Premium Member Balmore Eruv Verve!
Balmore Eruv Verve! Once there was a Rabbi Yonah, Whose Shabbos Eruv made you wonder, Does Yonah’s art belong in the Louvre? Does our gratitude behoove yah? This Detroit Tiger slams a Homah! For Yonah is Balmore’s donor, Mesiras Nefesh, never a groaner, Keeping Jews in the groove, It only goes to prove, Huh? Giving generously makes one an owner! ...

Oh, the 1990's, songs by Seattle grunge, and boy band's romanticism. Daughter was a cheerleader beauty, blonde effervescence. Petite strength, with her smile of enthusiasm, tossed up in adolescent flight.. Friday night varsity football games, roaring bonfire for the Homecoming in October's night of a crisp chill. High school boyfriend faded into nostalgia's mist of memories. Twenty-four years have passed, a Mom in her forties, my grandchildren her joy. Two decades...

Verve of My Nerve
History, forgotten element of man`s life Adage of forgiving and forgetting Messing and proceeding on the solemn assembly Expunging and blotting life-long terribly but carefully committed and covered-up tracks. If at all the inanimate had ears and eyes We would all be at ransom for our lives If mistakes could be made up and rounded up to significance of our lives humanity would erode...

Be optimistic rather than fatalistic. Don't squander and be elated hedonistic. Retain moving; only the obdurate survive. Hand jives your way to contrive. Slump or solidity must be omitted.  Wear awe mood when having moved.  Don't be shy in taking elitism. Self-reliance is a wedge of realism....

Rose To Her Verve and Wit
R-ose to her verve and wit, U-ntiring viewers watched; B-eauty and brains they witnessed, Y-es, life's lesson was catched. A-mount of skill was big, N-ot few or small in volume; N-either slight nor puny, her knowledge was in bloom. Z-eal to rise to the occasion, U-sing her own cleverness; L-arge size of intelligence U-nfolded her huge success. E-veryone was...

Premium Member Fighting Chilblains
Come now, you days so dreary, with thoughts mundane and weary. Both windy rain and bitter cold, find comfort in blains and days of old. To sit and sigh and wonder why this if and when the eyes are dry and the coals no longer lit are pale in the wake of stormy frozen gale. Until the frost is no longer on the...

Once more to the breach... Once more to the wall Once more to the never, never land that soon will consume us all. Hail to the Queen Hail to the King and goodbye to those who may fall. To the rest: Scale the height of the wall. God is our source of strength and verve He will guide us each step of the way so...

Live what you see: Dare to just be Poise in beauty Love what you do: Deed springs from you String voice anew Poise claims a space: Look to firm trace Work with fond face Choice sparks a trend: Ink your clear plans Walk what you scan Stay wild and free: Sense heart's story Tint what can be Play where you stay: Laugh lots each day Wit knows the way Be calm and clear: Style...
