Premium Member On Our Silver Anniversary: Love Does Not Boast, But It Does Take Notes
Twenty-five years since we agreed to this and still, I vow to be there, just outside your line of sight, as you confidently mispronounce quinoa, as you decide, again, that the best way to check if the pan is hot is to touch it. I vow to say nothing as you eyeball...

Whilst beasts least bother to boast
What if man’s made to run a race with deer, Or with Chita a sprint he were to face, That, man’s no match appears mighty clear, Beasts would beat with half of their highest pace. Take any seal, a whale, or a dolphin, And let an Olympic swimmer compete, E’en one with gold medal can’t hope to win, What ants...

Premium Member Leprechaun Larrys Secret Weapon Boast
I have a secret weapon Leprechaun Larry said. We thought he was odd, a bit tiny in his head. It will get me the magic secret to the pot of gold. His claims were abrasive, rude, impolite and cold. What is his secret? I wondered to my cousin Mug. I think it is that he has a pet, a rare...

Premium Member Reason To Boast
Delay by Him has taken its toll, Waves of doubt rollover the soul, Despair extinguished the Spirit, Wax-filled ears would not hear it. "Listen, you have left My way! Wait for My providence and pray. Change of direction is needed." But His correction went unheeded. The restless spirit wrests control, God's will is no longer the goal, The anxious heart is not ideal, So,...

Be Reserved and Fame Deserved
You’d moved round and it wasn’t A Catwalk And your bare back arched and I didn’t talk The worst vomiting and I didn’t sulk And at me, missiles fired to baulk But tell me if I did yell or baulk? A right you have to strip body bare But I will see nothing of The Rare, Always self lending to abhorred boasts While...

A Transfer To a Coast
Never on Face Book post Your visit to a coast, Let alone a transfer By riskier miles far, Save you are spiritual And your prayers perpetual. The relocated-to-a-coast To not propose any toast Nor a chef order to chickens roast… Not for loud – mouthed boast One’s transfer to a coast, As waters are met the most...

She has a mama’s lap and a mama’s smile. There is a gentleness that reassures children. They climb up, knowing her hugs will be perfect She is a woman who understands people She speaks the language of children There is a loving awareness that precedes her She is content in her life’s work Grateful she was born a woman, Doing angel’s work, loving...

Premium Member Death
You pride yourself as the conqueror of humanity You boast that your power over man is awesome And strike him numb with fear You sneak into his life announced Sometimes you appear unannounced But always with devastating finality The rich cannot tame you The poor quake as you come knocking The mighty tremble before you The royalty dread you perpetually As a veritable threat to...

Premium Member Elsie, Renaissance Woman
My pal, Elsie has the biggest plans, grandiose almost, fantastically fun to hear about. She is a complete delight to be around, and the clothes, hats, and shoes she wears really shout. She keeps me in stitches for days on end when she flies in with her long-suffering earl. She is going to start a blog, paint a...
