Rainy Day

Day 30-Questad

Rainy Day
Playing drums on the roof
Sounding like a thousand people marching
And drums drumming down the driveway
Rat-a-tat. Rat-a-tat
The rain beats a staccato
Beating like a heart
Slowly changing rhythms as the storms moves away

Suicide.

Day 29-Wish Poem
Suicide

I wish I could help hurting despondent people understand
I wish they knew how much each soul is worth
I wish I could take away their pain
I wish they knew Christ did
I wish that they could see that their loved ones will hurt
I wish they could understand that there’s always a way out
I wish they knew that they are loved
I wish, I wish, I wish, they would choose to live.

To all the Heroes

Day 28-Hero Poem
We can all be a hero to ourselves
We can be a hero when we help another in any way
We can be a hero as we struggle through our trials, and we all have them
We can be a hero every day. Just a smile at people you meet
We can be a hero by helping others, which in turn helps us
We can be our own hero as we serve others and bless own own lives
So serve yourself be serving others
Be the hero in your own life

Poem in my Pocket

Day 26-Poem in My Pocket

I was at work at the Library yesterday and saw this book that intrigued me. WhileI was going through the book, a quote really rang true for me. That’s what I’m using today. The book is Staying Strong: 365 day’s a year” by Demi Lovato. 

June 6
Don’t cry because it’s over;
Smile because it happened. 
—-Dr. Seuss 

There will be times when something good comes to and end. Instead of thinking about the fact that it’s over—stay positive that it happened in the first place. I was so sad to return home after spending time in Africa with my friends and family. We were all crying when it was time to go—no one wanted to leave such an amazing place. I can look back now, though, without crying. I’m so thankful for my time spent there with people I love, and I can’t wait to go back. 

Goal: Think about a happy moment in your life and be grateful for the joy it gave you. Reflect on happy moments, even if they’ve passed. 


Demi Lovato

Earth Day

Day 25-Free Verse

This Earth of ours is so wonderful
There’s so much to be thankful for
But we need to take a lot better care
Of this planet we call home
So let’s all do our part
To reuse, recycle, and reduce
Then our children and grandchildren
Can enjoy the beauties of Earth

What if...

Day 24-What if.....I might Poems

What if I lived to be one hundred years old?

I might actually see a flying car made of gold

What if people only showed love to others?

I could live in peace with my brothers

What if unicorns were real?


I would believe in Magic with zeal.

Tweeting

Day 23-Poetweet

Why are people so obsessive? Their nature makes them that way./ Some people obsess over celebrities, others over things we say./ We all need to find some balance, so we can be happy each day./ Our lives will not be lonely, if we choose to let others in,/ Everyone needs to play./

Practicality

Day 22- Pleiades Poem

Practicality

Please explain to me why there’s a
Plethora of words to describe things meaning
Plenty of other things to give a
Poem you’re writing
Pizzazz and keeping the reader on his toes
Puzzling out what the writer meant and
Piquing their interest?

Utah in the Spring

Day 14~Senses Poem

Mountains are tall around me, stretching to the sky
Flowers are adding their scent to the air
Birds are chirping merrily from morning until night
Wind kisses my cheeks and make them rosy
Sweet berries, flavor bursting in my mouth
All of this makes me feel so happy to be alive

Scary Friday

Day 13-Hyperbole Poem

Friday the 13th is kind of scary
Lots of people believe so, even Fairies
The day can make you jump out of your skin
And that’s no joke if you’re kind of thin

So watch out for black cats and open ladders
Then you won’t run into any giant black adders
Don’t break any mirrors or seven years of bad luck
And you won’t win a gazillion bucks!!

This is Me

Day 11-Eleven Line Autobiographical Poem

Vicki
Loving, giving, thinking, living
Sibling of Dolly, David, Valerie, Jamie, Stephen, Karen, Kathy, Karleen, Kris, and Patty
Lover of Peter, music, art, nature, and family
Who feels a desire to live righteously
Who needs to make a difference 
Who gives her heart fully and wholeheartedly 
Who fears she isn’t doing enough
Who would like to see all people showing love to one another
A resident of Planet Earth

Ode to the Darth Vader

A Sonnet by dragonshelver

My Darth Vader, you inspire me to write.
How I love the way you fights and marches,
Invading my mind day and through the night,
Always dreaming about the tall arches.

Let me compare you to a dark buffet?
You are more intent and more glowering.
Stark breeze flaps the angry dancers of May,
And the springtime has the all scouring.

How do I love you? Let me count the ways.
I love your black breathing, helmet and voice.
Thinking of your blue helmet fills my days.
My love for you is the towering joice.

