This is what I have found in my research,
Religious persons the good lord comes first,
The rest are off for Easter eggs they search.

I love to watch the kids hunt eggs dispersed,
With Easter baskets full of grass and sweets,
This is a time of fun and not rehearsed.

In times of old they did walk the main streets
In Easter bonnets new, for all to see,
Before church time and hunting eggs for treats.

Enjoy this Easter day so nice with glee,
For Easter day is for you and for me.

A love affair of hearts does feel so true.
An intimacy limited in time,
That episode between two lovers flew.

A passionate attachment feeling prime
Can seem so true, before the end is near,
Or hearts of two before the end of rhyme.

Romantic hearts can grow and persevere,
If both have feelings much the same and real.
And overcoming the time without fear.

The hearts so true and real must not conceal,
For one brief moment, something just not true,
Or hearts in love become only surreal.

The difference is: True love will extend,
Affairs of hearts are timed to someday end.

This man unknown has work he has assigned
And does expect your poems without delay
And to be your best work and so refined

This man unknown can make a student pray
That work submitted now will pass the grade
And future poems will not cause much dismay.

This man unknown, for him this poem was made
To make him smile with this small serenade.

 

A word, a single word comes to my mind
When I describe ‘the me’ you want to know
This word is used by all my friends, I find.

With some it takes a bit of time to grow
And another will take more time to see
This word describes ‘the me’ from head to toe.

But in the end they all in time agree
That most the time to pick a single word
This one small word can be the sum of me.

The word is sassy. Is this what you heard?

I, Themis, goddess known of earth and law,
Dispensing justice most divine. Again,
Am here to tell my story with some awe.

My parents, Earth and Heaven they do reign,
Uranus ruled the Heavens but not Earth,
But Gaea ruled the Earth as her domain.

My mother shared the earth with me at birth,
But I excelled in justice in my time,
And this is what is known as my “life’s worth”

An inescapable goddess that to whom
The gods must even yield to and submit,
As my wise words were always, so sublime.

As Delphi Oracle too, Zeus admits,
I make a trusted new advisor now,
So at the side of Zeus is where I sit.

The mortals I gave laws and that allows
A peace to reign in my beloved mankind,
So evil would not rule or be aroused.

The fates and seasons now come into mind,
And I tell you now they are gods and more,
But are my children too and so refined.

The fates they deal mankind’s life and deaths door,
as well as, ones true lot in life will be,
But seasons there are three instead of four.

I have more children so let me now see,
Hesperides the nymphs did watch fruit grow.
Enough about them, lets talk more on me.

You say you built a statue to bestow
My role as goddess? Look the scales I hold
For weighing claims of parties now opposed.

My tale is done, as gifts I now behold.

————–
Written as if she was telling her own story in a way that a goddess would.

The world outside my realm is strange to me.
For venturing out of my boundaries
Is not what I can do so easily.

I give you my sincere apologies,
For I have fears you might not understand
What shuts me in from all adversaries.

It did not happen fast, it was not planned,
This was a thing that developed over time,
And is not contagious by holding hands.

I am in prison but not for a crime
My jail cell is more like the mental kind
Where there are no real walls for me to climb.

Shut in my house is where I am confined.

II

I do have contact with the world outside
Though family, the web and the TV
But that is not my world where I reside.

I do admit, with care, I can go see
The world outside, but in my mental state
I rush to get back to my home safely.

So outside my house I can not relate
To things, because I am not part of it.
I am an outsider because of fate.

My world is not too bad I will admit
And I am thankful for what I have too,
Because I could have given up and quit.

But I have family to see me through.

III

As you can maybe see, my shut in life
Revolves around my family the most
And I am mother as well as a wife.

So over years, I have become engrossed
With my small world, and not the world out there,
Where I decide if we have rice with roast.

My family is totally aware
Of my small problem and deal with it well
They help me when I am in some despair.

And when I take a step outside my shell
They give words with lots of encouragement
Which in the end it helps me to excel.

But for now in my world I am content.

If we do not seize the moments and cease
the thinking hard of future times and days
to relish moments past to gain release,

Then we will have no memories to gaze
of joys to get us though the rough and bad
amazing times that we will come to raise.

No hope to get us though will make us sad.
