Picnic

A Poets Corner Posted on by

Picnic Pack up the kids, the stuff and the dog off to the park, out of the smog. A place for a party and a little meal really doesn't need to be a great big deal. A little fried chicken, some chips and slaw make it at home, no restaurant to call. Maybe some hot dogs cooked on a stick they taste so good, always do the trick. Add some mustard, nestled on a bun the kind of food you can eat on the run. A little game of catch, a swim in the lake a lot of fun, nothing to fake. A picnic is great, an outing for the day Dad naps in the hammock, not even a sway. It's better than a trip to shop at the mall a really good time will be had by all.

Picnic

Pack up the kids, the stuff and the dog
off to the park, out of the smog.
A place for a party and a little meal
really doesn’t need to be a great big deal.
A little fried chicken, some chips and slaw
make it at home, no restaurant to call.
Maybe some hot dogs cooked on a stick
they taste so good, always do the trick.
Add some mustard, nestled on a bun
the kind of food you can eat on the run.
A little game of catch, a swim in the lake
a lot of fun, nothing … Read the rest

The Storm

A Poets Corner Posted on by

The Storm The sun was shining - just a minute ago. Now the clouds move in - handing low. There's a flash in the sky - a clap of thunder you look at each other - start to wonder. The windk picks up - the trees start to rustle you gather your goodies - start to hustle. Hoping to beat the rain on the way nothing more to do - nothing more to say. You run for cover - hoping to keep dry the storm is faster - drops buckets from the sy. Laughing and Joking - soaked by the rain fun was had by all - reall no pain.

The Storm

The sun was shining – just a minute ago.
Now the clouds move in – hanging low.
There’s a flash in the sky – a clap of thunder
you look at each other – start to wonder.
The wind picks up – the trees start to rustle
you gather your goodies – start to hustle.
Hoping to beat the rain on the way
nothing more to do – nothing more to say.
You run for cover – hoping to keep dry
the storm is faster – drops buckets from the sky.
Laughing and joking – soaked by the … Read the rest

Celebrate

Celebrate a new life
each and every day
put the past behind you
clear your mind, make way.
There are lessons to learn
memories to hold
the future waits
beckoning so bold.
To stand in one place
not dealing with fear
life goes stale
nothing to cheer.
Start each day
open heart, open mind.
Make life a challenge
not just a grind.

An Idea

A Poets Corner Posted on by

An Idea I have great fun, writing on the run. An idea flashes by, who knows why? I write a few lines then add a few rhymes. A story will be told, a lesson will unfold. Add a grin and a smile, folks will read for awhile. Ponder a thought, wonder why give them courage to go out and try. Ideas from the heart, thoughts from the mind encouragement and help for folks to find. Poetry & Art by Patricia Walter 2000 ©

An Idea

I have great fun, writing on the run.
An idea flashes by, who knows why?
I write a few lines then add a few rhymes.
A story will be told, a lesson will unfold.
Add a grin and a smile, folks will read for awhile.
Ponder a thought, wonder why
give them courage to go out and try.
Ideas from the heart, thoughts from the mind
encouragement and help for folks to find.

I Like to Sing, I Like to Hum

A Poets Corner Posted on by

I Like to Sing, I Like to Hum Sometimes I sing, sometimes I hum people say - I've been in the rum. I like to laugh, I like to grin people think I was drinking again. I tell a story or tell a joke all I had was a nice cold Coke. The happiness and joy I like to display is just because I'm made that way. I don't need a drink to give happiness a start all I need lives right in my heart. Poetry & Art by Patricia Walter 2000 ©I Like to Sing, I Like to Hum

Sometimes I sing, sometimes I hum
people say – I’ve been in the rum.
I like to laugh, I like to grin
people think I was drinking again.
I tell a story or tell a joke
all I had was a nice cold Coke.
The happiness and joy I like to display
is just because I’m made that way.
I don’t need a drink to give happiness a start
all I need lives right in my heart.

The Job Interview

A Poets Corner Posted on by

The Job Interview

Only time will tell
if I do swell.
I’ll sweat and wait
try to anticipate.
Look happy and bright
want to do right.
Answer questions right quick
hope the answers will click.
My experience is good
I better knock on wood.
The job will be mine
I hope it’s divine!

Should I Work?

A Poets Corner Posted on by

Should I Work? I'm really in a rut and feeling blue maybe I need a job, just like you. Get up a 6, take a shower and eat get ready for work, I'm already beat. Hop in the car, hurry and wait feel like a race horse, dancing at the gate. Finally get to work, arriving too late my c-workers stare, I think I'm bait. Make it till 10, then take a little break here some the boss, can I stay a little late? Of course I can, put a smile on y face I know what to do, I know my place. A typcial day, a few bucks earned I feel like butter, that's already churned. Take home my check, the pittance that's left I feel like I'm robbed, surely it's grand theft. So maybe I'll stay home and not feel so blue I don't want this story to ever come true.

Should I Work?

I’m really in a rut and feeling blue
maybe I need a job, just like you.
Get up a 6, take a shower and eat

Make it till 10, then take a little break
here comes the boss, can I stay a little late?
Of course I can, put a smile on my face
I know what to do, I … Read the rest

All Windows – No Doors

A Poets Corner Posted on by

All Windows - No Doors All windows, no doors. too many people look out never invite love to come in. Theyy gather together a meaningless mass sharing their beautiful shapes. Only images can be seen frames of cold steel, panes of glass. Where are the doors? Are they bolted and locked closed by fear and hate? The curtains are drawn only reflections are seen. No way to enter all windows, no doors. Poetry & Art by Patricia Walter 2000

All Windows – No Doors

All windows, no doors.
too many people look out
never invite love to come in.
They gather together
a meaningless mass
sharing their beautiful shapes.
Only images can be seen
frames of cold steel, panes of glass.
Where are the doors?
Are they bolted and locked
closed by fear and hate?
The curtains are drawn
only reflections are seen.
No way to enter
all windows, no doors.

Looking For A Poem

A Poets Corner Posted on by

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.

Work

A Poets Corner Posted on by

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 you pay. Poetry by Patricia Walter 2000 ©

Hope the day goes good
doing what you should.
No bumps in the road
no bad stories told.
A coffee break here

The old daily grind
with solutions to find.
Problems solved
not too involved.
Just working away
to get your pay.

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. Poetry & Art by Patricia Walter 2000 ©

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.

A Real Nice Day

A Poets Corner Posted on by

A real nice day to idle time away. Soft blue skies offer no disguise. A gentle breeze to do as you please. Friendly warm sun no reason to run. fields of grass nothing moving fast. A real nice day things going my way. Poetry & Art by Patricia Walter ©

A Real Nice Day

A real nice day
to idle time away.
Soft blue skies
offer no disguise.
A gentle breeze
to do as you please.
Friendly warm sun
no reason to run.
fields of grass
nothing moving fast.
A real nice day
things going my way.
