Reading/Knowledge Is Power

Page after page
My nose in a book
I read intently
As the words
Form pictures 
In my mind
What power.
With one look.

Imagination runs wild,
There is nothing 
Like the thrill,
The ride,
 thoughts race
Like a roller coaster
Going through 
its paces
Giving you chills.

It’s a rainbow
Of translations,
If you will.
Get on it,
And feel the inclination
To soar 
Until
You’ve had enough.
But is it ever?
Never

You see, 
Once you start
It’s too tough
To get off 
That ride 
That makes 
You smart 
To begin with.
You are filled
With exhilaration
And with pride.

Reading takes you 
to the top,
To the power 
of knowledge!
Knowledge is power,
A roller coaster 
That never stops.

Fantasy

As you smile at me
Lush, beautiful waterfalls
    Fall gently below

  Aquamarine lakes
Shimmer in the golden sun
 As light waves roll in

   Foliage blooms here
In extravagant, bright colors
 And thrilling scents tease.

Oh my,  what a scene-
   I am in a fantasy
When you gaze at me.

Love Snuck Up On Me

Love snuck up on me
 like a thief in the night
  One day I saw an angel
   then I saw the light.

  For no longer could I see
and no longer could I ignore
 this man standing next to me
    made my spirits soar.

  Love snuck up on me
     like a thief 
     in the night.
   Oh yes, it did
   and it grabbed 
   me real tight.
  Love snuck up on me
    and it never
   felt so right!

Gerri

Generous, never stops giving
Energetic, never stops helping
Really loves her kids
Really lovable character
Is a dear, loving sister and I love her too.

Summer Splash

As I bask in the warmth 
of the sun,
hear the children
play and run,
I lie still and see
Butterflies and ladybugs
flying quietly by me
to join in the Summer Splash.

 Shouts of joy and 
excitement bring me
 to my senses;
The thrill of teenagers 
and surfer boys 
shouting Ahoy!  
I sit up and focus 
my sunglass’ lenses.
There, I see them, and no 
longer able to ignore
the fun to be had, I 
Join in the beach
 volleyball game
On the shore!
Time to enjoy a Summer Splash!

Spring Magic

Plants bloom
bees zoom
Earth comes 
to life, as the sun
rays enter  the room.

The planet is
teeming with
lively activity 
and as spring
enters,  with 
apparent gaiety.

The grass is green
skies are blue
forests abundant with
life as everything grows 
fresh and all anew.

The time for spring is near
let's enjoy the great sun
Spring Magic is upon us,
each and every one.

Ceramics

Take a slab, roll it,
punch it, hit it once
or twice, enjoy the feel 
of wet clay in your hands.
Then make 
any shape
And
perfect it,
hey, maybe it
could be in the form
of  an ape,
Or  it could be into
a bowl or tile, hey,
take your time--
Having fun with art 
is like rhyme.
Go ahead, try it 
You’ll find it’s fun
and if its not right,
then make another one.

My Hero

When you came to me
I was brokenhearted and blue
you took an interest in me, love
and I instantly knew

that you were then my hero
soft-spoken and softhearted
you showed me what it felt like
to receive true love and know
it has only started.

Today I still feel that love
as warm as it could be
and  I am still in love with you
my hero, true and sweet.

California

Valley with streams
once filled with gold,
now has towns both
new and old
mountains and hills
and flat plains 
curvy roads and 
flat terrains

Old and young  frolic
along in the sands
Ride on trains
or rush down
in roller coasters,
while raising their hands.

For work or fun,
to walk or run,
in sunshine or sun,
California is number one!
