Two white orchids seeming as one brought to my mind the unity of couples and the purity of a relationship and all that comes with that togetherness!

Look at us a planet near a star we shine so bright its the brightest blue, you can see us from afar! / It seems we have all kinds of folks come here from outer space they take one look at us and know its not too safe! / What is it that they see in us that makes them flee away? / Could it be the way we are? / Can they see it’s an evil place? / What reason could it be they just stop for just a peek? / Could it be that were the latest news on their local TV set! / It seems we have a lot of things that others can learn from. / If your looking for away to hang and maybe kill someone! / I can hear them say this on TV about our Bright blue planet! / It seems that love is not a thing that these creatures have in common! / They could learn a thing or two from the animals they keep in zoos! / Maybe they have witness us on their local TV sets! / No wonder that they come so fast and leave in just a blink! / I wonder why they visit us and never leave a clue? / Could it be that they don’t want us to come and visit them? / I bet on their local TV show they talk all about us! / Saying there’s a nice blue planet out there 20,000 light years away, it will take about an hour but you better stay away! / Except for all it creatures it a cool place you must see! / And for your own safety people please don’t touch down! / Heres what we learned about them so send the children out the room while we tell you this bad news!! / It seems to us that they all live in hate and misery! / And love to shoot and kill each other and show it on TV! / Each night they seem to get a charge when everything is bleak and someone’s dropped the biggest bomb on a crowded street! / This problems not just in one small town its in the big one’s too and even across their big blue sea its as if it was the flu! / They love all types of action sports and things that make them crazy! / But when its time to think about the big mess that they created, their leaders shut down business and their minds go on vacation! / What is it that these creatures have to make them act this way, to try to destroy the good in life and live a hateful way! / I think tonight on this report its best for us to say if you wanna visit some place safe…........ “stay away for that Blue planet!”

One of the flowers from my show and poems for her. As my eyes looked out from my burning bed I saw her jet black hair she was a korean beauty dressed in black down to her underwear. / She wore the latest styles from her head down to her toe’s. / And those tiny feet she had were wrapped in all the latest fashion, from Gucci to Montana. / She strolled the streets in her stiletto heels each day that she went shopping. / She spent money like it was water as if there were no borders. / She came from one of the riches family’s that Asia’s ever know and she never walked the streets alone, she had two big black body guards. / She worked with children when not shopping she taught them modern art. / Her passion was created by a brush,as it stroked a clean white canvas. / She took her kids to the Louvre to see all the latest masters. / And strolled the streets of Saint Germain searching for her secret passion. / Fashion was this beauty’s love as long as it’s made in Paris. / She knew the latest designers by first name, as she strolled in to their shops. / They brought her fancy little things to cover her sweet body. / She always bought them in jet black she said thats the only color. / She had them tailored to fit to her just like her fine silk gloves. / She strolled from one shop to the next her guards carried her big boxes. / She entered a small alley way with many cute small shops. / One this day in this fair city she came to this store window and thats when her jaw dropped. / Because sitting there in front of her was the best part of this day. / There had to be two hundred pairs, of designer shoes for her. / This was for her Disney land from wall to wall full of the latest styles. / And her body guards just took a breath and smiled at one another they knew her very well, and then they sat for three more hours as this lady took a look!

