Second Wind

Sweet Peas:
Let's build up a second wind here by writing some poems about second winds, second chances, and not giving up during times when we have felt beat and wanted to quit.
All Peace and Love,
Jeanne
PS: I am counting poems and will soon award fabulous prizes, some hardly ever used, to the three most prolific poets on the Blog, so get with it.

Change

Sometimes it is as subtle as a shadow
Sometimes it comes at us like Thunder in a storm
All you have to do to see it is look out the window
It is always with us, if we care to open our eyes

It can be a good
It can be a harsh
It can be timely
It can be unexpected

We all have different ways of dealing with it
Some face it head on and roll with it
Some run from it and hide, but it is always
there waiting.
It will happen no matter what we want
It can bring great joy or sadness
Depends on how you look at it.
It is usually a growing experience
Something to look back on and wonder what if...

That is what Change is all about

Monkeys

There are monkeys in my bathroom
two of them and they are playing in the tub
Splashing water to and fro,
from here to there.

These two monkeys are not pets, by any means
They are as mean as monkeys, but they dont
throw poop.

Sometimes they could be butlers
If I could manage to train them that well
No matter how rotten these two monkeys
are they are still my favorites
They are actually my two little boys,
who I love to call monkeys as pet names.
