Give thanks if you're healthy
And give thanks if you're not;
Make sure to appreciate
Whatever it is that you've got.
Just be grateful, my dear,
Give thanks with good cheer.
Give thanks if you're single,
Give thanks if you're married;
Doesn't matter at all
If you're happy or harried.
Just be grateful, my dear,
Give thanks with good cheer.
Give thanks for jobs you've had,
And for ones that you've lost;
For the roof o'er your head,
And your warm, cozy bed.
Just be grateful, my dear,
Give thanks with good cheer
Give thanks for your wardrobe,
For the clothes in your drawer;
For the shoes on your feet
And those in the store.
Give thanks for the cop
Who tickets your car,
Or prevents you from drinking
Too much at the bar.
Just be grateful, my dear,
And give thanks with good cheer.
Give thanks to G-d
Who put you on Earth,
Who blessed you and your mother
With the miracle called birth.
Who awakens you in the morning
And lays you to sleep at night;
Who believes all through the airyness,
That you'll soon see His Light.
Yes: Just be grateful, my dear,
Now that Thanksgiving is here.

Your first poem on Poetry Soup Contest
Sponsor: Silent One
Whatever did I do to wile away the time
Before poetry took over my brain
Walked around staring blankly into space
Burping and expelling methane
Really no direction I was truly a lost soul
The word 'zombie' enters my mind
But now I'm alive and cooking with gas
Rhyming away line after line
Friends all say, “knock that stuff off!”
Love to but my brain is obsessed
Even rhyme when I'm ordering a pizza
With this affliction I've surely been blessed
I lovingly remember the carefree days
Before poetry took over my life
I went to the park and did normal things
Like threatening little kids with a knife
If you think that line wasn't appropriate
Couldn't find another to rhyme
So don't go writing me nasty letters
I'm really not the violent kind
To end this silliness on an upbeat note
I've ended up on Poetry Soup
Met a big bunch of real friendly people
Sure happy I'm now in the loop

dear dad
I carn't say I love you
I carn't say that I care
untill in heaven one day I will meet you there
you have been gone quite a while
so forgive me if today I do not always smile
I love you dad even though we are apart
but your memory lives on in my heart.
I miss you so much dad rest in peace untill we meet again xxxx
To all my dear friends on poetry soup, today show your dads how much that you care
for we never know how long that they will be there, spoil them like they never been spoilt
before for they are the ones that we will always adore, make the most of every second you
possibly can, God bless you from diane.
On poetry Soup there are many Souperstars
Who appear on stage everyday.
A family of friends from all walks of life.
Sharing their thoughts in a poetic way.
They can take you on a journey
To far off lands of make believe.
Living as one with God and nature
Sharing the joys of love,and harmony.
Baring their dreams with the world
Many times they walk alone.
Through a field of poetic darkness
Towards the light, that's calling them home.
Yes these poets are a special breed
Stop and look then you will find.
The joys and pains of why they write
When you read between the lines.
There is this space called my Poem Place,
Each morning I rush to settle in.
My standard routine, warmed by caffeine
gets in gear once I pick up my pen.
Picking up my pen means I begin
with my computer and my notebook.
Microsoft Word and Rhyme Zone ready,
I open Farlex Free and One Look.
Now all I need are "thoughts" to proceed.
I click the icon, Poetry Soup,
Forms are the tool that makes my pen drool
And blogs spark my mind to regroup.
Reading is spice, but what's really nice
is when ideas flow through my brain.
If I come up short, my next resort,
Members' contests, my mental food chain.
Myriad prompts serve my pen with verve.
Once I bookmark the ones that appeal,
my turn at bat; I choose God's format
to see what rhyme and Reason reveal.

Turning poetic pages whilst on Poetry Soup
I meet so many poets who fill me with awe
Their talent
Their words
flow freely from their quills
If only
I had just a speck
of their exquisite poetic skills
I write from the heart
Plain and simple it is true
~
but one day
~
my aspiration
~
to write poetry as good as you…

Fight Corona Through Breathing & Music Part 1 of 2
My apology from all those whom I informed to post this msg. On PS 3-4 days earlier. I thought first to place a video on You Tube and then post it on Poetry Soup so that, you may find it easy to learn the great
Musical Yoga for giving a new confidence and hope to all those who try to learn this art of music.

