Bye-Bye 2008





Shake it up

breastbone's
wish for passion
glimmers in the embers
flame rises for the hottest year
...rebirth

♥ ♥

ThomG at Three Word Wednesday offers these words as prompt: passion, glimmer, wish.

The poem is probably a cinquain.

Hoping 2009 brings fuel for your fire!!

Watch! It's Coming 'Round Again!



Skittles at Heads or Tails prompts with 'Watch'.
**

Resolution Re-run

New years by the score
have left me in doubt
as what more to leave out.
I gave up hard spirits,
tobacco and speeding,
soaped out my mouth
and even stopped fibbing.
I once gave up slouching
and dating bad men,
ran from intolerance
to pose on the fence.
I’m not pure lily white
but surely modest and mild.
I’ve come full circle
which is rather odd
so this year I resolve
to resume smokes and gin,
to step up my pace,
and regain ten pounds
while practicing road rage
and lewd finger waves.

A Pleasurable, Prosperous and Peaceful 2009 to You!

Stardust Haiku





Pleiades needle
in and out among hoodoos
stitching sky lines

fence free
garden of cosmos
star spangled sky

I believe


...that we might be on the right track although there will undoubtedly be several derailments before the next destination comes into view.

Thankful that this current train wreck can be fixed, if by no other means than belief, works for me. Negativity surely won't pull this train out of the station and I believe, kind of, that media, pundits and beasties will grow up and offload a bit of the nastiness so prevalent in this past decade.

I believe that stirring minds and mapping new ideas will foster belief and create a new track which will straighten as we go and will remain in place without a need to reshuffle the ties.

I believe that positive outlooks can last throughout the year.

Probably.

I want to believe, you know.

Happy and Prosperous 2009 to each of you!

I believe... is the prompt issued by Sunday Scribblings. A great meme with a weekly prompt - be sure to visit and play along!
