Tag Renewal

What is this world coming to
Today I went to get my tag renewal
And this year we have to get a new plate
They felt the need to remove the picture
Of the mountains in the background
And give us a solid blue one with white letters
So I get to the counter 
And the lady comes up to ask if I need help
Why yes my friend I need a new plate
I could sence her not wanting to offend me
When she asked do you want In God We Trust on it
I am thinking why would you ask me such a thing
My friend is there another option
I would really like the one that reads
In This Wicked Generation Ye All Trust
It's coming my friends

I remember playing Tag and you were "it".

Eyes that Swallowed Every Smile
Thrown at me Through all the While.

Running, Dancing, Feet above the Ground;
Heaven's Space, filled with Laughters' Sound.

Spilling every Place Between Us,
Filling Up Our Day.

Never Giving Thought to all
The Memories That We Caught.

Or How Our Day Might Play,
Just Being Children, In Our Lovely Way. 

Cached Ourselves in Nets of Laughter
Pulled the Strings, 
That Made Our Puppets Dance;

Followed Each Our Every Moment After,
Ne'er A Thought to Fate or Chance.

I Remember Playing Tag and I was "it".
Surrounding You in Rosie's Ring.

It Was as Though My Keds Took Wing;
Flew Straight to You Each Time,

With Unknown Meaning
In Our Secret Rhyme.

"Tag", "You're it!"
And You and You.

And All Too Soon, We Grew.

And Soon, Too Soon 
We Went Aways

Played Our Games With Other Kids, 
But Now, In Grown-up Ways.

But I Remember Just a Bit

Of You, 

And,  " Tag! You're It "

Premium Member New Year Tag - Spenserian Sonnet

T’is the season of jolly and such fun
Ending a year and starting out brand new
Others will be looking to the long run
Uplifting many with words from a few
Celebrating the new binding like glue
Moving together with tag poetry
Pot on the stove with Epulaeryu brew
This stew is filled with great artistry
T’is is just like cosmetic dentistry
Brings a smile to celebrating faces
The time is now for a royal entry
Like playing cards with faces of aces
Hello Lynn Marie go put on your clogs
Look out the window you have just been tagged!



Comment:  I was tagged by Katherine Stella.  Hello Lynn, this is especially for 
you.  Happy New Year!  Now you will have to find someone whose poetry you 
enjoy to tag.  NOTE: The Spenserian sonnet rhymes as follows: 
ABABBCBCCDCDEE.  The second four lines are linked by rhymes to the first four 
and the follow four, and a couplet concludes the poem by reemphasizing the 
main idea or proposing an alternative view.  Isn’t this fun!!!

Premium Member More Tag

I've never played tag before, I say
But being tagged has made my day
If I wrote my thoughts, my arm would droop
Trying to tag all the great poets on Poetry Soup
Now I hold Tamiviolet and Carol Brown dear
Karen O'Leary and Marycile Beer
Tammy and Jill both make me smile
And JeanMarie has her very own style
Reading Bill Robinson is time well spent
And Charles Fuller is so eloquent
Don't forget Deb Simpson and William Ward
Linda Smith strikes another chord
There's Kim Mulroney and William Jones
Even more great writing. It's Daria Stone's
If I wrote about all the great one's on this sight
I would still be writing on New Year's night.

   You are tagged.

Premium Member Joseph's Merry Christmas Poetic Tag

It’s now dawn and the sky is ocean blue
Bringing to mind a poet who is so true
Writing with pen and ink in every round 
With a Christmas name as Carol Brown

Around the corner moving in a rush
Teaching away with her poetic thrust
There in the flakes was Tamiviolet
Words flowing like a story booklet

On a platform was Vince Suzadail
Being hailed by many for setting a trail
Out came the sun with Jean Marchese
Painting picture so cool and breezy

Feet getting weary there was Karen O’Leary
So cheery while reciting a poetic theory
Wearing fancy socks was James Baylock
Standing on a rock just teaching his flock

Heading home for warmth of the fireplace
Thinking of the next journey I will face 
Do I hear jingles and slay bells in the air?
Oh my, it’s my friend Santa we are a pair! 

