Dolphins
Dolphins can fly
as remarkable as that may seem
leaping through the air
effortlessly...
astounding you and me
They probably think we're crazy
with all the "singing" that they do
and all we seem to respond to
is the splashing and awing...
thinking they're so cute
Dolphins are smarter
than we assume
their ways of communication
seem to resemble
what we do...
There must be a language
between all animals too
perhaps if we listen...
we might hear a thing or two!

In addition to yesterday's post...
I mentioned yesterday
in my dooms day post...
how things are changing
not to be the carrier of bad news
but I also don't pretend that everything is always rosy.
I did want to add a little more on the "Climate" issue however;
For the last few years now areas that should be hot are cooler.
My plants and veggies haven't grown well in the last couple of years.
Either we've had too much rain and flooding or not enough sun, or
other areas have had no rain and too much sun. Sounds average right?
Then why aren't things growing correctly...
I have treated the soil and still stunted growth.
Has anyone noticed the size and quality of some of the veggies in the markets today?
Not just during off seasons...
The scientists have been trying to tell us how bad things are, and I believe
we're starting to see some of those changes slowly but surely a little closer to home.
Just saying...
All things are affected by climate changes...we take it for granted...
We have been told now for what? the last ten to fifteen years give or take perhaps longer,
that these changes were going to start taking place...
It's kind of like thinking we are going to live forever, that our planet will always be the same...
besides who thinks of it as our "planet" per say on a normal basis..we think of it as our home, beautiful places to see and visit. The only thing most think of is we are changing and growing, not our homes, meaning places we live, our parks, our food, our health, our animal kingdom...

Out of Control
The world is changing
from this much we can see...
the climates trading
localities...
for starters, take it seriously
The threats of war...
what is happening?
no longer are we tolerant
of even our neighbors
next door
from country to country
everyone is starting to retaliate!
do they even know why?
or what the hell for...
Hide behind the curtain
excuses we've heard before...
it's all about the "fight"
no one's listening anymore
To claim the cause is radical...
who's fooling who?
the lives that are shed
needlessly
God has witnessed at his door...
You shan't be deemed heroes
the bravest of them all
guns don't make you men!
only dreamers pretend
Innocent children
playing in their dens
did you get what you wanted?
now that they are dead...
This world is changing
and not for the best
we need to open our eyes
and be put to the test.

What Friends Mean To Me...
Friends....
are like oxygen
delivering air to me
the more there are
the more I can breathe...
Although I can count
only a few upon one hand
that have stayed with me
the massive amounts that have
crossed my path
has taught me several things...
That kindness lies within
the words
that strangers speak
not for pain or harm they seek
but from their hearts that leak...
I am blessed,
I have traveled, I have seen
like pages from a book
I recall every scene...
Age has taken away some names
but faces I will always see...
for they are the ones
that built this character in me
Life is played out
by many things...
but these strangers...
that were sent to me
were devoted friends
that were meant to be.

My Special Time Of Year
My favorite time of year is coming
Autumn into fall
I love the crisp air and whistling trees
brisk walks and fancy teas...
Pumpkins ready to be harvest
orange and yellow mums adorn
sidewalks and hanging baskets
Lite jackets
and good ole walking shoes
skipping rocks and hiking through...
Corm mazes are made
prepared by a crew
applying extra touches
to scare a few...
Thoughts of Halloween costumes
begin to accrue
in the minds of little tots
and big ones too!
Autumn into Fall
such a special time of year
hay rides and blankets shared...
scary faces dare to appear!

Bully's
You know, when I was a kid...
bullying meant;
that a kid couldn't sit at a lunch table with you,
they stole your lunch money,
gave you a wedgie, put you in a locker...
And none of that was acceptable!
Then...
And compared to today's bullies,
that was a walk in the park....
but wrong just the same.
Today with all the technology we have,
with all the sports and activities,
concerts, theaters, cars,
school trip extravaganza's
not like when I was a kid...
how can they be bored?
how can they not have enough to do?
Do those who taunt feel popular?
seeking attention, deterring attention
from someone else...
A release of anger out of fear...
no intent due the sufferer
or becoming just as hard as
what's familiar...
a way to cope by mimicking
Once where there was pity,
when I was a kid...
befriending the outcast
everyone needs a chance at something...
no longer lingers...
extreme incapability's fathomless
mind sets
pushing one's study
to the brink of death?
shaming for the world to see...
You'll never have that right, but they'll
be judged you'll see
Bully's lack of strength and confidence
that flee...
we make avenues for them to see
that it's okay to beat on you and me.
it's time we change this I plead!

Joanne
Why is is that your face appears
in my bowl of cheerios, my morning coffee cup,
or at the command of a spoken word
that brings reference to you...
My stomach aches and falls apart
when remembering everything about you
When every Tuesday comes around
I sit and wait, looking at the clock,
thinking you're still going to call me.
I anxiously wait... knowing it isn't coming
and a lump rises in my throat
and tears are soon to follow...
You were my anchor
in my times of need
and I was your source
to unload on
when things were out of control
together we talked our way through it
laughing by the time we hung up...
I shall miss you
in all my days to come
whatever they may be
I can never quite get over
that you're not here with me...

Yeah, it's an apology yet again...
You wouldn't believe my ordeal if I told you.
Trying to get back on my blog was like trying to swim in mud.
Although everyone was very helpful as usual, it just took forever!
Mostly I had to figure it all out myself, but I got here.
If there's another delay it will be because I didn't do something right and I just ended up here by a freak accident while trying to figure things out.
That's what I get for letting it lapse again, this time too long.
I'm back! I think you guys keep coming back because
I'm such a screw up, but I keep apologizing. I don't mean to screw up,
it's not on purpose, it's my life now and time restraints.
But I am blessed with your continuous patronage
to my site and I am so very grateful to all of you!!!
I'm so glad I didn't lose my blog!!!
And I am especially glad that you didn't give up on me
for almost a year of absence.
You have no idea how happy this makes me!
Keep your fingers crossed that I will be able to sign back in again (lol)
really...
I just realized how much I miss this blog and writing out to all of you.
I guess I don't see my viewers as passers by, I see you as part of a huge circle of friends.
All stopping by to have your cup of coffee, read a poem or two, listen to me unravel...
and the crazy thing is you keep coming back!!
How cool is that!
Later Gaters!
