Faces (WP Writing: Intro to Poetry) One

Poetry, Day Two: Face

* For today’s poem, take a single face you know as your point of departure. It doesn’t even have to be a real-life, flesh-and-blood face you’re writing about. Faces are everywhere in the texture of our daily lives: from portraits in the museum to the banknotes in our wallets, and from billboards and street art to online profile pictures.
* If you’d like to push yourself a bit further today, give alliteration a try — it’s a handy poetic device that involves repeating the same consonant sound multiple times.

Faces

“That’s my face, so what?” Gun Roswell

What, no treat?

Bull faced doggy with his mouth quite soggy
Was right on treat time when the clock struck five

“I won’t leave this spot,
Until you gimme all you got!”

Partners of all shapes and sizes for The Daily Post

“I’m lucky in having found the perfect partner to spend my life with” Sara Paretsky

Partners in Generations

Aunt and niece
Together complete
A partnership by blood
Sometimes causes a flood
But, as they say
Blood is thicker than water
But sometimes reunions get hotter
And I hope you brought some paddles
It’s going to be rough weather
So, best let out a pray!

“Remember, as far as everyone knows, we are a nice, normal family!”

Ode to My Family

Can’t live with them
Can’t live with them
That is really all that can be said
Rather than whining, I wrote this ode instead

I would like to put them in a box
And take them out when ever needed
But there is a warning to be headed
They really are quite crazy
Maybe a little hazy
And cunning like the fox
The may not be my kind of crazy
But they are still family
Even though scattered all over
Like a five leaf clover
I still have the luxury
Maybe even compulsory
To keep in touch with them
Thank Goodness for such gems
As Instagram and Facebook
Now we are all hooked

So without resistance
Lets enjoy the distance
No just kidding
I love you guys!

Family (The Daily Post: Future)

Family you are born to
Family you can make
They may not always be what you want
But be sure to give them a break

The Good Old Times

In response to a Facebook challenge for “photos from the past” by Jenni Valtonen

childrenlisteningtoradio1

“Say goodbye to the oldies, but goodies, because the good old days weren’t always good and tomorrow ain’t as bad as it seems.” Billy Joel

The Good Old Times

In the good old times…

Everything was cheaper
The sky was much bluer
The summers were longer
The winters were colder
The children played nicer
The women were prettier
The men more handsome
The songs were chansons
The television shows were better
Complaints were written in letters
The world was wider
Everyone drank cider

And over all…
Everyone had more fun

In the good old times!

SL WEEK 15: Communications; Lesson in Water Guns

Photo Challenge by SYLVAIN LANDRY
A response to Sylvain’s challenge theme of communications
“Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something” Plato

SL WEEK 15: Communications; Lesson in Water Guns

“So listen carefully, because I shall say this only once”

Others nodding in unison.

“This is the safety, once you pull it back, you can shoot.”

Everyone staring in awe and with a bewildered look on their faces.

“You know what a safety is?”

“Um…” “Um” “No?”

“OK, I will show you one more time. Now watch and listen carefully!”

Throwback Thursday: Gun Roswell

“Childhood means simplicity. Look at the world with the child’s eye – it is very beautiful” Kailash Satyarthi

Throwback Thursday: Gun Roswell

The year was nineteen sixty eight
Life still at stage wait
I must have been no more
Than three years of age

Little Red Riding Hood
Yes, I knew I could
In the borrowed red elf’s hat
Cutest thing you ever saw
Prettiest princess of them all
How could I ever top that!

Now, forty seven years later
Oh life, you’re such a traitor!
I still love red of course
Now I wear it with horns
In the mighty stiletto heels
Life is as good as it feels
