Pink, such a dancer supreme

She was the star of every man’s dream

Especially the night

When her tassels took flight

And landed in Bailey’s Irish Cream

Tea Time Talk – #2 #TeaTimeTalk

Well, here we are again, the week is over, and boy what a week it was. Grab your tea, iced or hot, and let’s talk! Should you like to bring along any snacks, please feel free.  🙂

 

 

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: My sweet Alyssa had to give up her dream job due to health issues. She was a pet walker/sitter. Sadly, the winter cold proved too much and she resigned her position. I know she’s heart broken, as am I, for her.

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: I adore the sunsets and the moon rise. For me, the day could consist of only those two things, although that would make it only night. Exactly! The sunset, to bid the day adieu (had to get that French in there for hubby), the moon rise to greet the night. And just think, you would be relaxing that whole time because there would be no time in between to do anything except enjoy the stars twinkling above.

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: As much as I love the idea above, there aren’t enough hours in a day. I need, maybe, twenty-four more? I think that would work. If you have some spare time, please pass it my way.

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: the weather in the states has been all over the place. Friday was 60F and Saturday it was almost 40F. And we have snow in the forecast three days this coming week. I am so over winter!!

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: I love Pokémon Go. There, I admitted it…step 1.lol Oh yes, and McDonald’s chicken nuggets. Phew, glad I got that over with.

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: I got to hang out with a couple of pups, my daughter’s sitting for. A Husky and a Puggle. Adorable and make me want to run right out and get a dog. You’ll remember the husky from last week’s tea, she was editing my book. 😉

As for this week coming up:

If we were sipping tea, basking in the sun and talking I would tell you: I have a lot of things to get done and no ambition to do any of them. I need at least four more of me. That should be good.

If we were sipping tea, basking in the sun and talking I would tell you: it’s time for me to do the food shopping, and some errands for my Mom. Somewhere in between, I’ll find time to write (I hope).  Have a great week ahead!!   ❤
