Flashback Friday Poetry: Holiday Wishes

standing here without even seeing it
or pretending not to and believing it
hoping she’ll walk by Observing it
and give me a kiss; oh how i’ve wished for this
a feeling of warmth that flushes to me face
if only my dream could come true in this place
this poisonous plant; i stand beneath it
Mistletoe can be deadly if you eat it
but a Kiss can be even deadlier if you mean it

Early poetry from James.

Throwback Thursday Poetry: Winter Break

no happiness when Ice covers the Ground
all are trapped underneath this Tomb so cold
but it looks so beautiful all around

some things in nature shock you when they’re found
blank stares are shown when the story is told
no happiness when Ice covers the Ground

no hope for escape when your mind is bound
you wish you were the one who could be bold
but it looks so beautiful all around

feeling of weakness when you heart has Drowned
the retelling of a story so old
no happiness when Ice covers the Ground

i look upon the Earth; this Graveyard mound
while the wrath of the storm She does unfold
but it looks so beautiful all around

i sit here among all my friendly Sounds
the cold Shard in my chest that i still hold
no happiness when Ice covers the Ground
but it looks so beautiful all around

Early poetry from James.

Wacky Wednesday: February 10

Today is a bit lack luster in the wackiness department, but it’s still fun. We continue with our old English insults and I think these two words will find more uses in today’s society. The first is Snoutband. This refers to someone who constantly interrupts a conversation, typically only to contradict or correct someone else. There are many snoutbands on the internet. Some of them are pre-teen gamers. Our next word is Sorner. This refers to someone who unappreciatively lives off other people. Sorning was the 16th century equivalent of mooching or sponging. There are many of those people in the world, too.

We begin the holidays section with our token food holiday, National Cream Cheese Brownie Day. The first documented recipe of a cream cheese brownie was published in 1906. Next is a holiday I know you’re all really excited about, National Home Warranty Day. Unlike homeowner’s insurance, home warranty covers repairs and replacement of appliances that break down from normal use. Do you have warranties for your appliances? Finally, today is also National Umbrella Day. The basic umbrella has been around for over four thousand years. Evidence of them has been found in art and artifacts from Egypt, Assyria, Greece, and China. Have you told your umbrella how much you appreciate the work they do?
