Only one and one half weeks until St. Patrick's Day. I must gather up and decide which poems I want to read at Richard's in Sheboygan Falls that night. I have been invited to perform as a Gaelic Poet. Probably because I won a contest a couple of years ago, which makes me very proud actually. I will get paid my dinner for this which is not bad pay for poetry these days. I wrote a couple of poems while Bart was sick and have been keeping up my articles for a friend who publishes a paper up north called the Pike River Community News. If I get enough of either (poems or cooking articles) I may try to publish a book. We will see.
It is good to have ambitions anyway. My Live Long and Love it discussion group is giving me some motivation. I lost a lot while Bart was sick.
Here is my most recent poem. I like honest criticism.
SON
Treasure of my heart
Fragment of my being
I gave you life
Pride of my heart
Mirror of my eternity
I nurtured you
Labor of my heart
Piece of my mosaic
I mentored you
Hole in my heart
Gone to YOUR horizon
I let you fly
Joy of my heart
Dream of my tomorrow
You are my legacy
Soon
Mary
