From the Poetry Page: A Love Poem



 She

The beautiful soul of an angel and the vengeance of the devil, A lovely mind and an adventurous drive to do better. There is depth in that heart opened for the world to revel. A combination to die for, I love her and I just met her.

There is something pleasing in her smile that traps you, A gorgeous set of eyes to drown in and an electric touch. Shapely long legged vixen, bouncing, body attacks you. Sweet pheromone, heat, and purring, indulging too much.

A caring and concerned knowledge of truth and nature. She can charm the hardest of heart to reconsider it's path, And fight off evil with a strength bold and sure. All her children she protects with a powerful wrath.

Can she be held, loved, and possessed by anyone?

Never will that ever happen, she is a loner and a self sustainer.

To love her is to be allowed to love, until she is done.

She is a giant of her gender, who controls her entertainer.

She knows her standards are high but not unreachable, giving a hundred percent to her lover and expecting the same. Her judgment is like a rock, her authority is un-impeachable. Living and loving is serious business, not just some game!

If she cares for you enough to give you her heart, Listen and be diligent if she holds you in her arms. She can give and give until it tears her apart, then stop it all, stop love and ending charms.

God, what a beauty! A man could be blessed, having had those eyes turn and twinkle at you. Your weak, warm and vulnerable at best, Swimming, lost so deep into those eyes shocking blue!

God, how I wish she could be happy with a soul mate,

Remember the one that loved her the most, the one she drove the maddest.

Will she hunger for what she already had on her plate?

May she look over her shoulder whenever she feels the saddest.

Tornadoes Ravage Midwest and South: How to help



Multiple tornadoes swept through the Midwest and South this week leveling small towns and leaving a swath of devastation in their wake. But even as residents struggled to clean up, a new wave of storms and tornadoes hit the region again on Friday. From the Gulf Coast to the Great Lakes, powerful storms March 2 touched nearly all walks of life in the second deadly tornado outbreak this week. Earlier in the week, the Midwest and South were rattled by 33 confirmed tornadoes that left 29 people dead.

Below are organizations that are working on relief and recovery in the region.

American Red Cross: Red Cross workers in Missouri have opened shelters and are providing meals for displaced residents. Additional workers are fanning out in affected neighborhoods to begin assessing the extent of the tornado damage. In Kansas, tornadoes damaged homes and search and rescue teams are searching for missing residents in the wreckage. Red Cross chapters are opening shelters and serving meals to those affected as well as emergency responders. Donate here.

Salvation Army: The Salvation Army is providing support in Harveyville, Kansas. Emergency Disaster Service volunteers from Topeka are on the scene providing meals, snacks and drinks to first responders, survivors and clean-up crews via mobile feeding kitchens. The Salvation Army is also offering emotional and spiritual support to those in need. Donate here.

Obama: Disrespect for the President of the United States vs. Insulting the Man.

I have expressed my negative opinion of Obama here on this blog in the past. Still, I have never blatantly insulted him or his administration( I allow him to do this to himself). As a veteran I have to have a measure of respect for this high office as the President is the military's Commander in Chief. 

Yes, this is America where we enjoy the freedom of speech, but where is the line drawn? When does it become personal or even detrimental to one's character? 

Well, I think this add has taken things to a new and personal level and if I was Barack I'd punch someone in the nose.

The sign says:

"Barack Obama wants politicians and bureaucrats to control America’s entire medical system.

Go to hell Barack." -this is unacceptable.

These I could easily accept:

'No way in hell, Mr. President.'

'The hell you say, Obama.'

'It'll be a cold day in hell, Mr. Obama.'

'To hell with Obamacare, Mr. President!'

'You could catch hell over this, Obama.'

'It would be easier to air condition hell, Barack.'

'What fresh hell is this, Mr. president?'

I'd rather vacation in hell, Obama.'

No one says that a person has to like Obama and his administration or his 'time for change' policies.

I don't.

 But we should respect the man for achieving this most high office if nothing else.

Still, to invite a man, by his first name to 'go to hell' requires a personal response!

It's a good thing dueling is no longer acceptable in American political culture!

Where I'm from to tell me to 'go to hell' are fighting words.

Two West Virginians are walking down different ends of a street toward each other and one is carrying a sack. When they meet, one says, "Hey, Tommy Ray, what'cha got in th' bag?"

"Jus' some chickens."

"If I guess how many there are, can I have one?"

"I'll give you both of them."

"OK. Ummmmm......, five?"

A West Virginian came home and found his house on fire, rushed next door,

telephoned the fire department and shouted, "Hurry over here.

My house is on fire!"

"OK," replied the fireman, "how do we get there?"

"Say, don't you still have those big red trucks?"

The West Virginian and his gal were embracing passionately in the front seat of the car.

"Want to go in the back seat?" she asked.

"No," he replied.

A few minutes later she asked, "Now do you want to get in the back seat?"

"No," he said again, "I wanna stay here in the front seat with you."

A hitchhiker from West Virginia was picked up by a guy in a big Lincoln Continental. The West Virginian

have everything, don't they?"
