ANIMAL’S GREETINGS

Hello my friends

It’s been another wintery week gone by,
but we did have a day of 45 F degrees 🙂
and it rained which then presented a new
problem when the temperature went back
to normal. The rainwater froze leaving us
a skating rink for a driveway LOL. Even
using my cleats it’s hard to walk out to
check the mail. I had to walk on the edge
where there was a bit a frozen snow to
make it to the mailbox and back safely. I
did though end up on my back when I was
walking into the porch and my cleats hung
the bottom of the doorway and did not
let loose LOL. My lower back feels like
I was kicked by a horse. Oh well, that’s
life hahaha. Hehehe you should of seen
the boys on the ice. Benny and Rocky
were sliding all over the place. Rocky’s
little legs kept sliding as he wanted to
come and see me. He made it after a
bit of a struggle. LOL I think Benny’s
learned how to ice skate. I’m sure that
our landlord will do as he always has and
send someone out to spread some dirt
onto our driveway. We’re expecting a
little snow this evening and then more
come Wednesday 🙂 It’s 30 F degrees as
of this very moment, but supposed to be
6 F degrees by morning and then a high
of 11 F degrees for Monday. Yep, it’s
getting back to normal hehehe. I’m not
quite myself today. My allergies have
literally kicked my butt. They’re a bit
worse than normal, but I’m reasonably
sure it will pass. LOL I think I may of
sneezed my brain out. It is real hard to
think right now, but I think I’ll manage.
We went this passed week and got the
boys their new dog tags (registered) 🙂
They’re good for yet another year now.
As a matter of fact I just stopped with
my writing and Judy and I put their
new tags on them. I had to go out
early last week and dig out our mail
box so that the mailman can get to it.
I may have to do that again soon LOL.
The poor mailbox has been pummeled
by the snow that comes off of the snow
plows when they pass by. LOL That’s
life up in the northeast 🙂 I’ve gotten
quite a few awesome pictures to put in
my stationery this week. We had to
make our way to our landlords house
with our car on an almost flat tire and
thankfully he had an air compressor.
We then drove to town to have the tire
checked for leaks, but they checked
and found no leaks and said that the
weather was the cause of it losing its
air. It might have been getting low
and I just didn’t notice it, but when
I dug the car out last Monday I got a
surprise as I then noticed that it was
almost flat. No matter, it’s fixed now.
I guess I’ll pay closer attention to the
tires from now on LOL. Thankfully
God is still keeping an eye on us as is
the many angels that watch over us 🙂
Yep, Judy and I feel very blessed. We
have all that we need and even a few
of our wants have been sufficed. Life
is good. I think it’s now time for me
to be taking a trip back through all of
my rambling to see if I can find me a
good word or phrase that will work
for the title for today’s brand new
poem. So it’s away I go to that little
place of my recollection that I always
like to call RECOLLECT VILLE 🙂
I think I found a decent title that to
my surprise I have not used as of yet,
so used it shall be today. Here goes…

Thankfully

Wishes and wants
of each times desire
brings forth a view
of a raging fire.
Burning churning
things we see
wants we’re wanting
through history.
We often will find
a window view
something enticing
we wish for anew.
As the days pass us
time moves along
as God gives what
will help us be strong.
Yet as some struggle
with a wanting array
God is still God
the same as yesterday.
He so thankfully
forgives when we sin
as the blood of Jesus
does time and again.
Allow for His love
to help you to see
that He’s in control
of what that will be.
Time is an ocean
with waves that unite
and give us thankfully
chance to make right.

