Taking the vow

This blog entry is dedicated to one thing: vowing for peace in this violent world of which we live (assuming you’re not a visiting alien from another planet – to those people I say, Welcome, and if you want to blow something up, go next door, thanks! *grin*). To continue, I am taking my own [...]

The Path from Weekend Wordsmith

OMG, I’m writing poetry again, thanks to one of regular inspirational sources, the Weekend Wordsmith. This week, Rich posted a picture of a Path. I’m not sure why, but here’s where my mind conjured at first look…okay, maybe second look (first look, I thought, “dirty stones” – hah!):
Path
Well-worn pathWhere do you go?If I’d take [...]

In search of a good word or two

The purpose of this blog entry is simple: I think I’m delicious and want to be Noshed.
What??? :O
I’m referring to the site Blog Nosh, which is basically a collection of some of the best, entertaining or informative blog entries on the web at a given moment. What makes me think I’m good enough for [...]

All about the nonsense

Image via Wikipedia
Bow-chicka-wow-wow! It’s Limericks Day! It’s a day to write/read/say “fun” poems in honor of Edward Lear’s birthday [May 12th], whom wrote all sorts of nonsense. I’ve enjoyed his writings since before I could analyze them to death [for various literature classes]. So, to celebrate the day, I’ve written some more of [...]

A Delicious Wordle

I’ve recently found this great site called Wordle.net a little that allows one to make all sorts of word pictures. A person could even call it a word poem, of sorts. One can create this picture with any text. And, finally I have had a chance to play! This particular one is not just any [...]

I survived another year – gotta celebrate!

Yep, it’s been a whole year since I last blogged about what happened on this day a *cough* while ago. So, excuse me for a moment as I say “Happy Birthday” to myself. *repeats in a whisper: Happy Birthday, self*

(uh-oh…looks like I choose a cake [above] with candles that never go out..I’ll be [...]

30 Days hath April and it’s time to party!

Dear NaBloPoMo,
Hah! I’ve conquered you once again. We’ve had a whole month of posting with the letters theme. Actually, I have one to boot. Double-score! And, those of you thought I could not do it…*sticks tongue out and singsongs laughter at you: ”hah-ha-hah-ha-haa-haa!”* Seriously, I’ve enjoyed this theme, and appreciate Eden / NaBloPoMo for getting me into this mess, even [...]

And now for something totally different

Yes, the title is a vague Monty Python reference, but not for the reason you may be thinking.
I had planned to blog about something else tonight. However, upon visiting a certain blog friend of mine, and a speech that she wrote/gave, she inspired me to do something totally different. Another acrostic poem has leapt into [...]

R-I-P Astros

Dear Astros,
I’m writing your obituary today, much like the Houston Chronicle did that one year, in efforts that maybe you’ll wake the heck up and start living up to the potential and hopes you talk about day after day. I realize all teams have their ups and downs, and without the likes of the “Killer [...]

It’s Font-a-licious!

The letter F is for….
Fonts, of course! Indulge me as I tell you a poetic story with a few fonts I found, all on one site.~~
