special edition

Hi folks: What with Michale Jackson and Farah Faucet dying so young and the world in morning I thought it might be appropriate to issue a special edition of this blog . So, here's the poem :

Moonwalk with Angeles

by Lawrence R. Berger

Every generation has its heroes

and they forget that their idols are mortal too.

folks admire a life well lived and fantasise

that spark fame can be greater than the idols can bear

Pin up pictures and music videos changed

the way we see entertainment

ultimately its the memories that build

a legacy. These two now sleep with the Angeles

the world is in morning and icons are being canonizes

in record stores everywhere.

his children did not lose any money from his last tour that can't be made up of

memorabilia sales for there own kids foundation . Do not weep for the children but for their parents who made us all sing.

Hi folks !

Another week has come and gone, hard to belive its Thursday already . half the year is gone now. I've got a lot to show for it but hers this weeks poem:

June bug

by Lawrence R. Berger

they say that when life hands

you lemons , you should make lemonade

but that assumes you've got the water, a pitcher

and maybe a few ice cubes too.

Sometimes lemons contain their own rewards

just don't let the mosquitoes get you down.

Summer time

by Lawrence R. Berger

The Rain falls slowly now

the ground is dry and the sun is warm for a change .

time for bathing suits and the ice cream man to

brighten our lives with happy memories to sustain
us through the winter till we see our friends again .

I survived!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi folks : Well the Gasocpy showed the problems it was meant to detect and I'm still alive ! So here's this weeks poem:

Throat spray

by Lawrence R. Berger

In side the hospital

they take my name and numbers

two hours later I see the anesthetist

and we go for the lungs.

I can see the lights of the surgical bay

and they are the last things that I see

before I close my eyes .

when next I open them

I'm in the recovery room

I see a clock that tells me the procedure

took about ten minuets after subtracting

the shedualed recovery time

I'm pissed but still groggy

so i keep my mouth shut

they hand me my clothes

and I get dressed to go home

Half an hour later it get my ride and leave the hospital

I get home

make my follow up appointments

and eat an egg salad sandwich

Life has its moments.

not bad for just out of surgery eh?

Oh and by the way, check out my new website at: www.skysaje.com

if you get the chance.

and so it begins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi folks : Thanks again for all your support and feed back! you'll find that I've Incorporated your suggestions starting this week. That being said, here's this weeks poem:

Sharing

By Lawrence R. Berger

Together we stand

united this world .
One watches out for another
and forms the bond of love
to produce the next generation.

Years pass and days grow into
them like the mighty oak grows from a tiny
Acorn. Sooner or later the journey ends
and till then we find ourselves
forever learning and never
coming to the knowledge of the fact that
it's the journey that makes like worth living!
thank you for sharing mine!
