joy would be that the
whole family would
still be able to
love each
other no
matter.

The Thing That Gives Me Joy
You could
say that the
thing that
gives me joy is to
watch the Thanksgiving
Day Parade before
we eat
some turkey
and stuff.

Odd Observation
I happened to look at the list of poets who follow me today and I noticed something very strange. Only a small number have been signing on DUP in the past few weeks and the vast majority have not been on in over a month.
Now this is just my followers, but I wonder if this is a larger issue. I was looking because another member mentioned to me that their comments were down lately and I was wondering if people are reading less or just not getting on the internet in general.
Is anyone else noticing this trend?
I wonder if the admins have site stats to check data on site stats? ...

He starred in "Betsy's Wedding" and "Club Fed".
He starred in "Carnival of Blood" and "Born To Win".

The One Thing That I Fear Most
You
could say
that the one
thing that I fear
most in the world is
being unable to
control my temper even
while working at the store because
I might explode and hurt either a
customer or one of my co-workers.

At Least, We Had Only Tee-Vee At The Time
Back when I was
a little
kid, the only
thing I had done on each
Saturday Morning was
to sit in front of the
set and watch cartoons until lunchtime.

Why Can't This Guy Just Accept Responsibility?
Donald Trump is starting
over with his political
schtick instead of being
a real man for what he
had done before and
while he was President.

when one who has been soooooooo

it hurts even the warrior.

Living a lie
Keep telling yourself,
"This time will be different,
because its honest"
But how can it be,
When you're lying to yourself?
Old, faithful, denial.
Consider this, friend.
You're worth being honest with,
But truth starts at home.

Canvas
a brief history of the English word canvas, including what sailing, painting, and the American flag have in common with jeans and politics
When Christopher Columbus set sails in 1492 to discover a new route to India his ships were powered by wind and canvas. Renaissance artists of the same era painted their masterpieces on canvas. Canvas was still used by the Dutch masters Vincent Van Gogh and Rembrandt in the 17th century.
Betsy Ross wasn’t an artist. But in the biography of the word ‘canvas’ she has a unique place. Her name is remembered for sewing the first American...
