Paula's Poetry

  Eid Mubarak Evening comes to every living creature. In the holy days of sacrifice, Eid Adha Depending upon one's financial ability Mature and healthy animals only are to be Uplifted to Allah, For God asks these animals Be held in honor of feeding the needy. All animals are to be treated with loving  Respect as He expects us to treat one Another. The animal may be a male or female Keeping the health and adult age treated with love. ~PLS/PCS~ 6.29.2023                                Happy New Year May it be Peaceful, Safe, Joyous, and Prosperous   photo byVolker Thimms pixels

 Marie Harris Thursday picture prompt Paula Shene Title: The Penny Arcade Barker The boardwalk promenade Heated by day under a blazing sun Evening into the winds of change Pretty fortune teller of cards, pick three Every foretelling a good one, days into years  Neath, the bangles and scarves, laid a heart  Nestled with love laced with sorrow Yearning for a life of reality, not a facade Acting stilted and frozen in a puppet show Resisting a smile or a frown, frozen in a frame Calling the card with a twist of the wrist Always an ace in the slide, children asked Dearest fortune teller, a cent or two only to view Evenings many have passed into ruin, the doll with Broken limbs akimbo left drained and lifeless Actress no longer just the painted marionette Raised from the dust to put on a show Knowing her lifeblood soon is just flakes Accenting childhood dreams without twinkling Reaching for the stars and racing with the moon. ~PLS/PCS~ 6,22.2023

  Monday thoughts with Waqas Paula Shene Theme Power of I Title: Lost in I am, Inner Self Talk Landing mid-century was no mistake. On my feet before they could corral Servant before two, keeping Sib safe Talked to my angels and My God, The I am Individual ways joined, and the inner play Needs were more mature and kept sway I was never alone, fearless but cautious. ' An ego not used without thought. Made to order, ponder all choices. , Into life enters the death of a father Next is the trauma of abuse, sullied Noting failures in a major love, knowledge Entering into a pact to excel, even with honors Ruined a career of choice, nevertheless marriage Status brought a joy of motherhood Entering a path always on an upward climb Learning that innate skills placed me on top Finally, admitting it was God's path I always wanted Timeout was taken to remind me of this to be done An eon ago, my path determined not to waver Leaving behind the voice of ego Keeping eyes on ground nee...

  I WEAR A WARNING LABEL I thank all those who ask for entry Wearied by hackers, the investigator stands sentry Ever ready to check all and the telltale sign Another scammer dressed in the deceased confine Raising a hand, asking may I come into your home Another reading looking for clues and giving a groan Well, look at that, do they feel that will fly? Again omitting, should I tell all, so you fix to get by? Righting your bloopers that are headlights to prey No, let you keep trying until you tire and say I will find an easier nut to crack, to bleed the vein Noting the times I knocked on this windowpane Gaslighting another would be easier fare Letting this one stew for a month or a year Although, eventually, she will be caught in my net Blowhards never believe their allure is not a get Entertainment aside, I thank all of you that fail Let me know you are honing my skills, not to go pale. ~PLS/PCS~6/26/2021

  Paula Shene   Confusion Citing the ills of today's society One word makes clear the anxiety Nature calls for freedom, dignity Freedom is needed so no malignity Usurps the God-given free choice Some bad, but listen to the majority's voice In each life, we take our path, good or bad Onus is on your choice, not because of sad Never lose hope; overcoming is life's tightrope. ~PLMS/PCSS~6.20.2022 photo by Holly Jacobs We are all feeling rising Babylon - the confusion that is infecting the world by the haves against the haves not. The lockups are because of disease and the fear put into one instead of assurance that all is well no matter what happens. We are in flesh vehicles that get dented, torn, and bruised. We are called to go on until the end when freedom of flesh into our spiritual world is once again. Pain and suffering, even joy and blessing here, are temporary, but one can choose either, even under the most horrific circumstances. Your spirit within is fed by feelings....

 Time ran out while busily stressed Hectic dash between dates fleshed Eternity called, and you calmly ceded  Divinity's voice harkened, yet you lingered. Insisting verbal release, holding my fingers Spirit of God took and reshaped your heart After humbling your ego, shot like a dart Preaching peace, bowing, asking forgiveness Learning to say I am sorry for my remissness In turning from foulness generational curses Null and void, and sons now fathers verses Anger for gentleness shaped the tone  Raising with love and few rebukes honed Into our lives walking a path eagerly taken Actor in a play for a while forsaken Never by God, only man needed redemption. ~PLS/PCS~6.16.2023   Happy Father'overs Day to All who serve in that capacity. The last year I wrote a specific post for Father's Day was in 2012. I was going to write one for my husband but told him that with all the anxiety and unfairness in our young grandchildren's lives, I would bump him, with his agreement, to t...

  Paula Louise Shene USA THE BULLY PSYCHOPATH  Throughout generational History of pain   Eons of tyranny Bluster and overpowering Usually this  Leads to justifying Letting oneself become a predator Young themself usually experience this Participating in cowering those  Smaller than themselves and   Young some survive to have more Children arrive, and soon they  Habitually are used to end the frustration On any pretext needing correction Parents need to foster a love  Angels come; no need to clip Their wings to become Hamfisted to the next generation. ~PLS/PCS~ 26.5.23

  RAINBOWS - A PROMISE Rain is a boon, and sometimes a flood Allowing crops to grow and some swept away In each life, the good and the bad comes with sorrow Nonetheless, we are made to overcome adversity Bygone days, Noah built an ark Only recently found on the mount, it was said settled Wonders of God's word told throughout the Holy books Settled, too, was a promise, no matter how bad the world Arrives at another new beginning, this time, the end is fire! People throughout the world are worried, and a few Even turn to God Almighty, the architect, the maker, Owner of all, and as we read the truth, the pages Prophesied mankind would fall into a heavy depravity Lessons need learning each generation, allowing slippage Eventually leading to the fall of a civilization or the whole world. ~PLMS/PCSS~6.12.2022 photo Erin Tuthill As a friend of mine says, some words are harsh, but she is only the messenger. The world is on the precipice. God enjoins us to humble ourselves and to pray. Thos...

  Thursday's Picture Prompt with Marie Paula Shene Blue Mood on Childhood Bathed in sadness Lathered by gladness Up and down goes Emotion that blows Moment to moment Over that loment Opening in maturity Not knowing surety Onward the dreams Nightly toiling themes Chasing rainbows Hurled into throes Instead of pleasant Landing as pheasant Deemed for the pot Hurried into mature rot Only let the child dream Of lollipops and cream Don't make sans promise. ~PCS/PCS~ 6.9.2023
