An Invitation, a Wish, and a Prayer

i want to invite you over to my place
i have surprisingly been in the doggone kitchen
i had to clean the dust out of there first off of everything except, of course, for the microwave
i baked a chicken and tuna casserole
i made shells and cheese with bacon bits
i made some homemade honey butter biscuits
i even included some chicken soup with rice (a la carole king)
for dessert, i prepared a classic buttercream cake
i also, for the first time ever, tried grandpa's famous cinnamon apple pie
now would you like to come over to my place
if so, then all you have to do is bring the cool whip and your appetite
i will take care of the rest of the rest
the pleasure of your effervescent presence will be joyfully welcomed
i will actually be looking forward to the doorbell ringing

Premium Member My Souper Girlfriends

I met them once I landed in a place, 
they called it haven, a soiree place. 
Where people are nice,kind and cool. 
Some are young, some are....never mind. 
They're awesome people!

I first met this blonde lady,thought she's only twenty.
She did refused, said she's almost a mother to me. 
I beg to disagree,'cos she's more than just a mom. 
She's a bestfriend, she's wonderwoman. 
She lives in Norway,Anne Lise Andresen was her name. 

There goes a new avatar,who came to visit on my land. 
She's wearring sunglasses,but can't hide the beauty from behind.
Then I found out lately, she doesn't just own a pretty face.
She is the sexiest and hottest momsie,rockin' up poetry.
She's a real poet master,SkAT A.,that's her name! 

One day I sat down and read some poetries, 
So delightful,inspiring, and awesome pieces. 
I got struck to what I've found. 
A Filipina who's writing with charms, 
Her poems are incredibly great, 
She's Nette Onclaud, the goddess poet! 

I came to land another page, thought at first that's a cage. 
Of a tigress with full of angst and strength. 
I must admit, though I was afraid, I admire all the pieces she had made. 
She left the table and threw the soup,and think tha'ts the last time I'll see her poem. 
But with revenge she went back home, and send me greetings that I treasured. 
With friendly comment I came to know, this tigress is tame and a sweet person. 
Who is she?...the everbody's love and favorite, Poet Destroyer!

As time goes by, and my journey went long.
I had to passed in different stations.
I came to know so many beautiful people,
So kind and thoughtful, their arts are treasures.

There came to visit my poem one day, 
Though full of greiving,they cheered me so well.
They are Mary Jo ,Eileen, F.J. ,Vie and Shadow.
The women who are pride of this site.
The pretty ladies who always been there to lift you high.

Above all these awesome experience,
Is to know the people from my own motherland.
My country fellas, so sweet,cool and nice.
They are the crystal flowers glisten brightly like a star.
They are Leonora, Maria Paz, Nikko and Carole...

My day became brighter, you light the path I walk.
Everytime your greetings knock on my door.
Allow me to do the honor to thank you guys.
And let you all know how thankful I am.
My dream has came true, because of this site.

REGULARS

REGULARS 

Wednesdays, Fridays and 
Weekends are my shifts. 

When I am there, regulars turn up 
which is as exciting as getting gifts.

Let’s start with Carole and Jackie 
having so much energy in the morning. 
I can hear their voices from down
the road to my adoring.
Two coffees or two teas but
never gravy and water from peas.
Always having a story to tell,
And we always have a laughing spell, 
Having a sense of humour that is hip and quick, 
I do see Carole licking foam 
off her wooden coffee stick! 

Moving on to Angie and John, 
“A pot of tea please" the kettle I go 
and merrily put on. I’m still baffled 
by their self-fixing Corsa car. 
On evenings, they enjoy going 
to The Southcliffe Bar. They love
Bridlington except for when 
it’s busy in the streets. 
I’m always delighted to see them 
come in and take their usual seats,
A 70/30 split heated sausage roll, 
as they ask me about a potential  
minor TV role, 
I ask what cafe’s they’ve been to,
and always hear the portion sizes 
are too big to get through!

Josie on Saturdays with 
her telephone phone call, 
I love saving her “shipping order”, 
it’s no problem at all, 
Getting up to all sorts like 
gardening and swimming at the leisure centre,
It’s always a delight when I see her enter.

Wendy comes in at the end of the week, 
seeing her brings a smile to my cheek. 
It’s nice to see a fellow author,
having wrote a book about 
Sewerby with a co-author.
Paying for her shopping on her 
mobile phone up to date with her tech,
She’s so advanced I bet she hasn’t touched
in years the likes of a cheque!

There’s plenty more who come in off the street,
The most brilliant people you’ll ever meet. 
Being so privileged to have gotten to meet them 
all over the span of seven years,
I certainly owe them a few beers. So cheers!

Premium Member Tis the Season Collaboration With Carole Duet

In this season of festive cheer,
as hours fade into the new year,
spare a thought for those who live in fear,
who have no one to wipe away their tear. 

Think of the children in this season of joy,
girls and boys without a single toy.
Their joy is just a day of peace,
when the bombs finally cease.

When you sit there comfortable and warm,
Think of the homeless struggling in the storm.
Why is it so difficult to understand,
for them this is no winter wonderland.

Some are alone in a nursing home,
Waiting for a loved one to phone
Or watching their door
Hoping it will open once more.

Touch the hearts of those lonesome tonight,
simple gestures will fill them with delight.
Remind an orphan to keep faith in life,
give them hope when struggles are rife.

