Not sure if that's a compliment. Never been called that before. Oh well...
I'll just pretend that's a good thing to be.

Thank you, Garry, Tom & Dale.

Tom...yes, it is a compliment, but may not have come across as such. You wrote about "Daffodils", so "flowery" seemed appropriate. I guess I should have said; "you're so flowery with words." No offense intended. I always enjoy your writings.

No offense taken Buddy!
Just send me ten beautiful Mint GEC's and we can forget the whole thing.
No big deal.

"Daffodils"

The homesteads are all gone,
Gone all the people,
Gone are the walls,
Gone is the steeple,

Left behind are the rocks,
That laid the foundation,
Gone those who once,
Built a great nation,

Left behind are the daffodils,
God's resurrecting creation,
Gone are the bells,
Left only, a vibration...

“CATCH ME, IF YOU CAN”

With Ides of March upon us

This day of velvet green

Be sure to keep a wary eye

For a Leprechaun may be seen

He'll laugh and frolic round about

And dance his merry jig

Be careful you don't step on him

For he's not very big

He moves about with quickness

In clover fields serene

To try and catch the one off guard

Who isn't wearing green

But if you feel the luck, me Lad

And think today's a cinch

To forget about the clover leaf

Then you deserve a pinch

And even though it's making believe

The rainbow's Pot-of-Gold

With Leprechaun’s that disappear

And can never grab ahold

But if you’re lucky to catch this man
And receive your wishes thrice
Oh what a joy that would be
To live a life so nice

Or maybe he will kindly state
The hidden places told
Of rainbows end upon the hills
Where pots are filled with gold

Though you might not have the chance
To catch him unawares
The fun you’ll have just trying to
With all your friends to share

Don't be dismayed about this day

Just take it with the rest

For every day that's shiny green

You know that you've been blessed

So as his laughter fades away

He shouts with a waving hand

May all your moments be "Lucky Charms"

Catch Me, if you can...

Love it, KLJ.

"Today"

Yesterday and tomarrow,
Are at war with each other,
If only today.

Tomarrow there shall be peace,
As there once was yesterday,
Today is lost.

Yesterday is but a memory,
Tomarrow is forever an illusion,
Remains only today.

Thanks Buddy! Appreciate it! I didn't care for the bleakness of it yesterday as I normally write down my feelings & I was not feeling at all or in any way bleak yesterday but the words just came to me so I put them down in writing. Otherwise, they would be gone today. That's just how it is. Today I awoke with an answer to the poem from yesterday. I must write it down today, tomarrow it will be gone.

"Today there is Peace"

At peace with the future,
At peace with the past,
At peace with the present,
At peace, at last.

Four foot notes that come to mind.:

1) HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

2) Matthew 6:34 “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

3) This book.: Illumination in the Flatwoods: A Season with the Wild Turkey / By: Joe Hutto
What I remember most about it is how Wild Turkeys live in the present moment.

4) If you want peace to write in the morning while everyone is still asleep..., you must first feed the cats.

"Myosotis"

Four-Thirty reads the Nixon watch,
Two pretty Schrades,
Aloft some rocks,
Sedum growing out around,
Covers up the naked ground,
The air was crisp,
The sun was hot,
I even saw,
For-Get-Me-Not!