Merry Christmas!




Comments:  I was tagged by Kathy, and as a result I have to pass the tag along.
I have randomly tagged the first six poets in my head.  I really enjoy reading their 
poetry.  Now, they can tag other poets they enjoy reading. Have a great day!


Premium Member A Ghost Story (For the Ghost Story Poem Tag Game)

In a old old rambling structure
Down on the street called Broadway
Upper floors that had been deserted
For many and many a day

Lighting a fire 
Starting to pondering
Things from long ago
Remembering songs and legends

Stories that I had been told
The fire light began to flicker
Then undressing for the night
By only a little candle light

Once in bed down under the covers
Slowly going to sleep
Off to dreamland I remembered
Then something pulled at the sheet

Starting to hear chains rattling
Whining through the loosened glass
Then deciding it was nothing
Pull the covers up past my calf

No more than I had pulled them
When something or someone 
Snatched them away
That's when  I grabbed them

With my heart beating away
Up over my head and snuggled
Hoping that they would stay
But that was not possible

So up I sat in bed
Looking around was when I saw It
Footprints as big as an elephant head
I decided to start talking

Facing my fear straight on
Is when I discovered
Cardiff Giant ghost in my room
I told him to sit down

But then on second thought
Was going to say don't 
When he sat, the chair
Fell ascunder and broken 

Parts were over the floor
Pieces of tail bone and broken chair
Even a rib and wrist bone was there
Then sat on the bed and in a heap 

We're on the floor
Finally I told him 
No more, no more
Just sit on the floor

I gave him my red blanket
He used my chamber as a hat
Then we talk about his 
Situation what do you think of that

I finally told him
That he really wasn't a wondering ghost
He was just plaster of paris
An imitation to trick folks

That he was really buried
In Albany and was haunting
A cheap plaster form of himself
So off he went in the darkness

Saying don't let this story get out
That I don't even know my own remains 
As he laid the pipe on the mantel
Down the street he lumber along

(Idea taken from "A Ghost Story" by Mark Twain. Please forgive me Mark Twain because I 
did not do this story justice and definitely not the poem.)  (As they say there is a big 
difference in having something to say and having to say something.) It did stretch my 
thinking and creativeness.

A Tag of Pain

Pain squizzes life out of my paralyzed mind and it feels like a grain of sugar under attack from ants.
Induring comes with an ocean of tears
Never ending and excruciating 
Sending my body into manifestational shivers

Needing an escape with immediate effect
Every nerve is hyperbolically numbing 
Enough to shut doors when the world outside peeps into my life
Darts of mental disorders are hurled at me , my mind is infested with anxious ants nibbling on my confidence 

Looking for rest I drown my fears and anxieties  in a slumber.
Echoes of numbing pain pin me down as I crawl to the exit door
Shaky knees won't hold me for long lest my life I lose without the anchors of heaven. 

So I pray and become the prey
Failing to comprehend my period of testing marathons from my predator
I fail to testify for the man at Calvary playing scavenge hunting for my sake
Not wanting to form scars to avenge
Every single day I seek him, he lifts my fallen face and reminds me of his might
And when my enemies attack he is my shield in this tag of war .
So I know when my iniquities hide his face I'll tag him to my place of refuge

Premium Member Just An American

I am a proud American,
Nothing more, nothing less,
No tags to wear,
No labels to confess.
I am not blind to history,
Nor unaware of our mistakes.
Like nations older than our own,
We've known the risks that failure makes.
Yet through the trials of our past,
We learned, endured, and found a way.
To rise above our broken roads
And build a stronger path each day.
History is not a chain to drag,
Nor a script we must obey.
It is a compass in our hands,
To guide us forward on our way.
I know what this country means to me,
A truth no one can redefine.
Not by titles, not by degrees,
Nor by a different view than mine.
So let me stand where I believe,
Without demands that I conform.
Leave me be, and walk in peace,
No anger, only calm and warmth.
For I am a proud American,
Nothing more, nothing less;
A citizen of hope and freedom,
Without a need for anything else.
I’m just an American, and proud to be!

Taking photographs is really great
