“IT”

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Humorous, Life49 Comments

It is what it is –
or so we say,
but who really knows
what it is today?
Where does it live?
What does it think?
Does it have eyes that blink?
Would I miss it
floating in mid air
like an atom with flare
or does it sit on concrete
in cold weather and heat?
What a thing to ponder,
This it we claim to know
Does it stretch to the sky
or lie very low?
Does it speak words, I ask,
with a face to see
or does it convey mystery
through a dark colored mask?
How perplexing,
digging up truth
about this infamous it
Does anyone have a clue?
Is there something we
can do?
If not,
Then I bid you
a friendly
Adieu!

Fever vs. Muse (Sequel to “Fever”)

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Humorous, Life, Women Health26 Comments

Sometimes inspiration pours

like water from a hose

full force, abundant supply

Then there are times

when the paper is stark white

and the inkwell is bone dry

I’ve been panicky and wondering

how long this drought will last

and when it departs

will it stay in the past?

Of course, there’s no way to tell

or would I hear chiming bells?

Well, one thing is for sure

Hot flashes cook brain cells!


This was inspired by my wonderful blogging sis, Deb,
http://adamsart.wordpress.com,
as she fed me the closing line. (Thanks, Deb)
Ladies, I hope you enjoy
and Men…   🙂

Fever

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Humorous, Life26 Comments

The weather and I
aren’t on the same page
Things seem to be moody
at this lovely life stage
One minute I’m fine
just dandy and smiley
The next, I’m fanning
and glowing, quite frantically
Someone made a booboo
and turned on the heat
It wasn’t nice to do
as I’m dying for some ac

Say, could you help me please,
maybe throw me a breeze,
a cold compress, or a spray bottle,
no less?

Oh, wait, it’s slowing down now
the wave seems to be calming
whew, I’m feeling much better
thank you for helping

Really, I’m fine
I’m not going to die
I resemble a human again
(as I lean back and sigh)

To all you women who can empathize;

Ripples

Hug a little
Jig a little
Kiss a little
Skip a little
Touch a little
Smile a little
Sigh a little
Try a little
Help a little
Laugh a little
Walk a little
Talk a little
Lend a little
Bend a little
Live a little

Monday’s Memo :)

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Fun, Humorous, Inspirational, Life45 Comments

Dear, Dear Weekend

Where have you gone

Your visit ended suddenly

I feel so forlorn

But I’ll make it through

the next five days

with smiles and laughter

Confidence and praise

I’ll miss you terribly

though, I’m grateful for this day

and it’s new opportunities

more input for my brain

So until we meet again

I bid you farewell

Stay happy and cheerful

Take care of yourself!

Here’s wishing you all a wonderful start to your week!

OBSERVATION

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Life, Melancholy33 Comments

The wind blows
around the corner
touching the man’s brow
His suit pressed to perfection
He smoothly slides into his posh car
and drives away

The bird’s cheerful song
complements the woman’s aura
as she busily chats on her cell phone
Her pencil skirt fits snugly
while she confidently hails a taxi

Across the street
Staying warm with his
old, worn beanie
and thin, weathered coat
huddled against the cold
brick wall,
He watches
and wishes
