It's National Poetry Month!

April is National Poetry Month and as a home school parent, I am always on the lookout for nifty things to add to my curriculum, things that will add flavor to our lessons. It just so happens that a friend and Brother of mine has published a book of his poems on Kindle. It's well-written, calling vivid imagery to mind, and the reader is in no doubt as to the meaning of the words. So I wanted to send a shout out to him and his lovely work on my blog and hopefully send a few of my followers in the direction of his book. Without further ado, please take a look at 'The Life of a Dreamer' by Deacon Rogers. If you love poetry and you love emotion-filled passages, then you will enjoy this. It's inexpensive and you will be helping a local artist who is just getting started. I'll send out some thanks in advance. :) Remember to breathe and laugh a lot!

Ode To My Coffee

It's been quite some time since my last post but I'm hoping it's been worth the wait. I'm posting silliness this morning. It won't be good for much except a laugh but I hear that's the best medicine, so... Without further ado, I now present my work of morning coffee mayhem: Ode To My Coffee Oh, coffee cup number one You're the one that’s like a gun Going off in the morning and waking me up. Oh how you fill my cup! Oh coffee cup number two Oh what a jewel are you! Add some honey, stir it in Add some milk and watch it spin! Oh coffee cup number 3 You bring such joy to me The sun shining brightly inside me now Oh golly gee and wow! Oh coffee cup number 4 Putting my feet on the floor Fuel for the life that I must lead I love you! Yes, indeed! Oh coffee…………………… Sweet nectar of life Oh coffee……… Perfect for a housewife Oh, coffee…………………… Energy’s mine Oh, coffee………………… You are divine! Now, this is my work of art. If you like it, feel free to share the link with others but please don't steal my ode. It's also set to music, for added silliness, of course. With that in mind, grab a cup of Morning Joy and write your own silly ode! Laugh a lot!
