Light Hearted Kid
Do you remember when phones had a cord to the wall outlet?
Our son was about five years old.
We were in a hotel room and he wanted to call daddy.
He ran over to the phone and picked it up.
As he looked at me with a very puzzled look, he said it has no dial

My Light-Hearted Kids Poem
Kids are rough.
They make my shoulders tired.
My eyes ruddy.
They make me 2nd,
3rd, 4th guess myself.
All of reality is questioned
And I’m summoned for answers.
Constantly running out of juice.
The fridge and pantries are stuffed to the gills
With every non-preferred food item imaginable.
I look over at my 3 persuasive goblin angels.
They appear to laugh and cry at

Infinity Blessings
Waking up to the sound of birds,
Flying and chirping along the wave of the wind.
The long awaited comfort of the warm sunrise,
Finally dispels the coldness of the night.
Beauty can be seen through everywhere,
Through sight, sound, touch and feelings.
Oh wait, how forgetful I am,
Life has always been a bliss.
Infinite blessings that seems to be neverending,
The feeling

A Lighthearted Peek At The Apocalyptic World Of Poetry Contests
This contest style’s description is one I’ve never heard
I’m unfamiliar with that particular word
An internet search comes up empty
However, others seem to have poems aplenty
My eyes are getting blurry a total collapse seems imminent
Quickly penning an entry appears to be the only way out of my predicament
My freshly emerged imposter’s

LIGHT HEARTED
Leaving behind the swords of doubt
Removing uncertainties cloud
Increasing Joy's sound
Let the heart be found
which was once wrapped in the shroud
Let's become stout-hearted
And click a picture with a pout
This is what this year is all about

Pow Wow
I long to dance and chant around the orange crackling fire in front of my tribe, the Sioux
Hot humid July night.
Sweat and passion.
Kick up the dust from my ancestors teachings.
Yip and scream my heart's desire.
We are one.
God is to be feared.
He made us to be revered.
Join me, won't you?
Release your fear, worry,

Poker
Feel the rush,
Chased the ghost,
These are the things
We miss the most.
All of the laughs and all the cries,
These are the words behind the lies.
Never again and never enough,
Know when to hold and when to bluff.
Defeated myself,
Forgot the past.
These are the times,
That never last.
Deception and truth,
Smoke and the mirrors,
Groans and the moans,
Laughs and the cheers.

Strawberry Moon
You don’t look much like a strawberry, moon
But you do look like a shortcake in June
Round and gold and waiting for that sweet mess
Of strawberries and syrupy sugar, oh yes
I can sort of see it now, like a summer dream
Of beaches and carnivals, heaped with whipped cream
Now you’re gleaming white and clean as an empty

Frog's Monologue
Emerald green, he gleams
With rich, vibrant hues
Sitting by the water, he dreams
I wonder about his muse
Singing to the wind and stars
Joy seems his greatest skill
Maybe he is really from Mars
His voice is so loud and shrill
Echoing faintly on the night
Laughing in the shadowy dark
Gracious, he shines so bright
He should be someone’s trademark
Lively and filled with

Eternally
I am happy.
I am free.
I’m excited,
To be me.
To be me,
Is a gift from God,
Because I’m His,
Eternally.
Eternally,
I’m ever changing,
Ever growing,
And rearranging.
And rearranging,
Is what I do best.
It’s my sacred quest,
To ever pass this test.
To ever pass this test,
Is why I’m here,
And I’m here, to win this war,
To return home with honor.
To return home with honor,
Is what

A Light-Hearted Christmas
late at night
a shepherd
woke his wife
I saw...heard
angels sing
in the sky!
it’s the wine
she mumbled
or UFOs!

Light-Hearted
I like the Light on the water.
I like the Light on the snow.
I like the Light in the hollow.
I like the Light through the fog.
I like the Light piercing cloudbanks.
I like the Light in the glade.
I like the Light komorebi in Spring.
I like the Light cafuné in late day.
I like the Light mångata in Arjuna’s

Light Hearted
Somewhere beyond this there's recovery
Somewhere between the heart and the mind
Sooner or later we will find peace, love and
Joy...we just have to believe even in our
Darkest hour there a light within that always
Shines so don't be so hard on yourself
This too shall pass, keep the faith 'cuz what's
Past is best left in the past...allow yourself
