Looking through Glass

Through glass I see doors,
Walls, floors, ceilings and faintly –
My reflected self

Outliving the heart
Of a grandma dear, this
Gift is mine once more

Breathing Words

November 24, 2014November 26, 2014Vonita 15 Comments

I took a risk in creating a blog
Only ever having read a few cooking blogs before

Not knowing what I will do with a blog
But feeling that it was needing to be born

So I created a blog, and gave it a name
And published a few words to begin

Poor baby blog was then discarded at will
For a while, maybe nine months at that

But waited patiently for me to return
It took a short while, but I never forgot

About a blog waiting silently for new life,
I returned to breathe words once again

So here I am, and there is so much to learn
And every new day, I will now joyfully embrace –

Every new post, every new thought, every new word
That flows from my heart, that my blog can display!

Inherited Treasure

A treasure of mine
Is a tapestry that was
From my mother’s hand

She bought this deeming
It to be so beautiful
And now it is mine

I have been sewing
Since 1996, hope
To be finished soon!

Cappuccino Confession

November 22, 2014Vonita 13 Comments

I was so busy
Waxing lyrical in my previous post
That I totally forgot
About my guiltiest guilty pleasure

Now that I’m reading other confessions
And hearing about frappucinos and caffeinated drinks
I am stirred to admit
A guilt trip I ride at least once per day

And so to prove the point
This evening at a Pilates Dinner
I was served a really good cup
Of my guilty pleasure – Cappucino!

No sugar, skim milk please!

“There Are No Strings on Me”

November 22, 2014Vonita 2 Comments

Everyone caught up –
Entangled in strings, I had
Strings but now I’m free

There are no strings on me

Thanking you, quotidianrevisions
For pointing us to those strings

Quotidian Revisions

Alright, Daily Post. I’m not sure if I can pick some songs to sum up my entire life…I wouldn’t even know where to begin. I do want to talk about something music-related today, though. One of my first posts on this blog was about my experience while looking up information about marionette dolls. I talked about an observation that there’s something about these kinds of toys that subconsciously creeps people out. The internet is filled with material which depicts marionette dolls as dark things, perhaps due to a general fear of being controlled by an outside entity and yet unable to control the self.

A few weeks ago, I was informed of an interesting development which reaffirmed what I found about the general feeling about these dolls. If you haven’t yet heard, there’s going to be a new Avengers movie! See the trailer below, and listen closely to the music:

Did it sound familiar? It…
