Janet the sandwich looks delicious. The cruciferous veggies, ie; kale,cabbages, cauliflower, kohlarabi, and brocolli are all cancer preventative, I love kale as you do, but sometimes substitute cabbage for lettuce. I have heard that the traditional lettuce we all were given as kids namely, iceberg lettuce, has almost no nutrition whatsoever. Great article!

Silent Observations (Poetry) - 8/19/2013 3:02:33 PM
In the differences, the nuances, natural or otherwise, portend common ground, and other senses too similar to sum up with an autumn breath, and ultimately a gift that bleeds uniqueness into disparities, spirited and elemental, as brief as an instant breeding a momentous eternity and other fine lines and parting shots we will yet hold with the vistas of our visionary gleam sent from our Father's eye to those of us who yet behold poetry such as this, the stuff of life itself.
Roger
Silent Observations (Poetry) - 8/19/2013 1:58:19 PM
Life, death, and rebirth in constant motion...I think we're taught these things through nature to pacify our intuition and reawaken it with being submissive and bowing down to a creator well worth the role of a stupendous god in "Silent Observations"...Quieting the mind affords us a foothold on the top rung, Janet. Contemplative poetry worth reading in anyone's spare moments in their busy life to read your words.

You covered the gamut of bad relationships. The key is to know when to cut them off. When we do, we do them a service. If it happens enough to them, they will change. As long as we cater to their twisted needs, they will only become worse.

We know the name of passion, but we do not know her,
when unleashed she moves planets around suns,
but when harnessed, she moves suns around universes,
and satisfies our insatiable taste for love.
Always follow it, even if it strikes you down.

Stay off the Grass (Poetry) - 3/5/2011 5:10:38 AM
One thing I've noticed is that how quickly people come to concusion in judging others; and how quickly friends jump on their friends as soon as their backs are turned to do something that they ought to do, i.e. writing!!
I also have friends that said they will love me as part of their families, and then disappeared on me aftet they told me they love me and consider me part of their family. It hurts when they disappear!!! People shouldn't say things that they don't mean it. I don't have any parents, and if someone comes around to say that they consider me as part of their family I would be so happy and accept them as part of my own family as well; but they shouldn't say that if they don't really mean it, for when they disappear I will greatly miss them.
I'm okay. Don't worry!!

Oh, Janet. This is so good. Having lost my brother to suicide, I know something
of what you are feeling. No two people are the same, and no mourning, but
believe me, there will be many a tear shed when reading this -- and in hindsight --,
including mine.
Great job, girl, great job!
Affectionately,
Phyllis

I know we’ll meet again, and until we do
know that I love you, and the
skates are still here, though winter
has almost gone.
Sweet memories and a fine and loving tribute, Janet. Thank you for sharing it. Love and best wishes,

I keep this with me for all such losses I have faced.
Bless you.
Not Lost Forever
Not lost forever, though on earth we’ve parted;
Not lost forever, though we meet no more-
They do not wander lone and broken hearted,
Who see Heaven’s radiance on the further shore.
Not lost forever!- every gentle token,
That memory wins me from the faraway,
Shall fill my soul, though all our ties are broken,
With tender grace that never can decay.
Not lost forever!- while around me springing,
The violets weep, the roses blush and bloom;
And summer birds in summer woodlands singing,
Flood with soft music all the tranquil gloom.
There will be meaning in the stars, the flowers,
The grand and solemn voices of the sea,
Telling of happy dreams and happy hours,
Of life and sunshine, which it caught from thee.
Not lost forever!- thou shalt still be near me,
Through every fortune, and in every clime;
When cares oppress, or gentle memories cheer me,
Thou shalt be with me, dearest, all the time!

As I had commented on your website;
There is a soft breeze that those memories ride in that echo that special love and fondness you reserved for your brother.
Be well

Lovely site to see, Janet. Engaging poetry. Vivid pictures, too. First-rate haiku. I had all but wondered where you went. It's good to see you here again. All the best to you and yours in the new year. I, too, have bookmarked your site. Thanks for sharing.

I bookmarked your site on my favorites. The ku was done first rate. I also read the opening about the slob and his toilet paper. Ihave to figuire out a way to be notified when you write. The site looks
good not flashy.

The rivulet reflecting the stars,
ran free and small and large.
The tiny girl with the operatic voice,
belted out a vast tune effectual.
The no-one who became all,
carried me when I could not walk.
Your words are poignantly meaningful, Janet. They remind me of a soloist at choir rehearsal last night; in short, you have compelled me to reflect. Thank you. Love and best wishes,
Regis

Quite something, with it ablaze. It is well past midnight, but did you mean cheque rather than check?
Top write, whichever. Only thing is with AOL, links often fail. xo

I thoroughly enjoyed your set of poems, Janet. You left me with much to reflect upon and I found myself relating to much of what you expressed. Love and best wishes to you,

So easily conjures up images of dancing gypsy girls around a campfire inside a circle of brightly painted wagons...but also the ache and pain of lonliness encroaches in the latter lines. Well done Janet.
