Re: Deb's Coffee Klatch-Off Topic Chat

Holly requested that I post her latest poem on her behalf.  She has trouble posting in a correct poetry format and wanted this to post in it's proper form.  I hope you enjoy it and it's beauty as much as I have.

 

Mtn Muse

 

 

Hope Floats

.

Floating amongs the glassy sea,

Reflecting the clouds and drifting ships,

Hope looks for ones in need,

Ones like you and me.

.

Floating upon the rising swell,

She looks for you and me,

I hide behind the waves,

Afraid to see, to hope, to open up.

.

When the water rolls on,

And I stand there alone,

She is still there,

Hope is floating beside me.

.

She warms the chilly air,

She fills the darkest voids,

She has found you,

And now me.

.

Together as new friends,

Together we can share,

Together we can dream,

Together we can hope,

Together and keep each other afloat,

As we wave off hope,

Watching her give as she floats.

 

 

Holly

Here's our thought for today by a founding father

 

“There are two ways to conquer
and enslave a nation.
One is by the sword.
The other is by debt.”

John Adams
(1735-1826)

 

and the pic of the day too

Happy Thursday

Re: Deb's Coffee Klatch-Off Topic Chat

Amid the myriad things I need to do today, I took time to grab another cup of coffee and stop into your coffee klatch, Deb.  I'm so glad I did.  I read Holly's poem and then lost myself for just a moment in the Thursday pic. 

 

Caffeine, Hope, Tranquility, and Inspiration--I'm ready to get back to work now.

Re: Deb's Coffee Klatch-Off Topic Chat

A Poem by GS2991,

 

-Kitty Trails-

 

The kitty stalks,

the kitty walks,

upon the trail,

the trail to home.

 

A fluter of feathers,

a twitch of an ear,

a lucky pounce,

the kitty has dinner.

 

A russle of leaves,

a flick of a tail,

a swipe of a paw,

the kitty has a fury toy.

 

A ring of a bell,

a sprint along the trail,

the kitty comes home,

for a bowl of warm milk.

 

---- Holly
