Every year, at the scheduled arrival of March,
Mother Nature became seasonally enraged,
Like a lion, an unjustly imprisoned beast in a cage,
Like a cancer patient walking on the last stage
For the last time - the last baby is now aged;
Two seasons are about to rush, crush and crash.
Every thing started with the hauling and yelling winds
Slapping their huge feathers on all windows,
Mother Nature’s heavily breathing on different rows
Of the trees that refused to be scattered all over like the sands
Of the battered beaches, like the small adoring plants,
Which the deceased grandmothers left on the slants.
Every year, it is the same old thing, the same old rituals,
Yet the school children just love it, since all classes are canceled;
The teachers are understandably elated, because they were told
To stay home as well; the aborted duels
Are bound to take place another time, another day,
Where everyone will fall under a lighter tray, a better array.
The last winter storm was really a prelude to a cool spring,
Just like Valentine’s Day was the prelude to Mother’s day;
At dawn, don’t be surprised to hear the cries of a new offspring,
And hundred of little ones performing at the last school play.

You never would
Have forgotten to
Attend a meeting
I scheduled for you --
Even when it would
Amount to nothing
You were there
Present and trusting
My judgement
Even when I didn't
Deserve it --
Even after I'd
Hurt you.
Today I missed
You more than
I usually do
(Which I do
All the time).
And I think about
How easy it was
To be in your company.
And how fascinating
Every word that you
Uttered seemed to me.
And how fast your
Mind worked.
And how hard you
Tried to be helpful.
To help me.
And I know that
Tonight
Like every single
Other night
Since I failed to
Tell you all of these
Secrets
I'll weep a little
Wishing
You'd find this
Poem...
Then call.
There was four of us hooked up to I V's in the preparation room. Sebatian was a young boy in his early teens; What are you in for I asked. I got hit by a car while riding my bike
they are going to amputate my legs at the knees. My heart cried. Fred said: I'm here for a triple bypass. Betty was in for the removal of a lump in her breast. I pray it is benign she said. What are you in for Harry? I'm getting a new stomach.
How come you guys are getting one drip every 30 seconds and I'm getting two? I asked. What time are you scheduled for surgery, Fred asked. 1:00 o'clock! Your the first to go, I'm scheduled for 1:30 and Sabatian and Betty go at 2:00. Really, I said they told me it would be a 3 or 4 hour operation. Fred laughed; they have more than one o r's in the hospital.
At 12:45 the nurse came in.Talking had ceased between the patients. Mr. Johnson Aren't you sleepy? NO! I'll be back in a couple of minutes she said. Ut oh said Fred. What
does that mean. Your going to leave as soon as the nurse comes back. When the nurse came back she took the I V out and with the biggest syringe known to man she poked me. Now Mr. Johnson could you count backwards from 100. Sure I said; 100, 99,(the lights seem to get brighter) 98,(the hum of the lights became whispers) 97,(everything went to slow motion) 96,(my voice became low and slow) 95,(Lenore held my hand) ninety-fou---
Remember when that flash of insight
last self-ignited in your expectant thoughts
blasting away the fog of uncertainty, complexity and doubt.
A sudden aha Eureka answer, pure, simple, so succinct, beautiful.
To some this flash of aha is called duration, or a blink. insight, acumen, Eureka!
But, my friend, how, why, when, where, do these Aha moments arise?
Can we conger up more for ourselves, fill a treasure cheat with insights?
Or is this quest a waste of time, as no treasure map exits. But does it?
Can we ever know with what, and how, and when to cast the magic wand?
Does our search for meaning, inquiries lay the foundation?
Can we prepare the way ahead in some way or other?
Think back, my friend, did these gems
always spring up unexpectedly, and what occurred beforehand?
These aha Euekas cannot be scheduled or delayed,
cannot be snuck-up on, snared nor detected,
cannot be forced out nor guaranteed to appear.
Euekas are not rewards for hard work, perhaps the opposite is true.
How often does lazy and shallow wader get the creative rewards.
Chance is never fair in its rewards for hard work.
Often, an Aha taps us on the shoulder, we are least expecting it,
out of the blue, saying: "Look at Me. Look at Me".
When gobbled up with glee, it washes over and transforms us.
We are never be the same. It makes our day.
Does begging the question, ignoring the answers laid out
make it pop up from the soup into an inquiring mind?
Or does it appear when we raise questions to that have already been answered well?
Does it appear when we thin-slice the book to separate the leaves?
Often mistakes and errors have led to great breakthroughs
like penicillin, radioactivity, the color mauve and plastics.
What does this mean to you and your Aha Eureka pot of gold?
Should we be less careful, more observant for the unusual?