When I look at the children out there I wonder how it would of been for them with dads who were supportive? / What choices in life would they make with the right guidance? / And this is about fathers at sporting evens out of control attacking their sons coaches and then going to Jail as a result of their out of control actions! / But the big loser in all of this is the child and other children who see this action and think its the right way especially when its their dad, their leader, their roll model teaching them this sad reality! / So I thought about the flower you see here today as that sons soul and came up with this poem! / I don’t have a son so this is only my feelings on this subject! I watched a father tell his son he was stupid and dumb as he struck out in a baseball game! / His little shoulders hung so low from his daddy’s mean assault! / I sat and watched as he rant and raved about a silly game. / In front of all his little friends while he called him ugly names. / I looked at this it made me sad I thought this man was sick. / I wondered who he had learned this from because he was damn near crazy! / I stood up to say a word but my wife took me by the hand. / She looked at me and said thats his son do you understand me? / I asked her who had taught him that was the right way to be? / Hell its only a silly game so whys he so upset? / I sat back down so hard it hurt I was really really fuming. / My wife took my hand and squeezed it tight and looked at me in the eyes and said “he learned it from his daddy”! / And then she said I told you that many years ago, all the ugly things you said to him would come right back and bite you! / So as I sat and watched my son act stupid to his little son. / The only one I had to blame was me…...... because that was how I taught him!

now floating / in twinkling sunlight / smaller stars off her northern bow / this floating / fallen one / from the heavens / closer now / ...see inside / she has the heart of the sun… lily white dreams…xx

This is another flower from my show and poem for her. Children say the funniest things! What’s this thing called sex one girl asked the other as they watched two fly’s mating? / Looks like a long job if you ask me! / That fly on the top’s been there for 1 hour and hasn’t moved or acted like it was fun at all! / SO what’s the fuss all about? / And the one on the bottom seems to be sleeping so it can’t be all that exciting can it? / I think its gotta be something else thats making everyone talk about it like its something special! / Well maybe that’s what really happens my mother says it all the time to my dad. / What’s that? / You put me to sleep!

This is another of the flowers from my show and poems for her. We travel life’s uncharted roads without one moments fear. / As roads turn left and right in the dark you hold me close and dear. / I reach beside to feel you there my guide my strength my life. / And if I falter I know your arms will steady my resolve. / We will fight together as one true love no matter what the challenge. / As I reach out to feel you there you’ve always been my light. / Your love for me has always been the strength to push me higher. / And when I need a steady hand in my darkest hours your always there to steer our ship through life’s uncharted waters. / I look at you so strong and proud your faith in me has never wavered. / And that alone has given me strength to push our journey farther. / But through all of life’s uncharted roads the valleys and the cliffs. / And even when the road is black your still there beside my heart. / But above all this one thing I can clearly see….. / is your undying love for me.

One of the flowers from my show and poems for her. There was a club back in Manhattan’s upper West side where they had Jazz called Mikell’s it was a cool spot for great jazz. And unexpected entertainer’s just popped in and took over the nights entertainment and sing for hours! / I miss them days on 97th Street and Columbus Ave this is a tribute to them days. Hey Baby what took ya so long? You missed some singing tonight! / Them sweet singing sister were up on stage giving Billie Holiday justice tonight . / I think if Billy were in this joint she would of been down on her knees giving praise to them three lovely sisters. / Those three sweet sisters let it all out tonight even the minister got fired up! / An then he really got started singing along with each song, and then he started shouting an praising the Lord. / One of the guest here had to help the man out he was jumping and screaming so loud! / And this ain’t even sunday but his butt was jumping so I know tomorrows service is gonna be hot. / I told you don’t be missing this show here tonight, its not what you thought it would be. / I guess when I told you it was midnight mass you thought we were reading the bible! / But ooooooh it was religious the spirt was here tonight! / This place was jumping with so much delight it would rock even the dead. / They started out with their old melody’s that took us back to the time there was slavery. / And then they relaxed as we wiped all the tears, and the mood they improved with some Dixie. / Damn man why wasn’t you here you miss one hell of a show? / I am still shaking and my ears are still ringing from all the yelling and clapping they got! / So after they did Dixie they went even darker and sung a few tunes by Ella and baby that’s when this whole place started to rock. / And then they hit on a classy duet with some cat that could really sing his voice sounded like Sam Cooke. / And his voice was a lion as he matched each one of them with his scatting on two of their hottest numbers. / My man it was something too bad that you missed it but thats how it always go’s. / But that was the first half and then came the second but before that the folks hit the door! / This place was on fire and we all went for a breather just to get a little fresh air. / As we stood all around there was steam in the air that singing had everyone on fire! / I tell ya it was something you missed my good friend, but maybe its on somebody’s phone! / I never saw nothing like this in my life them phones looked like candle’s tonight! / Everyone was waving them things in the air, just to get one moment of this! / Damn man it a shame but my phones in the car but it’s all still fresh in my mind. / So they came out in the second all dressed up in pink satin, looking like 3 summer roses. / My God even their hair was looking sexy tonight as if they just stepped out the parlor. / And them pink pretty Gowns that they wore to ground made a music of its own as they moved. / It was really fantastic to see them tonight, but the color they wore was such a visual delight it was as if the gown was the star up on stage. / And as they came to the mike and started a tune the lights went down low and the whole place went black except the lights on their pink satin gowns! / As the light lit them up and that pink sprayed the room all you heard was the audience gasp. / But their singing was bold like the gowns that they wore as they complemented each other tonight! / My goodness I can’t tell you all of this now,my baby’s waiting for me in the hall. / But sorry you missed it but maybe next time you’ll make sure you have your ass here on time!

