Finally Finished!

Thirty poems
Almost one a day
So many things

I've had to say
From TV shows
I watch each week
To the peace
I often seek
Some are funny
Somer are not
But each one is
A different thought
The last line wrote
The poem now done
But should I
Make it thirty-one?

Friends

I thank God
For the friends I know
And each one for the special way
His love does show
They brighten my day
With a word or a smile
Some are forever
Others a short while
Let me learn to be
A better friend
Sharing of His love
That is ever without end
like flowers that grow
So our friendship does
I know
In the garden of my life
Among the thorns and weeds
Friends are the brightest flowers
Grown from tiny seeds

Reading

A library is
A fovorite place to be
Books books books
Surrounding me
Books of poetry
Books that rhyme
Books are a pleasant way
To spend my time
Reading can take me
To many a place
From the ocean deep
To outer space
My imagination soars
To reaches high
From swimming the sea
To the moon do I fly
From books of knowledge
I can learn
Everything from history
To why the earth does turn
If I couldn't read
No poems could i write
For the letters would mean nothing
Within my sight

Castle

Nathan Fillion
Is Rick Castle
And to Kate Beckett
He can be quite the hassle
Tagging along
Involved in each case
Calling it research
For his new character and place
Beckett considers him
A pain in the rear
And tehre are times
She wishes he couldn't be here
Castle has a daughter
Alexis her name
And he loves her more
Than fortune and fame
I look forward each Monday
To finish out the night
Watching the show
With great delight

Where Does The Time Go?

Sometimes I get so busy
I can't find time to write
The day goes by so quickly
And soon it is the night
The minutes slip
Away from me
Quickly gone
Before I see
And I wonder where
The time did go
For I've really no that much
To show
So many distractions
Take me away
And now I have nothing
Written at all today

Summertime Blues

I think Summer
Came a little too soon
It gets downright hot
By the time it's noon
The cool night
Of Spring I yearn
But I think Spring
Just missed it's turn
Hot is the night
But hotter the day
I can never win
Either way
For many a child
It means freedom from school
But I just wishSummer
Could be alittle more cool
So I'll do my best
Getting through each day
Knowing that Fall
Is on it's way

One Thing I've Learned

One thing I've learned
As I've gone through this week
I have to let God
Show mw what I need to seek
Things I have struggled with
I want the answer made known
I know it's not up to me
But to God alone
I can give Him excuses
But that's only for me
He dosen't want excuses
but my ministry
I must rely on God
And He'll find a way
But I need to start
Trusting Him today

Oops I Goofed

Just a few words
I have to say
My poetry goal
I missed a day
To much going on
Too busy my mind
No time to compose
Or the words to find
I'm posting this
On the day it was meant
Even though I goofed up
My poetry goal I've not given up yet

Sometimes I wonder

Sometimes I wonder
How my life would be
If things had
Turned out differently
Would  I still
Be a poet?
I really don't
Know it
Had my talent
been a different way
Would as many people
Be blessed  by what I say?
Suppose I could sing
Any song
Would there be a ministry
For me to belong?
Although a tragedy
Tore my life apart
forcing me to make
A brand new start
God knew where to place me
In this church I call home
A place to ministrer
And a place to belong

Kritter

Kritter is the name
Of my Calico cat
I've had her ten years
Now what do you think of that?
From a kitten she grew
To an old cranky cat
Sometimes I wonder
What to make of that
She's a feline
Of many a mood
And sometimes to cahnge them
I must offer her food
With a growl and a hiss
She warns "Keep away"
And far from her'
Is whare I plan to stay
But still there are times
She'll be right by my side
On top of my work
Is where she wants to abide
She's not much to purr
Unless it's to be fed
And usually she does it
While I'm still curled up in bed
Now don't get me wrong
With these words that I write
Really I love her
But just not tonight

Seeking Peace

Some people search
For peace in vain
Wondering what
They'll have to gain
For a life stilled
Of doubts and fears
Feeling like they
Haven't in years
Not since they
Were very young
And the worries of life
Had just not begun
But peace really
Is in our reach
When we turn to God
The words He teach
There is one way
For everyone
We'll have peace
When we find His Son
No more to worry
How life will be
And after this life
Where we'll spend eternity.

