Rubber Ducky Poetry Hour

[PoeticWitch]

Here it is the supposed end
Some folks predicted it, so it must be
How silly are we?

Things are not always what they seem
End of the old
Beginning of the new

It is not always a fiery death
Sometimes just a quiet transition
Be thankful, we will live another day

Take this time to reflect
Is your past something to be proud of?
Or something of pure shame?

It is a time for change
Use it to your advantage
And change your world!

[PoeticWitch]

Here it is Christmas Day
A day to visit friends and family
To open presents and eat tasty foods
All in all a lovely Holiday

Many people argue about this holiday
Who it might or might not be about
Who celebrated this holiday first or what not
But in the end does it matter?

Good will towards all mankind should be most important
Celebrating your family and friends so dear to your heart
The presents matter not for they are only the material
But the food was made with love and good faith

So be thankful and grateful
Be happy and merry
Love all who come across your path
Not just today but all year long

[PoeticWitch]

At the top of the hill
Looking down beneath me
Sled in hand and a cold breeze on my face
Snow smoothing out the path below

Sled down on the ground
And I hop on in it
With a mighty push
I am off rushing wildly down the hill

A crazy scream is ripped from my throat
As the exhilaration hits me full force
Accelerating faster and faster
My heart about to explode with excitement

With a suddenness the ground flattens
Coming slowly to a stop
I stand shaking the snow off of me
Legs shaky and wiggly

I stand there feeling complete
As if I conquered the world
Or maybe just a hill and some snow
But that silly grin isn't leaving my face anytime soon

[PoeticWitch]

Here it is the end of the year
Just a few more minutes and the New Year will be here
Lets count down the seconds
Grab your partner and plant a kiss!

What a year we have had
Many happiness's
And many sadnesses
All a part of us, no matter what

Reflect on this past year
Learn from the mistakes
Be empowered from the successes
Remember it isn't the end of the world just yet.

So cherish your family and friends
Kiss your loved ones everyday
Smile at all who may pass you
And give a helping hand when you can

So Happy New Year my friends!
You have been with me in the past
And will be with me for my future
So lets dance into the New Year together!

[PoeticWitch]

Early morning sunrise
Over the snowy landscape
Soft silence surrounding you
The air so chilly puffs of breath can be seen

The snow glistening under the brilliance of the sun
Like a million diamonds strewn across the ground
Watching the world sleep
So magical in its own right

Though it is winter there is wildlife about
Listen closely you can hear a bird or two
Watch closely you will see a squirrel hunting for his nuts
The world just moves at a much more sedate pace in the colder months

Enjoy the quiet beauty of ice and snow
As it gives you reasons to snuggle up close with one you love
Huddling around a fire drinking hot chocolate
Sharing stories that bring smiles to faces of many

Soon the snow and ice will melt
The plants will sprout greenery all over
The trees will bud
And the birds and animals will come to life with a vengeance

So enjoy your quiet time
Enjoy the snowball fights
Enjoy the sledding
And most of all enjoy the snuggles.

[PoeticWitch]

You be you
I be me
We all be who we want to be
You can never be me
I can never be you
Who are we?
Are you Superman?
Am I Wonder-woman?
Maybe I am Superman!
And you are Wonder-woman!
Does it matter who wears the skirt?
And who wears the pants?
Wait who has the dangly bits?
Who has the pink taco?
With a little duct tape it won't matter one bit.
How about we go shopping for a cock or two
Give a smile to some lucky girl or guy
Maybe me or maybe you!

[PoeticWitch]

All the bad
All the good
How do you count your blessings?

You can count the many ways things are bad
Or you can count the hundreds of ways you are blessed
What are you going to choose?

You have a horrible boss you say
But that makes you appreciate your time off all the more
Because he surely doesn't come home with you.

Yes you have to work harder for that check
But be thankful you have a job
To help support you and your family during these trying times.

Your friends and family are there for you
To listen to you and to love you unconditionally
The best blessing ever

So count your blessings
Cherish what you do have
And share the joy

Be thankful for the bad in your life
For help you cherish the good
They aren't going to last forever

[PoeticWitch]

I am a voluptuous woman
But you like to call me fat
Telling me how I am not your type
So what? I wasn't put on this earth for your dumbass

Shocking to know I have someone
Who loves me for all my curves
Someone who loves my statuesque beauty
Someone who sees all of me not just my fragile flesh

So you don't like me because I am a big woman
So what? I don't like you for your lack of brains
And that is something you cannot change
So enjoy your stupidity and I will enjoy my love.

[PoeticWitch]

This virtual space
To whom does it belong
To the old or the new
Or those in-between

Yes we have been here a rather long time
And yes they just invaded
Showing no respect for any
Or maybe just not understanding our unspoken rules

Maybe education is the name of the game
Teach them with patience
Of what this site has to offer
Give them time to settle in

Everyone starts somewhere
Nobody knows everything
So open your mind
And open your heart

And just maybe make a new friend or two
Just give them some time
To learn the new ways
And forget their old ways

Wicked witch of the west am I
Though I live in the Midwest
Wicked more like misunderstood
My pagan ways confuse thee

Let my try to explain my simple ways
I am a lover of life and light
No matter who you are
I am more then willing to give a helping hand

I do not sacrifice life
I do not perform curses
I do not create spells
To make people do things against their will

All life be it animal, plant, or human should be respected
Give thanks for what the Mother has given you
And give back to the Mother as often as possible
What the Mother giveth, so the Mother can taketh away

Live your life as you like
But harm none
But if you do
Make amends as quickly as possible

I hope I have explained my ways sufficiently
Maybe one day your curiosity will lead you to ask more
In the mean time Blessed Be
Merry Met, Merry Part

[PoeticWitch]

Oh the sun!
How I have missed the Sun
Over this past winter
I want to feel the yellow warmth upon my face
Warming my body and soul
This winter has gone on far too long in my opinion
Let the Sun shine!
Let the world grow!
And spring forth with life once more!
Oh Goddess bless with an early spring!
Bless us with love, life and laughter
Growing strong under the Mighty Sun!
Like a lover the Sun wraps his warm arms around me.

