Discoveries

When you discover something,

It should inspire you to keep going,

When you discover,

It will help you uncover,

Whatever it is you've been searching for.

To keep your discoveries happy and bright,

Let them take flight,

Let them take you away,

For tomorrow is a new day.

Time

Time is a mystery,

Let's learn from history,

Time is a mystery,

No matter how much we try,

We all shall die.

So enjoy the time,

And make some rhymes,

Because you never know when your times up,

So Giddy-up.

#piccadillyinc

Every Day Is a New Gift

Be ready,

Be aware,

Every moment of every day is a gift,

So spend it wisely because it shall never return.

True you shall get more,

But you never know what you learned,

So be at peace and be grateful, 

That you live so faithful,

To your creator,

Who gives,

So you can live,

In the way which you choose to live.

#piccadillyinc

New Year

Many cheer,

For New Year,

Many celebrations around the world,

In all the cities full of lights,

Brighter and brighter through the night,

Until they are burnt by the star,

From wide and far.

Music

 

Music is the heart of life.

Everything in life has a rhythm.

You can find a beat in all of lifes complexities.

Music makes life fun.

When your truly passionate about something it shows.

Live 

Live your life,

Don't go through strife,

Sing your song,

Doesn't matter if its wrong,

As long as you try you shall always be in my life.

A Star

I'm wishing on a star,

Right on Christmas Eve,

Come to me where you are,

No matter what the sleeve,

Wish oh wish, oh wish away,

Come to me to stay and portray.

#piccadillyinc

Candy and Unicorns

Think of whatever makes you happy,

And grow,

Think of whatever makes you peaceful,

As long as you know,

That you are one in a million and unique.

#piccadillyinc

Food

I imbibe to revive,

My taste which are based,

On the almondine cuisine,

However I never just chew the rew,

I love to eat the meat,

And masticate the granulates,

So try it with your diet,

And digest that,

For your blood test.

#piccadillyinc 

Sleep

Sleep

A restful

Wonderful,

Deep sleep,

Is what I need 

To compete,

In the challenges life gives,

True each one lives separately,

But beneficially we dream together,

So it would seem we all have access to the same information,

Which we all take temptation 

For the evaluation.

#piccadillyinc

Miracles

Miracles happen every day,

Just keep your eyes open.

Miracles are blessings that come into play,

Which help you find your way,

Miracles are seldom seen for what they are,

They are seen as challenging events,

Only in hindsight are they seen as true miracles of which they are,

So always follow your star.

#piccadillyinc

Home

This home is not just a house,

With a mouse,

It's so much more,

It is like a village,

Because it is an apartment.

It has many hearths as well as kitchens inside,

However their are few cottages or firesides,

Unless you count the imaginations of the residents of the tenement.

#piccadillyinc 

Fire

The fire burned,

The more it burned,

The more it learned.

It had a flare,

For air,

Which caused a crackle,

Within the inferno,

There were flames, 

Which caused smoke,

To hearth the brimstone,

Which made it like stone,

Within the fire 

That burns within the sun.

#piccadillyinc 

Winds

The Winds

The Winds of the East,

The Winds of the West,

There putting me through a test.

The Winds of the North,

The Winds of the South,

They are all going in my mouth.

#piccadillyinc

Ideas

Ideas flow in and out of my head like butterflies,

Ideas make my wonders never cease,

Ideas go where no one has gone before,

Ideas are the building blocks for all which we create.

#piccadillyinc 

The Dreidel Game

In the Dreidel game of Chanakah, 

We all win pieces of chocalate gold coins,

Aleph, Bet, Gimel, Nun,

Take half,

Take all,

Put back, or 

Take None.

Four sides of the dreidel represent four kingdoms or four possible lands.

#piccadillyinc

Compassion

Compassion doesn't make you weak,

Compassion makes you strong,

Compassion gives you much to speak,

Compassion gives you strength from above,

Compassion gives you the ability to love.

Compassion shows your true humanity,

Despite its many qualms.

Compassion is the most gentle force,

Within natures full coarse.

#piccadillyinc 

Oh Saint Nicholas

Oh Saint Nicholas,

Oh Saint Nicholas,

You bring us such joys and wonders,

Oh Saint Nicholas,

Oh Saint Nicholas,

You bring us such gifts of grandaur,

Oh Saint Nicholas,

Oh Saint Nicholas,

You are with us and show your mercy.

Oh Saint Nicholas,

Oh Saint Nicholas,

Find it in your heart to bless the wicked for they know not what they do.

