Glad I am not the princess in the pea
I don't like slimy green pea
But, I do like the rolling of waves on the sea
Royal identity is established by a test
 Physical sensitivity is my virtue best 
I don't like a  lumpy bed 
Or heavy pillows made of lead
 Slip between flannel  and Egyptian cotton sheets
In the arms of man I just  had privilege to meet 
Candles lit and music fill the air
As I lay awake and stare
At the man next to me 
Wondering what future will bring
As I listen to the morning lark sing
Christine

The owl kiss pussycat with caution - eye wide-
Pussycat purr her feelings she did not hide.
Owl is a free bird to wander the world- 
While pussycat has family with two lovely girls.
Pussycat would love to fly with the Owl 
But ,deep in her heart she knew it would not work. 
Pussycat on land and the Owl fly above the sea.
So Pussycat wipes hers tears and Owl wipes his fears.

The Ship’s History
"Bloomin' Bloomers"
 

Captain Foxmorton with her fiery hair

And her loyal scurvy crew
Sail the ocean blue
Biggest storm appeared out of nowhere
The waves went here and there and everywhere
The rain was as big as pieces of eight
The way the ship rock back and forth
The Captain Knew we all be fish bait
The wind howl and roar
The mast broke and the sails tore
Everyone was thrown overboard
The Captain grab for her sword
And I grab for the rum gourd
We were shipwreck floating in the sea
For three long days
Count then with me l 2 3
Crew hanging on whatever to keep afloat
Rum barrels, floaty rings, and the old goat
On the third day, we spied a boat
The Queen of England ship came sailing by
We all yell and cry
In our Best English
Help Help Please Your Ladyship
Captain said Bless My Cheese Dip
In the kindness of her heart she did help
Or maybe we gave her guilty trip
Nay Not the Queen
That be quite obscene
Queen let us aboard her grand ship RMS
Not confuse you with Sir France Drake’s Golden Hind
That was her first mistake- I don’t think she was in her right mind…
2nd mistake she made us take bath in rose petals and thyme
ARRRRRRRR  all the blasted time
We were in the ocean up to our necks 
How much cleaner can we get?
What the heck?
After to many yes your Highness
The Captain use to giving orders not taking them
Mutiny is in the air
The queen was condemn
The Captain took her boots and all her loot
Strip her down to her birthday suit
Made her walk the plank
Down to Davy Jones Locker she did sank
Three Cheers for Captain Foxmorton  hip hip hooray
On this very day
The British flag came down and Queen’s Bloomer went up flying high
In the blue sky
The Captain Foxmorton   Declare to the Poseidon and the crew
Rum, Salmagundi Stew, and cheese
Drum roll please
From this day forward we call this ship Bloom’ Bloomers
I heard some rumors
The Queen survive
She got warrant out for Captain Foxmorton and crew
  Dead Or Alive
 
This how Mad Peg tells the tale!

Another Year will soon be past
And I hope our Friendship will last
Another Year older and wiser I hope
Life is full of ups and down and little jokes

My wish to you  one and all
Is love and peace and your friendship after all
Your dreams come true
Not to many days that you feel so blue

To read good book and learn to cook
To have adventures like Peter Pan and Captn' Hook
Never feel old
To ride the wave of the sea
To open your eyes as you life unfolds

Take a chance
Do a jig or dance
Give a kiss and hug
Don't be mad or humbug !

There only one way out of life
Follow your dreams and your heart
Like the mice with piper's fife
Be smart you can alway change your Destiny Chart

Life is to short they Say
You never know when you die
Tomorrow , Next year  and A Day

Don't waste time worrying
I know its hard to do as I am a mother
I care for my friends, family and others
Be yourself don't worry about what others will think
 Time goes by with snap and wink

So Happy New Year
Start off with Clean Slate
As the clock strikes midnight
We can only wait!
See You Next Year if God does Bless
Time will tell what is next

There are good ships, and there are wood ships,
The ships that sail the sea.

But the best ships, are friendships,
And may they always be.

