NEIGHBORLY NONET

What does it take to be neighborly

a warm hello across a fence

a helping hand when needed

or a smile the brightens

Barbecue invites

or just being

as quiet

as you

can

15. Write a poem that describes the wallpaper on your computer or the image on the last postcard you received.

OURS IS...

VALENTINE RASCLE

A childless mother is what I am

for my body has long since been barren

but mother to her, pet lovers understand,

so I snap shots of her with my Cannon

One of my favorite things to do

is to get her in a pose

though most times I have no luck

she usually turns up her nose...

But this time I was luckier

than most times I had tried

I used a flower to pull her out

of the place she likes to hide

So as her attention was drawn in

her image I did capture

now it is my wallpaper

I really love her stature

Love my baby girl !!

Today is L

 LUXURY

Living in luxury

in my trailer park home

it may not seem luxurious

but for me its next to none

My rent is within my means

which these days that's hard to find

and I have a garden that many say

is really one of a kind

so in my mind its a luxury

to have the life I've got

and for this hard core country girl

it really means a lot !!

LOL... the nutty one, that's me !!

14. Think of the nicest thing someone ever said to you. Write a poem about a rainy day and something flooding. End the poem with the good thing someone said.

LOL ... OURS IS ...

Rain was coming in torrids
and there was no end in sight
we had hoped it would subside
but it worsened overnight

Yet all is well within my world
for in my house I'm safe and dry
and my husband just said to me
I'm the apple of his eye !!

Tee hee hee

13. Run around your house and grab 5 items that all begin with the same letter. Write a poem as an ode to one of these items or that includes these items.
We will do ours in a English ode with the rhyme scheme of ABABCDECDE.
Our items are... GUM, GREETING CARDS, GUITAR, GLUE, GLITTER

OURS IS...

ODE TO MY GUITAR

There you are waiting once again

for a strum or a pluck to hum

like a greeting card from a faraway friend

or a discarded piece of chewing gum

Your cords rain glitter in my mind

and glue all thoughts together

bringing sweet peace to my soul

more time with you I'd like to find

our harmony ringing true forever

to play you guitar, is my goal

Ok so I'm not quite awake just yet LOL

YOUR TURN
ENJOY