#piccadillyinc 

Memories

Memories are like photograghs,

Some are happy,

Some are sad,

Memories are like albums,

One might not relate to the next,

But as a whole they make the story complete.

#piccadillyinc

Differently Abled

People who are differently abled have a unique view on life.

Perhaps it is because there's was almost taken away.

But they always tend to be happy.

#piccadillyinc

Thanksgiving

 

This time of year,

When everyone comes near,

Is for all to hear,

All the encouragement and brave,

And for all those who save.

The best,

For the test.

Of life to come.

#piccadillyinc 

Children

Little kids,

How much they kid,

They play and play,

The youth don't understand,

The youngsters that take a stand,

For their great nation,

They don't leave their station,

But if they did,

They wouldn't be kids.

#piccadillyinc 

Parents

Family unity,

It's very important to see,

The upbringing of a child,

Is by a mother and father mostly,

However teachers play a vital role,

In nuturing the children of the future,

To be idolic guardians of whatever they choose to be.

#piccadillyinc 

Magic Flows

Magic flows,

Magic grows,

Magic is the life force,

Magic makes you feel the coarse,

Magic is as friendly as you want it to be.

Magic takes a few words,

Or an encyclopedia of knowledge,

Magic grows,

As you grow,

It flows through all you do,

And all you pursue.

#piccadillyinc

Hopes

In hopes,

You got your wishes,

Your expectations,

Your aspirations,

Your ambitions,

Your beliefs.

You have to have faith that your optmistic anticipation will come to fruition, 

Because when you have beliefs you can accomplish multitudes of things.

#piccadillyinc

Train your Brain

When you train your brain,

For the main attraction,

You get action,

No matter how insane,

The pain.

#piccadillyinc 

Differing opinions

Different stances on life,

Make this world great.

However not when they cause to much unbalance in the flow,

This is when you should know,

That you should take a step back,

Before you react,

And never give up on the harmonies of the world,

Because no matter what,

You will always have one person beleive in you if not more and that is you.

#piccadillyinc

Death

Death is just the next stage of spiritual evolution,

We are afraid of this.

However it is much like stepping through a doorway, into another room.

Where only one side can view back, not the other, 

So relax in life,

You shall get everything, 

You were meant to get to.

Whatever you don't get done other people will accomplish.

#piccadillyinc

Look at me

When you look at me,

What do you see,

Do you see what I was,

Or what I can be?

#piccadillyinc 

Mortal Coil

Much like a snake withers away,

So it may,

Grow a new skin.

This molting process, 

Like so many others,

Lead to a new life,

Everything is not lost from the previous host,

Given to the most,

Of this strife,

So its life,

Which always turns out anew,

For so many and you.

#piccadillyinc

Memories

So many memories,

So little time,

Such great memories,

So little time,

So many memories are in my head, 

I don't know what is real or what is not.

I feel the jovial friendships of my past acquaintances.

I also feel the hardships,

Of my current circle.

Which lead me back to my memories in my head,

Which I have laid upon my bed.

#piccadillyinc

Existence

When you exist,

You persist,

On what you might have in mind.

Even though,

Life is so,

Hard to know,

Which way is right or wrong,

It sometimes takes a song,

To finish,

Your mission.

#piccadillyinc 

We are all the same

In the sum of it all,

We are all the same.

We may have our different values,

But when you blend them together you get a beautiful cosmic tapestry of which we all take part in.

Let us all celebrate our similarities,

Not be denigrated by our differences.

Let us all become one,

But still have our unique voices.

This may be the most challenging aspect of our human evolution,

Not to have a revolution.

But to be able to communicate freely,

Without being suffocated by fear,

And standing firm to what we hold dear.

#piccadillyinc

Authors

We all our authors to some extent,

Whatever the version of life we see,

We do our best to make others see.

This shall always be the case,

No matter what the race,

Paper shall always be a safe place.

#piccadillyinc

Inspiration

When inspiration stikes,

It's hard to ignore,

So let's go for a soar,

When inspiration strikes.

When inspiration hits,

That is legit,

So go more and more,

When inspiration hits.

#piccadillyinc

Friends

Friends come,

Friends go,

But true friends stay.

Even though it may be rough,

They are tough,

So be enough of a friend to me,

And stay with me no matter what.

#piccadillyinc

Fear of the Unknown

We fear the outside to much,

We fear what it may do to us,

These are unsubstantiated fears.

If you fear the unknown, the unkown will be fearful,

However if you accept the unknown,

You will lead a happy and joyous and prosperous life. 

