I am a writer. I write on and off. There were a great many years after I was
married that I wrote nothing. I simply didn't have the time or inspiration.
Now I do. I am writing again. I will post some of my poems at the end. Was
trying to post them here but they are not displaying properly. Probably due
to different versions of Word. I will pick short ones. The one about Baklava
won the USA Today Haiku contest.

I did post of my now ex husband stopping for Pho on the way home without
telling me. But you seemed to think this was an every day occurrence. He's
my ex. There are reasons he's my ex. Not going to get into that here.

It's not me twisting things Dave.

ALL IS NEW



Let us regale in laughter.

Savor the colors of the world.

Permeate our senses with texture.

Breathe in all the aromas of life.

There are no boundaries.



CAT



Tail flicking, she waits.

Butterfly try, fly away!

One pounce, one gulp, gone!



Crispy



Thin and frangible

Crispy shards tickle the tongue

Luscious Baklava.



EUPHONY



Your voice sends shivers up my spine;

so soft, so calm, and deep.

Words flow with a smooth sexiness.

So tell me a story, and I shall recline,

and luxuriate.







GOLDEN ORB



Why do you tease me this way?

I have wanted to see your for days;

And when I finally see your smiling face,

I am overcome with joy.

I bare my body and anoint it with oil.

My skin glisten in your rays.

I nestle in the damp earth,

Among the sweet clovers and buttercups,

Longing to feel your warm embrace.

You touch me for a brief moment,

But then youre gone.

I am left shivering in the cool breeze,

Under a cloudy sky,

With the threat of raindrops.

==

They are lovely You are being very brave posting them here though You
know what you will get (

If I am was not currently writing, I would say that I wasn't a writer. When
I am currently writing, then I am. I am currently writing. Am considering
finishing a novel that I started years ago. Currently have many stories and
poems online. I do not use my real name on that website. And I will not tell
you where that is. But here's another poem for you. I'll pick a longer one
this time. Sorry I can't get them to display properly with copy and paste.

STORYTELLER



He wears a mask upon his face.

To hide the sadness with no trace.

But I can sense it in his eyes,

Their sparkle gone, they tell no lies.

And I can see inside his soul

Where sorrow has taken its bitter toll.

His words seem tinged with innuendo

As from feigned lips do they flow

Like the trickling of a waterfall

From newly melted snow.

So I too, the mask shall wear

While I listen and pretend to care.

Hell not stay long, Im just a pawn;

And one of many hell try to con.

That was excellent, but don't expect many here to have the brains to

Yes it is! Here's a nice poem for you. And if anyone wants me to write one
for them on the fly, just ask and I will.



TRANQUILITY



I want to walk down endless
stretches of beach,

run into the tide,
tempting it to wet my feet.

Each time the waves retreat, new
treasures are left behind

waiting to be found.

I lie on the sun bleached
driftwood

beneath the salt air.

The warm sun beats down
through cold wind.

I know that all is right
with the world.

Yes, please I would love one)

Oh? You seem not to like beans, cold foods or canned peas. Can you explain
that?

Oh wait! It's okay when it's you. Let me write you a poem,

McBiddy

She lives in a house that her parents owned.
I believe she likes her chicken to be boned.
Don't give her a salad. For they are cold.
She doesn't like them. That's what we were told.
Peas from the freezer are mighty fine!
Those little green orbs that grow on a vine.
They do come in cans all soft and yummy.
Ah but those things will never hit her tummy.
Not even the kind that Sheldon prefers.
They might be in his cupboard but never in hers.
No signal on her island. No cell phone has she.
In some ways she lives like it's 1983.
She likes to read books and hang out with her cat.
For living on Dataw, that's where it's at.
Does she like to go to visit the club?
No, in fact she pokes fun at their grub.
Grocery store ads are new-fangled and weird.
When they come in the mailbox, I think she's afeard.
She posted a pic where she seemed to have no hair.
Said she was at a picnic. I don't really care.
Picnics have cold food. Am sure she turned up her nose.
Her likes and dislikes on us she'll impose.
And now I shall leave you with a psychology fact.
It's really quite simple. Not at all abstract.
When things about others are things we dislike...
It's often because we are so very alike.
It's a trait in you that you can't stand.
But you see it in me! Now isn't that grand?

I probably have the brains to understand it, but I consider poetry to
largely be useless, self-indulgent mental masturbation.

Okay. Here goes.

Ophelia

Ophelia is her name.
And cooking is her game.
Swiss chard is not her thing.
But it makes her husband sing!
She's not fond of hot spice.
But mild seasonings are very nice.
Her adversary's name is Janet.
I imagine Janet looks like a gannet.
At least I know she is a bird.
Slang for a female, that's the word.
Ophelia rules with fowl or fish.
I'm not sure what's her favorite dish.
Her husband likes bread of corn flour.
I think it enhances his brain power.
A smart man is he to have wed her.
I'm sure most here will certainly concur.
For she does make such lovely meals.
Everything she makes really appeals.
Yes, Ophelia is just ever so fine.
And at her table, I'd like to dine!

Yes, Yes I do.

