5-7-5

It takes discipline

to write the 5 – 7 – 5;

syllabic structure.

Fear Does Not Live Here

Tags

facing fears, fear, fearful, fearless, opposing fear

Fear does not live here;

on the other side of fear,

fear is not welcomed.

Adore

adore, complements, compliments

I don’t want to compliment you,

I want to complement you.

 

I adore your antics.

I adore your smile.

I adore your hair.

I adore your laughter.

I adore your everything.

I adore you.

 

When I look at you the way a woman wants to be looked at,

I want you to know that…

 

I see your adorableness.

I see your sweetness.

I see your happiness.

I see your lovableness.

I see your eloquence.

I see every bit of you.

 

I adore you…

there are many words in the world,

yet – I cannot select just one to compliment you.

 

I adore you…

there are many men in the world,

yet – I want to be the one to complement you.

 

l adore you…

this more than an invitation to a dinner engagement.

 

I adore you…

this is the courtship that leads to a courtyard engagement.

 

When I look at you the way a woman wants to be looked at,

I want you to know that…

 

I’m not thinking about complimenting you,

I’m thinking about complementing you.

 

This is… “I will love you always.”

This is… something special.

This is… forever and a day – hand in hand.

This is… “none of your flaws can make me love you less.”

This is… seeing the smile in your beautiful eyes.

This is… you’re me and I’m you.

 

When I look into your eyes,

The Port of my Dreams remains afloat;

when I look at you the way a woman likes to be looked at,

I see the love that I’ve hidden being waded ashore.

 

When I look into your eyes,

this hopeless romantic regains hope;

when I look at you the way a woman likes to be looked at,

I see all that I’ve been missing – I see everything that I adore.

Pinkeye

beautiful eyes, eye care, irony, pinkeye

Her eyes were so beautiful,

even her blank stare was exquisite.

 

Her eyes were so beautiful,

they became my favorite place to visit.

 

Her eyes were so beautiful,

men were wooed to wanderlust by her wink.

 

Her eyes were so beautiful,

she bequeathed a rosette in every wink.

 

Her eyes were so beautiful,

her dry eyes became pink.

 

Her eyes were so beautiful,

she could no longer cry.

 

Her eyes were so beautiful,

they were infiltrated by the jealous pinkeye.

thanksgiving VI.i – VI.v

Happy thanksgiving…

eating until you throw up

is not justified.

 

But the fat boy in

me says go for it – you can

do it – eat all day.

 

First plate, second plate,

a little dessert and a

few haiku will do.

 

P.S. “Who made the

potato salad?!” will start

a family feud 😂

 

Hope you enjoyed your

thanksgiving with family

and friends today – peace.

Cornbread was like cake

– I had a pan to myself,

every thanksgiving 🙂

Her cornbread – the best;

she gave me the recipe

and our heritage 😉