So don't fear the unknown, 

Meet it head on,

And face to face,

Live to be free,

Like a bee.

#piccadillyinc

Take a breather

If you race through life,

You can't enjoy the little things.

Slow down,

Smell the flowers,

Read a book,

Or else all of this huba-bub-baloo,

Will end up making you blue.

#piccadillyinc 

A Storm of Words

A Storm of Words is in my head,

Which prevents me from going to bed,

This storm of words is so absurd,

I finally can relax,

From all the tax,

Because all the words have been spent.

#piccadillyinc 

Wishes

The desire of your will,

Are equal to the wishes of your ambitions,

The longings of hope,

Intensify your yearnings as well as your aspirations.

So dream away,

Dream away,

All your wishing shall come to pass and fruition one day,

If you just obey your intent,

And always portray your gratitude for whatever comes your way.

#piccadillyinc

Beautifully Unique

Write about all the ways you are beautiful. Write a poem to yourself on your unique beauty.

I am so beautifully unique,

I am sheek.

I definitely am not obsolete.

With all my grammer,

I use as a hammer,

This will get me in the books,

If not, only some looks.

#piccadillyinc

Privilege

It's a privilege,

To live in a village.

However it's a greater privilege to live in a bigger village.

Because the bigger the village, the more interactions you have,

The more lessons you learn.

The greater the village,

With the more privilage.

#piccadillyinc

Colors

There are colors like black and white, When you see them you know what's right, Then there colors like orange and blues, These tend to lead you to what's new. If you see yellow or red you know your ahead.

A Little Hair

Last night I had a hair, That gave me quite a scare, I felt it in my throat, What am I a goat? But it went away, And I got same sleep.

Music

Their is an instrumental melody.

A popular hymn that the orchestra is turning up its rhythms and the choral ensamble is growing in crescendo.

This music is the embodiment of the good as well as bad spiritual forces. It has arcs and dips, crescendoes as well as divas that come at you in your thoughts where you are most susceptable to them.

#piccadillyinc

Smiles

Smiling for miles,
Laughter upon laughter,
Amusement after amusement,
Grin and delightful dimples beam off those rosy lips.

Smile in your eyes,
Laughter in your heart,
You feel so youthful and energetic, you feel like celebrating your life. It is not a special day until you make it one, with your youthful glow of optimistic energy.

#piccadillyinc

Cries of Pain

How insane,

These cries of pain,

What are they for, shame,

This rain is really getting to me,

For its hard to see.

With so much pain I want to see happiness and enjoyment,

Not pain and sadness,

Lift your spirits,

You can do it.

Never let them see you suffer, shining star through all the night, showing people the way, guiding them through the turmoil. Stay optimistic and true no matter what you do.

#piccadillyinc

Rain

With great power,

These showers, 

And dew percipitate.

This liquid sunshine sprinkles only when torrential downpours wreak havoc, 

And the Gods bowl and their strikes are thunderous outcries of raindrops and dew.

#piccadillyinc 

Enjoy your Moments

Do not despair,

Become aware,

The more you become aware,

The more you will be there,

For people when they need you.

#piccadillyinc

Joy

The rapture of glee,

Is ecstacy,

For all to see.

The bliss and cheer

Is content with their delight and elation.

#piccadillyinc

Keep on Going on

Keep on Going on,

Until you find your happy life.

Happiness is only a point of view,

But if you stay True,

You'll keep on going on,

Till happiness surrounds you.

Than happiness will abound you,

Because when you are happy,

You could do anything,

And you will keep on going on.

#piccadillyinc 

Time

Time is a mystery,

A mystery of history,

We cannot go forward until we understand our past.

Yet there is no negating our past, because that's what makes up our present as well as what will make up our future. This time, that time, we shall make a rhyme.

#piccadillyinc 

Blame

What's so important you got to blame?

It's such a shame,

That in this game,

People blame.

Eachother to no end,

It just causes them to appreciate the situation, 

Which creates more problems, 

If they only sat down and talked it out.

Instead they pout.

#piccadillyinc 

Joy

The rapture of glee, 

Is ecstacy,

For all to see,

The bliss and cheer,

Is content with their delight and elation.

#piccadillyinc

Sadness

The sorrow of heartache,

Shall partake in the bleakness of dysphoric grief and the despondent of wooing suffering.

#piccadillyinc 

Anger

No one is a stranger,

To anger,

The rage, malice, and vexation,

Is indignation.

You better not holler at the choler in the ire of enmity is acrimony.

#piccadillyinc 

Words

Words are important tools in our lives.

Words reveal what we are feeling. 