For learning these simple Indian Musical wonderful notes and Practicing it,
To make you more strong, and sturdy,
To face the emerging new challenges of Corona. 01
.
The daily practice of SARGAM ( Musical Notes)
of Indian Classical Music) Is capable to boost your body energy and your confidence level,
It would also make your lungs more strong to pump more oxygen in your body,
This effort would improve every ailing organs in your body with minimum medicines and care. 02
.
These exercises requires no other additional medicines than what you may be taking as per the advice of your physician,
The only thing which can be more beneficial is a input of a matching Sound of Music with your voice, which is not possible due to Corona problems and I have given it in the video itself for general use.
It can be tried and practiced by anyone of any age group healthy or sick with the music as given by me on my You Tube Video.
Even those, who are bed confined, they too can try it- if can do it from their bed itself by sitting on bed (Unless sitting is not allowed to them). 03
.
This Video is not a medicine of Corona but it is a wonderful precaution to keep Corona away from us, as much it is possible, as it improves our general immune system. 04

thought as poetry
past present future surreal
pure expressions cure
deific communing in time
softly breath stitches rare rhymes
stillness turns wheel feel
creating cosmic garlands
recognise lyrics
emotions eclectic ebbs
awakens colourful dreams
mirror reflections
nouns verbs adjectives adverbs
ether air worded
fire water earth stanzas
carries stories converses
stimulates seconds
fathoms then embraces faith
promotes perfect peace
forms galore eastern western
feeding fertility flames
intrinsic to life
advances awareness awed
forge fraternity
transmuting darkness to art
wisdom deepens liberty

Day Break
One day I came home from work
A little early, a little tired
It was my last day. I was fired.
I called for my wife, “Honey, I’m home!”
She must be bathing
Things looked different in the house
Something had really changed
There was something missing
It was everything including light bulbs
I was getting too old for this
Was it something that I said?
Did she know about my job?
I would like to look into myself into the mirror
To find out who I am and what I've done
But it was gone as well
Honey left a note taped to the wall
Where a refrigerator had been
It simply read; “Drop dead.” “I’m leaving you.”
“Thanks for the fun and furniture.”
“It’s time for you to move on too…so…Moving on….Go!”

John Wulf, with his funny Limerick antics telling funny hilarious stories,
“viagraology
There once was a medical study
of things flapping flaccid like putty
those men given placebo
couldn’t enter gazebo
it drove the poor fellas plumb nutty

but also has his very soft spot for all of us
Then there is my very favorite lady, Jan Allison, with all her humorous poems,
ANOTHER VIAGRA POEM HAS JUST POPPED UP - INSPIRED BY EVE ROPER AND JACK ELLISON
It hung so limply like Niagara
Doc told him to take some Viagra
Just one little blue pill
Gave his wife such a thrill
It sticks up so high it could stab ya
Copyright © 2015JAN ALLISON 18th July 2015
but lover her with all our hearts she is the sweeties of them all
Jack Ellison, teasing back and forth with his witty poems,
so who’s the greatest of them all,
OD'd On Viagra
Hickory, Dickory, Dock
Overdosed on Viagra, whatta shock
My wee fellow looked up
Said, “You ain't no pup!”
I cried, “This guy don't go by no clock”

But a jolly soul because his Santa Jack this year.
Then there’s our Mystic Rose that joins the group with her sense of humor;
A Little Viagra Goes A Long Way
Incline thy ear o-friend of mine
Me poor husband got it bad
He got a dicky that won't pine
Tis sad Tis sad Tis really sad
I heard yours takes Viagra pills
Malone's will not erect nor stay
and yesterday he got the shills
Just letting dicky out to play!
Would you be so kind to send
The medicine that made him sleep
I'll give my hon a pop to rend
His dicky joy, so he can weep
Few tears of joy alongside mine
Oh how my smile would shine
He got a dicky that won't pine
And that's a real bad sign...
