Posted: 7/22/2007 7:08:39 PM | As a child summer was an adventure to be born
Each day a new gift to open
Whether it be a trip to the zoo, a concert
Going to the fair and eating cotton candy
Swimming out under the sky
Hiking in the cool of the forest
Each day I want to experience that feeling again
I have been starved for adventure
Write down in a book all the things you want to do
Pick one out when time permits
And feel something different
The excitement running through your veins
Simplicity
The part of life that is free
Walking stick dreams. | |

Posted: 7/22/2007 7:24:08 PM | Autumn, we have two old time villages within a 20 minute drive, Auglaize Village and Sauder's Village (yes, the ones who make the furniture) . I have never been to either one, but would love to take the kids! I haven't been to the zoo yet this year, or the new exhibit at the art museum in Toledo....there is so much to do that's free, or very low cost. There is a winery, several trails, and friends I can camp with.

mea culpa
I live, live, live
to honor the dead
they, no less
deserving
of life than me
can have no more sunrises
hopeful mornings
I borrow their eyes
to sort for importance
to perceive afresh
the old, the tired
an embarrassment
of riches
in my pile
of days
LS 7/21/07
Hey sweetie, how you been? I haven't had any ethical dilemmas, though a few supressed desires have cropped up.......I've been lusting for a vacation and a new sidewalk......

Posted: 7/22/2007 9:57:00 PM | Waterfall
Sheets of rain like Niagara fall,
all too often at my feet.
It's too much really, for me to bear
your tears.
Look behind your waterfall.
A country
rich with fruit bearing trees,
salmon streams and precious gems
awaits.
Slip behind the sheets of water.
Wash your tears away
with secrets,
found within.
thought I'd drop this here. inspired by FL/LL but revised since then... | |

Posted: 7/23/2007 2:04:27 AM | I always wanted to be more
Letting go of my own ego
my God understands
and my friendship with Jesus
finally makes me
no better than you for
Forever being the child
taking baby steps as a human
Asking God to mature me
Until the awakening
I fly with angels
Living on your planet
does not mean I have to reside here
I still have my dreams
in the southern warm winds
I smile in the gift of your friendship | |

Posted: 7/23/2007 5:23:02 PM | First off, news that bums me out......I won't be able to make it to Canada for the poetry festival. To put it plainly, I'm living much too close to the bone, and have even had to borrow money from relatives, which I have never done before.....it's embarrassing to admit, but I had to say it so you wonderful people realize if there were a way I could come meet you , I would. I took the time off, and was really looking forward to it. This is possibly a once in a lifetime chance......
Autumn, one day we'll meet.......where is Oprah when you need her?
Naive, you've been on fire lately! Good writes!
Humor, well, apart from the filched poem, which did astonish for many different reasons, I've never been published.....oh, I think my school booklet, I forgot.......
greengrassofhome, another gorgeous write....and I would love to see Canada's salmon streams and fruit bearing trees.....
Erik, even if they remove Bush's head from his own rectum, he'll just have it up Cheney's soon after........
Another, I always feel like I'm so unevolved.....especially here, I feel as if I stand among giants with their big hearts......

True kindness of heart

Posted: 7/26/2007 7:25:53 AM | greenngrassofhome, I was pretty bummed out,  didn't even want to check in much for a few days......but I've bounced back up, like a cork.....or a champagne bubble....
July 27th, 2007
traveling to pre-school
we sight geese
dining in a field
chipmunk dart
from the railroad tracks
herd of donkeys
with one foal
hawk landing;
driving by houses
noting changes
folks never met
still, we are glad
new swingset
repouring a foundation -
house suspended above
pools, ponds
golf tees, decks, porches
horse track
I love this land
with deepness
my roots
the soil
beneath my feet
faith in my neighbors
a flag unfurled by hope
love open as the sky

Posted: 7/26/2007 1:56:03 PM | I’m going to make some cut out dolls
From all my favourites profiles
Gonna put them up right here
Amids the fun and smiles
Gonna toast a toast or two
And post a post to view
“cause if they cannot be with us here
their spirits will have to do. | |