Some words convey happiness or sadness, 

While others convey other emotions entirely.

We have to use words to get our points across to eachother.

Not weapons or bows, for people will get hurt.

Flowers

Rose's are Red,

Violets are Blue,

Orchids are white,

And Baby's Breath is too.

It's a wonder how we all can live united as one, but we can. Through adversity we shall conquer all barriers of hate,

And make no mistake,

We all shall for goodness sake,

In this world of anguish it is difficult to see the beauty at times, but it is always there you just need to know where to look. So don't give up your fight until your satisfied with your outcome.

For Roses shall always be red and Violets shall always blossom.

#piccadillyinc

Laughter

Laughter is great.

Laughter is profound.

When others laugh at you, know that they are not doing so to be cruel, but they are doing so because they are unhappy with themselves, be it at home or in school and they only laugh to surpass their anguish they feel inside.

Laughter is fun,

So let's laugh as one.

#piccadillyinc 

Do you hear it?

Do you hear that sound?

What do you think it is?

Is it all just a pitter-patter?

What do you think?

Is it someone playing tricks?

Is that what you think?

Is it the sounds of Angels singing in their Angelic tones?

Or is it the sound of Demonic gremlins of long past come to take us down?

Whatever the sound is though I shall not go easy.

For this is my adventure and I shall say when it ends.

#piccadillyinc

Love is....

Love is blind when it needs to be,

Love is kind when it needs to be,

Love is strict when it needs to be,

Love is wonderous always,

Love is a grandiose effect onto itself most often.

Love is meant for all who seek and wonder about it and all its majesties.

Love is a whole lot more than this as well....

What do you beleive love is?

#piccadillyinc

Write a poem about a tomato

A tomato is not a vegetable, It is a fruit, But it's a unique fruit, That needs a hoot, Because without this fruit We would not have ketchup or tomato sauce, Which people value more than gold.

How the Virus Stole Easter

By Kristi Bothur

With a nod to Dr. Seuss 

 

 

Twas late in ‘19 when the virus began
Bringing chaos and fear to all people, each land.

People were sick, hospitals full,
Doctors overwhelmed, no one in school.

As winter gave way to the promise of spring,
The virus raged on, touching peasant and king.

People hid in their homes from the enemy unseen.
They YouTubed and Zoomed, social-distanced, and cleaned.

April approached and churches were closed.
“There won’t be an Easter,” the world supposed.

“There won’t be church services, and egg hunts are out.
No reason for new dresses when we can’t go about.”

Holy Week started, as bleak as the rest.
The world was focused on masks and on tests.

“Easter can’t happen this year,” it proclaimed.
“Online and at home, it just won’t be the same.”

Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, the days came and went.
The virus pressed on; it just would not relent.

The world woke Sunday and nothing had changed.
The virus still menaced, the people, estranged.

“Pooh pooh to the saints,” the world was grumbling.
“They’re finding out now that no Easter is coming.

“They’re just waking up! We know just what they’ll do!
Their mouths will hang open a minute or two,
And then all the saints will all cry boo-hoo.

“That noise,” said the world, “will be something to hear.”
So it paused and the world put a hand to its ear.

And it did hear a sound coming through all the skies.
It started down low, then it started to rise.

But the sound wasn’t depressed.
Why, this sound was triumphant!
It couldn’t be so!
But it grew with abundance!

The world stared around, popping its eyes.
Then it shook! What it saw was a shocking surprise!

Every saint in every nation, the tall and the small,
Was celebrating Jesus in spite of it all!

It hadn’t stopped Easter from coming! It came!
Somehow or other, it came just the same!

And the world with its life quite stuck in quarantine
Stood puzzling and puzzling.
“Just how can it be?”

“It came without bonnets, it came without bunnies,
It came without egg hunts, cantatas, or money.”

Then the world thought of something it hadn’t before.
“Maybe Easter,” it thought, “doesn’t come from a store.
Maybe Easter, perhaps, means a little bit more.”

And what happened then?
Well....the story’s not done.
What will YOU do?
Will you share with that one
Or two or more people needing hope in this night?
Will you share the source of your life in this fight?

The churches are empty - but so is the tomb,
And Jesus is victor over death, doom, and gloom.

So this year at Easter, let this be our prayer,
As the virus still rages all around, everywhere.

May the world see hope when it looks at God’s people.
May the world see the church is not a building or steeple.
May the world find Faith in Jesus’ death and resurrection,
May the world find Joy in a time of dejection.
May 2020 be known as the year of survival,
But not only that -
Let it start a revival.
