A Halloween Poem by Mormon Surrogate

I didn't have time to edit...



*Pictures found on Google for visual purposes.
The poem belongs to me.



Candy, treats and witches brew

some for me and some for you.

Ghosts and goblins saying Boo!

A cold dark night that's mixed with fright.

It's best for a full moon.

Time for you to be someone new

with your costume.

Graveyards call and animals howl,

was that the wind or just an owl?

Creepy spirits swirl around
while little tots run through your town.
Pumpkins stare and blink with light.

Bats fly 'round with little sight.
An excuse to dress up your pets.

For some it's a night of regrets.

Come meet me over at Parenting for Dummies Place *please*

Ok, so I stumbled upon this cool lady somewhere between SITS and another blogger friend of a friend sort of thing. She is rockin' awesome! Her blog is Parenting By Dummies.  I'm sure we've all felt like a dummy parent at some point.  Well she has guest bloggers on what she calls "Make new (i)friends Monday(s)" She hosts the guest blogger AND writes them a poem. She kind of did it just playing around and got really good at it!

Guess who's the guest blogger *ifriend* for Today- Monday January 25, 2010? Give up?

It's little old ME! And she did an awsome job. Please check it all out *HERE*.

Thanks!  Have an awesome MONDAY!

Excitedly Happy- Found my long lost poem- Pepperbird

I've been searching for a lost poem of mine. It's all about my unique nickname and how it came about.. well for the most part. I'm happy and excited because I found it. I looked on both computers and found nothing. I'm sure it's in a binder somewhere, but I was pretty sure I typed it up at one point. I've been looking for months. Anyway I found it on my old web cam site.

So here you go: (This was written at least 6 years ago)

Pepperbird

A combination of Red Hot Chili Peppers,
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,
and good old Dr. Pepper.
A nickname of Jilly Bird.
A combination of things I love.

My personality shines through the gloomy clouds and comes out through my nickname.
I sing to Red Hot Chili Peppers when I'm mad, hyper or just plain feeling good.
I sing to The Beatles when I'm sad, depressed, deeply in love, or when Im happy.
I sing to Rod Stewart when I'm feeling romantic, sexy, lovely, or wild, or while I'm driving.
I also sing to all kinds of other music while I clean, write poetry or while I do just about anything.

Dr. Pepper tastes best with friends, but hell, I'll drink it anytime.
I obviously like to write poems,
and I hope to get better at it as I write more about life, death, daydreams,
lovers, friends, and all that this groovy world has to offer.
I try so hard not to judge people, so I get along with mostly everyone.
Of course there are those few that no one can really get along with.
So, love me for me and take me for who I am.
Because deep down, I really like myself, and don't wish to change.