This is another one of the flowers from my show and poems for her. We all have been surprised at one time in our life this is one situation that happened! My door bell rang at 7 o’clock I was sleeping like a baby. / It was a TV show that I watched each day on morning television. / The MC was a funny man his co host as a knock out. / She was looking like a million bucks as I stood there dumbfounded. / They stuck the camera in my face as I wiped the sleep away. / My breath was smelling like a garbage can or better yet like a cow shit in it each morning! / I took a step back because I knew what came out of it each morning. / And this little host with all the most had already turned her face and frowned. / I tried to take a gulp, to push that flavor down, but not one drop of water was to be found in my mouth that morning! / So I stood there with my head turn down and tried to act real cool, but my damn breath had ended that so no use trying to be Brad Pitt. / They got right down to the point that I had won a million dollars! / And that’s when the camera light came on an I was to act real surprised! / They said just do a little jump and wave my hands real crazy. / Well hell that didn’t take much effort a million dollars helps a lot to make this really easy. / So I told them I could do the twist if that was what they maybe wanted. / They said just do the best I can to make it look real. / They said now was the time to jump as they counted down from 10. / The show was live so the camera went live and I started to do a dance! / An then the MC with the most put his mike up in my face. / His little host kept her distance as she told me what I won. / I shook his hand and my eyes rolled and I acted like I was crazy. / I did a jump and hit me head I forgot the door frame was above me. / They asked me if they could come in to my house to sign the winning papers. / I rubbed my head and said that was great just come on in we’ll sign it on the table. / They came in to my dirty house to set the pen to paper. / It seemed that I had won a prize that would set my life a new. / And now they sat in my living room with beer cans all around. / I hadn’t had a chance to clean I was gone away all week on business. / And just got back last night!. / And the camera man kept his camera on as he zoomed around my house. / I left all types of filthy things still sitting on my table. / Sitting there was my whips and chains and my Black plastic suit and hood! / The ball that I liked to have my friend put in my mouth was sitting big and bright. / And the handcuffs that I liked to get tied up with was shining like a mirror. And the big brown paddle that would spank my bottom when we played adult games, was sitting there as big as day for all the world to see! / And damn it if the camera man didn’t miss a single thing! / From my whips of leather and my spiked heel shoes and all my little play things. / The MC with the bright white hair looked me in the eye, and gave me such a silly smile I thought that I would die. / He said to me if I would please could I sign on the dotted line! / And as I bent down to sign on the dotted line oh hell no my little friend fell out! / Oh no! I said, I wanted to drop dead and that damn camera man didn’t miss a thing he zoomed right in on my little friend! / I could of spanked his little bottom! / Well I stuck him in and took the pen and pushed the plastic mask away. / And then my life took a different spin I became real rich that day. / And then the man with the real white hair and his pretty little cohost acted real excited and talked real fast to make the TV world all excited! / This lasted all of 20 minutes this show was live that morning. / And then my phone starts to ring off the hook my fan club had been started. / I let the phone ring off the hook as I finished this little program. / They turned the camera off I said good bye to the MC guy and his silly camera man! / But to my surprise the little host she stuck around for just a minute. / And then she said heres my number Fred I got a rubber suit thats red!

