Premium MemberNever Say Never: A Family Recipe For Chicken Stir Fry

Never say never, always say "perhaps;" unless it's a
Wedding, a funeral, or your daughter's v-ball game.
Never say never, instead say "maybe."
Never feel forced to use rhyme, tired is the fad despite the ear's need 
To smile at the sound of music; rhymes are for the dullard, 
Like Dr. Seuss and Mother Hubbard. 
Never say never to your kids lest your aim is to model 
Human folly & the grace-skill of Forgiveness. 
This will all be over soon so please don't cry. 
Y'know this whole poem goes way better with chicken stir-fry.

Hold tight little one
To all the things that matter
Namely, hold my hand.

Premium MemberThe Bird's Eye View

Two by two 
They flew 
Wings in the air 
Blue skies they all share 
There is one place 
Home base 
They rest 
Call it a nest 
For them it's the best 
Eggs hatch there 
Soon a pair 
Young at heart 
Do their part 
In the air 
Soar to real heights 
Sun so bright 
Miss the kite 
Of the kids first flight 
Hold on tight 
Stay calm 
Or a dive bomb 
Will scare Mom 
Who scouts the town 
Safe and sound 
Well fed 
And in bed
With the one she wed

Premium Memberthey tried to follow every rule

Blue eyed twins went to school
Tried to follow every rule
their mother ran away that day
Even though they were good, she could not stay

The lesson for them lasted forever
You can be kind, smart, excited and clever
But if your mother wants to run away
You cannot make her stay even one more day


Premium MemberSimplicity sk

With understanding 
husband learns to eat cold food 
while baby nurses 

young mother learns 
by advice and google search 
to soothe her newborn 

beginning of birth 
mother's milk supplies 
babies needs are met 

simplicity of bond between father, mother and child

Premium MemberA Mother For Life

A person one loves

Mom of one and all that strives
O'er and under the bed who searches for you
The one that lits the candle 
   and sleeps with you
Honor thy Mother for life
Even without lost pictures 
  or unknown origin of life that bow
Remember who you are

From her, you survived and lived
  what you are and how
On and off the roads you hop and grow 
Reels of trials and challenges you blow

Life lived with or without a mother
In your heart you needed a sister or a brother 
Forever a memory you keep and live by
Every night and day you ask, "Why?"

Premium MemberMy Family


I didn’t know the true strength of the family bonds 
until the sky suddenly fell with tough times of turmoil.
We got deracinated, turned into derelict drift wood, 
until my mother found for the family an anchorage, 
a nest for us to fly together in the sky of sanguine future.  

As her gift of a home reinforced our family affinity 
I soared high in the care of her protective wings.
Wild winds couldn’t waft away my ascending aspirations 
because I lived in the sheltering shadow of her love,
that guided her with family values to sculpt me what I’m.

Premium MemberMy Family: Like a Garden

Like a garden is my family - mostly sisters, for I and they grew up without our father. The oldest, I’m September’s aster, gathering words like rain as in wind’s rhythm I sway. After me is Jen, a gracious geranium, abloom with generosity. Third in line is charming Mel, a marigold smiling in the sun. Fourth is Dori, a hardy diligent daylily enduring many a storm. Last is Thea. A delicate Mimosa, she gives and requires tenderness. At garden’s center is our mother, our ever-loving spiritual rose. Surrounding us all are beautiful friends, our sister flowers.

Premium MemberSome Fairytales - Limericks

(Goldilocks) One bear - two bears- baby makes three, Mommy making hot berry tea and brie. Soup is way too hot, No sleep on a soft cot. New home and not needing to flee.
(Little Red Riding hood) Mommy gave me good advice, maybe I should have listened twice. A wolf I did find, lost my love and mind Now pregnant paying the price.
(The Three Little Pigs) We are three of a family kind, except one got caught in the wind. One got caught by the fire, he was in a house fryer. Wanting new homes space aged designed.

Premium MemberIntertwined in Love

In hues of blue, a bracelet crafted
For the father, strong and true
Threads of cobalt, woven tight
A symbol of love, a guiding light

In crimson red, another strand
For the mother, with warmth so grand
Passion and care, intertwined gracefully
An everlasting bond, unconditionally

And in royal purple, a third to see
For the child, innocent and full of glee
The blending of hues, a family's embrace
Bound together, in love and grace

Each color tells a story untold
Of a family's bond, strong and bold
A bracelet of blue, red, and purple unite
In love and connection, forever bright.

Premium MemberWithering White Roses

As I am watering your withering white roses,
I wish I had separate simple tall glass vases
To share each and every white rose with family
Who loved you as their mother and our granny.

But really symbolically this glass vase is rather
As transparent as we are when we're together,
So I never want to see us separate nor shatter.
Times we shared are the stems of each flower.

Just as we come and go thru life and death,
I'll water these roses until their final "breath."
Though your suffering lasted until the winter,
News of your final night pierced like a splinter.

I'll water these roses and your cactus plant.
I'll think of you as I sing to songs like a chant.
I still love you, I wish I could know if you know
I have a lot of self-growth I am going to show.

Premium Memberthe bibas family

i see the bibas family….smiling in their
batman pajamas

red headed mother two young sons….
of a fiery hair innocence still

taken in sunlight from their kibbutz….
frightened captive oh for release

shiri kfir ariel yarden….my weeping with
heart asunder

yarden now freed….but where is his gone
precious wife and sons hashem’s ones

I’m more inclined to write of shoveling snow
As I like to write about the things I know
Yet will reflect upon the dazzling flakes
Depending on how long the shoveling takes

For children wait with snowmen on their minds
And mother peeks from behind venetian blinds
While I the roller of “snowmanic” orbs
Must protect my snowball fight reserves

Snow angels hover o’er the battlefield
To see if age or youth is first to “yield”
Surrend’ring to the call to outside lunch
Hot chocolate and the sound of snowy crunch

Thus does the chill of winter thrill us all
Whether we be snowmen short or tall

Premium MemberThe Watkins Man

“He’s the black sheep of our family,”
Said Father speaking of his son
Before him to the Watkins man
Who no doubt forgot it
Before his next customer.

Father liked the line
Repeated it to his son’s favorite uncle,
His mother and a few friends.
Their laughter stung.

Still none seemed to remember.
Father got bored—dropped the line.
Twenty years later denied 
He’d said it.

The son, poor fellow, never forgot—
Told me the story as he expired.
