When We Have Troubles » Animal's Greetings

ANIMAL’S GREETINGS

Hello my friends

It’s been a rough start to the new year, but
we’ve survived. LOL if it weren’t for problems
our life might become rather boring hehehe 🙂
Yeppers, we’re still waiting on York’s to get
the parts to fix our car door. In the mean time
we’re having to climb in through the passenger
side and open the drivers side door. At least
we can do that HaHaHa. It’d be a total pain in
the rump if we had to get in from the back seat
and reach up to open the doors LOL. Oops I
hope I haven’t jinxed us hehehe. The winter
days have not been too awful on us. We’ve had
a few days for the snow and ice to melt away
from our house, but there is still plenty of it out
there. I know that as it does every year, we will
have more snow to come before it is over with.
We used our wet/dry vac the other day on the
add on when it was warm enough for some of
the ice to melt. There was still quite a bit of ice
that was not yet ready to be thawed, but we
got a lot of it. Now if our landlord will ever
get over here and fix the leaks, we might be
able to begin thawing it with heaters, but not
until. So, off to yet another topic. Right now
at 5 PM it’s 6 F degrees. Judy is over at her
chair painting. Now she not only paints but
she does a bit of drawing with the art pencils
that I bought her. I’m still doing my picture
poems 🙂 Judy is even doing a few picture
poems ever so often. I don’t know how it is
that I got started doing them. Well OK, I
might have a bit of a clue hehehe. I did just
a couple of them years ago using Print Shop
Ensemble 3. They were not that great, but
I was just playing with it. Now of course I use
my Photoscape and it works so much better.
Plus with my weird ability to bond a poem to
a picture, it gives me something to do 🙂
At least if I’m doing picture poems, I’m not
pestering Judy LOL. The boys still pester
us no matter what we’re doing because they
want our undivided attention hehehe. They
are silly. I do go outside with them from
time to time and play and they love that 🙂
It seems that they have grown closer to me
due to all of the time that Judy has been
away helping her brother and all of her girls
nights out with her sisters and daughters
to do crafts. Yeppers, us boys have had a
lot of guy time here lately. Judy has been
home now, longer than she has in a while
and me and the boys are glad about that 🙂
This old house gets real quiet when Judy’s
not here. LOL for some reason Benny and
Rocky are fairly calm when it’s just me and
them. Hehehe I think they know who they
can bug to give them treats and it’s not me.
I do give them treats, but not as often as
Judy 🙂 We love our little boys and we can
tell that they love us. Plus they love one
another hehehe. They are lying side by side
right now in the floor. It’s so cute watching
them run. They will often run side by side
while bumping into each other. Our home
might not be that great, but there’s a lot
of love within it. Judy’s brother seems to
be doing better, but time will tell. Right
now it looks like he is headed back to the
nursing home, but a different one in another
location. It’s just a hit and miss to tell what
is going to happen. Please keep Ricky and
the rest of the family in your prayers. We
have no clue about the future and in most
cases I am glad about that. If we knew to
the detail what was going to happen in the
future, we might spend all of our waking
hours thinking about it and worrying about
the inevitable. I believe it’ better to live
one day at a time and deal with each day
as best that we are able. Then the future
will be as it should be. Well since I began
rambling, the temperature has dropped a
degree. Now it’s 5 F degrees 🙂 Tomorrow
the high is supposed to be 24 F and that’s
not too bad. Me and the boys might go out
and play 🙂 I made Judy and I pancakes
for breakfast today and made enough for
breakfast tomorrow as well, so I will not
have to cook breakfast tomorrow hehehe.
We’ll have to go to the grocery store one
day this week. We’re getting low on food.
LOL aren’t we exciting! Yeppers, we’re
one lively little family. I’m sure that God
has angels watching over us, helping us
when we need help. There are many signs
of it. When we have troubles, we seem to
always find answers. They might not be
the answers we wanted, but non the less
they are answers. Don’t let the trials of
life to become as barbells that weigh you
down. Let God and His angels to help you
lift those barbells. A little prayer can do
many things. Now, I believe it’s time for
me to be looking back on all that I have
written here to see if I can find me a good
word or phrase that I can use for the title
for today’s brand new poem. So, it’s away
I go to that place of my recollection that I
always like to call RECOLLECT VILLE.
I think I found a fairly decent title just a
few lines back. Now to see if I can do
anything with it. Here goes…

When We Have Troubles

Time is a meadow
where weeds might inlay
becoming as our struggles
with day after day.
Minutes might tick on
as time finds its course
to display all the answers
in a Heavenly force.
When we have troubles
those times might become
a doorway to worry
as an off beaten drum.
Pages of our journals
that are written in time
are often filled with weeds
of a worrisome kind.
When we have troubles
the thing we should do
is kneel down in prayer
and let God guide us through.