Now I must away with a shangri heart,
Remember my long words whilst we're apart.

Day 9-Nonet

When I was just a small child in school
I remember learning to read
Sometimes the rules were daunting
But it opened my eyes
Who would have guessed then
Where I would work
Libraries
Love them

It’s Wet Outside

Day 8-Octopoem

The sky today is almost white it’s so overcast
It’s Spring, but it’s a gloomy day
Our life is here in Utah
It’s rainy off and on
I’ll need to wear a raincoat
As we go to sit on a pew
Later we’ll probably watch Little Big Shots
After we have spaghetti with our son and grandsons

Nature is God’s Palette

Day 4-Nature Color Poem

The colors of Nature are God’s palette 
His use of each one so divinely wise
When I see a sunrise all gloriously colored
I’m reminded of a new baby’s eyes
They shine of His love for his children

And keep our hearts close to His side

Triplets

Right now I have granddaughters three
They are so precious to me
They make my heart go yippee!

The rest of our ten are all boys
And they too give me great joy
For what would we do without boys!!

(I want to add a third stanza in keeping with”triplets”)

I love my grandkids each one
They are all so incredibly fun

They’re the best and second to none.

Easter Joy

Day 2-Couplet

Because of Easter Morn on April First
The flowers all around us did burst

They are all a part of God’s loving plan
To remind us of the Eternal nature of man

Our lives will be beautiful and reconciled
For we are His, every man, woman and child

His death on the cross was for each of us
We need to show gratitude or we will be lost

Sunday, April 01, 2018

April Poetry This is Me

Yes, that’s me
Look and you’ll see
My hair may be grey now, but it’s still my crowning glory
My eyes are brand new and enjoying seeing clearly again the wonders of nature
My arms are full of strength and love for all I see
My hands don’t like being still when there’s so much to do
My heart is yearning for peace and love in the world
I’m happiest when my loved ones are near me
I never ever want to stop singing
My friends can depend on me
I live the best way I can
I hope I do enough
I dream of all my loved ones happy and joyful
It’s clear as can be
That’s positively, absolutely me!

Random Thoughts

Day 28-Random Thoughts


The community newspaper, the Magna Times

Sits near me as I contemplate its stories

One is extolling the virtues of small papers

Community newspapers are showing growth

While the larger dailies are in decline

Even Fox 13's Good Day Utah has a segment 

Devoted to stories from local newspapers 

I for one, do not want to see this stop

Stories of our neighbors are a window

Into everyday life all around us

Poem in Your Pocket Day


Take some time on this very special day

To find a favorite poem for a fun holiday

It may be one that makes you laugh or smile

Or even one that makes you think a while


It can be one you've written yourself

Or one you find upon a Library shelf

Just keep it with you throughout the day

Then share with those who come your way.

Day 25-Acrostic Poem


Grandchildren


Goodness for your heart

Romping in your house

Asking you millions of questions

Never afraid of a mouse

Doesn't hold back love

Couldn't if they tried

Heaven's gift from above

Inching up to my height

Loves to sit on laps

Dreams of what to be

Reaches arms up for hugs

Ever gives you kisses

Now and forever more

Day 23-Sonnet

Oh, how to write a sonnet
When thou art living right
''Tis good to have no ill regrets
Then thine outlook will be bright

Perchance thou wilt have sore trials
With lessons to be learned
Remember life is fragile
But blessings can be earned

Live each day to its fullest
Then thou wilt live it well
Thine heart shalt swell within thy breast
Of this I can foretell

Our goal is Celestial Glory
And thus ends thy life's story

Writing a poem is like writing a song

Or as simple as a lovely cradlesong 

And this will carry me all my lifelong.

I am loyal and loving
I wonder if I can make a difference in the world
I hear the drums of change
I see love all around
I want for each person to feel loved

I pretend I can do things better than I really can
I feel that I am a strong, vibrant woman
I touch the faces of all who are suffering
I worry it won't be enough
I am loyal and loving

I understand it won't change overnight 
I say I love each soul
I dream of all people feeling my love
I try to show my love each day
I hope to make a change
I am loyal and loving

These words are so very important to all

 Remember to learn them while here on earth

Day 7- Alliteration Poem

There never was a funnier man
Then the fabulous friendly Don Rickles
He could get a ferocious titter 
and his audience atwitter      
By kissing Ol' Blue Eyes for giggles.

He'll always be Mr. Potato Head to me
With his persnickety pretty partner Mrs P
Whenever they got in a pickle
He'd give us a tickle
With his perfectly placed repartee.

