During the week while I’m writing stories and poems, ideas that I call nuggets of gold pop up. I write them down but rarely share them. Sometimes they work their way into a poem but usually they are wasted. Sometimes the ideas are related but often they’re not. This time I thought I’d share.
Nuggets of Gold
Look for beauty and find it
In your surroundings
It lies there waiting for you.
Solitude and shadows wait
Hidden in my soul
Ready for the right moment.
Sounds and other stimuli
Connect me always
I feel the life force flowing.
Even though I do enjoy life
It overwhelms me
I’m easily distracted.
I used nine lives long ago
Searching in moonlight
It’s good that I’m not a cat.
Continuously write down
Your innermost thoughts
Your heart will know what to do.
I’ve squandered many precious gifts
Giving them away
But they will return someday.
To know, understand, accept,
Creates confidence
When it’s applied to oneself.
Heritage
Family trees can handle stress
Before the sap flows
If connected roots are deep.
Related by kinship lists
We encourage the
Successive generations.
Love
Almond eyes and peachy skin
She’s ready for love
My heart is pounding within!
I’ll write my own love story
One line at a time
Breathing life into stale air.
Macintosh Apples
A Macintosh fell kerplunk!
That’s how I became
Acquainted with gravity.
Seeds from Macintosh apples
Can grow apple trees
But not Macintosh apples.
Macintosh’s heredity
Cannot be traced far
Crab apples are the parents.
