A poetry home for us to be.

Our different styles make us unique
perhaps it’s yours that we may seek.
Some write with rhyme and syllable
while other free style mixable.
No matter what, you’re welcome here
For months on end, year after year
We learn, we share make friendships too
Support each other yes, we do.
Put out our work, that is our quest
May even enter a contest.
Win, lose, or draw, don’t matter much
As long as we all keep in touch.
May gain some fans along the way
Who like our work and what we say.
So, if you’re ever in real doubt
Just send a message, we’ll help out.
Yes, folks I’m glad I found this site
Where I can be myself and write.
37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
Matthew 9:37-38
Golden Harvest
golden wheat
ready for
the harvest
help is scarce
many workers
are needed
the season
will end, much
will be lost
They want to kill us
take the gratitude that's life
With criminal injections
the A-bomb or a knife
Statistics are statistics,
that don't reveal the truth
The death from vaccination,the old, the very young
also include the youth
Emotional wounds exist
separating family ties
From the propaganda mass media,
spreading nasty lies
How do we heal the rift
which affects the way we're living
Include to share love
and always be forgiving
There's need to find protection
from the nasty corporate creed
Enslaved us to a system
that always runs on greed
Come together as community
pray to God to send out love
Many divine messages
descending from above
If ever plans went horribly wrong - it's now,
because we're killing each other, non-stop
anyhow;
perhaps we should make the plan as it began,
with amazingly no spiritual ruling if we can.
Trump could be Noah - must be having a laugh,
he might say that : 'We're having no bloody giraffe,
no lions or monkeys, none of those brown guys,
Mexicans or Canadians,' well - is that a surprise?
He could send out Elon to cut down some trees,
with that chainsaw and Kamala on her knees,
could be an instant healthcare plan you could afford,
give him any bull and he'd throw you overboard.
No more world cup or Greenland invasion -
perhaps he might be sensible with some persuasion.
She rolled up her piano and tucked it underneath her chinny chin chin
off the the courtyard she went to play a tune from Mama Balloon
"Absolutely not or never" said porky pig as she played shiny, to win
inside the water fountain a red cap bobbed and floated like a loon
Singing to the top of her voice every tonsil quivered as she did her gig
bass lined to the music she strolled the keys on a piano forte made of pulp
"Play it again " cried Petunia Pig while re-arranging her imaginary wig
but as the rain began to fall, Suzie stopped playing and began to gulp
Suffering Cilantro your piano has turned into nothing more than mush
said the little piglet with a tiny little bugle nose as bright as a red rose
"I got a rockjam keyboard made of foil at home" she began to gush
but all she heard was " Tsk tsk tsk" and suddenly the oink just froze
"Send out the clowns" huffed Piggly Wiggly Bob who lisped his nouns
and so Suzie with an origami thingy ma jig fined tuned a little trumpet
"Keep it coming" whooped Porky Pig and Daffy Duck painting the town
they danced to the beat of " Oh Susannah" without hurry without fret.
THE POWER OF KINDNESS

A kind word can slip in quietly,
like sunlight through a dusty window,
softly touching a corner of the heart
you thought no one noticed.
A smile shared in passing
a hand held for a moment,
"thanks for being exactly you"
these are the sparks
that can set a heavy day aglow.
Kindness isn’t loud or grand;
it doesn’t need applause.
It’s in the gentle pause;
the patient ear,
the courage to care
when no one is watching.
And sometimes
one word—just one…
can turn someone’s world
from gray to bright,
from lonely to known,
from weary to whole.
So speak gently.
Act kindly.
For each small ripple
can reach farther than
you’ll ever know,
and the love you send out
always comes back around.
It includes Sopka Veles speaks
the balalaika
Eumetopias Jubatus spoke this to the people.
from the Stone area of Mesozoic and Paleozoic.
Severo-Kurilsk in the Kuril Islands

