Life without her
would never be the same
She was the loudest, proudest
most endearingly brash
sugar-sweet and pickle-sour
five-foot-two, force to be reckoned with
that anyone in Yell county had ever met
I confess
I was somewhat obsessed
with Miss Mavis' hair as a child
perhaps it was the fact
that she was the only white woman
I'd ever seen sporting an
honest-to-Oh-My-Goodness Afro
And her hair hadn't always
looked like that
I'd seen photographic proof
pictures from the 60's that showed
her having a mile-high beehive
lacquered with layers of AquaNet
utterly unmovable
much like Miss Mavis herself
Never married, Miss Mavis' house
was unapologetically pink
in varying shades
Pink carpet, wall-to-wall
pink wallpaper, curtains, bedspread
even the ceiling above your head
pink on the tiles of the bath
pink toilet?! pink sink
pink details down to the
homemade tissue-box cozies
Looking for all the world
like the inside of an old lady 'collector's edition'
Barbie house, with rainbow-colored clashes
of crocheted kitsch thrown about everywhere
piles of clothes draped over chairs
comfy but cluttered, it had a crazy air
of outrageous audaciousness
She was more comfortable
being herself
than anyone I'd ever known
so natural
as if to say
who else would I be?
It never occurred to her
to even try
to become someone else's ideal
She was that real
It is in ponds, streams and rivers,
And also in lakes and oceans.
Sometimes it stands still,
But mostly it's in motion.
From the air, it will say hello,
From a dreary sky,
Showering you with love.
No longer you'll be dry!
Nothing is more refreshing
Than a glass of this wonderful water;
Even without sugar, lemon, ice and bubbles,
For which you'd have to order.
Waterslides and kayaking,
With water rolling over rocks,
Sometimes it's safe to engage,
Other times it's with feisty crocs!
The waves stir up emotion.
They impress us with their power.
Mighty, majestic and strong,
Their crash causes a foamy shower.
Water is also relaxing.
Think of that warm soak in the bath...
Water is used in playtime, for fun,
Squirting water at your friends - then you laugh!
Water is a force to be reckoned with -
Poetry in motion, as it were!
Its exotic reflection of the sky above,
One cannot help but stare!
Water can transform
Into a solid or a gas...
Let's top up our water vessels.
To water raise a glass!

She is a beauty,
She is a dream,
All who know her are privileged to rub shoulders with her,
Some are flooded with dreams of spending just a fraction of a second with her,
Basking under the ambiance of her presence.
She is a force to be reckoned with
A bag of the rarest dynamite.
From the curves and corners of her body
To the lusciousness of her features
She is captivating
A creature created like no other.
Those that try to understand her
Are driven to a further state of confusion,
Her beauty screams out loud,
But yet again it is subtle.
She oozes flamboyance
Every detail meticulously placed;
She is imperfect in the most perfect way,
Fiercely sexy, and incredibly cute at the same time..
SHE IS...

US Army
I'm a soldier, on the ground I stand
A defender of the land, throughout the land
I march through the mud, I climb the steep hill
My strength is tested, my spirit is still.
We are the defenders, the guardians of our land
United in purpose, hand in hand
We'll fight for freedom, till the very end
Our loyalty's unwavering, our resolve will transcend.

Our loyalty's unwavering, our resolve will transcend.

