BEFORE THE CHARGE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the sun’s advance troops
line the ridge like Indians
in an old Western
poised on the bright brim of day
a moment before the charge

If men want to change the world,
they must do it while they're single,
because once they get married,
their chances really dwindle!
Speaking from experience,
you guys will quickly find
a husband's often not allowed
to even change his mind!
Because the important thing to realize,
in this crazy world of strife,
is to remember these four words:
"happy wife, happy life"!

She should be ashamed, he should be ashamed, they should be ashamed
Nasari grew up hearing these daily chastises from her mother
She knew that she also should be ashamed
And yet she did not know the why of it yet
Shame was a theme in her life, at an early age
She was ashamed in kindergarten, second grade, sixth grade
Her cheeks were flushed, for everything was her fault
If someone else dropped the Playdough, she took responsibility
Not only was she in charge of herself
She was in charge of the rest of the world
What they did was her shame
She took it all on
With guilty feelings
For her mother had drummed this into her psyche
At an early age

My heart cried
Please loved him no more.
It hurt more and more than before.
My brain questioned
Why did you keep on thinking of him for?
You should practise
"Out of sight, out of mind"
My eyes pleaded
Where has he been all these days?
I wanted to see him just one more time.
Why was he so hard to find?
Made me wondering days and nights,
Would he still be sitting at the same place?
At the desk to surf on the internet as always.
My nose sniffed:
He had strange odour, but it was quite unique.
At the corners of my lips,
My round dimples tipped
He also had two but elongated in shape,
And they appeared each time he grinned.
His face was almost perfect,
Except a calculus on the buccul of his tooth.
By now my hairs proudly tousled,
I kept your neck warm in winter
And gave you shades in summer.
But he had none what so ever.
My legs were short and stout,
His legs were long but could not play
The swings in the play ground.
Has my brain teased or cheered my heart?
When and will he mend my broken heart?
No words to describe his eyes,
I hardly looked at them due to being shy.

Friends like no other
They give you pain and bother
Ready to screw you up
From bottom to top
In the name of honesty they kill
And they charge you for the bill

My dogs charge the fence
Barking ferociously at the neighbor dog
Acting like he is a murderous intruder
Here to do serious damage to their pack
The neighbor dog lunges back
Enjoying the game, glad to be of service
I smile at their antics
If the fence disappeared they would be smelling butts

It's a part of my soul
pleasantly beating
each time caressing t
Vape fluids flowing
I'm an electric charge
and I'm lightning jolt
I am reminiscing
I am electrified voltage

February 15 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on Numbers 9-10
Key Verse – Numbers 9:19 And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and journeyed not.
PRAISE BE TO GOD WHO CONSTANTLY
REMINDS US THAT WE KEEP HIS CHARGE
Praise be to God for constantly reminding
us that we keep His charge in:
Confessing constantly our sins
Claiming His compassion according to the Scriptures
Cleaving to His care with sincerity
Clinging to His Christian standards
Committing to His cause by His security
Numbers 10:13 Praise be to the Lord Who
wants us to take our journey with Him:
Awakened by His command
Admonished by His challenge
Alarmed by His correction
Affirmed by His creative carving
Assured by His cleansing
Numbers 10:35 Praise be to the Saviour
for rising up for our:
Defense of help’s request
Dedication by His honourable reinforcement
Determination with His hope’s restoration
Direction toward His high calling’s recognition
Destination to His heaven’s eternal rest. Amen!

Poetry is moody, she can be pouty and sad.
She can be vibrant, dancing the chicken dance.
I allow her freedom to be herself.
It does me no good to feel I am the boss.
Poetry is a chameleon. He is flexible.
He wakes me up in the night with an end rhyme.
What the heck!
Poetry is a teaser.
Poetry is not just a he or a she.
They is also a we, an us, a them, collaborating.
Going off in directions I could not outguess.
Doing what I never knew they could do.
Poetry slides onto a page with loops and whorls.
Laughing at my consternation.
Taking me totally unserious.
Poetry does not listen.
Sometimes I have this weird feeling I am in charge.
Poetry laughs
Pokes fun at me
Smacks me upside the head
Flies out the window with a hamster on her back.
Reminding me who is in charge.

Away, away, yet bound for love
And what, this hindrance hounding still
For feelings left but unexpressed
I hold back, yet against my will
And though I voyage in my search
I touch but what the surface knows
Afraid to plunge into the deep
Exploding as this feeling grows
But forge ahead and not hold back
I must if love is to be found
To reach my destination and
to not again run ship aground
Remembering as a youth,
the fear of unrequited love

They do the swing and sling dance someone said
About my friend Charlotte and her buddy Ted
It is the Lindy Hop, and it is looks rather wild
They asked me to try it, but I am a non-dancing child
I used to love to dance and kick and twist and shout
But a torn ACL and injured leg bone had struck me out
Now I barely skip, never hop, and sometimes limp along
After becoming my age, my body has yelled “this is wrong!”
I have arthritis in my ankles, so how could I swirl?
A bunion on my foot would not help me in a whirl.
Here is my advice, young woman, and young man too.
Do all the living you can while your body keeps up with you.

Let me hear once more
Your trucks tires crunching along the drive
Your boots on the weathered planks of the porch
The suspenseful sound of your knuckles announcing
The sight of you leaned against the doors frame
Stooping as ushered inside
Your Cheshire cat smile mischievious and mild
And the mystery held within your eyes
I have swam their depth
I have sought conclusion knowing
Your infathomable serene calm surface
beckons me beneath the waves

Transport Phenomena
Transfer of matter
Characteristics alter
Charge transfer
Accompanies heat transfer
Heat transfer
loss of power
Power loss
Creates Fuss.
Be positive
Less resistive.
More active
Less passive.
Active is inductive
Also susceptive
Magnetic, electric and energetic
Power generic.
Flux Change is cyclic
Nevertheless dynamic.
Law that governs nature
Predicts its future.

Even those with account large
Do not fancy the least charge:
Men with riches as their badge
Could later on sing a dirge
Try to involve some cheap serge
“We’ve been hit with an iceberg!”
Thus, ‘Charge’ is a word quite harsh,
Its habitual users rash,
Trying their best to sound brash:
Charge’ a bit better than ‘Crash’.
At the battlefront a charge,
At a police station a charge,
For some received service charge,
After a withdrawal charge,
But worse than charge is surcharge:
Delays to phones recharge
Or some strict duty discharge.
