Happy birthday to me!

Hi folks: Well it's official , as of today I've lived forty four years . I survived to see another birthday , but it's different now! Tom Bosley died last week as did a piece of my childhood. At a certain point I guess we all get old. Ive finally reach that point myself . So without waisting any more time here's this weeks poem :

Fate

By Lawrence R. Berger

Time stops for no one

from dust we came and

to dust we shall return.

The trick is to leave a mark while we're here!

Something that will outlive us and stand for all time.

I don't know what my legacy will be but it's high time I tried to find out!

Thanks for your comments!

Hi folks : Well the book is live on amazon.com, b&n.com and borders.com as well as from the publisher at www.iuniverse.com . I'm very excited and happy ! Here's this weeks poem :

Happy Days

By Lawrence R. Berger

Mr. C died yesterday at the ripe old age of 84

Richie was of making movies and had no comment .

Joni and Chachi were there crying and so

was Potsy.

The Fonz gave a stirring Eulogy

and Arnold Catered the affair.

I grew up on watching the show .

Mr.C taught me many things like the

millions of others who watched his show
i learned respect for my elders and how to be cool!

There are moments in life that you know

will affect you forever.

the loss of Mr. C is one of mine.

see you next week!

Bubble Gum

by Lawrence R. Berger

Soft and warm between my teeth
an old lover returns
sweet yet tangy inside my mouth
as over and over she dances
building ever more desire
slowly she turns up the heat
stoking the fire untill
her passions no longer confinable
she explodes ! Releasing the rapture of the moment.
And then
she slids along my tounge for
one more tango.

see you next week .
Buy lots of books! It's gift giving season after all.

Brrrrr!

Hi folks:

There's frost on the ground already and it's only October 13, 2010. this new year is flying by! But there is a saying here in Rochester, NY : If you don't like the weather here wait five minutes .It will change! These days though its changed for the worse one day and better the next. It's totally unpredictable! I feel sorry for the poor weather man. Anyway here's this weeks poem :

Snow blind

By Lawrence R. Berger

The flakes fall like dandruff

on the winter winds . Time to get

out the snow blower and shovels !

Everything looks surreal

and the poor trees caught still green

shiver along with the rest of us .

see you next week.

It's getting cold !

Hi folks :

Well the temperature is droping rapidly . Fall is here here's this weeks poem :

Sunset

By Lawrence R. Berger

The leaves turn to rainbows

and there's a chill in the air

the weather gets wetter

and clothes get heavier.

The moon hangs out longer

and you can count the stars in the sky

another summer has come and gone

man I feel old!

see you next week.
