The Quiet One

Cursed at -

Today I cursed at the few snowflakes that fell this morning. Normally I would smile at them as they drift down.

Not this time!

Winter is really hanging around this year. Right now it's about 27F, Brrr and Ugh!! All week it has been cold as it never really went above 40F. I'm at the point to think that Winter has locked Spring in a dungeon. 

Next month is the NaPoWriMo challenge and this year, I not doing it. Half the poems I write for it get deleted anyway. So not wasting my energy and besides, lately I've stopping visiting poetry blogs. I just don't really care for the poetry that's been published lately.  There's something missing from the poems. Sorta like a sense of magic is missing from them or a spark of life.

Oh course I don't write the easiest poem to read either. In fact the only poetry I read on a blog is Sharon's . Lately I've been adding some artist's blogs to the roll. Maybe that's why I have been happy with my poetry lately. I've step back into my little quiet world, writing only for this I and not the rest of the world.

Buds are opening

Well for some people this a welcoming sight! For other, it's time for some groaning due to their allergies. Me I'm just happy to get this picture. It was a wonderful day. The sky was this wonderful blue and the sun was bright. I check the weather reports, no sign of snow or colder temptures sneaking back either.

Went the dentist today. I'm done with the filling part and now onto the two root canals. Probably be done in May. Parents are going to pay that. Thank You!. After that is done, it will be time deal with the top teeth. But right I'm glad the fillings are done. It wasn't too bad. Right now, the jaw is a little tender.

Good news with NaPoWriMo. I'm going to tried to finshed it. I miss last night, I just could not come up with anything. There are days where I just feel like I'm just retreading old stuff. But I know these past two months have been crazy with the dental stuff. Maybe when it's over, I can relax a bit.

Watching the Yankees and Boston game. So far the score is 2-0 Yankess leading in the bottom of the 4th. Sox has a runner on first with two outs. All I can say. GO YANKESS!!

Opps Sox just hit a home run and the score is tie. :(

Nice thing about the darkness

The nice thing about the darkness is I don't see the crazy snow falling anymore. Why I should be nice, it did give a day off. So all day it snowed, ddin't get the foot of snow more about 3 inches of the blasted snow. Yea I'm tired of it.

Yesterday it just pour for most of the day. I work Sunday's at a library. Was hoping for a quiet day, nope ! Crazy people had to come out and pay me visit. Well at least this week, everybody cleared at before closing. Be nice to the librarians. LEAVE BEFORE CLOSING TIME. That's the most annoying thing people do at the library. You tell them "Well be closing in 10 minutes"  and at at 1:58 pm. They still haven't check at their stuff.

Here are some the NaPoWriMo poems

I was able to type up some the poems. Like last year. I just wrote the poems and later on I'll decide which ones I'll keep. Couple of the poems, I was just having a little fun with. Can't be serious all the time.  A reminder, all grammer errors are not intentional.

April 1

Even a line of a poem
can measure the day, claim by fools.

I played no jokes,
this poem could be the joke.
If the raindrops are the laughs
the line was successful.

April 2

Camera and the moon
and the moon
         is smeared with the lens.

No tell the truth.
It captured the emotion
Of the shooter.

Belonging, not to the edge
or the dance of uncertain.

But of the quiet me
waiting only to -

Wanting of what?
When you are at that age
of plain too old and reality.
So real as the moon,

You wish to write
       one simple poem on.

April 3

Yes, it’s better
to leave the words in the pen.

Than telling the world
your old stupid news.

Apr 8

Snowflakes
    finding the Easter’s eggs

a comfortable bed.

Wake Up!!!!

Hurry up and open some more. Well actually you're better just as is. There's snow in the forecast. Yes that dreaded word is back in use in the weather forecast. Ugh! The way I'm reading it, 1-3 of the damn white stuff!  Like all good storms, the day before was beautiful. Took a walk and got some great shots, despite really nothing to shoot.

Good news to report, got a new printer. Brought the Canon Pixma iP6700D. The color is amazing but my old Epson was not a photo printer. Part of me still wanted another Epson but will give the Canon a tried. Went to B&H Photos, ordered another set ink and some Canon photo paper. The leftover Epson paper is working great, so I can use that up. But now with new printer I'm now back in the mood to work on my photos.

To those who are coming here looking for my NaPoWriMo poems. I have them done, up to yesterday but just haven't gotten to typing them up yet. Depending what happens at the dentist on Fri, I'll be typing them up and posting them that night. If not, it will be Saturday afternoon. Sorry about that

Happy Easter!!!!

