Poems to Share

To slow down your daily travel hustle,

Mother Natures flexes her winter muscle.

Those little white flakes continue to fall.

Causing so many travel plans to stall.

Plow trucks are out doing their thing.

Waiting for what tomorrow may bring.

Who is open and who is closed today?

Skies are almost clear but oh so gray.

Unless you are brave enough to face the cold

So many of those nice winter plans go on hold.

Weather forecast shows another storm.

Time to stay in, hot drink, safe and warm.

Sometimes in my imagination, there’s a creative spark

A story to tell with energy that helps you hit the mark

Some days, that imagination is where you need it most

Right message when there is something you must post.

A story to tell, art to paint, maybe a new verse to write

Imagination, creativity, please don’t desert me tonight.

Write and rewrite until your creativity gets it right

Creativity dreams may just keep you up at night

Does that creative spark come from family genes?

Maybe you can picture your work on movie screens

A brand-new musical composition that really scores

Never lose that creative spark that is truly all yours.

For some, looking for that rainbow and pot of gold

Is a lifelong journey with wild dreams easily sold.

And if you find your dreams of that treasure

What will be your first steps of rich pleasure

A $2.00 lottery ticket and maybe you can score

Always be careful of dreaming for a little more.

Some dreams of treasure have you swimming upstream

Some pictures of treasure are just having a special dream.

For many there will always be treasures they hope to find.

For others, that rainbow is simply having peace of mind.

Tell me what’s next on your reading list.

Any chance there’s an author you missed

For me, there’s always another book to read

Romance, mystery, villains loaded with greed.

Favorite authors with a compelling story to tell

They have that touch to weave a magic spell

Maybe Stephen King who’s often a little creepy.

Any book on your heritage can touch you deeply.

A book from the library or one borrowed from a friend.

Always having enjoyment reading, treasured to no end.

There are some rhymes in my head that I rehearse

When it’s time to create and share a Monday verse

Some ideas just may need extra time to percolate.

We will think it out and save to use at a later date

I love writing and sharing and it is never any curse

Even if some of my thoughts may be a little perverse

Some lines, I write then I just have to rule them out

Always dreaming about what else I can write about

Lately I discover my poem to share I posted yesterday

Monday’s verse will now have to wait until Tuesday

Sometimes a voice in your head echoes and echoes

You can’t help but wonder what that voice really knows.

Now a voice so distinctive, you will know it anywhere

How about a sporty voice, always a challenge and dare

Children’s light voices wanting you to come out and play

Dad’s voice with advice you still want to listen to today

Voices with questions that there are no answers for.

Voices so melodic you can’t wait to hear them more

The salesman’s voice that must be confident and sincere

Of course, your wife’s sweet voice is listed as a must hear.
