Full

To live to work is to be a fool,
money and things deserve no drool.
Working to live, now that's a full.

People don't need to empty their pockets,
to earn a full life, it's not in the moneyed sockets,
but in the hands that are full
with works of love, so beautiful,
a soul that knows it's bountiful.

Let's be full, not fools.
Empty out the weight,
run to our destiny, claim our fate!

Money is good, but to pursue a full soul and life is even better.

The Thunder

It peels the sky,
smites with power, the silent fly,
but all rage and rapidity
is gone

when the rain comes,
the thunder sighs.

Rain Mothers

Practical Moms, Practicing Poets

There is no frigate like a book (1263)

by Emily Dickinson

There is no Frigate like a Book 

To take us Lands away, 

Nor any Coursers like a Page 

Of prancing Poetry – 

This Traverse may the poorest take 

Without oppress of Toll – 

How frugal is the Chariot 

That bears a Human soul.

Who says practical, work-at-home moms can't be poets? Novelists? Writers? We are definitely scientists because of our systematic methods of finding inexpensive (relatively inexpensive at times because some organic products can be remarkably expensive) natural products for us and our family, and I say we can be poets too! 

Mom Writers in a Digital World

Dickinson is right on. We'll ride our Frigates and Prance our poetry. Let's have our Chariots running wild. We practical moms can ride them manically! Human souls, passing-by!

Let's write about poohs, poo-poo, and no 'poo,
about beauty, lifestyle, health, and stealth,
sex, money, or the lack thereof,
silly things, happy things, 
nothing that means something,
and nothing that means everything.

Women issues, parent issues,
marriage, global warming, and inner wars,
epic battles won, others still ongoing,
poems and novels, blogs and tweets,
Frigates and Chariots, fearless and free!

Do you write poems too? What's your inspiration in writing them?
