Writing
that’s what i do
five days a week for sure
i write to share my wisdom deep
or what i think is at least deep to me
my audience tells me often
when i am right, when i am wrong
their opinion that is
they are allowed
Writing

This is my second marathon. The first one was interesting and I am using this one to jump start my writing again as over the past two years most of my writing has consisted of short statements on daily life, politics, and philosophy posted to Facebook. And as I stated for the first marathon, I have been writing off and on for many years but only writing poetry for about 10 years. Looking forward to this challenge and making new friends and reading some new poetry.
Fairies
little creatures live throughout the world still unseen
water and woods, fire and sky pixies live all over
the nymphs create their scenes and hide all in scene
all creatures seek their preferred and secure cover
when big people seek to see the elves be keen
if you are not you will find none you duffer
big people might do better to just drink poteen
know that both big and small belong to earth mother
Pairs
two make pairs
put on airs
don’t despair
make a choice
use your voice
move ahead
together
both as one
get it done
Hopes
our hopes are our goals
we all have our roles
Heartbeat
we may have a soul
and should not be droll
Complete
be more and be whole
don’t seek a loophole
Upbeat
My Mind is Going
Every day I notice that more is gone
more and more my thoughts get drawn
my thoughts they soar, and my brain is at war
when it arrives i will be bygone.
Prepare
do you feel it, quicken your pace
it is behind you giving chase.
soon it will be here are you ready.
will you be able to hold close and steady.
don’t let it find you just anyplace.
or you may vanish without a trace.
or even worse you’ll be replaced.
remember this is an adversary.
do you feel it,
do you think it is a wraith,
or is it due to your disgrace,
maybe an enemy’s mercenary
could this all be ancillary
whatever it is it seeks embrace
do you feel it?
Truth
speak the truth, do not stray
lies deceive
do you not know this is the truth?
you keep the lies at bay
do perceive
develop this skill in your youth
people will trust in you
they will know
fail and suffer the reckoning
the truth they will pursue
toe-to-toe
welcome to the awakening
life is full of shared lies
shared again
persuasiveness is what they gain
work the truth, lies will die
truth will strain
and under the strain truth finds the prize
Live
Now Go Fully Live your life No need to hold back Waste not this opportunity
Danger
Adamant Adroit Antic Baleful The adroit and adamant woman used Her antics to hide her baleful musings
Cancer
cancer is everywhere you can’t help but find
seems unavoidable at least to me
every week more friends succumb to the spree
others i know are not so blind
symptoms are there in those they see
cancer is everywhere you can’t help but find
every week more friends succumb to the spree
views of the sick are much maligned
the sick and their friends feel crappy
and seek for way to set spirit free
cancer is everywhere you can’t help but find
seems unavoidable at least to me
every week more friends succumb to the spree
