Haiku – Heart Song

Heart Song

A beat in my heart /
Music for my hollow soul /
My heart dances now

I wrote this haiku on my blackberry while being a passenger to the valley the other day and wanted to share it on my blog.

Childrens Story: The Boy Wizard

dragonblogger — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 14:30:26 +0000

I wrote another story for my 1st grader to encourage him to read, he looks forward to me creating a new little mini-book for him to read each week. In include several of the words he is learning in school for the week to help him along. This weeks story was “A Boy Wizard”, these stories are meant to be read by 5-8 year old’s.

A Boy Wizard

In a castle tower.
On a grassy hill.

There lived a boy student.
Checking his school books.

He was a wizard in training.
In school for two months.

Now the time has come.
To cast his first spell.

A simple trick for a young boy.
Turn a pebble into a frog.

He waved his fingers fast
Shouting “zippity zam sappy soo”

Poof! The small gray pebble was gone.
In its place a little green frog.

With a grin the boy shouted
“Teacher, I did it!”

The teacher patted the boy on the back.
The teacher said “You are now a boy wizard”

Turkey Run – Random Twitter Poem for Nov 6th

dragonblogger — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 19:35:59 +0000

Turkey Run is a poem inspired by the movie Chicken Run but with Turkeys trying to save themselves from the Thanksgiving Massacre. It was inspired by the 16 random words (in blue) provided below:
@Oneunder2001(Astonishment), @summerbreeze80(superstition), @purple_froggy(turkey), @tincruz(steamy), @SurfCityJay(finally), @blusol(sheathing), @rockalong(pizazz), @TrinaMb(extricate), @NixieKitty(relational), @A_Lan(espionage), @MetallmanX(inept), @santasdevil(massacre), @AttilaBS(aftermath), @amds007(atone), @HarleyQuinnAA(punctual), @JoeManna(focus)

Turkey Run

Astonishment at the truthful superstition
all finally would end up as a steamy meal
with nobody to atone for their actions

A relational plan developed with much pizazz
they would extricate themselves from farm
sheathing themselves underground for safety

The plan however, went horribly wrong
a scout was not punctual in his return
focus distracted, the humans descended

A supposedly simple mission assigned
lead to a turkey massacre aftermath
inept espionage was the only blame

The turkey run had failed.

Repeat Offender – Random Twitter Poem for Nov 5th

dragonblogger — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:36:32 +0000

Repeat Offender is about a criminal who has a history of repeat offenses only for his deeds to catch up with him. It was inspired by the 18 random words (in blue) provided by the following twitter followers:
@shemah(imbecile), @Piratelover22(listless), @Karee13(insipid), @TrinaMb(volunteer), @petergan(blues), @JoeManna(Camera Fraud), @WorkingLori(blithe), @filigreegirl(phytoremediation), @booksaboutpeace(vilified), @inab2(humility), @RemBeatZ(Memoriam), @Jemfyr(unnamed), @websitetoptip(theme), @rockalong(inconceivable), @manitisle(until), @shonie1966(lover), @sinned24(twitter)

Repeat Offender

Handcuffed, sitting listless an insipid imbecile
now unable to brag about your deed on Twitter
humility an inconceivable thought and emotion
feeling vilified for a simple unnamed crime
a volunteer with blithe indifference for laws
RAP sheet a list of failures and mistakes
contaminated dirt needing phytoremediation
recurring theme of corruption destined to repeat
professed lover of crime and chaos until being caught
only the jailhouse blues to keep you company now
no positive In Memoriam will decorate your grave stone
yet no regret exists for committing camera fraud

Parenting Troubles – Random Twitter Poem for Nov 4th

dragonblogger — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 20:09:11 +0000

Parenting Troubles is a poem about a parent who was resting or meditating only to be disturbed by children fighting and punishing the kids. This poem was inspired by my own life (joking, I think) and by the 17 random words (in blue) provided below:
@Piratelover22(meditation), @blusol(grounded), @anefallarme(frustrated), @Zorlone(pandemonium), @TrinaMb(finally), @miriella(ecstatic), @jmbuckingham(longing), @JessicaGottlieb(shot), @Karee13(vestal), @inab2(dialectic), @shonie1966(fallen), @AnnEvanston(disruptive), @purple_froggy(cast), @mikki_fit(theocracy), @KathrynVercillo(returning), @RemBeatZ(conjugated), @Jemfyr(bergamot)

Parenting Troubles

Frustrated, longing for peace and quiet
disruptive pandemonium draining sanity
ecstatic play turning into a raging battle
dialectic questioning spurs only retaliatory remarks
no vestal theocracy could decipher who started it
a sharp vicious glance shot, silencing the shouting
fallen behavior not tolerated, justice is metered
conjugated punishments cast, children are grounded
you then enter your bergamot oil scented chamber
finally returning to a state of meditation

Reunited

Just another late star next to pesky Orion
to resurrect love and faith, to guide me
hierarchy of the heavens beyond my reach
my near hollow soul a wasting ullage
this lavaliere, a last cherished gift
small token to sublimate my dark thoughts
tears well in my eyes thick and greasy
like bacon grease clinging to a drain
when will we be reunited at last?

It was only faith guiding me now
ardent fear and dread present
a gaudy hospital bed my own

An error in judgment perhaps?
a performer who reached my zenith
just trying to enhance my show

Austere ambidextrous trick gone wrong
chelation my only reward
lying here in recovery

Spirit Wander – Original Poem by Dragon Blogger

dragonblogger — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 14:30:48 +0000

Spirit Wander

My soul escapes with nowhere to go
alone in the world with no one I know

A howling moon sits taunting me slowly
cursing my presence as if I were unholy

A spirit walk is what I have taken
fear has set in and I am quite shaken

My body eludes me, when can I return?
this thought a source of grave concern

This may be one of my many mistakes
when suddenly without warning, my body wakes

Childrens Story: The Pixie

dragonblogger — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 15:00:14 +0000

My son is in first grade and starting to read little pamphlet type books for class, I thought I would start creating my own books for him to read, simple books containing 2 sentences per page with picture on each page and no more than four or five pages. These miniature books take about 5-8 minutes for him to read and are more interesting than most of the books he brings home to read. I incorporate the words he is learning in school into the stories to help reinforce the words he is supposed to memorize.

This story is titled “The Pixie”

The Pixie

The Pixie flew near the sea.

Cold wind blew through her wings.

An orc was waiting for her.

The orc was about to charge.

The pixie cast a magic spell.

Cool magic bolts shot from her hand.

The Orc was hit in the back

The Orc ran away scared.

The Pixie was safe at last.

The Pixie then took a bath in the sea.

The End

Fatal Eclipse

Surreptitious pandemonium
an extraordinary eclipse
a business escapade halted
world struck dumbfounded
the moon, a cogent ghost
sunbeams falling like chips
effervescent doomsayers chanting
reminiscing about truth and judgment
a scorpion come to sting us all
as we watch the fatal eclipse
