In Devizes, during Carnival, we have a Confetti Battle...
We dance in town, as bright confetti falls
Upon our hallowed ground, we move as one
The old and young among the market stalls
All blessed by Ceres and the setting sun
We move as one, we laugh, we catch the light
In coloured flickers deep within our eyes
A cloud of happiness, a merry flight
Of beautiful beribboned butterflies
We dance in town, bedecked like bridesmaids gay
Our hair all strewn with prettiness and joy
Our cares for one brief moment blown away
We move as one, man, woman, girl and boy
As, blessed by Ceres in her wedding gown
We all, as one, are married to our town

About Me Noelle
Always try to love people and stay positive.
Begin each day with prayer.
One man woman.. when I find him.
Up instead of down most of the time.
Time is precious... I try to make the most of it.
Music is very important ...Tre Songs__Gentleman's Club.
Everyone is important and worth hearing out.
Now is the time to live your life and so I am.
Outside is where I can really feel alive.
Ebony nights with a full moon and my lover would be wonderful.
Love with the right man is what I'm longing to find.
Little is a lot when you have God in your life.
Everything from beginning to end is about staying positive.
What to say to a woman.
To a woman with doubt in her mind,
fear in her heart,
knots in her soul.
To a woman with lust in her eyes,
hunger in her gut
and desire in her body.
To a woman who wanders in the dark,
rejects the love of friends,
accepts the hands of a stranger.
To a woman who misses her companions,
her family;
and longs for arms at night.
To a woman who cries out for attention
and finds it only in the eyes
of a man hiding behind a mask.
They try to teach us so many things;
how to live, how to kill,
how to die,
how to win and to lose;
cook, fish, drive, read, write;
how to be honorable
and how to survive pain.
But not a one has told,
or even truly knows,
the key to giving comfort,
to listening;
to find solutions,
or to be the romantic
or the friend
as needed.
Not one, man, woman or beast
has ever told a man;
what to say to a woman.
No peace for me,
Let the world end,
Let the pain of others remain,
Let the men of wars dies,
Let the children of the world cries,
Where famine and broken families
lies,
No peace ,for you ,and you and me!
We never listen,
We never learn,
We always question,
All words ,no deeds or actions!
What can one man,woman,
Or child make a difference...!
Lots of courage
And alot more
Stubbornness,
Is what you really need.
Not from one or ten to twenty,
But a score of hundred voices to
plea...
Come join forces If you want global
peace!
Not for me, peace,
Frankly dear i don't give a damm,
I would much rather sleep...
Judy Konos
Frankly my Dear I don't give a damn

WHEN A SKEPTIC LEARNED TO FLY
She was a gem of rarity
and a vision of clarity
clear was the woman's countenance
as she jumped from daliance daliance
the hearts she broke were broken in tiny pieces
she isn't a one man woman and one a man only leases
“i love you more than my heart, were it to speak, could never quantify
she was an angel who could convince any skeptic that they she could make them fly
then she finally chose one man to walk her unto eternity
and I was amazed at her role of maternity and perternity
her spirit flew too high as to sever the string that grounded her
and no one could ever predict what would occur
she waited on him hand and foot from night to day
and always obeyed anything the man had to say
if he said a duck was a flea
she'd believe it and man, I wish that man had been me