Day 30-anyway I want it Family History Poem

Day 30-Family History

I recently was given an album
Of photographs of the past
It's full of lovely photos
Of ancestors who were steadfast

There's men in topcoats and suits
And women in high style fashion
And babes wearing cute outfits
When their lives were full of passion

These photographs are amazing
The only problem is this
None of them are labeled
So, no names have come to us

My advice to all you people
Is to label all your pictures
So someone someday will know
Your name in all it's grandeur

Tell
A tale
Do not fail
Tell of your life
Or of a Dragon’s Tail
With his scales of purple Loosestrife
The sky is so dark, cut it with a knife
If the story's of you, there may have been a bell
To wake you up to play a rousing fife
To please someone’s husband or wife 
As they take the fast rail
Happiness rife
Without fail
Ships sail
Dwell

Our Heavenly Father loves us, earth his grand display.

Day 21- Poem in My Pocket

I have to preface this. I have a blog called Life in the Library, that until today, I hadn't really considered what that meant. Because of a friend's blog, I found an image I want to use on my blog of a circus. I haven't quite figured out how to use it yet, but it still made me consider writing a poem today on what that means to me.

Life in the Library

Working in a library is sometimes
Like being in the Circus
There's clowns who make you laugh
And wild animals who make you cringe
Then there's a high wire act
When a child screams unendingly
But the most beautiful part is
Like a knife thrower when
A child suddenly gets how wonderful
It is to be able to read!

Day 20-Grammar Poem

Dogs
Going in and going out

Another one I just wrote, while thinking of my Savior.

I know the Lord is there
He answers all my prayers

His love can never err
I'll put my arm to the square
I strive to avoid Satan's snares
And end my life as His heir

Is all about the rhythm and time
And making it sound like a beautiful chime
As in "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme"

It really isn't such a great literary climb
To be able to rhyme in the daytime
But when it carries into your needed sleep time 
It may have now become a bedtime crime!!

Day 15-Octopoem

Okay. I decided to have fun with this today. 

Day15-Octopoem

My Octopoem Octopus

My friend like to change color a lot
He doesn't care what season it is
His home is down deep in the ocean
If it's stormy, he's not happy
He doesn't wear any clothes
His couch the kelp on the ocean floor
He'd love to watch Sponge-Bob, if he had a TV
He'll eat anything he can fit in his beak

Day 13-Nonet Poem

Day 13-Nonet Poem

We've dogs who are crazy in our house
For whatever reason, who knows?
They run around in circles
Until they are dizzy
Then plop on the ground
They make us laugh
And then sigh,
They're done!
Whew!

Day 12-Shardorama Poem

My poem for today. 
There are books
That draw you right in
And some books
Turn you off
And then my favorite reads
Are ones that inspire.

Day 11-Haiku

Grandchildren are fun
They pull your heartstrings one day
Even when they destroy.

Day 10-Acrostic Poem

Day 10-Acrostic Poem

So happy I have siblings
I love them every one
Because they are my family my
Life is fully blest
I'll use them as examples and
Never let them go
God gave me a good family
So glad that they're the best.

Day 9- fractured nursery rhyme

Here's the original:

A tisket, a tasket 
A green and yellow basket
I wrote a letter to my love
And on the way I dropped it

I dropped it, I dropped it
And on the way I dropped it
A little boy picked it up
And put it in his pocket 

And now mine:

A tisket, a tasket
A ball and then a basket
I put the ball up in the sky
And missed that silly basket

I missed it, I missed it
I missed that silly basket
Somebody else picked it up
And they didn't miss the basket!

Day 4 I am poem

Day 4
I am a happy loving child of God
I wonder if I show enough love to others
I hear my heart beating a staccato
I see my life when I'm done on earth
I want to be crowned with glory
I am a happy loving child of God

I pretend that I know what I'm doing
I feel Like I get better at it each day
I touch the hearts of others
I worry that they won't understand
I cry when I think of the heartache around me
I am a happy loving child of God

I understand my Heavenly Father loves me
I say I am all that he needs
I dream of His arms around me
I try to show love all around
I hope for a better tomorrow
I am a happy loving child of God

Day 3-Triplet

Listening to the prophet speak
Is something we should do this week
To get the answers that we seek

Another one


I see the red roses blooming
I hear the birds chirping in the trees
I feel the warm sunshine on my face
I smell the new mown grass clippings
I taste the sweet berries from the vine. 

Day 2-spring Senses Poem

Spring looks like green grass
Spring sounds like birds singing
Spring feels like warm sunshine
Spring smells like lawn clippings
Spring tastes like sweet berries