My Gardener

He's younger than me and ever so sweet.
Sometimes he's a little clumsy on his feet.
But that's fine with me as he works very hard.
Both inside the house and out in the yard.
He planted a tree and bushes too.
There's nary a thing he will not do.
He fixed the lights in the laundry room.
He swept my deck off with a broom.
Earlier he mopped the kitchen floor.
He installed a new knob on the door.
The kitchen door got fixed as well.
Oh yes, my gardener is very swell!
My sliding door? Well, now it locks.
Scrawny is he but strong as an ox.
He hauled away crap my ex behind.
It was a lot of work, but he didn't mind.
He cleaned the weeds from the fire pit.
Even in the dark, he will not quit.
He somehow fixed the washing machine.
So now our clothes are nice and clean.
He tells me jokes and makes me grin.
I feel like he's my next of kin.
He loves my muffins made of corn.
He eats the leftovers in the morn.
My soup of beans he does adore.
I make plenty as he will want more.
He likes to eat nutty brown rice,
And tells me my cooking is really nice.
Boston Terrier is the breed of his pup.
He's a good little guy and never acts up.
I'm very happy to have them here.
For both of them are really quite dear.
Those who say bad things are full of hate.
They're trying to get me to take their bait.
Or maybe they're jealous. I do not know.
But they really put on a drama show.
I couldn't ask for a better worker.
One thing he isn't, is a duty shirker.
I see nothing but good times ahead.
But it's getting late so I'm going to bed!

I guess she doesn't like songs with words in them either because that's
essentially poetry.

You are correct. I prefer instrumental music, preferably Mozart or earlier..

Rameau harpsichord music is the sound of synapses firing.

Oh hell yeah. After all the time Jill has spent picking on Julie,
she did deserve that one. LOL.

To define a good writer.....you start reading what they wrote and
it's entertaining so you don't want to stop. That was a very good
work from Julie. Hey Mikey! She CAN write well.

Very nice Julie!

Yes. You did say that you were a writer. However, when confronted about
being a writer who did not know the meaning of the word "ignorant" you
said that you were not a writer and denied ever having said you were. As
it turned out, there were several posts where you had said it. So you
were either lying when you said that you were a writer or you were lying
when you said you weren't. Which of those opposing claims is the lie?

Nobody really cares. The guy probably considers himself lucky to be an
ex. Some of us remember your complaints. Maybe you lied about the number
of times he stopped. Maybe you are lying when you say it was only the
one time. Your credibility factor is bouncing on zero.


BTW... you said that I have told many lies. I invited you to give
examples of me lying. You failed again.

Funny how so many other people remember you making claims that you later
deny.

Quoting from you post from about 10 minutes earlier:

You hired a psychic but you didn't pay him.

Yes, Yes I do.

My Gardener

He's younger than me and ever so sweet.
Sometimes he's a little clumsy on his feet.
But that's fine with me as he works very hard.
Both inside the house and out in the yard.
He planted a tree and bushes too.
There's nary a thing he will not do.
He fixed the lights in the laundry room.
He swept my deck off with a broom.
Earlier he mopped the kitchen floor.
He installed a new knob on the door.
The kitchen door got fixed as well.
Oh yes, my gardener is very swell!
My sliding door? Well, now it locks.
Scrawny is he but strong as an ox.
He hauled away crap my ex behind.
It was a lot of work, but he didn't mind.
He cleaned the weeds from the fire pit.
Even in the dark, he will not quit.
He somehow fixed the washing machine.
So now our clothes are nice and clean.
He tells me jokes and makes me grin.
I feel like he's my next of kin.
He loves my muffins made of corn.
He eats the leftovers in the morn.
My soup of beans he does adore.
I make plenty as he will want more.
He likes to eat nutty brown rice,
And tells me my cooking is really nice.
Boston Terrier is the breed of his pup.
He's a good little guy and never acts up.
I'm very happy to have them here.
For both of them are really quite dear.
Those who say bad things are full of hate.
They're trying to get me to take their bait.
Or maybe they're jealous. I do not know.
But they really put on a drama show.
I couldn't ask for a better worker.
One thing he isn't, is a duty shirker.
I see nothing but good times ahead.
But it's getting late so I'm going to bed!

LOL love it))) It is wonderful to know it is all working out so well for
you)

Some of us can even remember last month, when Julie said she didn't
want her gardener talked about on rfc because she'd hate him to find it.

She didn't know what syllables are, so she counted longer words as one
syllable.

When that error was pointed out to her, first of all she pretended
that she was using some "different" form of haiku; before admitting he
had "forgotten" the form of a haiku.
Which she still doesn't know.

That makes sense, because you only use the left side of your brain.

Yes, I have seen this. Some folks have a problem with being saddled with memories from the past. It holds them firmly still with stupid, petty, little snippets of things unforgotten which prevents them from moving into the future and reduces their options in life. It's a terrible anchor to bear.

Your recipe sounds interesting. If I find myself with a can of biscuits, I will try it.

I don't hang on your every word but you did twist mine when you implied that
my ex never came home for dinner.

That's not what I said. You people were making up lies about him. Claiming
he was married. He's not. And posting disgusting things.

It was a woman and I paid her. The man I didn't pay was Jim. I didn't pay
him because he could not come out here to physically look. Reason being, he
didn't have access to neighbor's back yards because they were not there to
give him permission.

I didn't pretend it was different. Haiku is not something I write a lot of
so I had forgotten the form. What I wrote was still poetry though.