If I could
I would
collect
my tears
to start
a garden
in your heart

Posted: 7/27/2007 8:04:14 PM | Too cool, ravin, and I wish I could make it to the art-fest, but I'll be there in spirit.
"Desert" was lovely, brizo.
THE CUT ROSE
Red on a glass-white background,
The rose is overwhelmed with seniority
From the sprouting daisies sprocketting
Their scents thoughout the dining room
Where you've left your last song fading
And rebounding in my imagination
This summer eve, outback coyotes
Piercing the wind with lonely abandon. | |

| Brizo's poems
Posted: 7/27/2007 8:14:04 PM | thank you, Rory... Coyotes give me the lonely shivers, we have some out here. There are three profoundly lonely sounds. Coyotes, train whistles, and taps.
one true thing
if love were not true
when I fell into your heart
then everything right
in this world
was a lie
and I will hold
that picture of you
and the air thick
with feeling
'till I die

Posted: 7/28/2007 7:24:08 AM | I agree that some amazing writes can be found on these last couple of pages...and actually in a twisted way I feel less low about myself as I see others here are in the same boat as I.
Not A Dime
Money is tight
can't pinch a dime
going to miss a poetry extravaganza
what a crime
other things must come first
like kids that are hungry
complaining of thirst
my road trip left me financially drained
so to head off to Ravin's
would leave my pocketbook strained
sad for I really wanted to go
sit back
listen to sweet poetry flow
yet in spirit I can say I will be there
watching from moonlit skies
as great poets with words they share. | |

Posted: 7/28/2007 8:37:26 AM | We ARE all in the same boat,... too bad it's so small! Okay since we're packed in here like sardines, you know I cannot see you, but whoever has their hand down my swimtrunks,... that is NOT the rudder you are holding down there! hahahaha,...
Oh yeah,... let's leave a quote instead of a poem this time:
"I never spanked a girl I didn't like!" ~ Self quote.

Posted: 7/28/2007 9:04:19 AM | Wooby, steal away.......what's mine is yours......remember to stop in on your way to and from the festival if you need a place to rest.....
Wicked, sorry that you can't make it.....I'm wondering if penpal will be able to swing it......I've "known" some of you a year, maybe more.....I can't remember when I started posting on the poetry boards...so the chance to meet was wonderful! A big hand to Ravin and Autumn for their work on this.....
Erik, thanks for the laugh! Nothing better for breakfast.......yeah, I just got up....

I see you striding in

Posted: 7/28/2007 12:32:08 PM | Hi everybody.
Looks like more than likely, I won't make it. But, that said, I thank Ravin for not ruling me out. Still, I'm inspired just by pondering distant prospects. Thanks again to all of you for being so beautiful to ponder.

Posted: 7/28/2007 5:02:10 PM | sorry you won't be making it to canada, brizo. and the rest of you, too.
one true thing and the cut rose are great poems, you guys.
a trip to canada
i’m afraid i’m still sitting on the fence
it’s not about dollars, is about sense
so many things to consider first
then i’ll know if the plan is cursed
does the dog need vet certification
to cross the border of the canadian nation
what is the status of my tent
after eight years, maybe a bad scent
better check my other camping gear
don’t remember what i’ve got here
is it really feasible to drive
guessing ten hours to arrive
maybe the ferry’s the way to go
cut from rochester to toronto
give me this week to investigate
for my commitment, only a short wait
at that point, we’ll all know
if a trip to canada is a go
greengrass, thanks for the heads up on ravin's new thread. i don't visit the ontario forums much. | |

Posted: 7/28/2007 6:22:34 PM | bicpen, wouldn't it be nice to see them in 3-D? While I love computers....the best thing is to be there.......
humor.....I hope you go....the Amtrack from your place shouldn't be too bad at all, if you can find camping gear to rent......
Autumn, I've had a perfectly useless day, and since I signed up for the dieting challenge at work, I can't even eat my way out of boredom....