                                                             Licorice

 

 Throughout time

Licorice Root

Is relaxing to the body

Reducing stress in my mind

It really was great find

 Black Licorice

 It comes in all kinds of shapes

Shoe- stings

Bits

Licorice sticks

Licorice I love to lick

My tongue turns black

 Lets Turn history back

Long ago

Once upon time

A day in December

I still can remember

Pharaohs discovered

Licorice

It was a popular drink

Made you clearly think

Emperor King Tut's tomb

Generous supplies of the root

Was buried with him

With all the gold and gems

    Egyptian hieroglyphic record says

Cleopatra used it to preserve her beauty

Night and day

Cleopatra's Desire  

Captivating allure of Mark Anthony

Of Licorice peppery taste upon

Cleopatra lips

Her enticing kisses

The milk and honey bath and licorice sticks

A hypnotic, aphrodisiac scent

Upon her skin, lingers  

Seduced the great Roman leaders

 Julius Caesar

Diplomatic aid in putting Egypt

Favorable with Rome

So, she can keep her home

Also with her best foot

Forward

The liquorice plant 'sweet root'

Made her life easyer

   Licorice  grows wild in month of May

 Cleopatra becomes Queen of Egypt

On her 18 Th birthday

Cleopatra to prepare her suicide

She really didn't want to die

She asks her servants Iras and Charmion

To bring her a snake in a licorice basket

She writes a letter Anthony her lover

Anthony receives the letter, it's too late

 She tries to solve the conflict

With the Roman Empire

 Even As she dreams and aspires

The 39 years old glorious queen

Was quite esteem

She was not insane

She took bite of the root for the pain

Licorice Her treasure

She puts duty before pleasure

Licorice scent filled the room

Even in all this gloom

It seems that nothing could stop her,

 Not even death

On Cleopatra, breathe

Was that licorice?

Mark Anthony wept!

A Children Poem By Christine
Stone Carve Angel


The stone carved Angel
Sitting in middle of my flower garden
So very alone

I wonder what she thinks?
Staying there in one place
Night and Day
Day and Night

Is she really all-alone
Lets take a closer look!

One Robin Red Breast
Up in the old maple tree
Building a birds' nest
Smiles down on the Angel
As she rest

Lets go look again!
Two Lady Bugs
Having High –Tea
On a green basil leaf
Oh, look one wink at you
And one wink at me

Two Lady Bugs
One Robin Red Breast

Look what is over there?
Three Butterflies dancing
Around the pink rose tree
Lets count
1 2 3
Butterflies we see!

Three Butterflies
Two Lady Bugs
One Robin Red Breast

What do you see by the garden gate?
1 2 3 Bunny Rabbits
All in a row
Oh, here is one more
Now there are four
4 Bunny Rabbits
3 Butterflies
2 Lady Bugs
1 Robin Red Breast

What do you spy?
Five sticks lying on the ground
Oh my they are alive
Count them 1 2 3 4 5
Five Earthworms building tunnels
I wonder where it goes?
Do you know?

5 Earthworms
4 Bunny Rabbits
3 Butterflies
2 Lady Bugs
1 Robin Red Breast

Look what is that?

Silky threads across the way
Six  Black Spiders knitting a web
During the hot summer day
The Leader Spider said:
"Knit one pearl two"
"Watch t out what you do!"

Count with me
 Knit 1 Pearl two
1 2 3 4 5 6
Black Spiders

6 Black Spiders
5 Earthworms
4 Bunny Rabbits
3 Butterflies
2 Lady Bugs
1 Robin Red Breast

Seven Japanese Beetles looking very lost
Taking out a map
Wonder where they took wrong turn
Only if they learn
How to use compass
North South
East   West
Seven Japanese Beetles are in quite a mess
Maybe they can take the tunnel
That the Earthworms are digging
My Gramma use to say
"Don't dig to far
You may end of in China!

7 Japanese Beetles
6 Black Spiders
5 Earthworms
4 Bunny Rabbits
3 Butterflies
2 Lady Bugs
1 Robin Red Breast

Look down on the garden ground
Eight Sand Fleas
Jumping here and there
And everywhere
Don't get to close
They will jump on you and me
We will start to itch and sneeze
Lets count them
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Sand Fleas

8 Sand Fleas
7 Japanese Beetles
6 Black Spiders
5 Earthworms
4 Bunny Rabbits
3 Butterflies
2 Lady Bugs
1 Robin Red Breast

Rib it  rib it
Do you hear that?
Look Nine Green Frogs in the pond
They are singing to the angel
"You are my Earth Angel Rib it "
"We are in love with you Rib it"
Nine Green Frogs singing in harmony

9 Green Frogs
8 Sand Fleas
7 Japanese Beetles
6 Black Spiders
5 Earthworms
4 Bunny Rabbits
3 Butterflies
2 Lady Bugs
1 Robin Red Breast

Ten Black Bats flying in the night sky
They have black angel wings
Flying in formation
Squeaking their high pitch communications
Watch out!
Run!
Hide!
The Stone Garden Angel will protect us!
Count 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Black Bats from Hell!

