Rubber Ducky Poetry Hour

As children we all thought or said
"I cannot wait until I grow up,
To do whatever I want whenever I want!"

As adults we all think or say
"Oh to be a kid again,
To be carefree with no responsibilities!"

Neither child or adult is happy with their lot
There is no happy medium
Between childhood and adulthood

Being a teenager might be the worst of all
Knowing you cannot go back to the carefree days
But seeing the heavy responsibilities before you.

So maybe remember that
The next time your teenager rebels
That they are just fighting the inevitable they know is coming.

Karma is her name
The Lady of Justice
She who can punish us
Or bless us

Kismet is her name
The Lady of Destiny
To lead us to great power
Or great catastrophe

The Fates three
Clotho she was the spinner of the thread of life
Lachesis she measured the thread of life allotted to each person
Atropos she cut the thread, choosing each persons manner of death

Oh the Ladies who rule our lives
Lovely everyone of them in their own way
But deadly too if you anger them
So tread lightly, speak softly, and be kind.

I am a bibliophile
A lover of books
To read, to touch
To hold, to absorb

To feel the paper pages
Under my finger tips one page at a time
To smell the ink
The aroma filling my nose as the pages turn

My eyes deciphering the words
Creating images in my mind
The story of this tome
Unfolding before me, pulling me along for the ride

The happenstance thief
Discovering a most heinous plot
The Hero or Heroine
Battling the great evil

You think the end is near
Good has triumphed!
But what is this?!
A greater evil! A cliffhanger!

A lead to another book
To pull you in
To lead you on another adventure
With your characters that you love so dear

The words on the paper
Seem to swirl and twirl
Turning in on itself
I think my eyes have gone cross-eyed

To read about computer parts
Motherboards and CPU's
The best of Intel and AMD
Puts my brain on snooze

Give me a desktop or laptop
Let me put my hands inside
Let me take out the CPU and Video Cards
I will be the happiest geek you ever did see.

I am a hands-on kinda geek
I am visual maybe a little bit verbal
But this book is draining my brain
Come on let my hands play with the source

Standing out under the sun
Thrusting my hands up
Giving a little prayer to the Sun God
My feet start to move
Dancing around as He fills me full of life
Sparks come from my finger tips
As I spin and dance wildly
Loving life and loving all around me
A spark leaps from me to you
Then you start to smile and dance
Laughing and twirling as sparks fly off of you
The spark of life leaps from you to another
And to another, til it takes over the whole world
It starts with one.. one smile, one dance step
Spreads like wildfire across the planet
Help me carry the spark of life to cover the globe
To share the Love and Peace I feel at the touch of the Sun
The Sun the giver of warmth, the giver of life on a cold winters day
Come lets celebrate that the Sun rotates our fair Earth and be thankful

Abandoned this building
We humans have crafted
From brick, from wood

We rip the resources from the Earth
We mold it to what we want
We use it for a time

Then we abandon it
To be reclaimed by the Earth again
A new home for the wild

The plants move in first
Growing up the walls
A tree sprouts in the middle of a room

The mice and rats come next
Making homes in the desks
Using the random cloth left behind for nests

Then come the cats
Hunting for the mice and rats
And maybe a dry place to stay awhile

Yes Mother Earth has reclaimed
What we have abandoned
And made it beautiful again.

Black and white
That is all you see
The gray is invisible
To your naked eye

Your way or the highway
So you say
But honey, take a step back
The world is changing

Open your eyes
See what is truly there
The future is before you
The world is changing with or without you

You don't have to like
Truly you don't have to accept it
But at the very least respect it
Or in the end you just screw yourself
