The Daily Poem
(335) January 24, 2010: It's All Because
|

IT'S ALL BECAUSE
The reason everything goes wrong
When people start to scheme?
It's all because they take along
The whip without the cream,
The pipe without the dream.
The reason everything goes right
When people start to play?
It's all because they leave behind
The X and take the ray,
The bomb and take the bay.

JOURNAL: Met with Marty at nine. Mom came along. Marty and Cathy were happy to see her after all these years. We asked Marty if he could refer us to a tax guy. He suggested Peter Rutman, his own tax accountant. We called him and he agreed to meet with us at noon. He works out of an office in his home. Mimi gave him a few documents for him to start reviewing. We'll bring in the rest next week. He's a very eclectic gentleman: tax accountant, philosopher, jazz musician, world traveler. We both have a good feeling about him.
Went back to CJ & Paige's for a few hours. Played with the kids. Got CJ set up on Skype and called Rashawna. She got to see Adin, Lily, and Caleb. Lyndon and Kendall were over at her place just hanging out. We had pizza from dinner and then took off.
Mimi and I keep hearing negatives about South America. Frankly we're getting a little spooked. We've decided to go to a travel agent to help us plan the South American segment.

I've enjoyed your poetry. You have the poet's eye. I'll follow your poetry on your blog. I've been writing every day for nearly a year now and I highly recommend it. You can do it too. It doesn't have to be difficult. Just let it flow each day as it comes. Don't let your expectations get too high, and don't look back with a critical. Celebrate the growing number of days rather than the quality of each day's poem. They will get better as you go. Enjoy. Keep in touch.

Hey there! This is Amber. I go to the readings at Higher Grounds a lot, and I found the link to your blog on the Town Crier website. It's great that you can write a poem a day! It's difficult for me, but I am gradually writing more poetry as time passes. I have a blog as well, but it's not nearly as updated as yours is.
It's http://nanotubes.wordpress.com.
I was going to say I hope to see you at the next Higher Grounds Open Mic, but it looks like you are going on a fabulous journey instead. I hope I can do that some day!