10 Black Bats
9 Green Frogs
8 Sand Fleas
7 Japanese Beetles
6 Black Spiders
5 Earthworms
4 Bunny Rabbits
3 Butterflies
2 Lady Bugs
1 Robin Red Breast


The sun is going down
The moon is going up
The Stone Garden Angel spread her wings
She flies pass the Man in the Moon
Pass the Milky Way
She is on her way
Right to Heaven's Gate
I wonder if she going to stay
It is time to close your eyes
And Say Goodnight
Tomorrow will come soon enough
Sleep tight
We will have to wait
For tomorrow to see she flew back
To you and me

I guess she really isn't all-alone!

Luna Guitar


Listen to the Guitar music in the moonlight
The Lighten' Bugs dances in the night
As I watch your finger strum the strings
Very sad melody to my ears it brings

As you play each cord
Your heart and soul is poured
A tear runs down my cheek
Your music blends with the running creek

A lonely wolf sings with your song
With eerie howls that last so long
You look up at me your eyes so blue
As the dawn approaching with morning dew.

A smile is on your face
Your lips on mine you take a taste
You reach out to catch my tear
You say to me life will go on my dear

You pick up your guitar and walk away
The wolf pace but stay a bay
The sun rises high in the sky
I hold my head up high

And I whisper to you
Goodbye…

Drawing Down the Moon

If I can't fly to the Moon
Then let the Moon come to me
Don't be afraid
She whispers to me
It is so quiet here by the sea
Watching the sun go down
Standing in the Moonlight
Gone is the Sunray
Gone is another day
Need to find my place
In the Human race
Into Outer Space
Letting the stress go far far away
The night will linger over my head
I should be in my bed
Instead following my soul
I am free of my weight
Deserved a better fate
Whispering up a pray to God
Drawing down the moon, comes from within
Surrendering myself in the arms of the Goddess
I know it sounds odd!
Arms stretch out as far as I can reach
I feel the night breeze on my cheek
The Moon is bright
Oh ancient light
Shine on me tonight
By the Shining one's Might!
I ask you...
Perfect your love, perfect your trust
I stand before you daughter of Eve
To come down on Me
Descend into the body
Since the beginning of time
Celebrate with cup of wine
I will honor you
Sing praise to you
Dance in the moonlight
Until morning, dawn light!
Drawing Down the Moon
Listening to peep frogs sing lovely tune

I work at Jo Café

In little town of Santa Fe

We are open 24 hours

The coffee is always brewing in the pot

Apple pie from the oven piping hot

.. 

Every night at quarter of three

This young truck driver with a hound dog and fleas

Sits at my table and place his order

He has a slight speech disorder

.. 

He always sits facing the back

He drinks 2 cups of coffee black

Eggs over easy and t- bone steak

I always admired his tattoo of rose and snake

.. 

He asks for his check and gives me a wink

I always ask him if he wants any more coffee to drink

He always shakes his head no

 But he ask for doggie bag to go

.. 

Now it just normal routine

Except for tonight

He slip out of sight

.. 

There in his place

Was red rose and note

To my delight

I sat down to read in the café's dim light

.. 

To the lady with a smile so bright

Always serving my eggs just right

Will you meet me in the dawn's light?

When you shift is done

For my heart, you have won!

Dark Tempest © Jaracas

I live on the Island of the Dead

Dark storm cloud move across the night sky

You are probably asking to yourself why

As I stand at the end of the wooden dock

I watch for your boat to return

.. -

Our job here is to bring the lost souls home

To help them move on in to the everlasting light

Souls that wander the land

They don't understand

.. 

We have the ability to communicate

 With the earthbound spirits

Sometimes they want our help

To finish their  business on Earth

Send their important messages to love ones

.. -

Time stands still on the Island of the Dead

Or at least it feels that way

Mostly when we help the spirits that gone astray

Sometime times I feel my life in only black and white

With shades of gray

..

Wrong and Right

Only here is the in between

They call me Queen Christine

Queen of the Unseen

Looking out dark blue sea

And up at the sky so serene

..

And your low sing song voice

My heart rejoice

I wonder how we were chosen for this job

You would say it's sailor's choice

.. 

But when I see the lost souls

Then I know the answer too

It is because of our love for mankind

For our love for God above

Combined

..

My Poem with 5 words

Red ship


The purpose of me sailing  my little red ship
Is  to see you blush
When I kiss your red lips
I tied my little red  ship  to trunk of a red bark tree
 Must been from the red forest seed
I lost my anchor in a storm  that expanse upon the Red Sea
That is why I tied it to the red maple  tree
In the first place
Now pucker up your red lips
Come on I don't want to beg or give you a chase
I am going take you back on my little red ship
Are you ready to take a little trip?
Christine

Mad Cat

I am the Captain's Cat

My duty Is to Kill the bilge rats

He calls me Bucko

We are sailing to t Morocco

I sharpen my claws on Belaying pin

 That be My only sin

..