Children singing

I love to hear
Little children sing
The joyful noise
They gladly bring
They may not be
In tune or key
But it matters not
To you or me
You'll never know
If they'll go far
But each one is
A shining star
And God looks down
From Heaven about
Smiling as He sends
His joy and His love

ABCs Of A Poem

Another poem I write you see
Before the time runs out on me
Cleverly I have my say
Don't you just love word play?
Every poem a different one
For writing them is so much fun
Getting posted is the trick
Hoping lj will let them stick
It may be viewed or may be not
Just that its there and not forgot
Keeping up takes some time
Loving every crazy rhyme
Making sure the words I write
Nonetheless will turn out right
On and on this poem goes
Playing with words as everyone knows
Quick we pray please let it end
Really I've gone round the bend
Soon the end will be in sight
There's just a few more lines to get it right
Until then just patience be
Very soon no more you'll see
When next the poem I compose
X-tra care to in it will shows
Yes one more line will I write
Ze end is now in your sight

Inspiration?

For sixteen days
I've done quite well
A poem a day
As you can tell
But it seems
That tonight
I can't find
A single thing to write
As I look around
The things I see
Not one of them
Does inspire me
Not even a Calico cat
Trying to drive me crazy
I guess my brain
Just wants to be lazy
These words thrown together
At least they rhyme
So I'll have something
Before I run out of time
I'm sure tomorrow
I'll have something to say
It is after all
Another day

KItten

Kitten playing
With ball of yaarn
Stolen from my basket
Darn!
Purple yarn
Strewn across the floor
And now she wants
To get some more
A ball of pink
Catches her eye
Hooked by claws
It's on the fly
Kitten grabbed
In arms held tight
No more playing
With my yarn tonight
Kitten cuddles
By my side
Glad to be
Safe and warm inside

Poetry

Poems can be written
In many a way
And they can express
So many things to say
They may be short
Like a haiku
or very long
Like the classics we knew
Sometimes they have
No reason or rhyme
Written in such
A short bit of time
Poets can paint
With words that they write
Sometimes bringing tears
Or joy and delight
I am a poet
My words are simple you see
And a poet is who
Forever I'll be

Numb3rs

Numb3rs is a really
Cool show
I love to watch it'
Don't you know
Math is used
In a clever way
Sometimes used
To save the day
Crimes committed
Now what to do?
Math is used
To solve the crime
It's quite amazing
When used each time
The FBI will ge ttheir man
When Chrlie's there
To do what he can
I may not know
What he tries to explain
And figuring it out
Gives my head a pain

Easter

Sunrise service
Starts the day
Despite the cold and chill
I make my way
To a chosen place
With others came
To simply worship
Focus on His Name
The Lord's Supper
We partake
Then seperate ways 
We each do make
At church I listen
To the choir sing
The joyful message
They do bring
I know there's no place
I'd rather be
On Easter 
And every other Sunday

Math

Addition subtraction
Multiply and divide
Those problems just make me
Want to run and hide
Fractions, decimils
And geometry too
So much about Math
That I never knew
Lines they go this way
Lines they go that
Sometimes they curve
And sometimes lie flat
Pythagriam Theroum
Now try saying that fast
But once you master it
It can be a blast
Pi is used
With things that are round
Pi can measure pie
That I have found
Numbers I see
Even when I close my eyes
But Math really is fun
Now that's a surprise!

Ode To A Favorite Show

Tuesday nights on my TV
There is a show that's really 'must see'
"The Mentalist" is the title of this quirky tale
And isn't he such a handsome male?
Simon Baker plays the role with flair
Don't you just love his curly hair?
His character is Patrick Jane
Now that's somebody who's definitely not plain
We watch to see what he has in store
And he always leaves us wanting more
The rest of the cast make up the show
Because without them well I don't know
Every character we know by name
And if one were missing it wouldn't be the same
