  • Allergic to E Challenge

    July 27, 2015

    Thank you Carol at writersdream9.wordpress.com for choosing me to take part in this challenge, I enjoyed it very much.

    The rules are as follows:

    • Write a paragraph
    • Do not use any words that include the letter “e” in their spelling
    • Challenge at least 5 others to do the same

    My Paragraph:

    Blood flows from my mouth.  That airbag hit with such fury that it split my lip. What was that fawn doing standing in my way?  I couldn’t hit him, so my victim was a guard rail which took my car and my lip with it.  Waiting for a cop to show up was agonizing and with all of this blood on my shirt I look as if I am a shooting fatality.  All I know is that if I had to do it again I would…without vacillation.

    Nominations:

    1. Emma at emma1951.wordpress.com
    2. Jen at blogitorloseit.com
    3. Serena at journeyofmst.com
    4. Rosy at sharingmemyselfandi.wordpress.com
    5. Celestine at readinpleasure.wordpress.com

    If you do not wish to participate that is perfectly fine, I just wanted you to know that I find you all very talented and that I enjoy your writing very much.  Have fun with it if you choose…it really is quite challenging.

  • Hawks Call For More War

    July 27, 2015

    Hawks call for more war

    A peaceful resolution

    Is the last resort

    Someone I think is confused

    When shedding blood is first choice

  • Wave of Heat Rising

    July 24, 2015

     

    Wave of heat rising

    Into the blue clear abyss

    Summertime desert

    She’s made inhabitable

    By man’s ingenuity

  • Pointing Out Problems

    July 24, 2015

    Pointing out problems

    Does not a solution make,

    Trump is no genius!

    Those of his ilk made this mess

    Now you think he can fix it.

    The boy who cried wolf

    That is all he really is

    …You’ve fallen for it.

  • National Rifle Association

    July 24, 2015

    Never enough death for their liking

    Always responding with “more guns”

    This never seems to solve anything

    It simply exacerbates the problem

    Our constitution was meant to be fluid

    Not fixed in the past

    As times change so must it change

    Lest we be captive to our founders

     

    Read Jefferson

    In his infinite wisdom he prayed it to progress

    Fitting the needs of future generations

    Left to our own vices we have failed

    Every time a death occurs with gun-in-hand

     

    Aren’t the lives lost worthy of discussion

    Society says it has progressed

    Sadly…I do not see it

    Only more violence met with the promise of violence

    Calls for change go unheeded

    Instead they are met with angry rhetoric

    Attacking anyone who disagrees

    Toughening of gun laws is not outrageous

    It is common sense

    Only a savage society would disagree

    Now let the games continue

    Broken by living

    An old man lies fetally

    Praying for his death

    Torturous life on the street

    Trades its mercy for your soul

  • Feeding On Our Fears

    July 23, 2015

    Feeding on our fears,

    Our bones ripe for the picking,

    Vultures every one.

    Everyday a new horror

    New people, places and things.

     

    You must be gifted

    WIth visions of the future

    At your fingertips.

    Can you sense the sarcasm

    Dripping from each written word?

     

    With an artist’s flare

    You paint the grimmest picture

    Of Hell here on earth

    Done just for your benefit

    And this nation’s war machine.

     

    With impure motives

    Your aim is not to protect

    It is to profit,

    Using blood as currency

    To swell your coffers.

     

    Now I must ask you

    With sincere undue respect…

    Define terrorist!

    Not exclusive to Islam

    So…if the shoe fits wear it.

  • Two Magnets Are We

    July 22, 2015

    Two magnets are we

    Drawn together by our love

    Match made in Heaven

  • Walking Arm-In-Arm

    July 20, 2015

    Walking arm-in-arm

    Out of love and for balance

    Joys of getting old
