The death of our boys and girls
Attending campuses to get an education
Gets gunned down by the ones seeking to protect gun rights
The right to purchase as much guns and ammo as you can afford
While illegal street guns get blame for it all.

Grandma's Love

I remember the day my first grandchild was born. The closer it got to his birth date the more excited I became. I was elated to tell all my Neopoet friends about him. When my son called to tell me the new baby was coming, I was up all morning waiting to get a picture from him to my cell phone. The moment I got the picture I was so proud and off to the hospital I went to see my new grand baby boy.

So This Is What 50 Look Like

So this is what 50 looks like after wandering around this wicked world. I remember the birthdays that made me think back about how I wanted my life to turn out. I thought about what I wanted to do with my life. After 50 years I've done everything my narrow mind envisioned as a teenager. Peering through the window of my childhood, I had no wisdom about anything. I had much knowledge about the people and things I observed for those fifty years. Everything I saw needed answers I didn't have, but will and did end up in a poems or articles I write.

Japanese Poetry Workshop

Japanese Poetry Workshop Blog

This blog is designed to aid any wanting to learn more about Japanese poetry. It can also help those wanting to add a variety to their poetic writing, that is learn a new way of writing poetry that once dominated the poetry community. Or maybe you just want to sharpen your skills as I did when I first learned of this form on the original Neopoet. I experimented with this style until my heart was content. 

Working With Japanese Poetry Workshop

The "Working With Japanese Poetry" workshop will be discussing 4 forms of Japanese poetry. Haiku, Senyru, Tanka, and Renga.
This workshop will compare the definitions of these four and discuss their forms.

Haiku: is unrhymed poetry about nature and is seasonal. It is written with three lines of syllables 5/7/5 line count. www.shadowpoetry.com/resources/haiku/haiku.html

Fed Up Wit life

I hate this world I live in
The people are so excruciating
I can't find peace or joy anywhere
All I can think about is heaven.

Paradise, well I try to imagine
myself enjoying life here on earth, but
I just can't see me here or feel me here
Above the skies is where I feel I belong.

I dispise living here among people I can't understand. No matter how much I try to relate
I grow more and more agitated.