United in purpose, hand in hand
We'll fight for freedom, till the very end

I have great respect for you, and I have refused to take any of you for granted, even though I have never experienced your presence. Even though we do not always understand, I know that everything that God has created has also been given a time and purpose.
You are a mighty force to be reckoned with. I know that it is not your fault and that it is even beyond your control. The dear people of Texas suffered the wrath of Hurricane Harvey just a few days ago. He was a category 4 storm, and you, Irma are coming across the Caribbean as a category 5.
One loss of life is one too many, but with Harvey there were comparatively small numbers of lives lost. We are hoping and praying that God will hear our cry for lives to be spared by you also. One thing is sure: we can prepare for you and pray to God, because only God can control you.
You have been next to impossible to predict, and the models cannot get a real fix on you. You are strong; you are huge; and your winds speeds of 185 MPH are probably historical. Unfortunately, you might change all the rules about hurricanes. There is nothing like you, and you may be the most powerful in history. At 18 miles per hour, at least you are moving faster than Harvey, and that is a good thing for which we are grateful.
For Atlantic hurricanes like yourself, there is a list of names for every six years. So the 2017 list will be used again in 2023. This cycle changes if a storm is so deadly or costly that the use of it's name is deemed inappropriate. It is retired and removed from the rotation. For example, to name a few: Matthew 2016, Sandy 2012, Irene 2011, and Katrina 2005 are hurricane names that have been retired. Your name and Harvey's will not appear again. We also pray that no hurricane like you will ever cross the Caribbean again.
09062017 PS Contest #2, Another 2017 Stunner. Line Gauthier, 3P; Late October Standard, Brian Strand
A time remembered from a different era
A warm and gentle memory
When families prayed and stayed together
And you were here by me
We walked holding hands by the river's edge
Alone and at peace with the earth
Conquering the universe on our own
Giving it all it was worth
We were moving mountains and changing the world
Standing strong for what we believed
It seems as though it were all in vain
We spent a lifetime being deceived
Could it be that we were better then
Surviving misbegotten ideals
Were we a force to be reckoned with
The secret that nature reveals
Maybe the world didn't need to be changed
Maybe it was best left alone
There were people who spoke of living their dreams
While we had dreams of our own
I guess in the name of progress we gain
But in the end there is so much lost
There once was an innocence in all that we did
Was the progression worth the cost?
I see the bitterness polluting this world
a multitude of evil hides then divides
conquering with twisted visions of democracy
one joke history repeating past horrors return
Hurting innocent people tells another story
bullies who think they are above human justice
aggressors filled with pride in falsehood
you will fall heaviest of all
Suffering fleeing war victims as the devil marches forward
his army is arising from ashes darkness grips our planet
6 children a day dying, 3 world war two show mercy
for the love of all that holds good in this world
Such hardships giving up everything held dear
Look into your soul and know the mortal truth
only the blind hide and do not see selfishness
the one demon followed by others a legion
Fed like animals where is the loving joy that opens arms
Offering comfort to those in need have mercy
Peace unto this world sings with a warm heart
To love and understand our brothers and sisters plea
Please give them shelter
feed and clothe their weary bodies
in their hours of ache
With open arms I pray to God
Your salvation love and understanding the scriptures
we all know what must be done in our Lords name
Protect those families against the demon who hates and destroys families
Watching the news we are tainted with so much ugliness
lies drip fed to us twisted through the master deceivers hallow heart
We all know who sits at the head of a fork tongue
Peace is the way forward as greed wants war
only a fool arms themselves with hate their pride lies in bed with envy
Cunningly cursing everyone
curtains raise darkness you will kneel to the light
With power and glory supreme leader at your command
I bow with open eyes we see the path of complete destruction ahead
Faith is the sword of truth
openly we all should do more even in voice help
Do we stand for something or fall in our sins
I speak one soul because united we are many
Just a note to say Gary on What Kind of People Are We
after reading your piece these words flowed from my heart
thank you kindly for the insight and powerful pen filled with light and truth
Her parents wondered why she no longer went.
Even though there she would be sent.
Across his yard she would run.
To her friends on the other street to have fun.
The older she became, she would often submit.
To the point of feeling this was it.
That was who she was to become.
A young woman, she had to please everyone.
You had never gone to prison.
You had never done hard time.
Now your dead, without punishment.
This woman now has such resentment.
She still aches to often please.
No matter what fashion,
This feeling , she cannot appease.
She often worries she has done wrong.
That little girls voice rings in her ear. Oh so strong.
You took her will away.
Those cookies are what made her stay.
A trap you set, that even to this day.
She feels the need to please, in any way.
At age 42, now a mom and a grandmother.
She went to every length to protect her own, her sons and daughter.
She would kill for them if ever this would happen.
Her mind and soul would blacken.
A force to be reckoned with,
A mother with a past,
this is no myth!
Because of him and a few others after.
Her life was a big disaster.
However;
She grew stronger although
she still pleases and serves.
She can say she protected them, she observed.
She is now married to a wonderful man.
One who doesn't totally understand.
Only because herpast is just that.
So she keeps it under wrap.
She is who she is
because of all of this.
Stronger, determined, not amiss.
She angers easily when she hears tales
Of other children, pasts entails.
We all deal in our own way.
But the last thing she will say.
Is letting go of what was is key.
To beginning to heal, do you see?
If you hold on to what took place.
Then you are stuck in the past, misplaced.
Let go, let go.... fear no more.
Let those feeling go out the door.
Allow yourself to recover and rediscover who YOU are meant to be.
A human with compassion and create fond memories.

Voice like velvet
Positivity defined
Optimistic nature
Enchanting, sweet and kind
An image that's seductive
Rebellion at its core
An influence that's constructive
Charisma that opens doors
A persona that's gargantuan
A force to be reckoned with
A soul who's enigmatic
In this plane did exist
You brought us depth and music
And joy and light and hope
And now we are bemusing
The loss that was invoked
Thank God you filled our presence
With your triumphant songs
We danced and cheered while clapping
And also sang along
Oh, thank you George for everything
We'll miss you for all time
We hope you rest in divinity
Where blessings you will find
She walks with grace and elegance,
Her every step a dance of joy,
A woman of strength and resilience,
Her spirit free, her heart pure as gold.
Her eyes are deep pools of mystery,
Reflecting the depths of her soul,
Her smile a ray of warm sunshine,
That lights up even the darkest of days.
Her voice is music to the ears,
Soft and soothing like a lullaby,
Yet powerful enough to move mountains,
And inspire the world to greatness.
She is a force to be reckoned with,
A warrior in her own right,
Her courage and determination,
A beacon of hope in times of strife.
For she is a woman, strong and true,
A symbol of love and hope,
A shining example of all that's good,
In a world that sometimes seems so dark.
So here's to the women of the world,
The mothers, sisters, daughters, and friends,
May we honor and cherish them always,
And stand beside them until the very end.