This is another of the flowers from my show and poems for her. I am not looking for a place to go I like it right here so if your thinking about Mars then you can forget about me. where Riding in the heavens looking for a home! / While right here on this great blue planet is where I wanna be. / I don’t need to be no pioneer looking for a home. / When right here is the place I wanna be. / What’s out there in that darkness that they call space. / I can’t breath with out a a plastic bubble wrapped around my head. / And what’s out there that my governments running to so fast? / Is it maybe something that they can make a little money from while they lie to us again? / I don’t need to be no pioneer its fine for me right here. / We still got loads of problems but I think that we can solve them if we work a little harder. / And what about them Mars people living underground they covered their planet to look like no ones home. / And here we come knocking acting like were friends. / But I bet their not as stupid as the noble red man was. / I know their waiting for us to come acting like were their friends. / And then I bet they tell us first to get the hell back home. / And when we start to make a protest they blast us off their planet. / And send us back with a note that says don’t you come again. / I am happy with my planet I can do just what I want. / Maybe we take some of that money that we spend on Mars, and try to build a better place so we can all survive. / I am happy with my planet I don’t wanna go to Mars.

Hair color thats too crazy makeup thats real wild!! / So what!! / Thats my style and what’s wrong with that? / So what if I dress with flair thats my thing and not yours! / I don’t ask you why your boyfriend look’s so dull in that plaid suit? / I don’t ask you why you look like a little Barbie Doll and your boyfriend looks like Ken do I? / I don’t ask you why your running around looking like Paris Hilton! / My styles mine and I ain’t no carbon copy. / So you miss thing need to get on up and find a style thats yours! / So what if I got tattoos all over my face its mine and why don’t you give it a try. / So what if you don’t like my face and the piercing that I got. / Its mine to do with it what I want thats the beauty of freedom. / I am not saying anything about the way you look so why you making problems? / Your sitting there pointing fingers and laughing in my face. / Talking about the way I dress and the color of my hair? / So please if it bothers you, just don’t look! / So you asking me what I am protesting ? / Well baby its you!

This is another of the flowers from my show and poems for her. She was a thing of beauty so perfect and so pure. / And as my thoughts ran over her I wondered more and more. / How can a thing so small and fine offer me such joy? / And if I make a wrong move she brings me so much pain. / I want to touch her soft smooth skin and smell her close to me. / But when I move too fast for her she bites me on the hand. / I think she will teach me fast how to handle her. / Or I might need to keep my distance until I finally learn. / A rose is like a woman too rough and she will bite. / But when you use a softer hand you’ll never fear her anger. / And once you learn to treat her kind she’ll be yours for life.

This is another one of the flowers from my show and poems for her. Look at us complicated creatures living on this planet. / As we fight to survive not giving one moments care how we touch each other. / Are minds are made of tiny cells big enough to think. / And somewhere in the wiring we found away to hate. / Somewhere in the wiring we find all types of flaws. / Some of us are angry and some of us hate all. / And some of us know good from bad. / And others break the rules. / And some of us are too small to see the bad in others. / Somewhere in the wiring we fight to be seen while we step on anyone to make it to the top. / And somewhere in the wiring some of us don’t care. / And thats when we see in the news that someone went crazy. / And somewhere in the wiring we need to tighten screws.

