Short and Sweet!

 (Autumn Leaves Throw Pillow by klgphoto)

     No worries about straining your eyes trying to read my long post this morning. ^_^ It's not that long today. It's just a quick one today because I've got a lot of stuff on my 'plate' to do...and no, I'm not talking about a big breakfast on my plate! ^_^ It's just a fried egg and some noodles. Keeping it light! :-]

      But I wanted to stop and let you know about an Etsy shop I found, one with a bunch of cute throw pillows. The pillow in the header photo is one of them. But there's some really cute ones! An autumn rose...a lighthouse...a city skyline...palm trees on the beach...and many more!

      Otherwise there's not much for me to talk about!....See!....short and sweet! :-) Except for maybe a pair of cute baby shoes...a poem...and a nap. ^_^

No Rhyme Or Reason

I've never written a poem
that didn't have a rolling rhyme.
In my head that's how I see words.
Rhyming lines come every time!

No matter what the subject,
'food', 'crochet', 'hubby's bike'.
In my mind I have to find
a word that sounds alike!

Have I written words on paper
without rhyming every word?!
Yes I have! About my father,
and my backyard hummingbird.

But when I think of poems
I can almost tap my feet...
as if music is now playing,
and I'm rhyming to a beat!

Is this every Poet's way?!
I don't know. I just know ME!
But if I wrote about it,
it would be a rhyming soliloquy!

Short And Sweet...And Thinking Elegant Thoughts!

      Okay...it's a facade! I'm not really feeling all that elegant this morning. What I'm feeling is anxious...and nervous! O_O The 'elegant' thing is my way of trying to move my mind past the reality of the medical tests I have to get done today! :-) So far it's working!

     So, my post is not gonna be a long drawn out one today...and stop clapping!! ^_^ I just need to sip elegantly on some green tea with lemon, and wrangle my mind to a state of calm, so that all the poking, prodding, and sticking that's about to happen won't seem so bad. :-) Can you feel my pain?! ^_^ If so, wanna take the tests for me?! LOL...I didn't think so!

Balance

You teeter totter, in the middle,
Lean a little, OOPS! You're off!
Now you know that you're not balanced,
and you hope the ground is soft.

It's not easy to achieve,
and once you have it, to maintain.
In almost every part of life
our balance is so hard to gain.

You have to balance your emotions,
how you eat, and how you spend.
And when you're balancing your checkbook,
try to keep a level grin.

Staying somewhere in the middle
takes a conscious, careful touch,
because it doesn't take a lot
to go from balanced to 'too much'!

So try to keep a balanced eye,
 a balanced plate, and balanced life.
Keep your feelings all in check,
and minimize the stress and strife.

And don't compare your sense of balance
 to your neighbor's...you're alone.
Because your neighbor's also trying
to get some balance of his own!
