APRIL and POETRY MONTH....Day 16

 

Well I fell asleep earlier last night. 

I hate when I toss and turn half the night away. 

Yesterday I enjoyed the wacky holidays.  They proved to be fun. 

Now Terry’s word yesterday was Hatching Eggs.  The piece I composed  came from my life.  There is a tree on our Amvets property that needs taken down. Unfortunately a bird made a nest and laid eggs.  Now until the younglings are gone from the nest can the tree be taken down. We all watch it daily to see what is happening.  

I down loaded a book of writing prompts. Well a few different ones. One book mentioned about a glass half full or empty. It triggered the first piece about people’s way of seeing things; same with the second piece.  

The grocery store where I go are still requiring masks.  So yesterday I put mine on, but did not have it pulled up as I was walking in the parking lot.  I had two people give me grief as I wasn’t wearing it correctly.  I’ve had this issue before but not for awhile. I told both people I’m outside and not inside.  I’ll pull it up when I get closer to where I’ll be entering store.  At the rehab where my husband is, they gave me one like those worn by staff when I went to visit. They did not like the one I was wearing. 

Well it’s Friday....day we wear our red to Remember Everyone Deployed.  

Until tomorrow....happy Friday and as always Stay Safe.

                   HALF or HALF 

The glass of wine is half-full 

Another may see it as half-empty

It’s the perspective of the one looking   

   looking at it 

Pessimistic's see things in a negative 

    light

Optimistic's view in a positive manner

Although I can see it both ways 

  it depends on my mood at the 

      moment

Right now I see a half empty glass of 

    wine

Like my life....not completely filled

  without you

National Poetry Month can be viewed    

    as half over 

The first fifteen days of reading, writing 

    and enjoying poetry has past....pessimistic individuals may have 

    that conclusion 

But optimistically...there are many more 

    days to enjoy

Many poems left to read....yet to be 

    written 

Poets to explore....fifteen days remain

A half month of celebrating poetry

   Let’s not waste a minute 

   🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣

                     THE TREE 

   Outside in the tree at the Amvets

      a bird made a nest 

Eggs have been laid 

Each day we all watch the bird fly from

  the nest....then return

All await for the eggs to hatch

  the babies to grow....take flight and 

         leave momma

The tree must be cut down eventually 

  but not while housing the bird family

     WACKY HOLIDAYS APRIL 15th

(National Glazed Spiral Ham Day; 

  National Rubber Eraser Day; World Art 

   Day and That Sucks Day)

It sucks that the eraser on my pencil

  gone

Can’t delete glazed spiral ham and two 

   other items from my grocery list

Scribbling out words on the paper

   looks like a work of art

Perhaps I should frame it
