    Hi wuzfuz, how you feeling?
    Please don't say it's with your hands
    It will send me reeling
    It's good to see you here.

    Well I hope you're "flying high"
    With your heart condition...
    Hope that you'll be good as new
    For sure...no supposition!

    Aren't you a clown? Laughing
    Teasing your dear wife???
    Threatening her with flying
    Jostling with your life???!!
    Did she surely smack you?
    Or dismiss another tale..
    It likely was the latter..
    Cuz' you're a joker...never fail! Laughing

    deleted post, and I was right.

    Took a walk today in a woodland scene
    Every tree and bush a different shade of green.
    Wild apple trees a beauty to behold
    Pink and white buds about to unfold.

    Bumble bees gather all around
    Seeking sweet nectar soon to be found.
    A lovely scent fills the air
    A blessing from above to have a day so fair.

    My Love For Poetry - Page 2 Empty ODE TO FIFI

    Post by wuzfuz Fri May 21, 2010 9:48 pm

    With apologies to Joyce Kilmer's "TREES".

    My wife's name is Faye,and so it be
    But to family and me, she was just FIFI
    I think that I will never see,
    A poem as prety, as my lovely Fi
    Though my vision is not what I'd prefer.
    That's the the way, I will always see her.

    Thanks for the kind words Willows. I love poetry but when it
    comes to writing my mind is usually blank. :)

    I look forward to reading more from you all and I must
    congratulate Glad on her lovely poems, such wonderful talent.

    My Love For Poetry - Page 2 Rain

    RAIN

    Way up yonder in the sky
    On a humid summer day
    While the earth was cracked and dry
    A welcomed rain came my way

    Oh to smell the scent of rain
    Coming down on hot dry soil
    All the splendor earth will gain
    For the sun has cooked her spoil

    Too bad a summer shower
    Comes and goes all to quickly
    Sure wish I had the power
    To make rain fall twice weekly

    A lovely poem Glad E Olah!
    I hope that you save it in your collection.

    Mine are scattered around....some on-line...some on bits and pieces of paper..and a few, in a little book. :|

    A lovely day it was today
    A few clouds in the sky at play
    Much like the background here
    A day that one can most revere
    Whispers of a gentle breeze
    Swaying grasses and the trees
    Today, I lounged, enjoyed it all
    Before we know it, 'twill be fall!

    Scattered clouds and a little coolish.
    But I have outside things to finish.
    I have a gazebo in my back yard,
    And though I find it very hard,
    It needs a a paint touch-up and I must find the time,
    To make some hay while the Sun doth shine.
    So I'll break all the rules, mix some old paint together,
    In order to help it survive in all kinds of our weather

    I like your poem wuzfuz.

    Here is my latest written last night:

    Three Men

    Three men in my memory
    All gone to another place
    Each holds a bond within my heart
    And grants a smile upon my face

    I shall see them once again
    When it comes my time to leave
    I'll tell them what they did miss
    Your love for them they believed

    In loving memory of my dad,
    the dad of my children and
    the dad of my grandson.

    Yesterday I learned of the passing ,
    Of a friendship that seemed everlasting.
    He has finally gone to meet his Lord,
    Where he will get his just reward.
    He was one fine man and, I will truly.
    Tell of his worth while giving a eulogy.
    So Thursday I'll be on my way,
    To say good by on a very sad day.
    At his request I will help carry his coffin
    To the grave he will lie in with the love of his life beside him

    Daddy, please don't look so sad,
    Mama please don't cry~
    "Cause I am in the arms of Jesus
    and He sings me lullabies."
    Please, try not to question God,
    Don't think he is unkind
    Don't think He sent me to you,
    and then He changed his mind.
    You see, I am a special child,
    and I'm needed up above
    I'm the special gift you gave Him,
    the product of your love.
    I'll always be there with you
    and watch the sky at night,
    Find the brightest star that's gleaming,
    That's my halo's brilliant light.
    You'll see me in the morning frost,
    that mists your window pane.
    That's me in the summer showers,
    I'll be dancing in the rain.
    When you feel a little breeze,
    from a gentle wind that blows
    That's me, I'll be there,
    planting a kiss on your nose.
    When you see a child playing,
    and your heart feels a little tug,
    That's me, I'll be there,
    giving your heart a hug.
    So Daddy, please don't look so sad,
    Mama don't your cry.
    I'm in the arms of Jesus
    and He sings me lullabies.

    (I turned the page on my desk calendar this morning and found this little poem.)

    The twilight hours, like birds, flew by,
    As lightly and as free;
    Ten thousand stars were in the sky,
    Ten thousand on the sea.

    - Amelia B. Welby, American poet (1819 - 1852)

    The calm after the storm
    I am happy and warm
    Another day of sunshine
    Enough to calm my mind

    Hope you are all having fun
    right now I have to run
    So much in my basket
    I dare not take a tasket.

    What do I do when the sun don't shine?
    My favorite thing is to go online.
    Brightens my day when I open my mail,
    And see all my friends who have sent me a tale.
    Then I do a crossword or two.
    Sure helps one from feeling blue

    KNOWLEDGE FROM THE FOREST

    Forest stands with trees so old
    Each a story to be told
    The timber’s vision of great awe
    An artist’s beauty there to draw
    A sight spectacular to each
    A knowledge that we all can reach
    If you could look inside each tree
    At history there for all to see
    Each circle formed deep within
    Tells the time they did begin
    Creator, the Father, from above
    Formed each tree with His great love
    One tree reflected good and bad
    Denied the life we could have had
    Too bad the first man disobeyed
    The stage for sin had now been laid
    God’s Son was nailed onto a tree
    He shed his blood for you and me
    All the world will soon be shown
    The tree of life to atone
    Look into God's word and see
    The history of that great tree

    Traded my bike for another today.
    Think that this one will be okay.
    With a 500 hundred pounder.
    I know this old rounder
    Will feel much sounder.
    Than with the 700 pounder
    I traded away
