Mumbles and Grumbles
Mumbles and Grumbles
Get over your grumbles
Your quiet voiced mumbles
Life is too short
So hit abort
On your onboard
Autopilot
And fly it
Life is too short
Your quiet voiced mumbles
Get over your grumbles

Life is too short to hold onto grudges.
So many people walk around mumbling and grumbling beneath their breath. Often looking for bad and negative situations to occur around them so they can grumble some more.
It saddens me to see people often choosing to hold onto their frustrations.
We tend to live life on autopilot….
……We have adjusted our settings and set off on that course but often things change in our life and we forget to readjust the settings on the autopilot. But it’s important to. Readjusting ones self and ones perspectives is not always easy but the first step to a new perspective is taking charge trying to take hold of the wheel and attempt to fly manually!
Think of the clouds as your mumbles and grumbles. We need to take control of the plane and fly high above them.
Life is too short to do it any other way. Try to be more like….
…..it is a choice that you have to make each and every day.

Fire flies in the evening sky
Passerby
Placed in a glass jar
To light our way

Late night Thought to Poetry: Partiality
Elated state of partiality
Intriguing pondering creations
Indifferent to the aquatic equation
Of molecular diversion
Perversions of dimensional aversions

Purposely
It could have been me
but it’s not
The lessons I learned
I long forgot
We all have a shot at this life
No time to struggle or strife
But time to use the perspective lens
Examine those bothersome trends
Well wishes for distant friends
I take a little from there
And bring it with me here
To where I’m going to be
Life is about choices
Trying on our different voices Continue reading

Help: Approaching Publishers vs. ebook/self publishing
So here I am at a crossroads and with questions that I think you may be able to help me with.

Both can be found on my blog the poem is entitled The Vault of the Exalted and the first 2 pages were posted yesterday so you can check them out if you’d like. Continue reading

By the Fire
Sitting by the fire
It pops and crackles
Snapping like a crispy cracker
Except louder
Each crackle
And pop makes my heart stop
Makes me want to burst into flames
A burning pain
In my soul Continue reading
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!”
