Premium MemberThe Tan Suit

Wow, the simple pleasures of life!
Remember when just a tan suit was the highlight and topic of discussion on all the news channels?

Yes, a tan suit had the volume turned all the way up and had them in a complete uproar, not no scandals, no corruption, no Epstein files, no bribery, no delusional post and memes, no need for greed, no late night rants and raves, no self obsessions… just a lil ole plain tan suit.

Well, things have truly changed since then, because look at where we are now, smh.
But, as you can see, this what happens when you turn leadership into leader ssh.
Wow!!! What a difference in a day, a person, a country and a mindset.


Premium MemberYou And Me

This poem is not about romance, but about
Learning to relate to everyone with love.
It's about loving all people, no matter what.


Whether or not you see me,
I see you.
Whether or not you hear me,
I hear you.
Whether or not you understand me,
I understand you.

Whether or not you change your
Attitude, or refuse to apologize,
I chose to always forgive you.

Whether or not you feel me,
I feel you.
Whether or not the gentle winds
Of life guide a fragrance of me 
Toward you, I sense the sweet
Aromas of you.

Whether or not your thoughts of me
Are of the purest stock and kind,
I think only of the best in you.

Whether or not there be a place
For me at your heart's table,
My heart always make room for you.

Premium MemberLove is key needed today to heal hurts

Love is the key
To being me
To being you 
To being us

World needs more love
Do you agree ?
Show it to all
Love is the key

People hurt so much
A touch of love
They sure do need it
To change their life

I did it today to a guy
In church
All I said was your so cool
It made him feel good

Premium MemberWhen the Toilet Paper Roll Is Almost Empty...

imitate my poor husband— 
just pinch the tube.
knead and press and stretch.
luck yields to demand.
matter offloading.
noisome
opulence 
plenishes in a blink!
quiet panic builds.
rationalize
squares.
this isn't toothpaste.
utilize shallow breaths.


Premium MemberHonesty

HONESTY



Double dealing yet convincing individuals
Are all over like clouds in the sky even though abominations-
They could be on every corner of every street ignoring the heat
Under their feet as they wait for a new victim or recruit

But you must never be one of them despite their many methods
Of persistently swaying-they will eventually abandon you when it
Benefits them even if you rip a hem-you deserve a better life than
Than that of a Judas Goat`

Never steal nor lie about either yourself or others
It is neither honest nor right to do either even if you can be
convincing and want to ruffle some feathers-leave it to those who
Who enjoy causing trouble and instead huddle with the honest
citizens- your honesty will grow stronger!

Premium MemberThe Beautiful Impossible Motion ...... POTD ......

The beautiful impossible motion, can we see, feel, touch motion? No, we see, feel, touch the results of motion. Motion stands still, until we use it. We humans have no motion until we move, walking, running, or maybe dancing. Even weather has no motion, until it speaks. The winds blow with motion, we then see the leaves move. Everything starts out with no motion, moving gives motion to the movement. We can not see, feel or touch motion, yet we can see, feel, touch motion in action. What a wonderful impossible thing motion has been.

Premium MemberUnconditional Love


Are you always there for your friends
Can they depend on you
Or don't you care about others
When trouble and strife happens
Do you walk away, or stay
Life can get tough, we need each other
We need that hug
Be that kind of friend, who really cares
Unconditional love is the answer
World is crazy, gripped by fear
Friends need friends to stay near
We all need love, so share a smile today

Premium Memberpeople and tides

people come and go in our lives
like rolling tides,
a natural cycle of life
some bring energy-
a roaring ocean of waves
some fade out
as fast as they rolled in
people change/ tides change
neither one stands still
we cannot control the outcome
some people steal our spotlight
some give us inspiration
as the tide rolls in 
it steals back it's sand granules,
but always leaves us
with a new gift
the natural cycle of life

Premium MemberFriendship

Friendship

Friend is a word of Royal tone
Friend is a poem all alone
Friend is a word that must never
Be taken for granted and a tree to
Never be cut down

Friend is a phrase that should never be ignored
A term that should be respected and neve
Really questioned even due to a lack of
Understanding

Friends and family are something everyone
Should have- friends and family is something
Even fish have even though they may know it not

Premium MemberTO ME AND MY PEOPLE JOURNEYING ONWARD

TO ME AND MY PEOPLE JOURNEYING ONWARD

Journey in belief,
Knowing God’s navigation,
Ensures the journey:-

Doubt not God’s footprints;
Just keep on walking in them:
Destiny waiting:-

Look how far we’ve come;
Look how far back we started:
Still journeying on:-

Destination reached,
And it's time for some to rest,
Give God The Glory:-

Some journeys soon end;
God has been given the praise:
Rest time on the way:-

We hope love’s labors,
Have us there to greet you all:
We all…praising God:-

Premium MemberOn the Marta, on the Marta

On the Marta, on the Marta
My son met yo daughter 
He was scrolling on his phone, then he looked up and caught her
Smiling at him, they started talking on the Marta
She said she was hungry
Should he take her out to eat?
Yeah, I think he oughta
So they got off the Marta

She wanted grits, eggs and bacon
So that’s what he bought her
Put cheese on yo grits was what he taught her
It didn’t cost much, only an extra quarter 
And as for a drink, well, she only wanted water

After their meal, they got back on the Marta
As far as them dating, it didn’t go any farther
But that’s how they spent their day on the Marta, lol

Premium MemberPatterns, Patterns Everywhere!

Contest: Pattern(s)
Sponsor: Sara Kendrick
Date: 14th July 2026

Patterns are a marvelous thing!
We see them everywhere we look.
On mammals, on insects, on water,
Inside poetry and story books...

We see patterns in the clouds,
Patterns of behaviour,
A history that repeats itself,
A victim in need of a saviour...

We see patterns in the iris of eyes,
Patterns in life and routine,
Patterns in the clothes we wear
And patterns to how we clean...

Life is full of patterns ~
A wonder to behold.
Patterns fascinate us human beings
From the young to the old.