This is another one of the flowers from my show and poems for her. You ever think that you might crack up and go a little crazy? / I have when I look at all the silly stuff we do. / Have you ever been in a traffic jam and someone behind you is blowing his horn? / But there’s no where to go and that idiot sees that we are all stuck in the same pot that really makes me boil. / But he still wants to act up he keeps blowing on his horn. / And then the next guy in a car tells him to shut up. / And then he gives him the finger and then a fight breaks out! / I think someone just gone a little crazy. / Have you ever seen someone in the super market come and cut in front of the line? / While we all wait like were suppose to do until its our time. / And then someone speaks up and says go to the back. / And then the guy who’s cut in front wants to start a fight! / Looks to me like someone’s gone a little crazy. / Have you ever watched someone tell you its your fault even though you saw them do it along with every body else. / Have you ever been told to call at a certain time and then the person that your callings gone for the day. / Have you ever called the phone company and then they say push 1 and when you do they tell you to push the number 2. / And when you do press that that number a voice comes on an tells you to push the number 3 and then you do that voice again telling you that numbers wrong. / Have you ever thought you might go a little crazy if they were standing there? / Have you ever thought you would kill that voice on the other end? / And what about when they keep telling you your phone bills over due. / You know you payed it weeks ago you put it in the mail and then they cut your phone off because they say its 10 days over due. / And then they tell you your to blame when they have made a mistake, and now your sitting with out a phone because they don’t give a damn. / So you call again and get that voice it tells you to press 1 and then you do and that voice again tells you to press 2. / And then you do and that voice again tells you if you speak spanish then this is the place for you! / You should of pressed number 5 if your speaking english. / And now you have to start all over from the number 1 and then to 2 and then to 3 and that when it that voice again. / That voice again comes on again and ask you what you want and then it tells you that your wrong you should of pushed number 5. / Damn your making me crazy I did it by the rules. / I pushed the 1 I pushed the 2 and all the way to 4. / And here you come once again telling me I am wrong. / And then to smack me in the face you tell me that in spanish. / I payed my bills to you jerks 2 weeks before its due. / And here you come with the same old voice telling me I am late. / And then I call to complain you tell me to push 2!! / And now I get a letter telling me your sorry that the computer was all wrong. / And then you tell me that I payed my bill 2 weeks before its due! / So you tell me to call at 9 and ask for Bob the manager. / And when I do that voice again says to me that this is the wrong number! / You ever feel a little crazy and wanna kick a little butt? / Then call your local phone company and press number 2!

You and I we touched one another. / And out of that touch came a commitment to one another. / And out of that commitment came a love for one another. / And out of that love came a life together. / And from that life together comes the journey. / The journey to share our love commitment and life together. / What a wonderful journey that has been. / I am so glad you chose me.

Oh No
by David RomanThis is another one of the flowers from my show and poems for her. “Oh No” I had a hard time when I saw her she was so sweet to kiss. / Her lips taste like a peach to me so soft to my young lips. / And as I gently tried to think her lips were closed on mine. / And then I was caught up in this ever lasting pleasing song. / Oh no was not an option as I fell so fast again. / My mind was in a dizzy spin as it tried to grasp this feeling. / She did something with her warm soft lips and pulled me close to her. / And that’s when I lost my mind and she took full control of me. / Oh no! / Was not an option to my mind that day. / It simply was a moments thought as her lips commenced to play. / She twisted me in every way with her loving kiss. / And then she took me to a place where only Gods exist. / My mind exploded to the roof collided with my senses. / An then I realized this was no game my feelings had exploded. / And then she raised my body to the clouds and dropped me back to earth. / I shook, I trembled, I could not speak. / Then she looked me in the eyes and said that was good for starters.

Fall has drifted in again with it usual flair. / Bringing with it gold and ruby leaves that touch the moist ground. / And if you bend and pick one up you wonder about its smell. / I always say to myself this must be Gods washed hair.

This is another one of the flowers from my show and Poems for her. I am at a Lost for words when we come together. / Sometimes that can be a problem on the first date. / But with you my friend there is no stress to impress you with my charm. / I am 14 and I think your great, but words escape my mind. / Its not that I don’t like you, I really really do. / I don’t think you want to sit and talk sports with me. / But as I sit here with you close, that’s enough for me. / And as you sit and hold my hand I guess you think that too. / I really like the Yankees Dave, do you like them too? / And as I sit and hold your hand I think oh boy she likes the Yankees too.