With compassion, bombs will remain silent,
tongues must speak against those who are violent.
Only love can dilute streams of hate,
reach out to those in pain, to change their fate.

Premium Member Singers of Blues

Billy Ray Cyrus sings of a state of mind
      Donovan of periwinkle shells
            The Bionaut's of streams aquamarine
      
Paul McCarty rocked about those bells
      Carole King about a royal hue
            Frank Sinatra croons of sapphire skies

Fleetwood Mac has album Cerulean
      Brian Wilson cries of shades of eyes
            Blu Cantrell of cobalt powder
       
Big Moe has lyrics about teal green
       Double Trouble turquoise teardrops
            Jake Bugg beautiful indigo horizons

Brevity in Blue Contest by Dale Gregory Cozart
Fifth Place


The Kennedy Center

The Kennedy Center is known to the world
For honoring those in the arts – 
From Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Astaire,
Whose talents top all of the charts.

Sinatra, Gene Kelly, L. Bernstein, Kazan
And Benny and Lena and Merce,
Ray Charles, Lucille Ball, Isaac Stern and George Burns,
The list both profound and diverse.

Belafonte and Ailey and Hepburn and Peck,
Gillespie and Sondheim, the Who;
Aretha and Dylan and Kander and Ebb,
Judith Jamison, Chuck Berry, too.

Baryshnikov, Quincy, Paul Simon and Cash,
Warren Beatty, James Taylor and Cher;
Tina Turner and Spielberg and Barbra and Tharp,
Yo Yo Ma, Dustin Hoffman – all there.

Al Pacino and Elton, De Niro and Streep,
Lily Tomlin, Santana and Sting;
LL Cool J and Reba and Joni, Mel Brooks,
Lionel, Dick Van Dyke, Carole King.

There are more I’ve not mentioned, but going ahead,
It is going to be quite a shock
When the Kennedy Center will honor, perhaps,
Village People or maybe Kid Rock.

Oh, I fear for this country in so many ways
And it feels we’ve been stabbed in our hearts
With the Kennedy Center now being run
By a man with no stake in the arts.

Premium Member Lyrics of a Song - 1

* 

When the lyrics of a song read like poetry,
it is those songwrittes who do most truely impress me.

*

Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow

Tonight you're mine completely.
You give your love so sweetly.
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes,
but will you still love me tomorrow?
Is this a lasting treasure
or just a moment's pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sigh?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Tonight with words unspoken
you'll say that I'm the only one,
but will my heart be broken
when the night meets the morning sun?
I need to know that your love
is love I can be sure of,
so tell me now and I won't ask again.
Will you still love me tomorrow?

*

G'Raitt

Springsteen has his Jersey girls,
But I don’t belong there.
When Bon Jovi takes the stage,
I would just feel wrong there.

Randy Newman’s songs are great
And I love Paul Simon.
Billy Joel does justice to
His lyrics’ perfect rhymin’.

Carole King can nail a tune
And I dig Tom Petty.
If James Taylor is performing,
Get me there – I’m ready.

Yet there’s someone who can cause
My blood to percolate
When she belts a melody – 
I’m talkin’ Bonnie Raitt.

Sorta country, kinda rock;
Deep and rich and bluesy.
Every note and word she sings
Is sure to be a doozy.

When I catch her on CD,
The radio or stage,
She still sounds as good to me
As she did half her age.

Keep on groovin’, Bonnie Raitt
And let your music soar;
‘Cause when I hear your magic voice,
I want to hear some more.

Thank You All and a Very Merry Christmas

Just wanted to say a very big thank you to all you amazing poets who took the time to comment 
on my last post ‘Sunny Horizons’
I would have loved to thank each and every one of you individually, but as I said before –
 ‘Time waits for no Man ‘and has a way of running away from me…literally.

To my constant support from the time I joined and still… Demetrios and Silent One - I have learned so much from you
two amazing poets, spiritually and poetically. Thank you for all the help over my poetic journey.
To my dear friend Victor Buhagiar, keep writing, never ever stop. Who can forget your stories, especially your poems 
with the twist - I adored them.
Paul Callus, you also have helped me so much along the way, especially with your attention to detail and your 
encouragement - thank you my dear friend.
To my Love and Light brother Winged Warrior, you are truly amazing. 
I don’t think anyone can write internal rhyme like you do. Keep spreading your light.
To my amazing poetic sisters Cecilia Crasto, Susan Ashley, Connie Wong, Carole Duet and Besma - You ladies made my 
day with your comments, they are worth framing, believe me.
Robert Linley, Vijay, Tom, Arturo, Faraz, Craig Cornish, and July Morning, Martin Williams and Charlie Messina... 
I will always treasure your comments.
Judy Stickles and Akkina, a big thank you to you two lovely ladies. 
Thanks for being in my life
Sunshine Smile, Darren White, Teppo, Chris Green and Word Hobo, the very first poets who welcomed me 
into the Soup and made me feel so welcome…Thank you.
To Heidi Sands, Brandy, Eve, Sunlite, Warren Doll, John Gondolf, Joseph May, Mike Gentle, Michael Wise, Raw Thinker 
and to the poets who have come and gone and had supported me…
Thank you all too.
You are all truly amazing poets, forever let your golden ink flow.

Lastly let me leave you with these parting words …
Keep your passion for poetry always for as W.H.Auden once said
A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language. ? W.H. Auden
