Search Dogs Mobilize to help Haitians

One of the blogs I follow, Our Family Cat-a-Log, had this post today. May both humans and dogs alike have a safe journey and know that their efforts and compassion are both admired and humbling... SEARCH DOGS MOBILIZE

Effie

This little elf, Effie, is going to Renee's mom. And I am truly sad because Renee's mom is dying. They don't know when, it could be any moment. Renee has gotten Effie and hopefully today will take her to her mom. You see Effie is her mom's name (maybe nickname) Her mom also had red hair as a girl...
How could Effie not go to Effie.....

The heart only suggests love.

I love you Renee

Poetry from 53A - Outrageous

In she walks, slow and aloof.
Ignoring the looks cast her way,
she stalks, a red-tailed devil tat her escort.

Corseted and pierced, with high high-heels,

She's a heat-seeking missile in the flesh.

Glanced at, stared at, secret looks pry,

So young and so outrageous.

She knows the stir she causes,

indifferent, she neither pauses

nor apologizes for her look.

I read her like I would a poorly written book,

scanned and sketched, details dismissed.

And yet, she makes an enduring impression,

a memory of persistent outrageousness.

Poetry from 53A

Poetry Slam...Camouflage

" You know the type.

Eyes cast downward

like a closed umbrella~



tatoos, flashy clothes, red lips

and hair so black it's electric blue.



As soon as she opens her mouth to speak

you feel her pain.

Searing, white-hot.

And only then do you understand

her need for camouflage.

Regarding Poetry

" Hanging at Cookies,
steam rising from fresh-poured tea
across the table from me.

Chanting, rapping and occasional clapping
manages to fill the void in the room

while strangers work up the courage
to say the words they've held in too long."


I'm SO not a poet but that was sure fun!
Picture Tom Waits voice as the narrator ;)

"C" is for Cookie

"C" is for Cookie

It's also for the corn that

I don't know why I bother chewing

Now, I have placed a picture in

Your mind that will remain

For a long

Long

Time.

I can be cruel, it's true

But I hope you still

Love me

Even

After

That picture.

Cookie's Sunday Night Poetry Slam

No Poetry Slam

Reports to write, damn

But when I'm done

I'll look in to have fun.

Debra Kay has been slamming

While I'm doing my damning

So see the comments before

The slam is a bore.

Oh by the way Happy Year

I hope it brings cheer

I hope you get clear

And music you hear.

I hope you decide

To take a fast ride

Follow the tide

And be happy you tried.

The End.
