National Peanut Butter Lovers' Day

Peanut butter sandwich
With grape jelly makes a good lunch.

Happy Nation Peanut Butter Lovers Day,
Celebrate by having
A peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

I prefer grape jelly,
But my mother liked strawberry jelly,
Either one is good
On a peanut butter sandwich.

Prayer and Meditation: A Free Verse Poem

I prayer
My words and thought
Ascend to the throne of the Almighty.

I meditate
I communicate
With my immortal soul.

Thoughts on Women's History Month

Without women, the female of the human species, there would be no history. We are the mothers of the heroes and villains who created the history of humanity. We are not given the respect we are due. Without us, the human race would have died out long ago.

Women
Mothers of the species,
One of the wings of civilization
And humanity.

Girls become women,
Girls need an education
So that they can raise
Strong sons and daughters
To carry on the species.

March Morning in Las Vegas

Sun shining through clouds
In anticipation of spring
Neighborhood is silent
All the children in school
All the parents at work
Or sleeping in

Writing Mystic Poems: A Pi Poem

Writing mystic poems
Is
Not always difficult, if
You
Focus on both the form
And the theme. Chose a virtue for the subject.

Form: The Pi Poetry form is a six line with a word count of 3-1-4-1-5-9 to match the first six digits of Pi.

Ides of March: A Poem

Welcome to the Ides of March,
Which is also Dumbstruck Day
And Everything You Think is Wrong Day.

In Las Vegas
The weather is cloudy
And it looks like rainy day.

Beware the Ides of March
Because of the rain
And anything else that
Depression tells you to worry about.

Now that I've prayed
And begun to write
I'm feeling less depressed
And in a good mood.

Form: Freestyle with some rhyme.

World Poetry Day

The splendor of the season
Radiates across the Earth,
Spring in the Northern Hemisphere,
Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere,
Encouraging new poems
About the glory of the seasons.

F

ive Days Left in March

There are five days left in March,
Five days of weird March weather,
Five days until Poetry Writing Month
And unknown April weather.

I haven't checked the weather for April,
Because its either going to be hot or cold,
I like surprises,
So it doesn't matter to me what the weather
Forecast indicates.

I'm going to close now,
And check the heat
Because it is cold
In this apartment today.
