Flashback Friday Poetry: Serenity

life is a series of moments
some moments better than others
when you’re seeking peace from within
you must find your serenity
you must find your favorite moment
the one moment like no other
remember what you felt within
this moment brings serenity
a certain day is my moment
one day i shared with another
so much joy broke out from within
such joy watching Serenity

Throwback Thursday Poetry: Heart Broken

are you lonesome tonight
are you heart broke inside
did life just pass you by
in the blink of an eye
nothing left to do but
walk alone on the streets
your passion has been beat
you’ve lost all that you seek

when i was a child
i dreamed of just one girl
she had long jet-black hair
and eyes of mystery
but she was never real
she lived in fantasy
the only true love found
inside my head with me

the heart is a muscle
so what is love in this
is the love in one’s heart
a metaphor for bliss
when one is heartbroken
their heart’s not in pieces
their mind maybe shattered
but their heart is still beating

Early poetry from James. From the poetry collection Pariah Bound: The Lonesome Poetry.

Wacky Wednesday: August 19

Welcome to another Wacky Wednesday. We’ve all survived another wacky week and since it’s 2020 things can only get more bizarre. Our first word for today is Impignorate. This transitive verb has a simple definition. It means to pledge, pawn, or mortgage. Our next is Jentacular. An adjective which means of or pertaining to a breakfast taken early in the morning, or immediately on getting up. I guess most people don’t eat breakfast right away. I’m always hungry when I wake up, but I start with coffee.

Our national holidays today are a little all over the place. First is National Bow Day. This refers to bows on clothing and in one’s hair. Men wore bow ties in the 18th century and, as fashion trends changed, women began wearing them to accessorize. Next we have National Aviation Day which was started in 1939 by Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He designated the anniversary of Orville Wright’s birthday as this holiday. Finally, we have National Soft Ice Cream Day. Soft serve ice cream has been popular since the 1930s. It contains less milk fat than hard ice cream and isn’t kept as cold as hard ice cream.

Sounds like a lot of fun things to celebrate today. If nothing else, get yourself some ice cream and throw some bows in your hair. And if you want to wear a bow tie, please get a real one and not a clip on. We need to make bow ties popular again.
