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.


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 MemberLady Diamond (A Proverbs 31 Woman)

Lady Diamond rose as each new day dawns
In her gentle hands her household yawns
A model once in the camera’s light
Now clothed in the light of Jesus Christ

She served her husband, taught each child
With patient, grace and spirit mild
Two sons, two daughters, hearts held near
Her labor deep, her teaching clear

By day she gave till strength was thin
By night the moon would tuck her in
The birds sang praise when morning came
And heaven blessed her quiet name

God be praised for women who stand
With Proverbs’ 31 wisdom in their hand
All women, God’s beautiful bouquet
With Lady Diamond showing the way

Premium MemberLetter To My Son


Good morning son.

There has never been a day like this day.
May you face it gladly, come what may
We mortals make many things from clay,
But only God Almighty can make a day;
The same God who made the mana.

So, my dear son.

Let the sunlight shine upon your soul,
As the wind of God blows away those
Dark and dreary clouds of grey.

Love you,
Dad

Premium MemberSapphire Hush Beneath the Willow

Written: August 3rd, 2026 for a contest sponsored by: Line Gauthier **************** Sapphire rays glimmer beneath willow trees; Emerald awnings, swirling in sweet breeze. A ledge of leaves—penumbral shadows play, Each kin-bound heart is rooted all the way. We meet as one, a sole breed growing whole— Sunlight furrows the branches of one soul.

Premium MemberBusy Executives vs Me

  
	      Some hurry through school
                  pile up degrees
              Others drop out
                  do what they please 

               Those in the ‘c-suite’ *
                  eat babies for breakfast
                dinner’s raw meat

                Me, I’m less ambitious
                   family first
                 Then the timesheet

Premium MemberBE THERE

May we be blessed to have this as our calling:
to do our best to keep our friends, our family 
and everyone we meet…
from falling…

To be considerate, accepting, kind, 
compassionate, 
forgiving too…
and help them pick up the pieces..
when and if they ever do.

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 MemberHome

Nice being home. 
After a lifetime on the roam.
Nowhere to go.
Around people I know.
The love they show.
Enjoying my time.
Being alive is not a crime.
Expressing myself through rhyme.
Having my own place.
See the smile on my face.
No longer so alone 
There's always love shown.
No more shivering in the cold.
As I grow old.
My family is always there for me.
I see.
How peaceful life can be.

Premium MemberDAILY GRATITUDE FRIENDS AND FAMILY

For my friends and family 
who even though they’ve passed…
or there’s a distance between us of many miles…
I’m grateful I have stored within my mind
the memory of their smiles.

Premium Member-What Once Was

A home once full of family unity

Now echo the days of yesteryear

Togetherness, noise, love and laughter

Slowly disappeared


Replaced by complete emptiness

A quiet so absolute

Filled with only memories

Now, a soulless  house ….a hollow mute

Premium MemberBest Pans For Sale

Knock-knock, hello ma'am! Take a look at this shine,
a brand-new skillet to make your dinner divine.
I see you’ve been working and slaving all day,
with pots that turn gravy, charcoal and gray.

But look at this surface, so sleek and so smooth,
designed for your kitchen, with patterns that soothe.
No butter, no grease, and no scrubbing the sink,
it cooks up a steak as quick as a wink.

Your eggs will slide out like a puck on the ice,
your hubby will swear, the chicken tastes nice.
It's forged out of steel that was meant for a jet,
the sturdiest tool that a woman can get.

So toss out that iron that weighs down your wrist,
an offer like this is too good to be missed.
Just sign on the line and I’ll hand you the best,
and give your old cook stove a much-needed rest.

Premium MemberVictorian Family Appearing out of Nowhere

this family was a throwback to the 1890’s I think
they appeared out of nowhere, a wormhole clink?
they were dressed like Victorians in feathers and fur
their child had a ****, and their horse gave a purr

fluffy in velvet gown and fancy boots was the wife
Husband wore a brocade vest and a top hat as sharp as a knife
the children were dressed to the maximum which we do not do
this Victorian family was a throwback to 1891 or 92.

Premium MemberNO ROOM

Family is important!
May that be something we never forget!
And may the memories we make together
leave no room for regrets.

Premium MemberDAILY GRATITUDE EXTENDED FAMILY

Given all my family members
including a multitude of friends 
I am grateful for just how far
my extended family extends
