In a Nutshell

The Son of God our Savior;
A human form He took;
Twas prophesied in days of old;
It's written in His book.

Blood ran on the whipping post,
That my sickness may be healed.
The story has been often told.
It's in His book revealed.

They nailed Him to a rugged...

Poetry In An Urdu Nutshell
Garage       
stacked high
scribbled stenos of
an automatic act
of little understanding or thought-------------
{tuhituhi}

visceral finality       
zero return
zero reward
and then there's
a learning disability hindering the reading-------------
{panui}

writing       
is taking a dump, 
except...

Premium Member Wisdom In a Nutshell
When you are nuts,
Pick just one nut a day;
Sort its ins and outs
Then squirrel it away.

You will be lighter and spryer;
Ready for any rainy day!

Life In a Nutshell
Life in a nutshell 
where simplist of wires are strung 
tiptoeing in the delicate balance 
what can be done is done 

wrongs from rights 
days falling over nights 
not doing too much of one 
leaving it up to another 

a brother, a sister, a care...

Caracas, In a Nutshell
While the U.S. Delta aircraft lands,
moving toward Simon Bolivar Airport,
humidity assaults me like my own tropical country;
people like Venezolanos and other walks of life,
emerge on the horizon with smiles and thanksgiving.

  Beyond my wildest imagination,
  there's parallelism in the Caribbean experience.
  Food,...

Carrie

Sentimental and sassy, reasonably realistic, soundly grounded

Daughter of polar opposites, wife of a patient man,  
mother of three unique comedians

Lover of sincerity, loyalty, dependability

Who feels passion for family, compassion for the unfortunate, 
 and feels time passes too quickly

Who fears being inadequate, being a...

The commies we fought--they were red
We searched for them under our bed
They lost the cold war
But we want to spend more
So we're fighting osamies instead...

In a Nutshell
A mess inside out
From head to toe
   Her boat, afloat
But refuses to go

   A dime piece if she tries
But prep, a bore 
   Hops in the car
Her purse by the door

   Cruising the highway
Radio blaring

Oblique Void Universe In a Nutshell
There is no nothing
for what we call nothing
which is really space
is definately something
emptiness void abyss
all something like glass
from lights point of view
as we are as light to space
we offer eachother no resistance
and yet are as real as eachother
transparent matter to light is space
and perhaps as...

Saskatchewan In a Nutshell : Celsius Edition
If you don’t like the weather, wait 5 minutes
Why live in the prairies? We have our reasons
At -50 you might say we hit our limits
Few places in one day, do you see all 4 seasons

Why live in the prairies? We have our reasons
Snow in June,...

My Life In a Nutshell
In my youth I was wild
Crazy is a term best used
I was a hunter of the female sex
And the laws of the land I abused
I was a  musician and singer
A talent I used brilliantly
Serenading the female sex
They liked singers and they liked me

What fun...

Us In a Nutshell
Life and love were disappointing
As you searched for a brand new start
And then this desperado came
And stole your quickly beating heart

The years flew by, those days and nights
As wants and dreams we'd see unfold
Through the ups, downs and sideways
We found ourselves start to grow old

You...
