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!
Autumn into Fall
my special time of year.

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!

Fall
Admiration of Fall
displaying it's brilliance
everywhere you look
bursts of color
high and low
temperatures
changing
from hot to cold...
Every one's in awe of its beauty
traveling around
to see a glimpse
in it's glory...
Nature at it's best
exchanging it's clothes
for another less yielding
Inviting us all
to the fashion show
the biggest event of the season.
