So, my mommy messaged me around the beginning of June and said that she was coming to get me around the 18th and keeping me until the 28th. I was not asked if I wanted to go…but I do.. so I am going. I will have internet, but I don’t know what I am going to be doing. So this is your warning. I will not be posting anything during those 10 days…I don’t know if I am going to be able to get myself back to work before the 5th of July (due to a cookout that I decided was a good idea for the fourth) I will be back to posting after the fifth. so please excuse my random disappearance. Have fun and be nice to each other while I am gone…
Wanna be loved every night Wanna know she’s only mine Breathe her in, give me life Got all these hearts in line They all wasting their time ‘Cause only you do me right
Baby, you should pick up the phone ‘Cause I’m wondering if you’re alone ‘Cause I’m driving down Sunset If you’re ’round, come get it If you come, come get it
I wanna be missed like every night I wanna be kissed like it’s the last time Say you can’t eat Can’t sleep, can’t breathe without me I wanna be held, fragile like glass ‘Cause I’ve never felt nothing like that Say you can’t walk Can’t talk, go on without me
Aren’t you tired every day? ‘Cause I run through your brain Hold me down, keep me safe This is as good as it gets Don’t you dare second guess Only want you saying yes
Baby, you should pick up the phone ‘Cause I’m wondering if you’re alone ‘Cause I’m driving down Sunset If you’re ’round, come get it If you come, come get it
I wanna be missed like every night I wanna be kissed like it’s the last time Say you can’t eat Can’t sleep, can’t breathe without me I wanna be held, fragile like glass ‘Cause I’ve never felt nothing like that Say you can’t walk Can’t talk, go on without me
Say, say you can’t eat Say, say you can’t sleep Say, say you can’t breathe You can’t breathe without me You can’t breathe without me
I wanna be missed like every night I wanna be kissed like it’s the last time Say you can’t eat Can’t sleep, can’t breathe without me I wanna be held, fragile like glass ‘Cause I’ve never felt nothing like that Say you can’t walk Can’t talk, go on without me
I wanna be missed, come hold me I wanna be kissed, come feel me Come, come make me feel missed (I wanna be missed) Come, come make me feel missed I wanna be held, come hold me I wanna be felt, come feel me Come on make me feel missed (come on make me feel) Girl, come make me feel missed Make me feel missed
My Two Cents-
It’s pride month and I couldn’t resist the urge to post a girlfriend song. I really enjoy this song. I am Pansexual. My blog is always a safe place for all. What is your favorite Gay song?
Hey, your glass is empty It’s a hell of a long way home Why don’t you let me take you? It’s no good to go alone
I never would have opened up But you seemed so real to me And after all the bullshit I’ve heard Refreshing not to see That I don’t have to pretend She doesn’t expect it from me
So, don’t tell me I Haven’t been good to you Don’t tell me I Have never been there for you Just tell me why Nothing is good enough
Hey little girl, would you like some candy? Your Momma said it’s okay The door is open, come on outside No, I can’t come out today
It’s not the wind that cracked your shoulder And threw you to the ground Who’s there that makes you so afraid? You’re shaken to the bone And no, I don’t understand You deserve so much more than this
So, don’t tell me why He’s never been good to you Don’t tell me why He’s never been there for you Don’t you know that why It’s simply not good enough
Oh, so just let me try I will be good to you Just let me try And I will be there for you I’ll show you why You’re so much more than Good enough
So, don’t tell me why He’s never been good to you Don’t tell me why He’s never been there for you Don’t you know that why It’s simply not good enough
Oh, so just let me try I will be good to you Just let me try And I will be there for you I’ll show you why You’re so much more than Good enough
My Two Cents- This song stuck with me. The person who I have always thought of when I have heard it is no longer welcome in my life…but the song still stands for the idea that I am enough. I don’t often feel like I am. I struggle with my own worth. I hope that those who are like me and struggle will hear this message. you don’t always see the ones that adore you for the perfect person you are. You are enough. You are more than enough. you are perfect.
I knew a man, called him Sandy Cane Few folks even knew his name But a hero, yes was he Left a boy, came back a man Still many just don’t understand About the reasons we are free I can’t forget the look in his eyes Or the tears he cried As he said these words to me
All Gave Some, Some Gave All Some stood through for the red, white and blue And some had to fall And if you ever think of me Think of all your liberties and recall Some Gave All
Now Sandy Cane is no longer here But his words are oh so clear As they echo throughout our land For all his friends who gave us all Who stood their ground and took the fall To help their fellow man Love your country and live with pride And don’t forget those who died America can’t you see?
All Gave Some, Some Gave All Some stood through for the red, white and blue And some had to fall And if you ever think of me Think of all your liberties and recall Some Gave All
And if you ever think of me Think of all your liberties and recall Yes recall Some Gave All Some Gave All
My Two Cents- This will post the day after Memorial Day. Those who listen to Country probably know this artist for the hit “Achy Breaky Heart” That song always pissed me off because this was the title track. It is so much better a song. It to me always personified Memorial Day. I debated about using it this week due to the fact that it will post the day after…But really the sentiment is good for any day. Though I have my issues with current American politics…I am a born and bred southern lady from the good ole US of A. My family has been a part of the country for several generations. My Great Grandfather was one of Pershing’s Own. He and my Great Grandmother and their Son Walton (A gentle soul that I loved as a child – Had Down Syndrome and was born during the time that Down Syndrome children were institutionalized. He played guitar and loved to spend time with me.) are buried not far from the tomb of the unknown soldier in Arlington National Cemetary. Great Grandfather was in World War I. By the time WWII came around, he had a family and my Great Grandmother refused to sign the permission slip for him to fight.
