A Quiet Joy
A Quiet Joy
Warmth
sweetness
a gentle breeze.
Spots of color
flower blooming
grass fresh.
Winter
a worn memory
summer –
a new promise
spring –
a quiet joy.

Looking For A Poem
Looking for a Poem
Sitting and writing
at the old computer
hoping the poem
will come out cuter.
I stare and look
at the window and wall
hoping an idea
will arrive before fall.
There’s so much to think about
so much to write
sometimes I get mixed up
or my brain’s too tight.
But soon comes a thought
I want to share
something I know
will make people care.
A little reminder
how great life can be
if we only take time,
open our eyes to see.

Just A Case Of Love And Hate
Just A Case Of Love And Hate
It’s just a case of love and hate
sometimes my computer is second rate.
You write a letter, now you feel better.
Read to send to a real good friend
a little click will do the trick.
Thought you would save
the computer didn’t behave.
the letter is lost, there is no cost.
It’s somewhere in space,
not a word, not a trace.
Where did it go, my letter to Jo?
It’s just a case of love and hate
my computer often makes me very irate.

Thankful Poem by Patricia Walter
Thankful
I am thankful for the many
blessings in my life.
Health, talent and wonderful friends.
A Spirit that surrounds me,
protects me, shows me the way.
I am truly thankful for the
wonderful world I live in
and the multitude of blessings
showered upon me.

A Glass of Water
A Glass of Water
A great big glass
of ice cold water
nothing else will do
please don’t bother.
It wets your whistle
quenches your thirst
nothing like water
it always comes first.
There’s milk and pop
coffee and tea
but only water
will do for me.
Lots of ice
in a big tall glass
that’s all I need,
that’s all I ask.
Others taste good
so nice and sweet
but when I thirst
water can’t be beat.

Dirty Clothes
Dirty Clothes
The clothes basket’s full again
you wonder if you’ll ever win.
You wash and dry, fold and stack
before you know it, the clothes are back.
Were do they go to get such dirt
those jeans and socks, the old plaid shirt?
The grime and grease, grass stains galore
you wash and dry, but there’s always more.
There’s magic in those dirty clothes
keep filling the basket – don’t smell like a rose!

Work
Work
Hope the day goes good
doing what you should.
No bumps in the road
no bad stories told.
A coffee break here
a lunch break there.
The old daily grind
with solutions to find.
Problems solved
not too involved.
Just working away
to get your pay.

Love & Kisses
Love & Kisses
Love and kisses
is all you misses
when you’re hard at work
it’s not a perk.
Just water cooler friends
your ear they bends
they talk and laugh
to fill the gap.
You’ll soon be home
so don’t feel alone
for love and kisses
from your own true Misses.

A Little Cold
A Little Cold
I hear you have a little cold
it really got you in the nod.
You cough and sneeze
it’s nothing to please.
you chill and fret
it makes you sweat.
So sleep and rest
do your best
when you conquer the beast
go have a feast.

Lunch
Lunch
Lunch was fun. A good friend
good food, no need to run.
The company nice. The waitress good
the bill the right price.
A place to talk, exchange some news
maybe time for a little walk.
Stories to share, cute jokes to tell
all by friends who really care.

A Friend Unseen
A Friend Unseen
(Dedicated to Internet Friends)
It’s strange to have a friend
that you have never hugged
lightly touched their arm
or looked into their eyes.
But you have
touched their soul
felt their heart
been embraced by
the warmth of their being.
A friend unseen
is not a friend untouched.
The eyes of the soul will gaze
the heart will embrace
the image will stand tall
but only in a dream.

A Little Greeting
A Little Greeting
Just a Hi
with no Good Bye.
Had to pop in
to see how you’ve been.
Same old grind
nothing on my mind.
A friendly little greeting
since we haven’t
been meeting.