[PoeticWitch]

When is enough enough?
When is calling it quits alright?
This is too much or maybe not enough

Your priorities are skewed
Are we even following the same path anymore?
You took one fork and I took the other

Can we meet up again further down the path?
Or will we keep going opposite directions?
I miss you already

Do you see that I am not by your side?
Or are you hypnotized but what you think is so great?
Is it so great that you are willing to lose me?

I love you and always will
But I cannot walk the path you are on
I cannot watch you either

So please stop and reflect on your current steps
They carry you farther away from me
Is that what you want?

Or do you want to walk this path with me
Remember the path we planned together
Take my hand my darling, lets forge ahead as one.

[PoeticWitch]

I know how you feel
Those moments of worthlessness so overwhelming
But your worth is not determined by others
If they recognize you for your awesomeness or not

I know you deny dashing good looks
That is fine with me
Because it means you have no ego I have to contend with
But that doesn't mean you are ugly by any stretch of the imagination.

You are a great friend in so many ways
I cannot count them because I think I would lose count
My friend you are awesome
Don't let anyone take that away from you

Your worth is determined by you and you alone
It is nice to hear thank you and what a great job
But in the end you must acknowledge yourself
And your awesomeness!

[PoeticWitch]

I stand there
Watching the people
Laughing and talking with each other
I wonder why I feel so distant from all of this

I walk through the crowd
Moving through them like a little wisp of air
Turning my head back and forth
Searching for something I have lost

The people move around me
Never seeing me
Never touching me
As if I am not there on their plane of existence

Then I see you looking at me
A smile spreading across your face
That smile just for me
That sends tingles through my whole body

I step towards you
A smile on my lips
Like coming to life
Just for you

You take my hand
Like magic I exist
For you and everyone else in the room
For they see me through your eyes

Behold the beauty you perceive before you
And it is true for you and for me
Our love for each other makes us the most beautiful in the world
And forever whole in each others arms.

[PoeticWitch]

I take a step out on my porch
The early morning sun coming up from the east
I can hear the birds singing
Telling their secret
That spring is on its way

I sip my coffee
Closing my eyes
Listening to the music of early spring morning
Enjoying the warmth of the sun on my flesh
Feeling it soak into me, down to the bones

Spring is in my blood
All I want is to go out and DO!
Do everything that I have missed over these winter months
Riding bikes, long walks with my love on the river side
Even yard work seems more pleasure then pain

Spring is in my blood
All I can do is smile and laugh
The sun is here once again
Share this secret with one and all
For Spring brings joy to so many

[PoeticWitch]

Red hearts and red roses
Chocolates galore
Words of sweet romance
Another Valentine's Day has come

For some it is grand
Dinner out with your one true love
Gifts exchanged
To prove your affection for each other

But for others it is Singles Awareness Day
Another reminder that you alone
No one to come home to
No one to share your day with at its end

Good luck for the lovers
May your love continue strong and pure
And for my single friends
Be patient, if you want this love, one day it will come

So Happy Valentine's Day my friends
Enjoy your day
Be it with your love
Or be it alone

[PoeticWitch]

Stereotypical gender roles are broken with us my love
I am the mighty bug killer
While you pick out the best girly outfits for me
I have the mechanical know how
Fixing toilets is child's play for me
Oh you still bring home the bacon by the pounds
But you are the one to do the laundry and cook the dinner
Your head in my lap is the sweetest feeling
While dancing slowly in our living-room late at night
Well that just tickles us both pink
I am she and you are he
But to be true we are One
Neither gender applies to us

[PoeticWitch]

Here I am
On the border
Of reality and insanity
There is no up
And there is no down
No left nor right
I can hear everything
But nothing at the same time
My sense of touch
Is hypersensitive
As is my sense of smell
I am overloaded
Feeling as if I am on deaths door
Praying to pass through
For this is too much
Too intense
But I hear your voice
You keep calling me back
Back from the brink of oblivion
I am grateful
Yet hateful
Miserable
Yet happy to know I am loved
Loved so dearly
That I come back to life
For you and you alone

[PoeticWitch]

I am sure you have heard the phrase
The grass is greener on the other side
But honey I have been there
This side or that side
It is the same amount of work to keep your grass green
Green here or green there

Just be true to yourself
And be honest to the other person involved
It isn't all their fault
Nor is it all your fault I'm sure
It takes two to tango
For all relationships, young or old

All relationships take hard work
If you aren't willing to work on this relationship
Are you willing to work on another?
If it was easy it wouldn't be worth it
Because it is worth it you have to work for it
So think it through before you make a mistake
