Flash 55 Friday - Things That Go Bump in the Night - October 29, 2010

Things that go bump in the night,

Really give me a fright,

I'd rather be home and not seen,

And go candyless on Halloween.

There'll be be witches and goblins about,

Doing all sorts of evil, no doubt,

I'm afraid I'd fall under their spell,

And plunge my lilly white soul into hell!

Poor me!

Carmen Henesy

I'm participating in Flash 55 Friday, brainchild of G-Man aka Mr. Know-it-all.

Congratulations, GIANTS, you did it again!

Keep it up in Texas!

Life's Journey - Flash 55 Friday, 5-21-10

Life's Journey - Flash 55 Friday, 5-21-10

A dream of mine,

At last come true,

A book of poems,

Long overdue!

I never thought

I’d get it done,

But it moved along,

Once I’d begun.

A lifetime’s worth,

Of thoughts in rhyme,

Experiences gathered,

Over time.

Memories triggered,

As I wrote,

At times, a lump,

Felt in my throat.

Done at last!

At the age of 65, I've finally fulfilled a lifelong dream. Nothing like taking one's time, right, but as the saying goes, better late than never! Life's Journey, my first book of poetry, is available at https://www.createspace.com/3439758. It will also be on Amazon.com in about a week to ten days.

Life's Journey

http://www.createspace.com/3439758

Poems about the things that have been important to me in my journey through life, some humorous, some sad, some that may have meaning to you as well.

If you order it, regardless, let me know, since they do not notify me individually who buys it. If you'll send me your home address via email or the private message section of facebook, I'll send you an autographed sticker to attach to the inside. Also, if you like the book, whether you buy it from Amazon or the createspace store, I'd appreciate it if you'd write a review.

Many, many thanks. This is so exciting for me and I must thank Joanne Olivieri for all her help in making this possible!

"The Forensic Nurse" is in this book!

Happily Ever After - Flash 55, Friday, 5-14-10

A week ago, this very day,

I gave my middle son away!

Beautiful Laura is now his wife,

May theirs be a joyous married life!

I felt such pride to see my son,

So in love with the girl he’d won,

With those vows said, I just know,

Their love will only continue to grow.

Instant Millionaire - Flash 55 Friday, 4-23-10

She felt the tension mounting,

Her pulse raced in her chest,

She prayed she knew the answer,

She’d try her very best.

Her family lived in poverty,

Their dreams were pinned on her,

So she’d tried out for this contest,

The rest was just a blur.

A millionaire... an answer to a prayer!

Fleeing Havana - Flash 55 Friday, 4-9-10

The forlorn sound of foghorns,

Pieced the murky night,

Terrified, they clung together,

Hoping they were out of sight.

Cuba seemed so far away,

And freedom seemed so near,

But neither dared to hope,

For there still was much to fear.

.Suddenly, a flashlight shone in their faces.

"It's okay.

Bienvenidos.

You are now safe."

Where Is That Dratted Rabbit? Flash 55 Friday, 4-2-10

Where did that Easter rabbit go,

Careening here and there,

He’s running willy nilly,

Dropping baskets everywhere.

I saw tons of chocolate candy,

And jellies by the heaps,

With lots of little cuddly toys,

And at least a zillion Peeps.

Somehow, that bunny passed me by,

Woe is me, I’m going to cry!

I've Been Playing Hooky - Flash 55 Friday, 3-26-10

I’ve been playing hooky,

And having lots of fun,

I’ve even forgotten blogging,

Which I’ve seldom ever done!

I hope you will forgive me,

I know I’ve been remiss,

I promise now to tow the line,

Because I do love doing this!

I must get busy, I’m truly in a tizzy,

I am feeling dizzy!

The Devil Went Down To Georgia - Flash 55 Friday, 2-26-10

The devil went down to Georgia,

I think he’s after me,

I seem to feel his presence here,

Along the Chattahoochee.

Begone, you sleazy, fallen one,

Plunge to the depths of hell,

You’re making one big fool mistake,

Messing with this Southern belle!

Keep your sights off me, Satan,

My soul is not for sale!
