Sign of a Great Mind

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Truth uncompromisingly told

will always have

its ragged edges.

Herman Melville

Colors are forces, radiant

energies that affect us

positively or negatively,

whether we are

aware of it or not. 

                      Johannes Itten

We ought to think that

we are one of the

leaves of a tree, and

the tree is all humanity.

We cannot live without the

others, without the tree. 

Pablo Casals

 It is the sign of a great mind

to prefer things in measure

to things in excess.

 Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Giving away smiles

is my religion

Open Doors

A L O H A From Honolulu!

There is another alphabet,

whispering from every leaf,

singing from every river,

shimmering from every sky.

The world is always open,

waiting to be discovered.

    Dejan Stojanovic

[Thank You Karen Link]

When one door is closed,

don’t you know,

another is open.

 Bob Marley

When one door closes,

another opens; but we

often look so long and

so regretfully upon

the closed door that

we do not see the one

which has opened for us.

   Alexander Graham Bell

Follow your bliss and

the universe will open ‪doors

where there were only walls.

Joseph Campbell

Things taste sweet

when you are grateful,

Stolen grapes are

always sour.

Well-being can be built—

and the best building blocks

are good, warm relationships.

Robert Waldinger

Some of our friends

write poetry

informed by

literature, the bible,

deep reading & study.

Others of us (like me)

have a frame of reference

involving television

and movies.

I have "written" a poem

every line of which

is the title of a song

(I've made them links

so you can click on the line

and hear the song)

Wild card:

One line may be

a line from a film.

My line #2

is from Woody Allen's

Annie Hall

So without furthur ado-

Second Hand Rose

How is this your buisiness?

The times they are a changing

So Shimmy Shimmy Coco-Bop

Rock Around the Clock

Tie a Yellow Ribbon

on the Eve Of Destruction.

There Has To Be

a Morning After.

Now YOU try it!
then link here,
or link us to your
poetry cliques.

But not before
you give us a "shout"
in Comments.
(or is it a comment in shouts?)
