Exclamation points, a childrens poem

I over use exclamation points!

It must be my passion trying to pour out of me.

I really don’t mean to yell.

I often feel like a young child, bouncing up and down trying so patiently to not interrupt. Big eyes looking up longingly, waiting for the right time, unsure when that is, all the while pulling and tugging at arms and pants to help hold back the words, until it erupts, interrupts.

It’s exciting to write and it’s exciting to be alive!

So I will over use my exclamation marks!

Live with passion.

Live the life that you were meant to live.

Be alive.

Pour over into the lives of those around you.

Cup of Water

Pitter, patter

Chitter, chatter

What’s the matter?

Father, father I need some water

Scitter, scatter

Teeter, totter

Daughter, daughter, here’s your water

“Dedicated to my husband, the Father of the Daughter that gave the cup of water, many a night!”

Waters so calm and purifying

Cleanses my soul and my body

Purity, security

Remember, you ARE strong enough!

Remember you were given this life because you are strong enough to live it. Even when things feel tough and you don’t feel like you can take any more, you can.

‘Soul y’ Me

Do not define me

Do not limit my possibilities

Do not tell me who I am

Who I will become

Or Where I am headed

Do not put limitations on what I can become,

What I can achieve,

What I can accomplish! Continue reading →

Come on over. I need your help for a moment.

Hi everyone.

I hope that you all had a wonderfully happy, relaxing, fulfilling and creative weekend.

I hate to be a bother on an already bothersome Monday but I’m putting together my poetry e book and I would like some input from you all.

If you could take a moment to let me know which poems you would really like to see in my e book I would be very grateful. Do you have a favorite? One that stood out from the rest for you? If so why? I may put these comments to use…

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my blog and for taking the time to comment and share. You all are awesome!

Jennifer
