Some Say They Like My Poetry.....

Some say they like my poetry. I guess I have never really thought of it as anything less then just words. I began writing them about 15 years ago. It seems I write for a bit then the urge is gone. It is rather weird.

I was thinking somewhere up in my mind,

It is a place I don't much travel

I seem to be on my way there more and more times,

Yet I always seem to lose my way

I find myself another day,

Going again in that same direction

Oh, that's right my keys are on the table,

Off to work I go in a flash

The dinner bell rings at half past eight,

My stomach growls as I anticipate

Thinking somewhere up in my mind,

I bet my dinner is all but ready

In the refrigerator back home

It's time to go rings out the last buzzer,

Jump in the car, come on let's go

Almost home,

Gas gauge is blinking

Only two more blocks till smooth sailing

Into the drive and turn off the key,

Up the stairs to find you asleep

Thinking somewhere up in my mind,

What a day this has been

Wanting only to be right here again,

There's no map needed,

No directions to keep

Open arms reach out,

With a come here baby

Within his arms a gentle hand,

brushes through my hair

I hear him say,

Pobrecita mi hija, venga se mi hija

Thinking somewhere up in my mind,

I don't need to travel there

For looking in his eyes,

All I need is here

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Marko

I know, I know I am always late. I will see you tonight for supper on me for your BIG day!

My Lost Valentine

This goes out to someone that I love, loved and lost. Happy Valentine's Day! I miss you and I am sorry!

I Lost My Valentine Today!

I thought I felt him behind me this morning,

It was only the fluff of the pillow that supported my back

I thought I felt his breath upon my neck,

I awoke to the lonely cold drafts of emptiness that surrounded me

I thought I smelled him upon my covers,

It was only the faintest of aroma's

I thought I heard him say my name,

It was only the television that had been left on all night

I know he is still here,

I can still feel him inside

Please no games to day,

I don't want you to hide

I closed my eyes and wished for sleep,

A dream perhaps of you and me

I know your not here,

I only wish you were still mine

Can anyone please try and find,

My one and only

Lost Valentine

Life's To Short

Today was the last week of my work week and the thought I had all day is, Life is to short.

It seems I never have enough time to do the things I want to get done or the things I enjoy. The funny part of all this is that I have all the time in the world to lay on the couch and not do anything. I truly believe that this makes you lazier. I know that seems to be the extent of it for me.

I seem to do all the things I hate to do and none of the things I like to do. Ironically, by the time you are finished doing the things you don't like to do all you want to do is be lazy and not do anything.

I think that I am going to try and make a daily agenda for myself. I will pick one thing I like to do and make it a point to get it done.

I was going through some of my old poems that I at one time wrote and I came across one that was always my favorite. It is not one of mine, I never found the author. All the same it makes me think about the things in life that you don't give much thought to until it is to late.

I hope you enjoy it.

Tomorrow

She was going to be all she could be

Tomorrow

None would be more successful then she

Tomorrow

There were friends that could help her

Who'd be only to happy to see what they could do

On them she would pay a visit or two

Tomorrow

Each morning she would stack up the letters she'd write

Tomorrow

And thought of the things that would give her delight

Tomorrow

But she hadn't one moment to stop on the way

"More thought I must give to my future", she'd say

Tomorrow

The greatest of workers this gal would have been

Tomorrow

The world would have hailed her, had ever there been a

Tomorrow

But in fact she passed on and she faded from view

Now all that was left here when living was through

Was a mountain of things she intended to

Tomorrow

Tired

Sorry I didn't blog today it has been a long week and I think that weekends are going to be for blogging. I just get to tired after work. I will have something for you then.

Today's Useful But Confusing Words

Giving thought to something that seems so meaningless.

Today's words are Homonym, Homophone and Homograph.

Homonym: One of two or more words spelled and pronounced alike but different in meaning (as cleave meaning "to cut" and cleave meaning "to adhere" (coincidentally, also antonyms!)

Homophone: One of two or more words pronounced alike but different in meaning or spelling (as the words to, too, and two)

Homograph: Two or more words spelled alike but different in meaning or pronunciation (as the bow of a ship, a bow and arrow)

Those poor school kids. It seems to me that it is hard enough to figure out what to say at times. After I do, then I need to figure out how and what word or words to use. Believe me at times this can drive you into a frenzy.

I thought I would post this list I found so that you may find the humor in it also. My only conclusion to this list is say what your thinking. Don't worry everyone else will let you know how to say it and write it.

I never new there were so many and it makes me wonder how many of them I have misused or spelled or confused for the other.

Had to add a picture of the new car. It is my first newer car. Now if it only lasts longer then the payments. (Knock on wood!)

The Real World Was Fun, but I Like It Here

I finally got my internet back and had to get to updating. Who knew that being gone from the internet for so long would be such a time consuming battle once you came back. Computer updates, virus resets, finding you have 376 emails waiting to be read, oh just all priceless.

My last entry was on my birthday and so much has happened since. I could go back and recap the last 4 months but the end of last year came and went and I have read enough recaps lately to make ones eyes cross. Wow, how was that for a run on sentence. Eat your heart out Mrs. Stahl! (My 5th grade English teacher)

I have to say hi to all my blogging friends. I have missed you all. It will take me a little while to catch up on everything going on with everyone. I will try to visit everyone's blogs. It will probably take me the next 3 months just to do that.

I would like to congratulate my little bro Marko for having his blog picked to be highlighted at blogger.com. Way to go! I told you that you always have something to say and your interests and opinions are so what is needed. Whether interesting or not there is always a place for them. Keep up the blogging!

I myself on the other hand have found that I really only have a day to day thought entry for my blog. It won't save the world or ignite a war (hopefully) but it gives me a place to feel welcome no matter what my frame of mind.

I have been asked about the car situation a lot through my emails and also here and there. Yes, I did finally buy a car. It was quite scary. It has been along time since I have had a car payment and being on your own financially makes it almost terrifying. I bought a 1995 Ford Contour and I really like it. I will put a picture in this entry for you all.

I receive lots of miss you messages and would like you say also thank you for the concern. Maybe now I can get back in contact with everyone. I can not promise a entry everyday but I will do my best to be here more.

For now I have to go I will be back soon!
