One of the most fantastic things about computers to me is the ability to make and stay in touch with friends and family. Besides email, you can reach me at 121183044 on ICQ and on MSN I borrow my husband's nickname "wacky wizard".
This is the very first piece I had published on the web.
CAUGHT IN A NET OF FRIENDS
There I was falling like Alice in Wonderland, when I was caught in a net of friends
Circumstances were overwhelming.Pandora's box still held HOPE
I tried not to say too much about my troubles Everybody has their share
But between the lines and over the waves, The truth could not be denied.
Before I knew how bottomless the pit, I was caught in a net of friends
Some told jokes, some cursed fate, some sang songs, some sent email, some said prayers.
Some offered advice, some promised a better tomorrow.I was caught in a net of friends.
What the response is, is not as critical as that there be one,
No matter how secure your real world,
How perfect a day, there comes a time when you fall through the crack
Then how blessed to be Caught in a Net of Friends
This format appealed to me because I have often thought of my life in terms of mosaics, stained glass and kaleidescope colorful, ever changing bits.
Blue is my favorite color, but not my favorite mood. I am just a hair under a perpetual smiley face. This is an example of my personal favorite's among the many types of writing. I call it "NAME POEMS" and the first letter of each line spells the name.
INDEPENDENCE, MISSOURI: QUEEN CITY OF THE TRAILS
I nspiring churches on the skyline
N atural beauty enhanced and protected by plan
D evoted citizens doing their best
E ager children learning, playing, loving
P roud parents watching them grow
E nergetic youth whose forming values can clash
N either too large nor too small
D aily excelling in dozens of ways
E arnest adults, an effective citizenry
N ever say never - only we'll try to all worthwhile proposals
C arefully adjusting plans as needed
E ver willing to help neighbors near or far
M y Kind Of Town
I ndividuality respected
S ome lattitude for differences
S ome appreciation for commonality
O ur neighbors divergent, working heart to heart
U nderstanding spreads with shared tasks
R eady, willing and able-apt description
I ndustrious people, ideas in action.
Q uietly living day to day
U nlikely spot for much trouble
E asy to see why many pass this way and stay
E ntertainment abounds
N ourishing foods in varied ambience
C ertain to please travellers as well
I ntuitive in response to human needs
T riumphant over difficulties that may arise
Y our Home And Mine
O ffering the best year after year
F riends and travellers, no strangers here
T rusting the future because the past is good
H istory propels us toward tomorrow's destiny
E very right decision holding promise
T he few bad decisions we ammend together
R eady to face the heat or the music
A lways responding to duty calling
I ntelligent approach to needed regulations
L east law is best law in balance proven
S ome days I marvel at all it offers!
