    Mood: Cautious

       It has been over a year since I was at ES. I've written a LOT of poetry since then. I've been on other boards since then and now I'm back.

       The forums are down. Oh, bother! Since practically no one reads my poetry or at least leaves comments, I usually only came here to argue on the debate forum page.

    But I'll give it a try. Maybe my luck will be better the next time you clle.

       Snow's gone, floods are gone - and a whole flock of robins was in my front yard yesterday!

    A Christmas Gre


    Mood: The Usual

       Merry Christmas, my friends!

    A CHRISTMAS GREETING

    It's snowing and blowing,
    the freeway's a parking lot.
    I've still got shopping to do.
    Ready for Christmas? I'm not!

    The house is a mess,
    decorating's not done.
    Too many programs.and parties.
    Baked cookies? Not one!

    But I've slept by the Christmas tree
    with a roomful of grandkids
    who wiggled and giggled
    with wide-open eyelids.

    And I've taken snapshots
    in front of the tree
    of toothless first-graders
    saying “Pizza” and “Cheese!”

    I've sewed and I've painted
    and wrapped presents aplenty.
    I've spent ones and fives
    and tens and twenties!

    And now I must pause
    to greet friends all around
    and wish you all peace.
    May your joy abound!

    Midst all our busyness,
    and economy frights,
    the reason for this season
    must be firmly in sight:

    Our Savior exalted,
    his birth proclaimed.
    The angels sang anthems
    to honor his name.

    Let us bow in his presence
    and in His love take part.
    Let us celebrate the Christ
    with grateful hearts.

    Happy Christmas!!

       Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat.

    I wish it were only the goose!

    New poetry


    Mood: Juggling Tasks

    Posted on 2008-07-15 05:28:19


       It has been a very long time since I've posted any poetry here on ES. The number and quality of comments I received was very discouraging, despite my own efforts. At the last, I just gave up and quit commenting because of the responses. It seemed that ES was becoming populated with people who only wanted to hear how good they were.

    I've decided to give it one more try. I don't know if any serious writers are still here. It seems that many of them have left, perhaps because of the same things I encountered.

    At any rate, I welcome any constructive comments concerning my poetry.

       It simply escapes the grasp of my mind why some people think that calling others insulting names or cursing at them makes them appear more intelligent than the one who is the object of their "ridicule." Any fool can do that. The one with the higher degree of intelligence, wisdom and insight is the one who chooses to remain civil in times of disagreement, with the aim of convincing that one, as well as any others, to his point of view. Insults, sarcasm and ridicule are the tools of one without a valid argument. Restraint and civility will win the day.
