Awkward Family Story

Awkward Family Story

I just saw this online, and died laughing.


This isn't a normal post...that will be happening later on today. But I figured I would share this with everyone =]. It gave me something to laugh at.

Today....is a great day.

So, before I post a poem...I need to talk about today.

For anyone who considers themselves even minutely connected to the world of Harry Potter is well aware of tonight's premiere. THIS will be an epic night....full of wins.
I will, of course, be stationed at a theater approximately two hours before the start of the film to get good seats. I bought my tickets over a week ago.

I am also wearing a striped rugby shirt, not unlike the Ravenclaw Quidditch jersey. AND carrying around my Harry Potter wand....it is an exact replica of the wand used in the films....yes...i know...you can laugh.

Basically, the day is going amazingly well and the weather is strangely nice too.
I am currently at work, sitting with Bekka. =] I was hitting her with a newspaper before, which was entertaining. Now she's staring at a pair of shoes and I'm typing this.

So, please enjoy today's poem.
After the poem I will give a brief explanation of the poem I posted last night.
This poem's description will appear tomorrow....please post your comments on what you feel it's meanings are til then.

The Meaning of the Moment

Mindless-

Indulging in the

Wasteful time

Leisure provides,

Ticking clocks

Show you no sympathy-

Longing for a drawn out

Sunrise,

Hoping the moon can retain

Its stay,

Wishing the setting sun wouldn't

Disappear behind the hills.

Our watches only move forward,

While we remain stagnant

In our thoughts.

Yesterday's poem was about the importance of perseverance and the motion to carry on. The woods are something we can all connect with as a notion of getting lost. This correlates to losing ourselves and having to find our way out of failure, sadness, a tough spot, etc. I have a thing for folklore, superstitions, legends, and myths so instead of working with simple shadows and darkness to be "upon my back" I chose Daevas. 

Daevas are actually Zoroastrian "wrong gods". They are false gods made of shadow who were accredited to the promotion of disorder and chaos.There is a list of Daevas who stand for multiple ways for devastation, but they all have the common goal- the fall of man. So, they serve as a weight and terror for humankind. The moral standpoint of the poem is to push past these immoralities and road blocks and to make the long journey into a place full of "light". Light being the absence of hardship.

The Weather Sucks

So, I have tons of stuff to do, but I wrote this today and it needs to go up.

 In The Mist

Without a saddle

I've ridden for too long,

The trail's dust ridden

And lined with dead

Crusted oaks-

I've lost my warmth

And my clothes are

Damp and worn.

Brown hat on top.

I can only trudge on,

Mocked by the Daevas

Casting their forms

Upon my back.

This mist wood will

Be my battle match,

But I've got a light to

Search for-

Perseverance will

Prevail.

PLEASE, let me know what you think. 

I have come up with a new idea...I'll post a poem...then the next time I post one I'll talk about what the last one's inner meaning was. What i'd like to happen is for my followers or anyone reading to leave me a comment and tell me your interpretation of what I wrote. I like when the creative juices are flowing. Hobey-ho.

And the posts keep on going!

I've still been dealing with a lot, but I'm really excited today. I'm attaching a poem to express how happy/anxious/crazy excited I am.

Gone Fishing

Before you filled my life

The sun set an hour faster.
The minutes went by-

I watched them

As they floated by

Down the creek.

Like skipping stones

I was living them with no care.

Never did I think about who 

Could cast a net to spend those minutes

With me.

Spend moment to moment

In a euphemistic state.

The sun sets an hour later.

Also, I'm not huge on Glee by any means.

AND- I'm not a fan of Katy Perry at all....at all.

But her song "Teenage Dream" was sung on Glee this past Monday and it was AWESOME.

I'm Posting it here for you all to see.

 

Let me know what you all think! And have a great weekend.

When the World Gets Turned Upside Down

I'm not perfect. I am clearly human, and I don't pretend to be exceptional. I am who I am. We all make mistakes, large and small, and working through those mistakes are what make us stronger people in the end. I'm not trying to sound philosophical either...that's just the truth.
I'm going to be optimistic.

Aviation

We’ve got our baggage,

Hoping the world can handle it

As we pass through the metal detector

And board the plane to our destiny.

Nothing stops us as we pass

People on the way to the waiting area,

Making acquaintances as the crowd rushes on.

The ticket taker is our favorite teacher from school

Moving us onto the path to our future.

Boarding that plane you’ll pass by the faces

Of those close to you.

Up front is your family-

Your parents in first class

And so forth back into the plane.

However,

You make your way to the cockpit-

Where you take the controls

And manage the course to the horizon-

With your true love beside you.
