Do I need fifty dollar words,
candlelight and wine
to express what’s on my mind?
I’m not one to write
heartfelt emotions
in rhythm or rhyme,
no poet am I,
and fancy words can’t match
the hue in your eyes,
so I’ll be wise, take my cue
and simply whisper
“I Love You”
An oldie from my poetry collection, Finding a Balance,
Something soft for this Sunday. ❤️🥂

I thought some ‘silly and fun’ would be in order after my last post. So, I pulled this oldie from my book, New Day, New Dreams. Wow, 2013 seems like 100 years ago!
Anyway, enjoy some Scrabble Soup!
First you need a thought,
nothing fancy
and it can’t be bought,
then add a spoonful of emotion.
There’s no magical potion,
although, I have a notion
you could include humor.
According to rumor,
laughter’s the best medicine.
It always has been.
Yet, contrary to giggles,
start some tears flowing
with a dash of melancholy,
or if you’d rather be jolly,
Don’t be coy,
Sprinkle in joy.
Now to spice up your mixture
(I think you get the picture)
toss in melody
with your favored tempo
and let your feet dance.
Feel the rhythm and
give romance a chance.
This is where you improvise
(write between the lines).
Follow your feelings.
Close your eyes,
peel off your disguise.
This is your recipe.
This is your vision.
Follow your bliss
and for a final touch,
Seal it with a kiss!

Are you smiling yet? I hope so!! 😄
And if you’d like to read some lighthearted, fun, and romantic
poetry, New Day, New Dreams fits the bill and is available on Amazon.💜
Have a wonderful day! The weekend is just around the corner!
~ Lauren 🤗😄🥰❤️
Sun spills in
through billowing curtains
gently though
so not to startle dreams
Sated bodies delight
in love tangling
Sheets silky soft
caress skin
nothing can compare
to this moment
that shouldn’t end
but we bid farewell
to moonlight
knowing we have sunlight
to share

Enjoy the romance and the weekend. ❤️

Swinging from the chandelier
I’m overwhelmed from toes to ear
I know it’s time to walk the frog
Can’t just sit, type, and blog
I’d love to dye my hair bright red
Could you spare a needle and thread?
Reaching for the coffee cup
Time to fill and pet the pup
In the wind, I feel so free
Would you like a cup of tea?
I’d love to swim and read a book
It’s five o’clock, what shall I cook?
Staring at the vacuum cleaner
I wonder why the fish are meaner
Planets aren’t aligned, at all
Let’s go shopping at the mall
I could talk and talk for miles
but only if you share more smiles

I thought some Friday silly would be in order
to bring some laughter and smiles into your day.
❤️❤️❤️
Visualize it: Close your eyes. Get in the zone, and focus solely on your wish – Nothing else! Another idea is to make a Vision Board. Have you heard of these? Cut out photos from magazines that represent your wish. Or, if you’re super creative and skilled, you could draw, draw, draw!
Believe it: Don’t let the face of doubt stare you down into a puddle of self-pity.
Don’t let the hand of negativity hold you down in the sinkhole of “I can’ts.”
Do it: Take action! If you think by sitting on your sofa – remote in one hand, popcorn in the other – is going to make your wish a reality…think again!
Today’s a new day
for that baby step
Don’t even look back
just take a deep breath
Don’t listen to words
that may keep you still
Optimism is your friend
along with your will
Keep your dreams in view
not allowing them to stray
With fear on the sidelines
You Can Be Brave
Instead of your heart
wear strength on your sleeve
Stay focused with soul
and in Yourself, Believe!

After years of talk and a few months of action, the final product is here. I have all of my family to thank for their ongoing support and encouragement and, of course, all of you, for your “likes” and “comments” that gave me the courage to take this step. Without you, this wouldn’t be a reality!
I want to specifically thank my husband, Matt, for being the source of inspiration for many of the poems, my daughter, Stephanie, for her expertise editing, and my son, Michael, for his beautiful cover photo and for taking my “signature” author’s photo, as well.
My first collection of poetry, “New Day, New Dreams” is now available to order from my publisher, Xlibris, as well as, Barnes & Noble and Amazon.
