Poetry

  • The Warrior's Song

    Friday, December 26, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

    When things go wrong as they often do,
    (Over & over again, it's true.)
    It's hard to keep your chin up high;
    Much easier to lay down and die.
    -
    But giving up s'not the thing to do
    For it helps no one, not even you.
    Retreat if you must to lick your wounds,
    Take the time you need to find your tune.
    -
    Then singing your song, loud & clear...
    Return to fight for what you ho...

    It was very peaceful there. 
    As I walked through the garden I spotted some pretty little butterflie's and I started trying to get some pictures of them. I managed to catch this one atop a flower.
    This garden had many lovley flowers, but I found this one especially interesting so I took it's pi...

  • I love to go to the zoo...

    Sunday, August 23, 2009

    One of the most enjoyable day trips I love to take is to grab my digital camera
    and go to the zoo.  These pictures I took over this past weekend at the
    Point Defiance Zoo.
    Imagine my surprise when I looked at the photo and saw what I
    snapped. I just love this picture.
    Another great picture that happened by accident. I love the expression
    of the girl looking at this moon jelly fish.
    The Octopus wa...

  • Abou Ben Adhem

    Friday, January 2, 2009

    Abou ben Adam (may his tribe increase!)
    awoke one night from a deep dream of peace,
    And saw, within the moonlight of his room,
    Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom,
    an angel, writing in a book of of gold.
    *
    Exceeding peace had made Ben Adam bold,
    And to the Prescence in the room he said:
    "What writest thou?" The vision raised its head,
    And, with a look made of all sweet accord,
    Answered, &quo...

  • ALONG THE WATER FRONT
    Waves smacking the rocks
    Gulls flying high above me
    Drift wood scattered fro
    Foam and weeds  blanket
    Salt the taste of breezy air
    Clouds float high above
    I walk slowly on
    Take the scene in as I go
    Along water's edge
    Boats away from shore
    Sails luffing as they change course
    Then take up the wind
    My dog besides me
    We walk further the beach
    The suns warmth on us
    At a bench we stop
    To r...

  • Dream Catcher

    Saturday, August 8, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

    This past week my art therapy group worked on making dream catchers. We used instructions from a website called nativetech.org. The project though it looks intricate was actually not too dificult to pick up. We added beads in the web to symbolize the things we wanted to catch in the web.  Either the bad things we wanted to stay out of our dreams or the good things we wanted to focus our drea...

  • >>>>For all my Friends in need

    Saturday, September 6, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

    I know how u feel when youre sad and so low,
    feelings and emotions just dont seem to go,
    no one understands and no one seems to care,
    you sit and wonder why and say a little prayer 
    So why am i alone trying to get by,
    so hard to want to live but i know ive got to try
    Time just passes by and days go on and on,
    for all of you on here ill keep on staying strong
    We may not have it all and sometimes run ...

  • Well...it's prose. It's graphic, so if you're not up for detail, or being able to understand my trauma. Don't read it. I had it published, and this is the last place I will be sharing it as part of my healing process. Once I post, I won't be reading it again.
    Keep in mind, December 29th is the day my father was gone forever.

    Sunday, June 21, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

    Under the wild waves
    There exists  a peaceful place
    Where fish play and eels glide
    And turtles slowly race
    Corals and plants grow
    Below the surface and sun
    Completing a scene of wonder
    Look what my hands have done...
