Great songs

Filled with special delight
Let your burning candle shine
From your yum cake royally dine
May your family and friends enjoy
Your birthday with a great poetess friend
Now tell me the big number if you will

Thirty-one and holding I see
Hope your day is full of glee
Wishing you more birthdays

The Etheree poem was created about twenty years ago by an Arkansas poet named Etheree
Taylor Armstrong. The poem consists of ten lines of unmetered verse. The lines may also be
rhymed or unrhymed depending on the style of the author. The first line of the poem has
only one syllable. Thereafter, each succeeding line adds another syllable. There is a total
syllable count of fifty-five in the poem. The Etheree poem is similar to a Nonet poem with the
exception of the 10th line and syllable count. The Nonet only has 45 syllables, which is 16
shorter than the Etheree poem. One may get creative and write an Etheree with more than
one verse. This may take the form of a Double Etheree: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, then 10,
9, 8, 7, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1; that is the style in which this poem is written.

On the corner of East and West streets,
there is a parallel lane that
heads south, and just north of that,
there are three roads in a
four-block radius
next to a six
lane freeway
and a
bike
path
and a
Pet Park with
a dog run by
the racetrack next to
the railroad yard between
the docks and the airport but
officer, my friend will drive me
home since I live eighty miles away.
*After celebrating my September 3rd birthday with my friend out of town, wearing my grey-seal hush puppies, I walked to the nearest phone booth (no such thing as cellphone people) to call a nearby friend, because the guy that brought me was just loaded into a cab being too drunk. I'm the only one who doesn't live in the area, and I ain't paying for no $100 cab ride. After hanging up with my friend, I slumped down in the phone booth with my hush puppies out the door, and the local police showed up and took my statement. They gave me a copy since my friend showed up. My friend told me to read it because he never saw a place like it in the San Francisco bay area. My nonet describes several different places miles apart. I'm describing two of my sisters' homes, my third sister's workplace (bike path), my workplace (airport/docks), my parents home (pet park) and my home (BART train/racetrack). Six-lane freeways are everywhere. The title says it.

Have you ever listened to The silence of God? I have
The tear shaped raindrop as it Plops splattering upon a leaf
Forming a stream that rushes as a river from source to mouth
Once again forming a tear shape at the leaf’s very tip
Then nature's nectar repeats its journey striking another leaf
Have you ever listened to God's silence. I have.
I feel the warm, bright, glow and hear the roaring from afar
As God's great sphere of fire sets in the western sky
Listen as the sun sizzles, and sinks below the Earth's horizon
Casting a reddish orange hue across a darkening blue sky
Have you ever listened to God's silence? I have.
There is a rustling among the vegetation that fills the woodlands
As minute, petite, sensitive feet quickly scamper about
Foraging forward and backward, skipping and hopping
Searching for the safety among a profound beauty
Seeking and finding disappearance among the blending foliage
Which exist in a deep, and darkening forest of green
Have you ever listened to the silence of God? I have.
The violent crash of tumbling ocean waves
As the roaring foam pounds upon the sandy beaches of white
Then spreads its contents and quickly returns to its commence
Beyond the spilling of the ocean standing proudly are sea oats
Bending not breaking but gently swaying, dancing with content
In a natural harmony that plays in a soft whistle of a salty breeze
Have you ever strolled among God's silence? I have.
Watching as robust pelican flies low in the sky
Almost kissing the rolling waves beneath his flight
A sanderling chases the ocean foam back from whence it came
As above the long winged gull gracefully glides
While scrounging for anything it may break fast upon
Have you ever listened to God's silence? I have.

G.L. All
Blessing are everywhere to be seen,
large ones for you and some for me,
many are small as can be, look very carefully, may not be right here, look high and low missing out, oh no, me.
One, prayer, they have said, by day and night, all will be alright, blessings from heaven come, when we least expect them here, God knows our prayers-many cares, today a prayer to God above.

On this day I complete on the earth
*Seventy five years, one regret
My children and grand children
Surrounding me with love
Reminds me go back
My childhood
Days I missed
With my
Dad.
Dad
Caring
My mentor
Sacrificing
Everything for me
Worked in rustic village
Living alone, cooking bread
On rustic stove, living sage life
Putting me in high-school in a town.
He didn’t live to see what I have scored
Himself primary school teacher
No chance, surrounding him ever.
Me lust busy upstairs
Dad dying downstairs
In the morning
Lay in bed
uncared
Dead.