Happy Easter!!!!

Hope everybody is enjoying their Easter day. I'm spending it watching snow flakes drift down.

Here are two my NaPoWriMo poems. The rest I'm working on when I get off. Almost had a slight panic attack last night, misplaced the poems. Now they're sying in a folder. All grammer errors are intentional, my learning disablity being a pain. Enjoy!

April 4

Sun must love the color grey.
The whole day, was locked into this.
Even after the yellow sorry’s were uttered.

Yes the budding trees and dead grasses
were the shades of a couple browns.
And the grey rocks are specked with the lichens
Oh yes, the sun and sky never did turn grey.

But the day was grey.
Even my red heart turned to that.
What does time say about this?

Nothing-

He’s lives in the land of black,
where nothing can be altered
and I, banished from his colors.
For these blue eyes spied another love.



April 6

I’ll take a silence of words
for a week, instead of seeing
snowflakes collecting on a chair.

It’s April,  forward not back stepping
to the mixed February.

Where to follow, when really
all ths snowflakes are the same.
Shape, color and death.

I want to clasp the tree buds
in the palm of my hand.
Whose warmth will be felt?

Snowflakes, snowflakes, go away, please!
Leave me with Spring’s pull towards the May’s sun.
Oh, should brought those flowers for warmth.

Not feeling bitchy today

Ah finally a day where I don’t feel crampy, depress or bitchy. Yea sorta a rough week with the blasted period,it was a month late and I suffered for it.  Then make thing even more jolly, since Thursday’s afternoon. this area has been getting snow showers. Hey it’s April not January. Well it is payback for the warm December we had.

So now I sit at this computer, typing up this post. I’m offline, so have no idea when the last time I posted. Still trying to decide on a new printer. Dropped the Epson R800, too many issues. So now it’s toss up between Canon Pixma Ip 6700D or the Epson R380. I really love Epson’s print quality but the ink is a tab costly. Keep hearing reports this printer just gulps down ink but I was wondering if people are just printing all their photos they take. Oh Yea! You’ll go through ink that way. I don’t do that. I only print out the really good one, rest can stay on the harddrive.  The Canon got good reviews and sorta leaning to that one. But if I remember right, the ink is not waterproof. There’s been mention of the photos fading after a months. I think in the end I’ll have to do some trade off.

NaPoWriMo has started again and I sign on. Almost miss it. I went to the wrong blog for the info. Then Sharon (who is finally back and posting regularly too) provided the right blog. I have done the daily poems, all have a bitchy tone to them. I’ll work on them tonight. Either post them tomorrow or Sunday. With no printer, the photos have taken a back seat. So this weekend belongs to poetry.

 

At Midnight

I think majority of the poets who took part of the in the challenge, will be celebrating that it’s over. Ok maybe that’s a stretch. maybe a tab bit too much.he challenge was fun and challenging to do but  I rather I focus on the quality than on quantity. What I’m going to do, is after I’m done typing up all the poems. Put then aside for the month. The decide who stays, who’s going be rewritten and who will be toss into a black hole. A few will be toss If I’m severe enough. Just have to wait and see right now.

But I like I said before. I did enjoy the challenge immensely. There’s nothing like looking at the clock and you have one hour to come up with poem.  I still have write todays but I’ll do that later. Right now I’m more in the mood of enjoying the last day of April. Which already May is sneaking in with promise of some really lovely days. Another week, hopefully more leaves will come out. As for flowers, not much just some violets are out. They are forecasting rain for later in the week. Need rain here. Maybe that convince the trees to really wake up. I miss the sound the of the wind passing through leaves, especially when there is a approaching storm. Just need to been patience. 

It's raining poems

Ok I'm so way behind in posting these poems and typing them up too. This weekend I'm going tried to play catch up. I'll just post what I have done so far. A few poems went temporary Awol for awhile.

April 15

Not all the gold can save me.
Not even sent by a worried lover

But I never love gold.
and love can be lost.

So I will walk.

As a condemn person
into the rays of the spring sun.

You Know----

 You can’t type up NaPoWriMo poems, if they haven’t revise first. I have no idea what made me think they were ready. So a few got type up and I got to figure who goes with what date. Part of me will be glad when this month is over. I love the challenge but could we do this  in Feb Just joking :=)
