Winnie works and studies hard
She makes her own magic...

woof! woof!
hackles and heckles
a cock on a roof

Heartfelt ideas
Idealistically sound
Gain momentum fast
Discouraged by Naysayers
Sh! Hide until Fruition...

Though contests may pique you,
Judges critique you.
Challenges push you;
Naysayers shush you.
Rhythms confine you;
Poems define you.

Set free your Creative Muse to soar swiftly Heavenward

  Naysayers will challenge you, thinking you lack Imagination

   --Leave them slack-jawed, gaping, your Angelic Wings smiling High...

Attempt the seemingly impossible with unbridled zeal
Don't fall prey to self-fulfilling prophecy, and laugh in the face of
Your naysayers. Refuse to allow them to define you

Above battered caskets, demons engulfed. For grievances haven’t interlocked juveniles. Karma locking many naysayers, occupying persistence. Quietly remembering silence throughout universal vectors without xany youngish zorroants....

In the March 
of the bitter wind,
even the glitter of 
the lake at its silver 
hour denies its power 
in sorrow perpetua 
for severed limbs
caught in the yaw 
of the merciless saw
of spring naysayers
in need of prayers
for this crucifixion....

Kindness toward self is paramount.
Light luxurious lounging loves my goodness
Moves me toward my personal truth and bliss
Naysayers do not understand, but this is okay.
Ordinary feelings are dead, emotions enhanced.
Passion hides inside my soul waiting to be discovered....

Gentlemen always say ‘Ladies first.’
Women always seem to adore it;
Masculine ways charm naysayers,
feminine tears a man does not permit;

Flower bouquet given for no reason, 
power to bring a smile and calm mind;
Shower of laughter and a bear hug,
our love is the old fashioned kind....

In the evening my garden grows so well
I sleep gentle for there is no plight.
For eve is where brownies and faeries dwell.
Administer magic all through the night.
Naysayers may think that I’m not so bright, 
My harvest is greater than all of theirs 
Also I share gladly without their airs....

You are
                               A conqueror 
                 You proved naysayers wrong
                But do not rest on your laurels, 
                       Continue the good work, 
                           Fight the good fight, 
                                 You soldier

The naysayers said Manning was too old,

     And under Brady's pressure he would fold.

          But Peyton proved 'em wrong,

               And came through very strong!

                    Manning out-gunned Brady and caught him cold!

Smack the Naysayer upside the head
far fewer would have been harmed
had citizens not been disarmed -- 

Forefathers wise for Second Amendment
which Naysayers habitually make defendant

a necessary tool 
to keep safe even the fool
preventing complete social upheaval
while man, his soul, remains harbinger
of evil!...

my enewed refreshed resolve sparkles
like copper, aluminum, silver, gold, sequins
nourished by necromancy, I blaze toward victory
disregarding the naysayers, Shale and Granite
They lost their sparkle a long time ago, in the dark ages
I soar toward the path of freedom, loving my pure glitziness.
More alive than I have ever been........

She is new to our community
A woman who wears a scorpion necklace
Who would wear that? Some naysayers wonder aloud.
I have a cousin, an aunt and know two drag queens who would.
I keep my mouth shut as the conversation commences.
Wondering if I should tell them about my favorite book.
“You cannot afford the luxury of a negative thought.”...

Living good in a certain way
Never show your real cards
So the naysayers can never say

Living a little less now than earlier before
People start to notice a change of pace
Eating crumbs off a delinquent floor

Living bad now and off the taxpayer's dime
Bills formed a mountain of domestic debt
Materials own your freedom and kidnapped your time...

Nope you’re the blind fool,
eyes closed to everything here;
Authenticity; 
Quirky and always honest 
always lighting up a room;

So absentminded, 
one time was one too many; 
Boiling; festering;  
It swallowed you like arsenic, 
poisoning you so slowly; 

You put blinders on 
to all of that potential 
right in front of you;
Why entertain naysayers?
Ignore the fool in your head....

Through the storms and the pain
When naysayers curse his name
When you think that you're down and out
Talk to him and he'll work it out 

Cause hes a counselor a healer
Whenever you needa...
Conqueror to lift you up
Just call his name

There's an overwhelming joy just in his name
Praise and be faithful he'll end all pain
Fall on your knees there's a guarantee 
Believe me...believe me!!!!...

A sexy spider? It cannot be done they said.
While Kirk Reinert did it.
Without their approval.
Without their suggestions.
Without worrying about their naysaying at all.

A spider named Ida?
Ida the spide-ah?
Oh, that does fall off the tongue neatly.
Her legs make her seem completely….
marvelous, wonderful, well done.

The creator sits back and smiles.
Glad he does not listen to naysayers....

you can feel his smile before you actually see
The grin on his face where others frown might be
He is the happiest most confident mushroom faerie
Whose name is Klondike McVey McVery

If you do not believe in faeries, you will not see him of course.
He is invisible to bigots, naysayers, and people who force.
But if your heart is open, and your kindness is easy to see
Klondike McVey McVery will come sit on your knee....

We’ll tell the naysayers to go take a hike -
we're kids at heart and having so much fun!
I’m sitting on the handlebars in the blazing sun
whilst hubby's freewheeling our old pedal bike.
So what if we're pensioners with graying hair
we're both on the cycle, we don't have a care -
we'll tell the naysayers to go take a hike!

Within and without you
  Over, under, all about you
There's an aura of grace
  Of fragrance and lace

A Southern belle in your day
  Time takes not charm away
The hearts you've captured
  Yet swell with rapture

Your gait's a step slower
  You don't swivel your hips
Yet a coquettish smile
  Still plays 'bout your lips

Heed not the naysayers
  Who hold today's passed you by
The mere sound of your name
  ~ Manifest awe in my eye...

Peculiar peace, how rare you are 
Peculiar peace, we need you now
Hatred has invaded our lost world
Joy brings forth love like a shining star
Embrace the love and spread unity
Show naysayers love near and afar
Even when distant mindsets collide
Hatred lurks, don't leave good minds ajar
Commit to peace, take the good vow
Our lost world hatred has invaded
Yet love will save us and heal all scars

It is so peaceful today!
SHHHHHHH someone hisses.
You will ruin it.
But it really is a terrific day.
Three people give her a quick glare.
She laughs.
Not caring at all. 
Optimism cannot be squelched.
She is in a wonderful mood.
Begins to sing Oh What a Wonderful Morning!
Loudly and proudly.
The naysayers are instantly in a bad mood.
Go home with glaring faces.
Silly co-workers.
She smiles at how well she can aggravate them 
With sheer happiness....
