Word Play: January 2012

http://wordplaywithdeb.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html

Monday, January 30, 2012. For those you thought I wouldn’t make it. For those who didn’t think I could. For those thought I didn’t have in in me. For those who thought I wouldn’t go the distance. To me who doubt I could. For those who thought I could write 31 poems. I made it through Mop12. I survived and thrived! Posted by Debbie Chilton. Scottie wanted me,. To tell you of his. To teach the other. Slugs a thing or two. And how to say thank you. Scottie wants to play. Skittles with his guests. If they&#8...

Word Play: January 2013

http://wordplaywithdeb.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

Monday, January 28, 2013. Too much rain they cried! Desperate for rain we held over breath,. Hopeful as dark clouds gathered in the skies,. As the grey clouds burst their tears,. Too much rain, too much rain we cried. No not so soon! But they were on our TV screens again. There been too much rain, they cried. They tear flowed, we prayed,. We hoped and pray some more,. Until the river broke its banks again,. There been too much rain, they cried. We stand and watch in disbelief,. As watch our river rise,.

Word Play: April 2012

http://wordplaywithdeb.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Sunday, April 15, 2012. Puddles and Poets In The Park! The poets gathered once again to feast on food and poetry, in the puddles of Walloon. The poets came from everywhere just by smelling out the food. ‘Must be Ipswich Poetry Feast time dear,’ The Goodna Gunner said to his wife! And this year the grey skies let down their silent tears. Then came out the Sow and Sow’s to present their patchwork quilt to the captains of the school and a new tradition was born. Local artist, poet and historian Judith Baker...

Word Play: Be Still

http://wordplaywithdeb.blogspot.com/2013/01/be-still.html

Wednesday, January 16, 2013. The room is still. Planted on firm foundation,. Creating balance and space,. The room is still,. Its walls do not move,. But the flooring does,. In case the paint goes splat. The room is still,. As is the door frame,. But the furniture evolves,. From coach to day bed and back,. The room is still,. Its walls don’t move,. But the art that hangs on it does,. The wind blows them down. The room is still,. As is the door frame,. But items go in an out. The room is still,. And let t...

Friday, November 30, 2012. I’m not dreaming of snowflakes,. Nor reindeer hoofs on the roof,. I expect no jolly old man in a red suit,. And there’ll be no mistletoe over the door. But I’ll deck out the Christmas tree,. With its bright green leafy leaves,. Bring out my Christmas angels,. To remind you what Christmas means to me. The tree speaks of spring and new life,. A tree that would die one day to become a cross,. The angels who sang of the birth of a king,. I’ll set up my nativity scene,. It’s a...

Saturday, March 31, 2012. To keep . . . Pretty things don’t belong in boxes,. They show be opened and enjoyed,. Savoured and consumed as designed,. Pretty things shouldn’t sit in boxes. The box is clear I can see and enjoy,. The brilliance of the hot pink bottle,. That holds a scent once open is toxic to me,. Some times pretty things do belong in boxes. Pandora’s Box . . .

Word Play: Ode To Badhdad

http://wordplaywithdeb.blogspot.com/2013/04/ode-to-badhdad_24.html

Wednesday, April 24, 2013. Rubble lies in waste of war torn Iraq,. Shattered faces filled the streets of Baghdad,. Children now play in the piles of rubble,. The sounds of war, broken their ‘peace bubble’. Scurrying through bricks and mortar melted in tar,. For treasures that may take them both near and far,. Like the big red wagon with its busted wheels,. To a land of freedom their spirit yields. At alas this is their homeland which for many holds pride,. Hidden in the rubble for their mothers they cry,.
