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 unicorns were real?

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./

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!!

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.

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

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

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!

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

Take some time on this very special day

To find a favorite poem for a fun holiday

Or one you find upon a Library shelf

Just keep it with you throughout the day

Then share with those who come your way.

Grandchildren


Goodness for your heart

Romping in your house

Asking you millions of questions

Never afraid of a mouse

Doesn't hold back love

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

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

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

Another one for today


Scriptures are poetic in so many ways

So it makes me marvel as I pray

For the inspired men who wrote them

To guide and direct us in the Latter-Days


If we will but read them and learn their worth

We'll be given guidance while in our youth

These words are so very important to all

 Remember to learn them while here on earth


Day 8

Day 8-Free Verse


Life is like a roller coaster

There are too many hills and valleys to count

But that's what make life and roller coasters fun!

How exciting would either be if they went nowhere?

Day 7

This is my tribute to Don Rickles who died yesterday at the age of 90. 

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 6

Day 6- If I Were and If You Were Poems

If I were a photograph and you were a camera
I'd want you to develop my image so glamorous!

If you were a book to read and I was a Library
I'd find you on my shelves and not in a cemetery!

Limerick for Magna

Here's another Limerick for Limerick Day

We live in the town of Magna 
Which is not the same as Magma
It's a great place to live
There's lots of initiative
To be happy and live in Magna!
