" Thoughts are but dreams till their effects are tried. "
--William Shakespeare
... and some more of my favorites by Shakespeare: " The object of art is to give life a shape. "... and ... " How far that little candle throws its beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world. "
Weighed myself the other day... on the only scale here abouts that can at the health clinic in Georgetown ( CA ). Down to a svelte 160... kilos. O.K. I cheated ! Still about 352 lbs. ( avoirdupois ). Still... I thought I had done worse over the winter months. Time to retire the baked potato again.
Picked up (3) pairs of shoes at the thrift stores for less than $9 USD... (2) dress and (1) athletic. However I commissioned to have the nicer pair of dress shoes for a bit of re-pair for about $17 USD. The pair of dress shoes I had before is no longer a pair... but a single.
Groan !!! Gail and I took (2) of (3) kittens in for neutering/spaying from a litter a while back for $25 USD for the two. We recently discovered another litter of two(?) by a cat, "Spooky", who Gail and I thought not only was male... but was already 'fixed'. Spooky indeed ! HELP !!!
My entries... " Poetry in Motion" daily contest:
Love Blossoms
Silent float
the cherry blossoms
softly on
lovers clinging
Their souls
a oneness together

Tenet
Follow the Son
Heaven our reward
All of us
Peace... Love
His will be done

Shoreline
Tidal ejecta
strews shore... washed of gentle waves
Driftwood bleached sun-kissed

Sundow'n
D' bass dey hide now
leav'n dem d' shallows be
nite-time he'ya soon

" Love Blossoms "... Cherry blossoms as Love blossoms... or Love blossoms for the lovers... or ...
" Tenet "... My best attempt at a definition: a religious belief that is held true based on faith.
" Shoreline "... a Haiku: a shoreline... sigh !
" Sundow'n "... a Haiku: I thought to have a bit of fun with this piece. The photo for inspiration was simply a lake setting with a shoreline of trees off in the distance... with clouded sky at dusk.
Laso lok je ge !!!
C'ya.
