The gates open as a large crowd starts rushing in
A day of pomp and pageantry is about to begin
It is the first Saturday in May at Churchill Downs home of the Kentucky Derby
Top 3-year-olds from around the world circle the track in a frenzied hurry
The jockeys with their colorful outfits mount their horses
In just a few moments they will chart their course
The crowd is a sea of black and white colors with ladies wearing exquisite hats
Mint Juleps flow freely amongst the crowd as the patrons raise their glasses
A tribute to horses and jockeys 160 thousands people join in to sing My Old Kentucky Home
In a few minutes, the race will be run and the winner will be known
The horses are released from the starting gate the wait is over the race has begun
In the end, the horse I bet on comes out on top making the race that much more fun
There is a path in my garden
set that if you don't look,
if you are not adventurous
you wouldn't know it was there, but it is.
It winds and curls just beyond the red roses
under the pear and plum
down sloping along the black eyed susies
just pass the daylilies and the mint.
The slope itself sometimes flood from rain
deepening the path and keeping it free of weeds
as the lilacs stretch out with the roses
and catch your sleeve to direct your walk
The path continues far back along the fence
where a palette of rose of sharons bloom
in their pinks and reds and whites
and on occasion a purple shade of blue.
There unexpectedly the yard opens up
and the pond gurgles with life
as oranges, whites and yellow swim up
with the gaping open mouth of fish.
The side path suddenly disappears
but you can find it again
you just have to take a walk and look
but for me, I always know just where it is.

Appease the voice that speaks in hints:
Wait as you style the way you write;
Apt as sure choice the script you mint;
Inform your smile to sculpt fine cite;
There will be times when words seem slow;
Inspire your thoughts with right reading;
Notice that chimes will alter flow;
Glimpse feel and plot play with feelings.
Mind what you feed your mind and heart;
Yield to the touch that floods true seeing.
Mull as you seed the rhymes that start;
Urge sires as much wordplay coming;
Sign your name well in words that spring;
Explore and dwell on succinct flings.

Short short story
Wit not whimsy
Very short takes
Crisp tale you make
Brisk word count here
Watch magic steer
Choice in brisk strokes
Mint poignant yoke
Think in warm feel
Wordplay now will
Flow in swift strides
Watch story glide
Finesse works zest
Micro tale quest
In a few lines
Panache works fine
Sketch not a lot
Ply precise plot
Tell in quick shot
More than a lot
Time in brisk poke
Unleash deep yoke
Textures spark mint
Reflect buzz tint
So here we go
Catch set glimpse lo!

Am I missing something meaningful
"Show time" has its pull
But what truly feeds,
Transcending personal needs?
There are dreams of God for you!
Pursue them; He knows what's true.
Do they make you laugh; is it funny,
Joyful and fresh like honey?
Hear another's suggestion,
Not stagnate but from profession
Not niche but a broader view
There's something good for you.
You're worth a real call,
Not just a text but in front of all.
You can be the Real-Deal,
Authentic with a natural feel.
If need be shift your priorities
Like peas and carrots or carrots and peas
Be easy, unpressured but do it!
You're incredible and just need to sit
At the feet of Jesus for a while
As part of His team to listen and to feel His smile
Find out what "Meaningful" could mean
Life must be more than media and plus
It's made to bless and to challenge us.
Like Mint with so many varieties
Life with Meaning sees
The beautiful moment behind a face,
Finds a Comfort in any place,
Ground Zero with nothing fake,
With God, peace and joy to make.
Hearing the Original Version,
Find your own Passion!
Meaning will open your eyes,
Bring possibilities up to the skies
But then back to Home-Abode,
Your village and your road.
Jealousy flashed in Jade’s envious emerald eyes
She’d spied her ex boyfriend walking towards the pine forest
He was hand in hand ….with her best friend Fern!
Fern looked stunning in her skin tight mint coloured jeans
Jade wanted to confront them but she bottled out
How could she have been so naive!
Last time she’d seen Fern they’d sat and sipped Vodka and lime
Jade had spilled her heart toFern
Told her she thought her boyfriend was cheating on her
Now she realised that Fern had cried crocodile tears with her -
Her compassion was just a lie.
Jade could never hold out an Olive branch and forgive them for their deceit

I'm the Ice Cream Man and here in town
With some tasty treats for you. So gather around.
Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry swirl,
And raspberry, too; that'll make your hair twirl.
Each flavor of ice cream will tickle your taste buds;
It's all natural and better than mud.
Caramel, butter pecan, cookies and cream:
We all want it! So let me hear you scream!
Rocky Road, mint chocolate chip; it just doesn't stop!
You can add sprinkles and a cherry on top.
Everyone is welcome. Don't push or crowd.
You all get your share. No fighting allowed!
And I need to mention the cost of this dessert:
It's only $3. I'm sure that wouldn't hurt.
May your summer be filled with endless fun,
And lots of ice cream for everyone.
Stillness prompts peace where freshness airs,
Apt streams of light sparkle and shine;
Calm mellows ease with succinct flair,
Rich lavish sights cast moments fine;
Embrace fond chimes where love makes whole,
Dance and dream well of wonder's grace.
Silence brings rhymes to touch deep soul,
Prize sacred tell in poignant space;
Ascend true flight with waves of joy,
Choice firms bold poise as finesse crafts;
Enlist thought right in glimpse of plot.
Noise dilutes voice in makeshift draft,
Observe bright tints of happy finds,
Word thus grand mint as feel moves mind.

Spring sunshine sparkling hurls dawn's bright rainbow,
Morning birdsong in warm cheery delight;
Outburst of greening shoots dazzle high and low,
Feel soul deep within set right resolve and sight.
Splash of magic here in moments mystic,
Joy wears a sure trace of charm that glows;
Sense a profound cheer arise dynamic,
Intuit a clear trace as sublime calm shows.
Here and all around bold colours bright tint,
Feel old troubles wild now falter to dust;
Meet thus joy profound as sparkling hues mint,
Know the inner child where heart esteems trust.
Watch the weather dance in splendour and zest,
Seize beauty in trance of life's poignant fest.

Jewel layer templates
gilded upstream sigh
winsome eyelet skimmed
scorning dawn orb
Delphic mustard sketch
on sapphire sequins
Appalachian awning
bearing flimsy nuggets
surreal slender straw’s
amber seam gore
lentil seed pod float
upon cashmere shrub
rainbird doleful cry
of damp gray epoch
amid citrus rind
cloud form sun drench
flabbergasted bard now
flailing as tinted
backscatter orange
alert impacts
banana belt script
beleaguered poet yens
tangential sepia pitch
for effervescent voyage
golden jug muse
saliva whorl thimbleful
as earthly thoughts
shimmer edgeways
while the isthmus
of indented arcades
random periwinkle
brushed aside by
spineless green matrix
adapted pun bound
to lace immersive
benign rapt plumage
hedgerow chirper squall
willow warbler, goldcrest
red bunting, greenfinch
broader scope anon
spotted flycatcher fitz-bew
amongst Glen thicket
a subdued tumult
but latent twitter
mint coda riot
paper craft adrift
hankers after worlds
ethereal and
neon-wrought ploy
incandescent dream lure
suburb tang visceral
round acorn strip
fenced circlegram
hub, imbiber of
fluctuating shade
and swerve corridor
of urban transit
where pavement
clad mosaic flaunts
its pear cut diamond