My stepfather – Bobby was a merchant marine.
My Aunt Elly was Navy.
My cousin (the eldest of us on my mom’s side) is a Marine.
My grandfather (Mom’s Side) was military – Though I don’t know much about him.
To all who served, and are gone, I remember you. Thank you for your sacrifice.
So I have a list of “Titles” for upcoming Poetry books. Some with a theme in mind…others not. I know I am supposed to do a cover reveal thingy for each book, but this feels more fun. These are not in progress yet. I did the cover design because it was fun. These are going to be the ones I choose from when my current volumes are written. The idea is that eventually, I will have a poetry book starting with each letter of the alphabet. Which do you like best…and Why?
This one has two possible…have yet to decide which I want. It will be general poetry.
This will be general poetry.
This will be general poetry…but I think I am likely to lean a little bit into the idea of addiction here…not sure.
This will be general poetry.
This will be general poetry.
This is one I am working on. It is going to be entirely Political poetry. I don’t know if I am going to stick to my standard rules as far as the number of poems inside or if I will adjust for the book. I do like how it is coming together so far.
Also In progress right now. It is general poetry.
This is probably going to be religious poetry. I have been considering this one hard.
General poetry. How could this title be anything else?
Again General.
This is another where I am not sure which I like better. This one will be written in letter format. A sort of Prose Poetry. I have the idea only so far.
This one is uncertain. I have already done one volume of Love poems. Still I love the imagery in the title and the cover I made is so nice…It will be there if I am ever ready to do a second one.
Another cover I am not sure which I like better…
General.
General. I actually made the cover for a different author. He didn’t like it, but I really loved it. so I had to find a use for it.
This is going to be all LGBTQIA+ Poetry. I am Pansexual and have thoughts on the Queer that I have yet to put to words… This is going to be me doing exactly that.
General.
This has another cover – But I really like this one better. This one suits me better. It will be general poetry.
General
General.
This is going to be me exploring various poetic forms. I am usually a free verse writer. I think that it would be interesting to do a book with at least one of each of the forms. This is going to be difficult to write, but I am looking forward to the results.
General.
Gemeral.
I use Evernote to write. It keeps me organized…I have a notebook on Evernote for each of my poetry volumes. I have these all organized under a stack labeled Future Poetry Volumes. I include the cover in each notebook so I don’t lose it. That being said…I have a file on my computer for Publishing. Inside the Publishing File is a file for Book Covers. I organize that file too…so the file where my book covers live on my computer has folders for each volume. I have folders in there with titles and no cover. Those have yet to get to the stage where I am ready to make covers for them, I may do this post again in a couple of years with those titles. I don’t know. They would have to make it into my Evernote for me to write in them. At this point, they are interesting titles and nothing more. The ones on this list are in the running to be my next volume…Heck, my next volume was on this list.
So, which title and cover did you like best? Why? Is there a theme you think I should consider? I end up doing two or three volumes a year most of the time. So I feel like I will be able to do this list without overreaching myself.
Oh! also the three I posted two covers for….Which cover would you choose for each one? I really am having a hard time choosing.
so I was so busy with yard work yesterday that I had no time to get the posts up. I am going to be at the computer later today, so I am planning to do this week today…but it will be late poetry and I thought I would warn you. thank you for your patience.
So aside from the terrible allergies that I suffer every year…the trouble with Spring is the weather is actually nice enough to get the yard cleaned up. That is for me in the form of hiring people who are able to do the work I cannot.
well I have to supervise and direct. So I am staying busy today. Add in the first of the month errands and I am likely to be super busy all week. I will try to post some interesting stuff as permitted by my schedule.
today I am posting from my phone while I am waiting for my kid to come back out of the gas station.
I have been busy with publishing and my blog has become more than I am capable of today. so I will wish you all the best and hope that I can do it during the week.
Today my youngest turns 18. The first picture was of her at around 6 months, the second at 16. (She still looks much the same) I was given the gift of a lifetime in her. I am grateful. Happy Birthday Gabrielle, and may you enjoy many more.
Lyrics- “L’il Red Riding Hood” (originally by Sam The Sham And The Pharaohs)
Hey there little red riding hood You sure are looking good You’re everything a big bad wolf could want
Little red riding hood I don’t think little big girls should Go walking in these spooky old woods alone
What big eyes you have The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad Just to see that you don’t get chased I think I oughta walk with you for a ways
What full lips you have They’re sure to lure someone bad So until you get to Grandma’s place I think you oughta walk with me and be safe
Gonna keep my sheep suit on ‘Til I’m sure that you’ve been shown That I can be trusted walking with you alone
Little red riding hood I’d like to hold you if I could But you might think I’m a big bad wolf so I won’t
What a big heart I have The better to love you with Little red riding hood Even bad wolves can be good
I try to keep satisfied Just to walk close by your side Maybe you’ll see things my way ‘Fore we get to Grandma’s place
Little red riding hood You sure are looking good You’re everything a big bad wolf could want
Little red riding hood I don’t think little big girls should Go walking in these spooky old woods alone
What big eyes you have The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad Just to see that you don’t get chased I think I oughta walk with you for a ways
What full lips you have They’re sure to lure someone bad So until you get to Grandma’s place I think you oughta walk with me and be safe
My 2 Cents- I know I have posted the song before. It is a favorite of mine. I felt like it is whimsical enough to bring a smile. I want to create smiles.
