Here are revised lyrics for the song. The song is on my page

Let Sleeping Icons Lie

Chocolate milkshake
Homemade by an eight-year-old.
I'll clean the kitchen.

So far behind now.
Running hard to stay even.
White rabbit and me.

21 Century Sane

I do find myself loving technology, but savoring old fashioned pleasures like real face time with friends, hand written letters, and the like.

Sometime I feel like we ( I will speak for myself) have just accepted the madness of these times as normal. I decided it is the new 21st Century sane.

Up for collaboration if someone comes up with music

Lyrics:

The New 21st Century Sane



I’m a canary and I like to tweet

But I shy away from twittering

I’ll throw…

A moment of time
Compressed into a haiku.
A photograph in words.

There's a lot of snow.
People go and don't come back.
Sometimes death wears white.

Flip-flops put away,
Fuzzy slippers on my feet.
Really cold floors now.

Song assignment to write from perspective of inanimate object

Let me know if you figure it out.

Don't have a clue about music for it. Maybe spoken word funk....hmmmmm, I'm thinking Stephen :-)

That being said, here it is

Excuse any sexist implication. This was done in fun!

Being Number 2



Ouch! Quit pushing. Do you think that I’ll work faster?

Hey! Lighten up. Can’t you just go with the flow?

Bungle! I’ll clean it. Don’t mind helping you communicate

Sometimes I think that you don’t know which way…

People laugh at me
Just because I talk to them.
Stand-up comedy!

Yellow lightning flash.
Happy barking and running.
Look! Squirrel! Squirrel!

I do not like her.
This woman yells at her kids.
Angry is not me.

Wires, tubes and machines
Surround her small still body.
Let my baby live!

Spark, ignition, flame
Consuming tinder, twigs, logs.
Beating back winter.

The Essence of Humanity

I peruse my books of quotations each morning for something inspirational to post on Facebook. Today I came across a quotation that lingered in my splintered subconscious all day and demanded further consideration. The quote is by Norman Cousins. "Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live." I suppose he could have been referring to desire, ideas, motivation, love, hope and compassion, just to name a few. But I have found that when one desire… Continue

Spring Frills

Bluebonnets Pictures, Images and Photos

Something thrilling will happen soon and it has to do with nature intoxicating us once again with her charms. Right now old man winter has his white woolly blanket thrown over landscape's bed but hang on tight and a fresh morning will soon arrive.



Covers will be flung back, the bed sun-warmed. And then, popping through a steamy mattress of soil will be vibrant pink and yellow ruffled tulips and perfumed roses and multi-colored…