I am even allow on the poop deck

Cabin boy scratches behind my ears and my neck

I play with the swing of lead

Sometime I fall in hogshead

Quartermaster pulls me out be fore I drown dead

..

I do chase the sea gulls

If I am really, good the cook gives me Cackle Fruit

My Captain hide is loot in his boot

Shhhh I did't tell you

Because Dead Man tell no lies

This little kitty does not want to die

.. 

I am cat with nine lives

Oh not cat o'nine tails

The crew and me sail

The ocean blue

Look the East storm be brew

Mew o Mew Mew

.. 

Love to Take a Caulk in the sun

To jump and run

The won't let me have a pistol gun

Powder monkey sometimes share his sally lunn

..

Pirate up in the crow nest

Land ho Land ho

Captain disguised dress

So he won't get arrested

He off takes pleasure trip

Stop pat me on the head kiss me on the lips

.. -

I will stay upon the ship

Because black cats are not welcome guest

No hemp jig for me

I just wait for this rat to digest

.. 

Captain and his crew

I give them my Mew o adieu

They are out on their quest

To find x marks the spot

Get all the booty

Maybe he by new yacht?

The magical tree by *soleildenuit

The Last Oak Acon

Follow the path to

"Sacred" old tree in middle of the Black Forest

Filled with the essence and energy

In the center where the Siver Creek runs

  An aura of power

 With The 5 Elementals and Mother Earth

Which is visible to those who are in total balance and harmony

Pure of Heart

Where they say there secret of life

Where the magical mushroom grows

The fairy dances and the unicorn prance


 Little child listens to the rustling oak leaves

And the caw of wrens in the trees

For divine messages

The Owl hoots twice

Once for wisdom

Once for patience

Listen you can hear whisper of the woodland animals

They sense the child's pure soul

Even the tiniest mole


Herbal pouch around her neck protected the innocent child

The might Oak Tree spirit hands her last acorn

Oak tree as powers over of the moon and night

The moon ray bathes the child in its light

The child is not afraid

She was born for this very day

With out her the moon will die

The stars will fall from the night sky

Only the sun would rule the universe

The Earth would shrivel up

Dust to dust

Ashes to ashes

But the child will save us

Dance of Life and Death

..

I walk the dark lonely streets in New York City

I used to be young and pretty

I came across Macy's store window

I stared though the murky glass

Just one bare light bulb lit

Gave an eerie glow

Shadows dance to and froth

A man dress all in black

Upon his head was top hat

He wink at me

I took step back

He started to hum a happy tune

Dance around with naked mannequin

I just watch and stare

 Being mesmerize

Sway to music

I was so lonely

A tear ran down my cheek

I watch him dress her

Arms and legs of wood

This way

That way

I just could

Not take my eyes of him

..

Beautiful gown was place over her head

I was thinking what fine life she had

Some one dress her from head to toe

Always staying in size six

Slim and just right hips

And just look at her ruby red lips

I think of my legs scared

I limp when I walk

My hands crippled with arthritis

My back slightly hump

He brushes her long black silky hair

With 100 strokes

I counted them

Now mine turn gray

Account of me being eighty-two

He touch her face

So creamy smooth

Not blemish to be seen

I took look at my reflection

I saw wrinkles

My eyes stare back at me

Milky film I see

They were once chocolate brown

Her eyes are turquoise blue

I put my hands upon the glass

I saw she wasn't wearing any shoes

He never looks up at me again

He continued to dress her

With diamonds and pearls

He never said a word

I took another step

Then another

And then one more

Before

I knew it

I was side by side

I let out cry

I decide immediately

I rather be her than me

Cripple, lonely and old

You see?

He looked up at me

With sweetest smile

He took my hand in his

The mannequin in the other

He asked me in deep voice

"Come dance with us"

"Set your soul free"

We twirl around and around

Faster and faster

I fell to the ground

I saw bright white light

I was going toward it

Felt so calm and peaceful

I knew in my heart and soul

Everything will be all right

Photobucket

Next morning

A little boy

Was yelling

Extra extra read all about it

Get your new paper here

A few lines type in black

82-year-old woman found dead

In Macy's, show room window

Know one knew how she got in there

No one claims her body

No one really cares

But, every night

When the employees go home

Everything is locked up tight

Around midnight

One light bulb lit

Listen very carefully

You can hear music in the night

Man dress all black

 Upon his head top hat

Dancing with mannequin

Her eyes color chocolate brown
