Thoughts after Isaac & Zeek

I have been sharing poems for a few days and since Tropical Storm Isaac has sort of passed, I can write a paragraph or two. There is a lot going on around us and one of the major things that happened was the crash of Zeek Rewards. I never trusted it.

The safer ways to make money online is through writing and advertising for companies. I enjoy the writing and the pay eventually grows. I am able to learn a lot of new things as well. Writing works for me but I don't know if it can work for many. Most people want to get rich overnight. I am a slow and steady kind of girl. I just want to be satisfied and pay my bills on time.

To my readers, please pay attention to the many warnings - if it is too good to be true, it most likely IS! Live within your means and save what you can.

POEM: Alive

Beware
Be care...ful
but not full
of yourself
cause the self
is one a part
of the whole
and we
have to be wise
not sly
not shy
not a spy
but alive -
a life
that can inspire
a fire
in some
heart

POEM: My Peace

My piece is my peace
which never ceases
but instead releases
my love
my heart
and my soul
because as I go for the gold
I will stand strong and bold
and while I was told
that I was not good enough
I am tough
and I've made it through the rough
spots that came
that tried to out my flame
but in this game
I never stop
I never doubt
because I am on a route
that will take me far
and despite the scars
I'm gonna rise above the bar
and reach the pinnacle
so don't be cynical
cause this woman's peace
will never cease
and I will
persevere

POEM: Weird Poem

I try to be real, not fake
and I sometimes try to bake
cookies, not cake
but I can take
a walk by a lake
but for goodness sake
don't step on a rake
and don't run by the snake
because you'll turn into a flake
and start to shake
like a drum that quakes
You don't dare call me Jake
and don't try to wake
my spirit's insanity
cause vanity 
is not in my vocabulary
and bigotry
was deleted from my dictionary
so as I play with these words
I hope I struck a nerve
or made you smile
even just for a while
cause this style
is mine
and it's surely not fake
or a flake
it's just me
in my abstract poetry

Poem: Dull

I might not be the sharpest pin in the cushion
nor the brightest bulb in the pack
but I know that Jesus loves me
just as I am
so while you may sit and wonder
make up stories about fantasy
I've got my eye in focus
cause my God
does not discriminate
or encourages hate
so while I may seem dull
or poor or not so hot
it does not matter
cause God's got my back
and I'll make it

Prayer for August 13, 2012

Dear God,

I bring this prayer to you in humblesness begging for your mercy upon us. You are an awesome God and you made miracles in the past, today and you will forever. I pray asking for your Holy Spirit to guide us along the way. Keep us on the sheltered side, Lord and order our footsteps. Teach us to be patient, kind and giving. In your name I pray.

AMEN

POEM: My Prize

My eye is on the prize
and while I'm not always wise
I am a hard worker
definitely not a joker
cause poker
is not my style
and while
you may think and do
differently, I'm true
to my word
cause that word is like a sword
and it's best to stay on the right side
and glide with time
to develop your mind
cause one day
you'll find your way
and then you'll see it will pay
cause nothing good
ever comes the easy way