1.Fill me up, I am always lacking.
Consumption, the name of the game.
The hunger devours the horse,
fattens me to the core.
I'm about to burst...
Always empty,
yet full of
loveless
fear.
2. My my what a big piece of the pie!
Pension raiders anonymous.
We live to carry secrets,
yearning to fill this need.
Profit devotees
live a life of
penniless
loveless
fear.
3. I mean honest to God, what's the point?
We're all gonna die...why bother?
I may as well just sit here
wallowing in despair,
a quiet, lonely,
unproductive
slacker. A
loveless
fear.
4. You want the goods? I'll give you the goods!
Come here baby and say hello.
How easy is it to come
to life, awe inspiring
mother to us all
prostituting
shame, guilt, and
loveless
fear.
5. Mirror mirror on the bathroom wall.
Am I pretty enough to be
a beauty queen? Parade me
around in fancy cars.
I must protect my
reputation
hinged on a
loveless
fear.
6. Grass is greener on the other side.
Why wouldn't it be? These neighbors
are so filthy rich with their
hundred thousand dollar
landscaping jobs and
mansions built on
envious
loveless
fear.
7. In the end there was always hatred,
deeply seated, mindless, blind rage.
Searching for a suitable
target. Lies built on lies.
Ready to explode:
unforgiving,
merciless,
loveless
fear.
By all means, you sinless wretch
Go ahead, live on cloud nine!
But I can't share in your euphoric state of ecstasy...
I just don't feel that way about myself
never have
never will
*dedicated to Kevin Spacey and his love of all things sinful.
In this world of chaos and confusion,
Where wars and hatred seem to reign,
I still hold on to my hopes and dreams,
And pray for a brighter, better world to sustain.
I hope for a world where love is the language,
And kindness and compassion are the norm,
Where people see the good in each other,
And help each other weather any storm.
I hope for a world where the air is clean,
And nature thrives in all its splendor,
Where humans live in harmony with the earth,
And strive to be its true defender.
I hope for a world where all are equal,
And justice prevails in every land,
Where every person is treated with respect,
And bigotry and prejudice are banned.
I hope for a world where children can play,
Without fear of harm or danger,
Where their innocence is preserved and protected,
And their futures are always getting brighter.
I hope for a world where knowledge is power,
And education is a right for all,
Where people are encouraged to learn and grow,
And their potential is never held small.
I hope for a world where laughter abounds,
And joy is found in every heart,
Where people celebrate each other's differences,
And come together to create a new start.
I know these hopes may seem like a distant dream,
But I hold them close and never lose sight,
For the power of hope is a mighty thing,
And it can help us all to reach the light.
So let us work together to make these hopes a reality,
And strive to be the change we want to see,
For a better world is within our reach,
If we believe and work towards unity.

Hope is the flame that burns within,
A spark that ignites even in the darkest of sin.
It gives us courage to face our fears,
And dries the tears we've cried for years.
Hope is the light that shines so bright,
Guiding us through the darkest night.
It whispers softly in our ear,
"Keep going, my dear, you have nothing to fear."
Hope is the anchor that keeps us steady,
When the winds of life are strong and unsteady.
It reminds us that we're not alone,
And gives us strength to carry on.
So hold on to hope, don't let it go,
For it will carry you through the ebb and flow.
With hope in your heart and a smile on your face,
You can conquer any challenge, any place.
Hope is a flame that burns so bright,
A guiding light through darkest night,
A seed of strength that helps us cope,
And fills our hearts with endless hope.
With hope in hand, we bravely face,
The trials that we cannot erase,
And though the journey may be tough,
We know that we will rise above.
For hope gives us the will to try,
And helps us soar when we feel we can't fly,
It fuels our dreams and ignites our soul,
And gives us the courage to reach our goal.
So hold on tight to hope each day,
And let it light your every way,
For even in the darkest hour,
Hope has the power to bring us power.
So let us never lose sight of hope,
For with it, we can surely cope,
And know that no matter what life may bring,
Hope will always help us spread our wings.
