Premium Member This Is Graduate School!!

This is Graduate School

What do you expect?!!
This is graduate school!!
The girl, glowed in her importance!!
This work was important!!
And who did he think he was, shirking work!
Our importance is pivotal.
For without importance, we’d have no artifacts.
And our importance oozes from smokestacks and chokes the very breath we breathe!
And our importance keeps us safe from the Jones’ below us, those miscreants!!
And our importance makes us real!!
We put a man on the moon!
I am that I am!  I am MAN!!!
And my towers reach to heaven and scream, “I no longer have need of you!”
But at night, some nights at least.
I look up to the sky,
And realize that I am stuck on a spinning rock, with no way out, and I have no idea where
I came from or where I am going?
And I know panic!


Premium Member In Memory Ofjohn Denver

This picture is of the Columbine flower by John Denver.
(He was dead long before the shootings at Columbine.)

 
In my life, I was  so blessed to meet you.
You cherished all people, nature, and I think
God designed His glorious sky just for you, too!

Besides your music, I know you cared about
all the hungry folks on this earth.
And you started the Hunger Project wherein
people could plant from our God’s fine earth.

You sang of God’s creation, which is far more
than I will ever do.
What an infinitesimal thing a POTD is, well, John, 
when compared to your tunes.

I am so glad to this day, I had a personal chance 
to talk with you.
You were as humble and beautiful as the twinkling 
stars at night we love  to view!

I have no idea why your plane crashed so-suddenly,  
with you into the dark sea..
But here is one of your photographs, that is as beautifully 
created ……as thee!

Premium Member Having the Virus

Cannot smell. Check. Cannot taste. Check.
Feeling like a Mac Truck ran over me.
Retracing my steps. Where did I go? Who did I see?
Who to blame? I confide in a friend.

She had it too. She encourages me to take it easy.
To slow down, to rest and drink lots of hot liquids.
Telling her was a comfort. Not sure why I thought it was a secret.
I call another friend, I trust. Let her know the news.

She is not well, her son tells me. Give her a week or so.
I figure she may have it too. I am not alone. This comforts me.
Dare I call a third friend? How will I feel if she does not have it?
Will I be jealous?  I have no idea, so I call.  There is no answer. 

Another friend calls me; one friend had violated my trust.
I had it, and so did Maridee, she tells me. Drink hot liquids.
Rest. Take it easy. You can get through this; you are young.
Do not let fear take over. I am strangely comforted.

Premium Member No Rhyme Or Reason

No rhyme or reason, this prolific verse
Comes flooding forth, least none can be explained
By blows to head, nor tumor sprouted, worse,
No courses in linguistics entertained.

Commencing with a rather simple dare
To cut the snark, to soften it with rhyme,
Yet in the midst, longing discovered there,
With lilting phrase, to scale the sweet sublime.

The recent shift in target audience,
to Bible tales for precious progeny,
Left higher forms arrested in suspense,
And made it crystal clear for eyes to see;

Though unbeknownst, forsythian sprang the muse,
Of late, I fear I channel Doctor Seuss.

----------

I think this was one of my first, back in '15 or so... At this point, I have no idea where 'forsythian' comes from, other than it is a prolific, flowering plant possessed of the proper number of syllables, lol.

Premium Member we want to be wizards

we want to be wizards stated the young owl
He meant he did, also his sidekick, T.V. Mowl
Mowl did whatever Henry wanted to do
He did not have a mind of his own, dendrites were few

Why wizards? I asked Henry, the lead owl always.
We think it will make October more fun, in several ways.
Can you name one of them? I asked him, wondering why.
We heard it will get us free cookies, cakes, and lemon pie.

I have no idea who told these owls this weird stuff.
Told them so, and Henry walked out in a huff.
T.W. Mowl stuck up his beak before he followed him.
He always mimics his much smarter friend.

Silently Cry......

I sit here and silently cry
For I feel life is passing me by.

I may smile and I may laugh
But that is not how I feel, not by half.

Inside I am just a giant mess,
Am told it is nothing but stress.

Not a soul truly sees,
The pain is bringing me to my knees!