I hope you liked the poem and it maybe
even gave you some peace. I also hope
you enjoyed all of my rambling hehehe.
It’s amazing how much I can always dig
up to ramble about LOL. I checked the
TV schedule just a bit ago and it seems
America Ninja Warriors is new tonight,
so that’s what we’ll be watching 2 hours
of LOL. Then we might just watch a few
game shows on GSN 🙂 So that’s about
all I have for you other than what I tell
you every week and that is, I wrote a
few more poems and haiku. Yeppers,
10 more poems with 2 of them being a
bit Christmassy. I also wrote 22 more
haiku for all of the haiku lovers out
there 🙂 I hope you can find 1 or 2 of
either or both that you like. Now I do
believe it’s time for me to be searching
for that ornery hardly allusive off switch,
but not before I wish you a blessings
filled week. Remember, Jesus loves
you and we do too. Now where can
that ornery contraption be hiding at
this time? Hmmm, I don’t remember
having a salt shaker that danced hehehe.
What on Earth are you doing? Were
you in need of a dancing partner LOL?
Gotcha, see ya click zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

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

A Passing Ship

Summer’s days
within the seas
show the signs
of season’s breeze.
The signs of life
as passing flings
as a passing ship
in seasons scenes.
Opening wide
as doors of time
a passing ship
displays its mind.
Speaking words
of its desires
a passing ship
of raging fires.
All of our wants
can turn to ash
changing needs
into our trash.
So sail the seas
of need and hope
and find within
a way to cope.
Just like a ship
in waters blue
you can change
your daily view.
Allowing truth
to be your stride
as a passing ship
with God inside.
Search for peace
as days go by
even when waves
are crashing high.
Blessings come
in turmoil’s grip
giving strength
as a passing ship.

Glassy Waters

It seems to shimmer
it seems to shine
as glass in a river
of time after time.
The water’s so clear
as surely it flows
pouring as a window
a moment bestows.
The same as within
our thinking arrays
searching grasping
wondrous displays.
Yet many handholds
do not belong
seeming as glassy,
but they’re so wrong.
Sometimes our views
are in disarray
seeing glassy waters
on a cloudy day.
Not seeing the truth
in waters that pour
we might find times
of a sinful allure.
Finding only good
in a wrongful path
can become Hell
in shadows we cast.
Take now the vision
much better for you
in the glassy waters
with truth to accrue.

Summer Flowers

Sunshine shining
bright to see
sets in motion
life for free.
The summer sun
displays a hue
a time to find a
wondrous view.
Summer flowers
show their style
with a little
summer smile.
Some sunflowers
might just bloom
sharing moments
times attune.
Life’s a window
opened wide
allowing flavors
to come inside.
Beginning sights
as spring arrives
summer flows
in many lives.
Summer flowers
start to dance
with the scenery
they enhance.
Yet in winter
it’s a dream
summer flowers
just a theme.

Places In Time

Minutes march onwards
as time might repeat
displaying Christmases
with winters receipt.
Those places in time
that we might recall
as a little country drive
that time did install.
We may remember
a little house on the way
in the places in time
of a Christmastime day.
You might even feel
the feeling once again
as a picture comes alive
with the magic within.
Living as a turnstile
breathing as a blessing
all those places are like
Thanksgiving dressing.
Tasty little morsels
of a passionate place
scented that of Christmas
with a wintertime taste.
We each have memories
that might come and go,
with some of sunshine
and some of snow.
Yet a mere photograph
will help to remind
of a Christmas of then
in the places in time.

Powdered Phase

Distant scenes
of a whitish glow
are powders of time
the essence of snow.
Living as crystals
gathered in white
powdery moments
oh such a sight.
Scented of winter
a Christmassy way
white snow compiles
an awesome display.
Time is a factor
of so many dreams
painted so Heavenly
wondrous cuisines.
I look upon it
as snowflakes fall
creating landscapes
with sights over all.
It’s as a pageantry
that comes into view
displaying blessings
for me and for you.
A white winter scene
becomes my desire
feeling up my mind
with more to acquire.
Sitting with pictures
of a powdered phase
brings then alive
those wonderful days.

Sometimes Skies

Evenings remembered
time becomes still
creating pictures
that moments fulfill.
The sometimes skies
are as changes in date
times that become
what many anticipate.
A snow laden ground
with a wintery theme
below sometimes skies
is a wonderful scene.
Time wafts in the air
as a flag in a breeze
as the sometimes skies
reshape all the trees.
Creating shadows
as a dormant display
as trees stand sleeping
in a wintertime’s day.
Christmas is awakened
as a time so divine
minutes ticking
inside of the mind.
These special moments
that seconds unveil
are just like a present
of a Christmas detail.
Sweet Heavens gifts
we see with our eyes
are times we remember
of the sometimes skies.

