I hope you all enjoy the holidays . more on that to follow . no poem this week because I've got to many things going but stay tuned for more next week.

its that time again! (part two)

Hi folks : Well its Thanksgiving time again and we've survived to reach it . So here's your poetic reward:

Thanksgiving 2009

Trees shine like stars and people flock to gatherings of home and hearth. the chance for a good feast is probable for the weatherman forecasts mashed potatoes and gravy with the chance of stuffing. enjoy the food cause the next day you burn off the calories by shopping.

see you next week.

one week left till party time !

Hi folks: Well it's nearly that time of year again ! Parties and trees and all the trimmings time to get settled for another year. no poem this week just a happy holiday wish. see you next week.

and on and on ....

Hi Folks: I just got back from a University Reading and it was a smash hit! the group is called rock pile and they're out of San Francisco. very passionate and worth seeing . now on to my not so humble poem of the week.:

The reading started

By Lawrence R. Berger

The saxophones lit the air with jazz

and the drums beat out the blues

the old poet walked with his cane to the stage.

The music lit the night like a thousand beacons shining
the poets words. They were measured like droplets of water

hitting your ears one by one . The mystic rhythms of the coffee house where brought to the theater and everyone left happy.

see you next week

The beat gose on!

Hi folks It's that time again so here goes . Things are working out for the better ans maybe just maybe I'll be having fun again. Anyway , Here's this weeks poem:

Great things happen
By Lawrence R. Berger

Some shine bright as the sun and fall to earth to make life bearable . Some only glow in the moonlight hiding like worms of the earth but like the worms they create soil for us to plant nutrients to sustain us every day. I think I'd rather be a worm today .

short and sweet. see you next week.

my brithday was happy!

a Friend made me pumpkin chocolate chip bunt cake and vanilla cupcakes with white frosting. Everybody called and wished me a happy birthday ! It was a blast! Here's this weeks poem:

Age before beauty

By Lawrence R. Berger

The annals of time have inscribed me for another year. I've grown older if not wiser which all things being considered is very surprising . I've longed to end my life for years now but so far i keep plugging along . here's to another year.

see you next week .

It's that time again!

My birthday is next tuesday, the 27th of October. so you can leave me messages between now and next weeks blog. I'll be 43 this year. I feel very old! But at least I'm not dead yet! And that's a good thing right? Anyway, here's this weeks poem:

Age before beauty

by Lawrence R. Berger

Time passes and brings a close to the seasons.

Summer winter fall or spring .

Roses bloom before they wither

and the trees bathe the forest year after year

in wonder us colors . Maybe before

I die I'll get in some wonderment too.

see you next week.
