Poem of the month (September 2008)
Who am I? by Rebecca Lerwill©

I love – and therefore - I am.
But who am I, really?

I’m roses and ruffles

I’m arguments and shuffles

I’m quick as a wit

and I can throw a fit.

I’m tattoos and memories

I’m a gun fight for enemies

I’m beer and popcorn

and proud to be German born.

I’m love and I’m laughter

a helping hand in disaster

I’m red glossy lips

and like mud to my hips.

I’m not just cats or dogs

I got eyes green like frogs

I’m Shakespeare and Poe

and I take on a foe.

I’m married and happy

I find TV shows mostly crappy

I got a thing for this land

I think to live here is grand.

I’m a leader and giver

I got much to deliver

I embrace the good Lord

and ignorance gets ignored.

I'm sunshine and rain
I'm teardrops and pain
I'm a no-nonsense gal
and could be your best pal

I'm adventure and dare
I'm an island and care
I'm springtime and fall
won't turn down a good brawl.

I’m horses and hay

I’m not much for cliché

I’m a free spirited mind

Yes – I like my own kind.

Poem of the month (August 2008)
Serenity (tanka) by Rebecca Lerwill©

Earth’s most perfect spot
wings, serenity and peace
victor over pain
deep belief in love prevails
vicious dragons will be slain
