Topic: From Hubby
Freezing air,
As he stares;
At the quest before him.
.-.-.
Mounting his might steed,
A sturdy breed;
Roaring to life.
.-.-.
Snow billows,
Causing rippling waves;
Swirling beside the beast.
.-.-.
Exhausting feat,
Hard cold seat;
The hubby sits firm.
.-.-.
Hours later,
Clearing greater;
Mounds of snow stand.
.-.-.
The ground is free,
I agree;
“Coco please.”
.-.-.-.-.
I asked the hubby for a topic. It’s a great word but my mind was blank on inspiration. Thank you hubby. I told him the synonyms and this was the phrase he came up with on the spot: “The wave of rolling snow, as I plow.” I thought that was a great line of inspiration!!
I’ve been having trouble writing or coming up with ideas. My son has gotten a cold and all of my focus has been on my family. It’s seems like we’ve been sick more often than not.
Synonyms: analytical, intelligent, brainy, deep, scholarly, etc.
…
It’s a brain with feet;
Confident on the street.
People will stop and awe,
At the amazement of their jaw.
Intelligence is at its feet;
Challenging someone to beat,
But they will stay in their seat.
Thriving through life;
Taking it all in stride.
Who is this,
You may ask?
Not a chicken.
…
We have chickens this year. They are the dumbest animal I’ve ever raised. They just don’t understand the efforts the husband has made, to make their coop awesome. Instead of venturing outside; to discover the wonders of their space… they prefer to cower inside.
Eventually they will learn that when we open their door; they need to go out. Or they will learn that when we pick up the pool sifter pole…it means they have two options. Go outside willingly, or forcefully. Haha 😂
I don’t know what I was describing when I wrote the poem, because I only had chickens on my mind. I knew I wanted to throw everyone for a loop when I ended it the way I did.
Synonyms: bully, intimidate, badger, torment, harass, etc.
…
Shoved into a corner,
No one is for me.
The eyes are filled with hate,
The hands try to suffocate me.
Tormenting me alone.
Pressure making me crumble.
This will never change,
Everything will remain.
Unless I change.

Bullies are usually bullied as well. But the pleasure people get from bullying people is disgusting. No one should ever be seen as prey, or weak. But still it happens.
“Never Should Be.” By emily2jane 10-25-21
The only way to defeat the bully is for you yourself to become strong. Bullying can come in any form. Not just a physical aspect like you see in the movies.
But become strong. Be unwilling to change for anyone. When the bully can no longer control you with any means they will give up. But don’t just stop there. If the bully stops and moves onto another person; go and be that support for the new person. Don’t let them suffer alone. Help them build themselves up, and make them unmoving. And so on.
So you could read it from an heir point of view but I also saw parts of my childhood.
When I swam competitively, my dad had lots of expectations. He wanted me to be the best. That I should never fail.
Don’t get me wrong, I am already a super competitive person; but he took it too far sometimes.
The screaming at me because I failed to win, the ridiculing me in front of others, the threatening me about having to walk home out of shame, etc.
At some point I said he could no longer come to my swim meets. I think I was 10…? I forgot to tell him my lane and afterwards, he yelled at me in front of everyone. That time pushed me tears and I had to call my mom to come get me because my dad left me.
Not funny…but funny how different phrases can sting or bring back unpleasant memories.

But after that meet, my mom was my new supporter. She was great support. If I lost a race it was, “at least you didn’t drown” or “you did look like you were dying out there.” Haha! And if I won… “good job!” She was the best kind of support ❤️ Don’t get me wrong; my mom is competitive in her own way.
So I guess…parents out there that are competitive… remember not to go too far. My two year old already likes all kinds of sports… so I’m taking my own advice. I don’t want to continue what my dad did, but what my mom did. Maybe with a controlled amount of competitiveness. This is only referring to my daughter. If it’s me alone I’m going to be my ultra super crazy competitive person that I am!! My hubby won’t play games with me. ☹️
This actually happened to me yesterday morning. She woke up at 6:50am. Our sleep schedule is already wonky and I’ve been trying to slowly work my self back to a respectable wake up hour. We have gotten to 7:40am. Like clockwork. My body has been waking up exactly at 7:40.
So when she woke up at 6:50am…no amount of kisses were going to make me wake up.
But I think the worst part was, I fought her for maybe 15min before the hubby got up with her. Then I probably laid there for another 20min trying to fall asleep again.
But then like clockwork. 7:40am came by and she was blasting me with lights. It’s amazing when two year olds know. They just know….
Synonyms: misfortune, grief, misery, woe, distress, worry, blow, etc.
…
Life…
As we know it…
Is over.
Lava cascades down,
Fires blaze,
Panic is here.
Piercing with a knife.
Bodies in a fit.
Can you feel lower?
Chaos all around,
Where is the exit,
Of this life maze?
Relief…near?
Help me please,
In search of ease.
…
This poem could be anything…it could be some big event or even the smallest. For me I thought of my two year old when she behaves like the world is ending. Being two is so hard…
I’m currently on vacation. So I’ve been really bad about posting. I’ve just been enjoying time with family. Currently, for me, life is peaceful. Some stress here and there, but pretty much easy.