The Songs to appease Perun has angered Veles
he unleased quake after quake to
quiet there worship
and after the strongest quake
he made the volcano erupt
and send out a tsunami to
dismantle the Temples
the people built
to worship Perun.
Dream love, of all our time, we spent walking in the sky above.
We played all day, walking through time, and looking at the past and future times.
We laughed and played all day, walking with you was my favorite kind of day.
Dreaming together is so much fun, it is a special kind of love.
Hearing you call me day and night, reminds me of our special love bond.
Thanking God, we are able to hear the call.
The call to love and be kind.
To send out to all the dreams we dream to the universes.
The dreams can become real in time.
Remember my dream love, all of our time, for love and time are endless when we dream together. Love you forever in time.
Lifting prayers for all of the dreamers to love and be kind.
Bloom into your light and let it blaze on forever.
Bring forth your best to the table, and give your best endeavor.
It's time to transcend your doubts, fears, and your shadow.
Release past beliefs and awaken that sleeping creative energy, and permit your consciousness to channel, flow, and follow.
Transform your life into something truly spectacular.
Ascend to that point was equal to the creators' vernacular.
Rise to the occasion when your skills are required.
Be the one whose words have the basis to motivate and inspire.
Always walk facing the sun as shadows will only follow.
Be the one whose words are filled with passion as Apollo.
As a delicate lotus, let your words be sweet as lilac.
For the vibrations you send out, they shall return, in greater proportions, they shall come back.?
I sit on your garbage can and fiddle with a knob
Your back door shakes a bit, I search for a corn cob
Smash goes the lid to your aluminum garbage can
I am the man, I think now, I am the man!
You are in your kitchen, terrified to see that knob
Slowly move back and forth; my cousin has the corn cob
Fighting ensues, we slap each other and screech
You call the cops. They send out Officer Leech.
I can do my rune rede uncorrupted.
The Ward nurses word can not be trusted.,
Nurse allows me to eat at the cafe,
I will be pissed off ,trusting them, led astray .
Will go outside on the stoep ;be alone.
Go on a strike, license lost, not in the zone,
I write some poetry, I feel genuine ,
Refuse my requests I take no medicine..
I feel relieved my mood is feels so high.
Reduce my food intake; you ready to die ?
I am covid free as far as I see ,
Send out the death note on the Net , I decree.
See my cousin tomorrow if things go well.
Send my death note out to my kin -a hard sell,
Write poems about nature in near future,
I might. be paranoid have a sense of humour..
Do my exercises brings no sorrow.
Sad if I am not seeing blood tomorrow,
Trying to keep a rigid upper lip ,
My ward is a locked door ;a hellish trip.. guy
Little Bo peep
Where are your sheep
You looked around to find them
They didn’t come home
Now you’re all alone
Stuck in a sad zone
Just waiting for them
To come home
Little Bo peep
You lost your sheep
And now trying to find them
Just send out a drone
To lead them back home
So, you won’t be all alone
If you change anything , what would it be
Would you quit your job just to set yourself free
Maybe you would become like the weather , which surely changes alot
Perhaps unload your bank account , almost anything can be bought
What about casting your vote for president to the other guy
Maybe send out more positive vibes , well worth a try
Decisions other people make causes changes to our lives nearly every single day
When was the last time you travelled without experiencing delays
Some changes are good while others turn out to be bad
Sometimes the outcomes will make you happy , while others will make you sad
Change just for the sake of change may not always be the best plan
One thing that we can count on to change is our mund ,we can all understand
Every day I spend with you means so much to me
The love you send out surrounds my heart, it's very plain to see
When I hold you in my arms your soothing touch awakens my senses
You have taken down all my defenses
Valentine's day may come but once a year
For me cuddling on the sofa and showing affection every night will never disappear
I have become a more complete person with you by my side
Our spirits have united together to become our special guide
When you walk into a room your smile hypnotizes me
All my positive thoughts are reacting to what I see
When you find that special someone don't let her go
Make Valentines your Groundhog Day, you will be able to watch how quickly your relationship will continue to grow
Laughter is the secret to a long and happy life
Try to laugh at yourself is my best advice
Watch a funny movie and watch the chuckles flow
Check out how many times you smile, as you see your children grow
When your friend tells you a joke, respond in a kind with a humorous expression
Laugh with your children at the clowns in the parade procession
Remember those family reunions with their happy times
The family portrait with those great smiles, a gentle reminder that I am entering my prime
Laughter is like a river that can wash away tears
Send it out to everyone, especially those you hold dear
It lowers stress levels, I am sure we would all agree
Let's all send out a big burst of laughter starting with me
