automatically a suspicious character”

“Complaining is easy,
writing is hard”
Gun Roswell
Write More, Complain Less
Why do I write?
Simply, because it feels right
If I did not write
The page would be quite white
Therefore, I continue to write
Write more, complain less!
Posted in the Daily Post: Wish
“This ain’t no wishing well”
Gun Roswell
Wish
Dear gods of weather
Hear my plead, my wish for the better
Please, release this wintery tether
And unleash the summery breeze of feather
For this view of now gives no pleasure
These times are no fun nor leisure
So dearies, this is no order nor push of pressure
Just send us that damned warm weather!

Johnny do-it-all (Quote a Week Tuesday)
For this week’s quote of the week, I have chosen something I myself can relate to: seems splitting up with either too many interests or skills leads to not being a master of anything! So, when to shoe fits, wear it 😉
“Jack of all trades, master of none,
though oftentimes better, than master of one”

Mistrust is such an Ugly Word
My poor little mistrusting thing
Think ,what joy a friend may bring
Together sharing your precious blings
Laughing when playing in the swing
Trust is a difficult thing
You say quicker than the clock could ding
I am afraid of the sting
Even if it means alone I would sing
Your world may not always be on a string
And you may not always be the king
But if you want that bell to ring
Spread out far your wings
And in the chorus you may sing

“Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come,
whispering, ‘It will be happier.’ “
Alfred Lord Tennyson
The Year, 2016
A year of joy, a year of sorrow
Sometimes thinking, there is no tomorrow
Two-Thousand and Sixteen
You made us wanna scream
One day a true horror movie
Which nobody wanted to see
Afterward, in our beds we lay
Out of control and in full dismay
Then, come next day,
We all got high and groovy
Fulfilling our duties
Like good soldiers, after a ‘smoothie’
Ups and downs
Laughs and frowns
Too many mishaps
To close all the gaps
What to do with that?
Live everyday in fear?
Or just roll over
And wait for the new year?
Oh, Two-Thousand and Sixteen
You left us conflicted
Can we ever another year trust
Or suspect it’s here to destroy us
Maybe this type of thing was predicted
Or maybe something just shifted
One unlucky moment
For a while in torment
Then, a brightly shining object
Gave us fulfillment
And all hope was restored
Finally looking forward
To a happy ending?
Maybe, but before this poem’s sending
Some thinking time to be spending
Planning ahead
So next time, no need to be scared
But for now, for a brighter future toward
I am hopefully on board
And at finish line stating
“I got a score!”