Every choice and decision I second guess.
But how can I do anything less?

I have no idea what to do. 
Where am I going? Not a clue!

I am just wondering aimlessly along
Feeling like no where I belong.

Who am I and who am I meant to be?
Does anyone know? Please tell me!

I am tired of being lonely.
Tired of looking for my one and only.

Tired of being so cold and numb.
Tired of being treated like I am dumb.

Inside I have a heart of gold
It is not something that can be sold.

To the right person it will be given freely.
To the right man. I promise. Really.

Loving me is not ever going to be easy.
Not for the feint of heart or queasy.

But will be well worth it to the one in the in the end,
To take this heart and make it finally mend.

Humor For the Sinner

Hey,Father,give me my blessing.It's two posts since my last transmission

Yes,my child.What's wrong with that?

I have no idea,Father.

This is for confessing sins.

I know,it must be fascinating.Can you tell me a few general categories of the most popular sins?

But the confessional is sacred...

Well,I come here a lot and I'm running out of ideas for my blog.

Blogging is sinful.

Really?It's not mentioned in my Missal.

No doubt it will be in the next edition!

Why is it sinful?

I believe it takes your mind off the people around you.

Exactly!

Can't you do anything about these people?

I've tried praying for them,seducing them,ignoring them,emailing them.

And what happened.

Nothing at all.They just ignore me.

Why don't you ignore them?

That's a wonderful idea.

Now,to cut back your blogging you need to learn the oboe...

Why,Father?

You can't type when playing the oboe and it's cheaper than a piano..

Gosh,you are so clever.

And your playing will be so awful that it will make your housemates speak to you..

That's unlikely,they are all cats!

Oh,you nincompoop.Be off or I'll kick you out myself..

That's not wholly holy or even holey.

Be off or I'll send you a rhyme.

About time!

How about the design?
?
I am thinking, sublime?

Will it be mine?

Premium Member Internet Is Exasperating Today

The internet is making me mad, taking my energy, causing me sad.
I am so irritated and out of control, I could cry for sure.
The internet has crashed today, and made me terribly mad.
I am so angry, I feel grouchy, mean, and less than pure.

The internet which I did not even know about a few years ago,
is causing me distress, causing me to feel quite low.
The internet has given me so many new friends, as you know.
I have no idea what will happen if he becomes a foe.

He has been my friend in so many ways, lifting me up.
Bringing me friendships who make me happy while I troll and sup.
The internet has crashed at my house today. Sound the alarm.
In person I am doomed to be friendless, for I have no charm.

Premium Member 4th of July In My Hometown

The 4th of July in my hometown is
Bigger than Christmas 
Because all of the non-townies come home

It is bigger than Homecoming
There is a carnival, and a parade.
The high school band plays.

Concession stands all over the town square
Sell things we can only get in this little place once a year
Funnel cakes, cotton candy, firework snakes to light.

There are contests, and pony rides,
And screaming that begins at ten o’clock when the rides open
and lasts until the last ride is done at nine o’clock

The whole town show up at the park at 8:00 
To get their blankets and lawn chairs in place
for the fireworks set off by the firemen.

No one goes home until the last one is done.
There is always a long pause between the next to the last one
and the last one.

I have no idea why, but we all live for that pause
Knowing the last one is going to be so terrific
It will last us another year.

The Next Hill

The Next Hill

Leaving the city behind me
The lights disappear over the southern horizon
The sun has set in the western sky
The stars fill the sky before me
There are miles of pavement before me
I have no idea where I will end up
There is a slight glow in the sky before me
How long have I been driving?
It could be an hour
It could be most of the night
Am I even on the map anymore?
My GPS won’t even help
Somewhere out there is a city
Somewhere out there is a bed
For now I will just keep on driving
Putting more miles behind me
Looking forward to crossing the next hill
I fantasize over what I may find
Food or a woman to spend time with
A drink or two
Maybe just a bed
Whatever I find I may stop
I may rest my eyes for a few hours
Maybe I’ll just keep driving on
Travelling down that endless strip of asphalt
Looking for that next hill
Then I will stop, eat and sleep
Right after that next hill
So many miles away