Crossing Bridges

Life’s encounters
come with chances
crossing bridges
to advances.
Though so distant
a bridge may seem
it gives pathways
from in between.
Time permitting
life goes around
creating moments
from up and down.
We might see times
of wintery whiles
with water flowing
in scenic styles.
Life can become
a learning path
if we cross wisely
not too fast.
Crossing bridges
to now and then
needs some patience
before you begin.
Allowing minutes
to show their pace
not just running
in a race.
Let ones guide you
that which know
what to do
and where to go.
So don’t hurry
what is not known
crossing bridges
all alone.
For some troubles
on distant ridges
await for many
crossing bridges.

New Days Begun

Each day we find
is a new to start
to give it our best
and take it to heart.
New in a phase
time moves along
days to be counted
right and of wrong.
We are as flowers
some for a day
lilies blooming
our own little way.
Each day begins
with anew to find
lifetimes within
a moment of mind.
Some last a while
and some are fast
to become as life
of a shadowy cast.
Each heart blooms
of a certain degree
as that of a flower
that many eyes see.
Yet many watching
only see a view
and never knowing
what’s really you.
There may be weeds
that live within
planted by many
that you let begin.
For as we struggle
with time after time
we also grow weeds
for others to find.
Yet as a doorway
to a new rising sun
there are chances
of new days begun.

Ghosts of Sky

A slight of time
a sky of blue
a time becomes
a wondrous view.
Drifting essence
time becomes
clouds above
in season’s sun.
The ghosts of sky
begin their phase
drifting shifting
through the days.
Mere reflections
become voice
of all the ghost
that times rejoice.
Floating boating
a sky of seas
the clouds display
a life of breeze.
With the minutes
that carry on
the ghosts of sky
are never gone.
Some days hazy
or hard to see,
but they’ve there
a slight degree.
So many seasons
fly on by
leaving memories
ghosts of sky.

Amidst The Leaves

Blessings of life
that times expose
might be as leaves
that seem as a rose.
All of God’s beauty
goes beyond the sky
hung within seasons
that time flies by.
Amidst the leaves
that seasons portray
time is as blessings
in a magical way.
God provides scenes
to carry us through
timeless designs
within thereunto.
We may see only
leaves of green,
but look closely
and find each scene.
The colors of time
that life unfolds
amidst the leaves
of young and old.
Look passed the view
that stands so tall
and find what’s there
that’s maybe so small.
For when magnified
a moment perceives
the God given beauty
amidst the leaves.

Haiku
for Jan 26, 2019

Desperate people
often move without thinking
and end with regret.

Shadows of ourselves
live in the people we’ve met
as their memories.

Today’s emotions
might look foolish tomorrow
as we then reflect.

The sky above us
can enhance dreams within us
if we will look up.

Seeking for slumber
as an escape from the truth
only postpones it.

Wintertime’s snowflakes
are as Heaven’s emotions
with crystallized dreams.

Links to our heartbeats
are as passionate flowers
if watered with love.

Time is but a thing
that so many lose track of
because they don’t care.

Various doorways
are but only window views
for us to look through.

Living in a dream
can become many nightmares
that the truth enhanced.

Seeking for the truth
you’ll come upon many lies
seeking to deceive.

Sharing a moment
can change your own perspective
as you bond your views.

Ignorance is bliss
unless you choose to not know
and then it is dumb.

A shower of rain
can wash away your sadness,
but yet leave you drenched.

Walking through darkness
you might discover your fears
or walk into things.

The light of a day
can find its way into night
as the moon reflects.

Beneath the starlight
holds many dreamers to dream
if they fall asleep.

Creating a breath
needs one firstly yet to breathe
and insert a breath.

Ones seeking glamour
might only find illusions
disguised as makeup.

Forgiveness is great,
for it enhances blessings
that others forgave.

Last place can be first
if the view is of lessons
learned from the journey.

Life brings surprises
we might not be ready for,
so open your eyes.