Mikes a Redbubble fan too! / Maybe I need to check into that when this mess is over I got some flowers that maybe they would like. / But thats if we survive this mess. / I’ll be in the back Alan if you need me just give me a call on the air phone. / Will do. / Hey Ajax hey Janeymac are you still out here? / Yea Dave over by the pool. / Hey Dave look at this its the collar from my dog! / Ajax did you take that off or maybe it was too loose? / I never take it off and it was always tight around his neck. / Dave! Dave! come here quick this is from Trudi’s dog! / Its his Collar and he’s real mean no one could touch that dog. / And there’s the others dogs collar too and he was just as mean. / The only one that could touch them dogs was Trudi and she was even nervous of them! / Well did anyone see anything that might of seemed real strange. / No we were in the house waiting to see that video and then we noticed that the dog’s were gone so we took a look. / Did you hear or see anything that you thought was strange? / No nothing was out of place it was just a little misty but that all! / So what’s that 8 dogs that are missing from the yard? / Somethings not right with this I think we better stay in the house until its light outside. / Someone’s calling from the house. / Hey Dave Hey Dave !! / What’s wrong Alan? / Come into the house that woman’s here the one that talks to flowers! / She’s looking really nervous! / She says her flowers are all crying and closing up real fast! / And one she said told her that something’s coming thats real bad! / Ajax, ,Janeymac lets get in the house now!! / But Dave my dogs still out here and I can’t just go in! / To stay a little longer might be a big mistake and thats not what I want! At least not in my back yard! / And the dogs are gone Janeymac so lets not make a fuss! / Ajax you take Janeymac and lets all go in the house! / So come on in and lets all see what this woman says! / Hold on a second what’s that there? / Where? I don’t see anything! / Right there by the bushes it looks like its moving! / Where? where? the bushes by the pool? / No on the other side by the guest house right there on the side! / Don’t move or it might run away I think its someone watching! / Hold on I’ll circle round the house and come up from the back! / And if it comes this way and its not human then run into the house! / Dave don’t go this could be that thing thats taken all the dogs! / I don’t think so its standing up on two legs I think its one of the neighbors. / I’ll take a look so keep your eyes on it. / And remember run if its not human! End of Part 8

Excerpt from the poem “Volcanic Fury” by Connie Estes. / ........... / “Crowned by a halo of clouds / Her ambiguous physique / Casts an illusion that fades her frame / Into the vaporous mist above her / She murmurs a deep rumble / Then with a mighty gesture / She quakes the earth below”............ Featured in “Insomniacs and Other Night Crawlers” group.

Inspirational Series / ........................................... We are frail in this life / Never knowing when challenges will strike / Challenges that will threaten our existence / And put into doubt our ability to endure / We who are strong should bear the failings of the weak / So that they may know the peace of ‘holding on’ and ‘getting through’ / Coming out edified at the other end / For what has happened before will happen again / And it is through encouragement and endurance that we persevere / It is God whispering through our hearts and minds / That gives us divine understanding of the promises our creator / Showers over us in times of need / So it is with a calm spirit of unity that we move forward / With one heart © Donna Hickerson Inspired by Romans 15: 1-6

A Bridge to the Future Roads that wind round canyon walls / Like corridors round learning halls / Points of light there on the ground / Will draw you with familiar sounds Gather there the tools you need / Advice is there for you to heed / Spread the word as given you / And do the work you’re supposed to do Travel where your heart does tell / Let your knowledge serve you well / Things will flow as to their course / You need not fear, or push, or force All things come as time dictates / Though time has come for what you wait / The door is open once again / A bridge for futures now and then. / Author Unknown / Photograph taken in Michigan while on vacation.