There ya go. I hope you liked the poem and
maybe even understood it. Also I hope you
enjoyed my rambling and it maybe even gave
you a smile. LOL it amazes me that I am able
to find so much to ramble about. Judy is now
doing a drawing of wine bottles. I found her
a picture for her to draw. The challenge this
week is wine bottles. It changes every week.
Her and I are in a little Paint Addicts group.
I of course very rarely paint or draw, but I
love seeing all of their artwork. I might one
day give painting another go, but for now I
think I’ll stick with writing poetry and whatnot.
There’s not much else to tell you other than
what I tell you almost every week and that
is, I wrote some more poems and haiku 🙂
Yeppers, 10 more poems with an added 6
due to the picture poems which most of them
are LOL. I try to write 1 or 2 poems without
pictures from time to time. It helps me to
keep my imagination stirred. I also wrote
22 more haiku for all of the haiku lovers
out there. I hope you can find maybe 1 or
2 of either or both that you like. LOL, it
is now 4 F degrees at 7 PM. So I guess
it’s time for me to begin my search for that
hardly elusive off switch, but not before
I wish you a most wonderful and blessed
week. Remember, Jesus loves you and
we do too. Now where in this room is that
off switch hiding this week or more to the
point loosely trying to hide LOL. Hmmm,
I think I see some movement from behind
my empty soda can. Oh for Heaven’s sake
couldn’t ya at least find a decent hiding spot
that doesn’t move every time you do LOL.
Gotcha, see ya CLICK zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

God bless from Bill, Judy, Benny, Rocky
and the spirit of Milo Pearce

P.S A link to our brand new book
Pearce’s Poetry Pictures
is at the end of the journal along
with all of the others. Enjoy 🙂

Now it’s on with the poems and haiku
10+6 and 22 hehehehehehehehehehe 🙂

Mountainscape

This scene in time
came into view
a mountainscape
with wondrous hue.
Mount Katahdin
with snow upon
this scene I see
while riding along.
Yet now it’s painted
a scenes delight
a mountainscape
with snow of white.
This scene in time
is a magical place
a wondrous view
of times embrace.
A moment painted
to then bestow
mountainous ridges
found with snow.
A time sublime
for minds escape
is now the view
a mountainscape.

A Hill Of Snow

White snow glistens
as our boy looks on
the scenes he sees
are far along.
A distant trail
of long ago
our little boy sees
a hill of snow.
As journeys start
and scenes begin
our little boy looks
beginning to end.
His four paws ready
to climb about
a hill of snow
without a doubt.
His little brother
is out there too,
but at the moment
he’s not in view.
The snow glimmers
shimmers and shines
a hill of snow
that our dog finds.

Benny and Rocky

A painted scene,
a wondrous hue
is of our dogs
not one but two.
They love to play
and run around
day and night
till they run down.
Benny and Rocky
are our two boys.
They love to play
with their dog toys.
This great scene’s
a wonderful while
of our two boys
with a little smile.

Old House Of Winter

As a journey begins
you might find a place
an old house of winter
with a scenic embrace.
A fireplace burning
as smoke billows high
soon to be engulfed
by the true blue sky.
It’s a winter scene
white snow’s procured
displayed as a moment
a photo allured.
The picture’s become as
a sweet memory
an old house of winter
my vision’s set free.
It seemed as a painting
a portion of time
scented as a blessing
and wondrous design.
An old house of winter
is a passionate gaze
found on a journey
of wintertime’s days.

Released From Winter

The sky seems to open
and unleash a while
found within moments
that winters compile.
A scene found released
so to become a view
of a magical essence
of a dream come true.
Released as a threshold
that opens its doors
to display all the beauty
that winter implores.
Wintertime’s scenery
displayed as white
found in the sunshine
and also at night.
Time becomes magnified
scenes front and center
displayed as a blessing
released from winter.

Peaceful Lake

A wondrous picture
painted true
becomes a scenic
awesome view.
Mountains display
their own path
painted in
a light contrast.
A peaceful lake
of bluish haze
a time and place
for future days.
A scene, a dream,
a painted while,
a peaceful lake
that is so mild.
Mountains dance
a wondrous sight,
a peaceful lake
in evenings light.

Dolphins Play

A passing voyage
to seas of depth.
Dolphins play
and then have rest.
Pelicans watch
as time goes by
while dolphins play
in evenings sky.
The waters waves
are gently seen
as dolphins play
just like a dream.
The pelicans flight
is stopped a while
to watch the dolphins
dance and smile.
The scene becomes
a mere memory
as the dolphins play
in the deep blue sea

Driving Through

As four wheels turn
and miles are made
a drive through time
is a serenade.
Scenes come alive
as wheels go around
while driving through
a sight and sound.
The wind is blowing
as moments display
with a mountain scene
on this distant day.
Written as a rumble
of tires that roll
driving through then
makes a story unfold.
White clouds forming
as a magical place
as the car rolls on
in a slow written pace.
The time is a moment
with a wonderful hue
found as a blessing
we’re driving through.