The Aha Eureka is a fleeting feeling, easily lost in the blink of an eye,
rampant, capricious, imperceptible, unbounded, elusive
like seeing something in the corner of the eye at dusk,
if you look straight at it, it's gone, look back again, it's there again.
For me it can be a matter of serendipity.
The more I see, the more I do, the more I explore, the more hits are triggered.
Many total restarts from scratch, often helps.
But, for me the one simple things
that works is lay me down to rest,
and to sleep on it!
Henry blew off swimming
But was scheduled to go.
Daddy wasn't happy
So of course he let him know.
We're here to spend the weekend
While his mommy is away,
So ultimately only Daddy
Has the final say.
If he stuck to his decision,
Henry had to make a choice -
Give up something, maybe Nana -
Hearing this, he found his voice.
"No, I will not give up Nana!"
Daddy, hearing that, agreed,
So his tablet and some special books
Were items he did cede.
Still, he stuck to what he wanted
And avoided swimming chills
Though he may regret it later
At the time his tablet fills.
But to me, it was amazing
That I played a little part
In the bargain, for my grandson
Proved I'm tucked inside his heart.
Joyous holidays, wondrous indeed
Family reunions of loving bliss
Meeting together gladly as agreed
Every member promised never to miss~~~
Now, each heart reaches for dear Brod and Sis.
Though our scheduled fellowship is virtual
Warmth of Christian spirit does brightly glow
Caring hugs felt with God’s grace so actual
While blessings to share continually flow~~~
Making us thankful* midst pandemic blow.
1Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Sponsored by Brian Strand; judged on 1/24/2022.
Every story to get composed
is supposed to be
inside an irregular triangle.
To start with story of 'Life',
largest side is Family, so far my belief,
showing love and responsibilities.
Next come career and struggle.
Shortest side consists achievements and failures.
Story of 'Family' consists of three sides
showing 'Marital Commitment ', ' Raising Children ',
' Fulfilling Domestic and Social Duties.'
Largest side fixed to rear up offsprings.
Which side between the rest two will get priority,
depends on personal choice.
Useless to raise voice.
' Career - Story ' is basically focused on
' Ambition ', Work' and ' Circumstances '.
Challenges appear in every step
to be tackled by individual, when to escape
where to confront , when to hide,
balancing the lengths of three sides.
A 'Love Story holds emotions on largest side.
Passion is pasted on next side.
Satisfaction or Despondency
completes the triangle.
‘ Soul Story ‘ recycles on sides of a triangle,
three vertices being‘ Birth Point’, ‘ Death Point ‘
and Terminal Point of ‘After Life’.
Life starts from Birth Point to reach Death Point.
Traversing path of After Life
returns to Birth Point.
The lengths of the sides vary
in different journey, when to hurry
where to make pause or go slow
to be decided
on discretion of individual Soul
free to move in Cosmos
on unknown zone
subject to laws of Nature.
Always three sides to every story..
How sad some forget,
Yet bound to accept
scheduled trajectory
in triangular territory.
The Conclusion
I heard a fan say that one guy had actually been crowned champion: I didn't bother to explain to him the bout was contested and the guy only would be said to be champion even though he really lose, but his contested mark was higher than his opponents. He pinned the guy 2 minutes into the bout, and the promoter couldn't have ah one hour scheduled bout be do up like that. He contested and won. but in the final moments of the bout a three count with the guys foot on the ropes went over looked due to the ref refusing to go over what he had already seen and said. The significant overlap, often considered a specific highly physical subset of games. He contested 22 times and the other guy did the same but 6 times. He held the ropes while scored a feeble pinfall attempt. The rubber match is the actual Championship bout..Conceptualized to be performed by two Championship Wrestlers. With Proactive attitudes.
Dispute the operation of an original function, with the significant overlap is often considered a specific highly subset of a bout. Verse in function were the end means that the reciprocal is in operation of an original function, in satisfaction of the goals set by the company.
Dazed and confused and buzzing hard
The aging duo now sorts their cards
They take a rest and search for air
Joe jumps on Nancy and sniffs her hair
A new concoction to fan the flame
Warm Pabst Blue Ribbon will bring Trump fame
He bongs a six pack and swings his sword
I don’t think Nancy can take much more
She digs down deep with a Schlitz big mouth
It’s tangy, refreshing and very stout
Her secret weapon does not faze Trump
He dons a mask and blows some chunks
Here comes one more, to this battle round deuce
It’s Snoop Doggy Dog with his gin and juice.
He just smoked a bowl and ate some beans and cheese
This one’s over folks, with just one sneeze
Scheduled for five but fell a bit short
Snoop Dog cuts cheese with full report.
