Test Post #20






  
Well, I suppose Writer's Pages are supposed to disclose something of oneself, so here's what you may or may not know of me:
1.  I am wooed by intelligent, witty and warm people.
 2.  I have a tendency to ramble.    
3.  I am   and 
4.  I keep a special place in my for animals always...  
5.  I am honest, goofy and sincere--So believe me if I tell you there's a booger
             hanging from your nose!
 6.  I have zero-tolerance for gossips, liars, losers, stalkers, cheaters and plagiarists.
7,  I believe life really IS too short to sweat the small stuff!
 8.    I still believe in Santa Claus! 
9.       I  believe seeing is believing!
10.   I ♥  ...Especially July--(IT'S VACATION TIME)!!!
11.   I ♥ HAIKU!  If you're a haiku-writer, leave me a link!
12.   And last but not least...I like what I am, what I do.
 
Peace and poems--(and 's too),
Jo

                                   But conscience asks the question--IS IT RIGHT?"     
 --Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Learn what you are and be such."--Anonymous

"Poetry is a way of life, a way of seeing things, of getting through or to things, capitalizing things, and making things beautiful.  Taking the mundane and making it magic."--John Tuschen/Poet Laureate, Madison, WI--(1977 to 2000)

 

(I miss you and think of you often, Tuschen...)

PERCEPTONS

Crossing the sky

five birds on the wing
An omen of winter...

 

and the last one drifted

to ground.

 

Drawing nearer

I realized 

 

it was only a leaf 

and never could it be

one of five birds.

from the garden--

old frog yawns

another spring--

not yet a prince



in the mirror 

the moon also

blushing

 

in the mirror

the blushing glow

of the moon 

 

postman rings--
sound of the dog

not barking

 

 

heatwave--

the cool inside

watermelon 

 

 



curled
at the hearth--
the fire purrs