Seagulls Flying

Upon a shore
is found a sight
a certain someone
filled with fright.
They found a time
so misconstrued
to feed the seagulls
wanting food.
Seagulls flying
have no fear
to poop on whom
that is so near.
Even the feeder
that’s giving bread
seagulls flying
poop on their head.
This person soon
went running fast
from seagulls flying
shadows cast.

True Love In Disguise

Windows of a heart
often need a little shine
to give a better view
of a persons point and time.
Seasons of a moment
are as flowers that bloom
becoming as the beauty
for love to come in tune.
True love in disguise is
a version many miss
while they are thinking
it’s brought on by a kiss.
Many find their passion
in the things that they see
while true love in disguise
is a moment given free.
Blessings from Lord Jesus
are so often in the eyes
scented with a moment
that is true love in disguise.

Mountain Scene

A piece of art
that’s drawn so fine
is a mountain scene
of another time.
It could become
another place
within the artist’s
true embrace.
A mountain scene
that comes in view
drawn with love
that times ensue.
Penciled in
as thoughts unfold
this mountain scene
a story told.
It is a drawing
a piece of art
a mountain scene
that thoughts impart.

Mallards Flock

On a cold winter’s day
in a pond so precise
I saw some Mallards flock
into a pond full of ice.
These ducks of destination
may have just lost their way
or forgotten it was winter
and not the month of May.
They walked upon the ice
with web feet made to swim
as many quacked together
for some more to join in.
They hardly noticed me there
with my camera there in hand
snapping many photos
of them trying hard to stand.
The moment was enlightening
as I listened to them squawk
while others came in landing
to join the Mallards flock.

With Starry Eyes

Heartbeats glisten
pounding true
with the seasons
thereunto.
With starry eyes
a scenic place
becomes time
of sweet embrace.
As love begins
and shows its way
a starry sight
begins to sway.
Heavens window
gives a view
with starry eyes
of life anew.
God sends angels
all around
to help us up
when we fall down.
Life is often
in disguise
seen by ones
with starry eyes.

A February Memory

I found a photo
of long ago
a time and place
that had no snow.
A scene recorded
we could see
a February
memory.
This special place
so faraway
was state of mind
another day.
A time sublime
we can’t forget,
a place in time,
a bright sunset.
This photograph
of history
is a February
memory.

Time Begins

Paths are crossed
as time begins
with our lives
like violins.
Strumming tunes
of love and life
as time begins
husband and wife.
The seasons show
a pathway trod
as time begins
with help from God.
Doors will swing
another way
as time begins
a great display.
Two are joined
to become one
as time begins
with said and done.
Words are spoken
of true true love
bonded together
by God above.

Heaven’s Peace

A day with shadows
that minutes release
are hazy meadows of
Heaven’s peace.
The view is clouded,
but yet it is clear
Heaven’s peace
is truly sincere.
It comes with beauty,
it comes with love,
it comes as magic
of a snow white dove.
Heaven’s peace
is a wonderful view
found as a glimmer
of life found anew.
Seasons are seconds
with time moving on
while Heaven’s peace
is dusk unto dawn.
It is a mere journey
where troubles release
found in the shadows of
Heaven’s peace.

Haiku
for Jan 14, 2017

Heaven in the stars
holds our imagination
that often is real.

A journey of time
is a pathway of footsteps
imprinting our lives.

Indecisive thoughts
will create an avalanche
that could prevent life.

Amidst a storm cloud
holds a chance for a rainbow
to shine in its wake.

Life is a gamble,
but a sure thing is Jesus,
so give it to Him.

Seconds that we see
are often more important
than all the hours.

Building blocks of life
are the footsteps that we take
and things that we say.

Falling into holes
is a problem of many,
but we can climb out.

A flower will hide
behind blooms within itself
to allow it life.

Change is a moment
that needs action to be made
or there is no change.

A snowflake’s journey
is a predestined pathway
that changes in stride.

Counting the minutes
will guarantee your sadness,
for patience is key.

When walking alone
you are not really alone,
for God is with you.

Scenes that we have seen
become memories of life
our minds photograph.

Morning is coming
even if you’re not ready,
so start it with prayer.

Harboring sadness
will detain your happiness,
for there is no room.

Signatures of clouds
are as artist in the sky
creating pictures.

Beyond perfection
is the greatest imperfection
called humanity.

Temporal balance
is a change of perception
of how you view things.

A simple fragment
of time that becomes living
might be a shadow.

A heart that’s broken
can be healed with love and care,
but it will take time.

The flavors of life
are as personalities
that ones define us.
