Hello everyone;
I did say "haphazardly" participating in the April PAD Challenge. This is why day one is being posted after day two.
Day 1 prompt of "write an optimistic poem"
Not Dead Yet, Me
Is it really such a tragedy
that my sentences are raggedy
words tread together by similarity?
The conversation is still defiantly
expressions of me.
Is it really such a travesty
that I wander aimlessly?
When I can travel through time so easily
…our life history
…a life lived outrageously.
Is it really such a disparity
that I have forgotten the melody
of your name? Still there’s some clarity….
I know the feelings of family
and passions intensity.
Is it really such an indignity
that something once familiar is now a novelty.
Or that simple tasks escape me.
I still dance to life’s jamboree
and sing majestically.
Is it really such a finality
even as I become more absentee?
There is plenty of life in my legacy.
Don’t bother writing my eulogy,
when there’s still time to create a memory.

Hello Everyone;
I wanted to let you know that I have updated Venus Transit: Snapshots in Haiku & Poetry and from today (Wednesday) through Sunday it is free on Amazon. Here is a link: http://goo.gl/hwQoO
The changes were not enough to make it a new version but there are some changes.
If you bought the book earlier then go to manage my account and delete the old version first. Or if you get the warning box just click on the link that Amazon gives you to manage your account.
Thank you so much and please, if you like the book please write a review for it.
Cheers,
Delaina
