The Beat of My Heart

Without a word I slip out of bed
and a thousand conversations
run through my mind
as I walk barefoot across worn carpeting.

Two nights ago, I barely made it home
while driving through a deluge
and water on the roads.
I defied the warnings
and survived
as bolts of lightning laced the sky.

I was the storm.
I was the silence.

Now as the sun pokes

Two Presidents convened

Two Presidents convened on this date,
reportedly to negotiate, the end of the
war and Ukraine's fate..
Instead the President of the United States,
and his very arrogant running mate,
chose to publicly bully and intimidate,
cause that's how we "make America great."
President Zelensky didn't take their bait.
He's a man of character, a Presidential trait,
and Ukraine's still a democracy. It's not
the

OH ARROGANCE BE STILL

Arrogance is such a miserable egotistical trait, 
Cultivated and nurtured to become their fate,
To me these people seem like over ripe tomatoes
packed in an old crate,
Which should be offered to passersby to throw
At them and smudge their face,
But either this or karma will envelop them in future days.
A compliment for or to them runs like

Personality trait makes a person ugly

I said to my sister, who was mad he's ugly.
,,No one is ugly! You can't say that. God created them like that"
,,I know what you mean, I don't mean it like that."
,,God brings your facial features to turn ugly if you keep-"
,,Don't you once understand?!
I once found his smile like eating apple sauce on pancakes

Confidence

Dear guys, is confidence a personality trait?,                       
No it is a skill that can be acquired or cultivated,               

Trait

Steps help move up or down
Spoil not cham with a frown;
Gait, speech reveal class
Pace, pause reflect class.

Tactful Trait

Surf happily on waves of thought,
when you are lonely.
Bloom graciously flowers of words,
when you are with people

Titillating Trait

My trump suit against lifelong tragic tone 
Lodged leisurely inside my funny bone. 

By dismal doom I decline to abide -
I crack it up to a facetious side. 

In each pickle, regardless size and shape, 
There is a laughing matter in a jape. 

When unwelcome hiccups simmer and spout, 
I’d pick and poke something to

Of Tasteful Trait

I speak the words...of tasteful trait 
For you, my friends...to get it straight 
To etch upon...my stone or slate 
These words I always...try to state 
"Thou shall love...and thou shall not hate" 
Be' eth engraved...on heaven's gate 
My love, to all...I shall donate 
From now, until...my dying date

Might of Every Trait

Peace of mind is a sacred masterpiece
When it comes not, we lose all the fun
Worry normally stops it in a great hurry
Sorrow makes the way for it very narrow

Happiness arrives only though calmness
Choice of quietude only helps us rejoice
Carry love if the need is too much merry
Sever kindness and soul contacts fever

Affection has the power

Virtuous Trait of Morality

I place a great deal of importance on morality
and never will I perceive it as a mere triviality
It is a fine quality I seek when choosing a friend
A virtuous trait, one should never condescend

Those relishing debauchery, I consider unsavory
Surrendering their honor will surely lead to slavery
A bondage that breaks the ethical code of respect
Their sense

A Human Trait

It's hard to know the extent of one's vision
For various reasons, our inner thoughts remain hidden
It's a human trait
There's no debate
Some things are personal and can't be gotten rid of
