A nestbeschmutzer
Someone who craps where they eat
Who steps in feet first
“Say no” co-worker
To someone who asks you out
Condescendingly
Don't make a mess where
You make love, sleep and undress
You might have success
No nepotism
At the family reunion
Leave that one alone
Don’t act badly here
(Proverbial idiom)
Where you live, work, play
Don’t cause trouble here
A place you frequently go
Don’t crap where you eat
I HEARD THE RUMBLINGS OF LIFE TREMBLE THROUGH THE VALLEY, LOST IN THE VAST PLAINS OF THE DESERT, I SEARCH FOR HOPE AND COMFORT, BUT THEY ARE SCARCE AS WATER.
AS THE CLOUDS COVER THE SUN, THE STRONG WINDS CREATE A WAILING MELODY, USHERING IN THE STORM WITH BLACK CLOUDS AND COLD RAIN.
THE POWERFUL STORM ROLLS IN WITH ITS THUNDER WHILE THE LIGHTNING SLICES THROUGH THE BLEAK DARKNESS, ILLUMINATING THE BEAUTY OF NATURE.
THE STORM PEAKS WITH ITS UNBARRIABLE FORCE, KEEPING ME CAPTIVE IN A WHIRLWIND OF EMOTIONS, AND MY SENSES INTENSIFY TO THE TENTH POWER.
WILL THIS STORM DEFINE ME, OR WILL I EMERGE TRIUMPHANT?
Arabs are big example of break bread people generosity.
We knew who are the men of stinginess, meanness, baseness, and racism.

proverbial poem
OF GLORY, GRACE , AND COURAGE
Indeed, divine wisdom, and its guidance
Dwells in prayerful contemplating asking,
And is always there waiting to be asked
To navigate you towards that ever present help
When souls become deflated with great grief:-
Remember and be of good courage;
He who has given you a sound mind,
Will ...strengthen your heart…for…
In His favor is…[always joyous]...life…
For we who are chosen for his labors:-
Thus, in awareness, let us be in good courage,
Knowing He will renew our strength, and will
Enable us to rise up as if on the wings of eagles
Soaring in victory formation with divine wisdom
And guidance navigating us overcoming tribulations:-
Let us ask, knowing wisdom and guidance will be given;
Let us seek, knowing the winning way will be given;
Let us knock, knowing peace and love’s door will open,
Greeting and welcoming us with divine hope and faith:
Anointing us with baby breasting essence of His grace:-
“But the path of the just is as the shining light,
that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.”
Proverbs 4:18
King Solomon shared with the Jews over time;
much he had learned from his own dad, King David.
The path of the just is no quick, speedy climb
for the light it brings forth is way off the grid.
Solomon had wisely asked God for wisdom;
He wrote proverbs galore, one of God's sages -
sharing divine wisdom with those who'd become
carriers of that light down through the ages.
Believers today find the path of the just
in Jesus who's the Truth, the Life and the Way.
Steadily we grow as we learn about trust.
God's Spirit shines through us till that perfect day
That perfect day when our spirit is transferred
to the presence of Jesus and Father God
Meanwhile, we must keep on studying His Word
sharing more and more light as His path we plod.
In The Weathering Of War
In today’s
storming war
weathering
world peace
is rotting out
and we need
to sow new seeds
of her
germinating
new fruits:
the weary world
Is starving
for new peace
and we need
to get to
plowing new fields
of nourishing peace
and healing grace
in this world
that’s in dire need
of rehabilitation
of war’s
debilitating demise:-
(p.s./n.b.)
In proverbial ways
scripture reminds us
in divine wisdom
and guidance
to never doubt
the power
of sowing
seeds:
thus
in labors
of love
let us
strive to be
sowers
and reapers
of divine
world peace:-
You sighed...
... but none heard.
You were angry,
Met only with stares from innocent minds.
... Then you cried
In the mystique of the night,
Muffled sobs escaping to the horizon.
You longed for the company of a muscled arm,
More than sympathy from tale bearers.
You wished for a warm bed on winter’s morn—
... but there was none.
Like the runaway proverbial son,
He abandoned you for another,
Leaving in his wake four likenesses of himself.
People
By
J. A. Long
People are people regardless of
Ethnicity and history
Even in feeble steeples
During the Christmas season
Which is the coldest time In America
People are proverbial birds
In need of proverbial seeds
But are not interested in searching
For those seeds which are at proverbial bird feeders
People are all somewhat different
Some are friendlier than others
And some are more accepting than others
Even at Christmas time-be open to them
Friendship
‘tis so truly special
How very lucky am I
To have found
a dear friend
Who is there
when I need her
If life becomes
such
need
proverbial crutch
For be sure
she will always
answer her door
Where she can be found
With a kiss
and a hug
Thus my worries end
Thanks to my best friend
But at times
I need just a little bit more
With her positive vibes
she dries tears from my eyes
As we sip on a cuppa
or a glass of white wine
So happy together
~~~
Best friends forever

A BRIAN STRAND PREMIERE no 1222
I heard them say~love is blind, that was not very kind. Maybe our love will be intertwined, or maybe just blowing in the cool wind. Will this blind love unwind, should we ask mankind. You were a pretty good find, at least in my crazy mind.
Date Written: 2/8/2023
What happens when rotten strange fruit…
Hanging from trees of auction block wood
Become stinking pieces of black flesh…
Dried blood putrefying in murderous streets…?
When crystallized tears of remorse…Laden and
Loaded with explosive grief…Flow down weary
Faces wrinkled by time’s trials, tribulations and
Treacherousness and neglect of freedom, justice
And equality, all become like inconsequential
Sunned raisins and festering sores…?
When visions of deferred dreams become blurred
Realities,
Fogged by the steam of volcanic anger…Pray tell…
What happens?
Pray tell…what happens? And then what?—Please,
Pray tell?!
Have a great birthday, Eireen Joy,
There is a proverbial statement;
It is easier to destroy
Than to build a huge monument.
Topic: Birthday of Eireen Joy G. Amo (March 29)
Raging waters know only turbulence; the calm smooth sea revels in tranquility.

Based on Proverb 29: 11 A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back. (English Standard Version)
Proverbs 1:5
5. A wise man will hear and increase learning,
And a man of understanding will(b) attain
wise counsel,
* To be wise, you will listen much, eager to learn;
and seek wise advice.
