"All that glitters is not gold" comes from John Dryden,
but a similar saying appeared earlier in Shakespeare,
and earlier still in Chaucer.

[Darksheare]

G'evening.

[Soaring Feather]

Evening, Darksheare.

Good nite poets

May the sweet aroma of Lily of the Valley
fill your dreams
caress your face
tenderly lull you to sleep
in the safety of knowing love...

~ Dream a Little ~ Love a Lot ~

Today

Should thou lovest me this day
I would be content in today
not ask for tomorrow...
But... live this day only
in splendor of knowing
thou lovest me today...

I Wake Today



I wake today,
get out of bed,
then stretch and yawn
and scratch my head.

I find my clothes.
I pull them on
while stifling
another yawn.

I grab a breakfast
bar for fuel,
and hoist my pack
and head to school.

When I arrive
I'm truly shocked.
The lights are off.
The door is locked.

I check my watch.
It's me, not them.
I overslept.
It's 4pm.

Good morning Sam!! LOL, today's poem!

Boy, have I had lots of those. Thanks for poetry, coffee, tunes and donuts. I'll get to the tunes in a moment.

There are days I wish I could sleep to 4pm.

[Soaring Feather]

You know, when one can, one does not.

Longfellow wrote, "Most people would succeed in small
things, if they were not troubled with great ambitions."

[NicknamedBob]

Ah-Hah!!

At last, the secret of my "success."

I am not troubled with great ambitions!

(Unless you want to count terraforming Venus, Earth, and Mars, and building starships and such -- but doesn't everyone want that?)

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning, Bob! LOL!!!

I have long maintained that the secret of happiness is finding contentment in small things.

The person who can only be happy by winning a million dollar lottery will never be happy. (Even if he wins -- by then he will have learned the habits of unhappiness!)

I try to be like John Denver's Uncle Matthew, "... and joy was just a thing that he was raised on, love was just a way to live and die."

Who else do you know who can "drink in" a breeze?

[Soaring Feather]

I agree.
Count our blessings one by one
do this when the day is done
greet the day whatever may be
we have just this one to be..

Run With His Stars

Tonight fire planets

crashing loud

crossed heaven

tingling a watcher

to love life with calm

and run with his stars.....
