ANIMAL’S GREETINGS

Hello my friends
and
Happy Mothers Day to all the moms

It’s been a pretty un snowy week these passed days.  Yep,  the
snow has all finally melted away and I can see a few little buds
on trees awaiting to sprout leaves.  The grass is even turning
greener by the day.  Maybe soon,  Judy and I can make a trip
down south to see my family and friends.  The one thing that
we’re hoping is that our car can make it,  being that when we
do decide to come down,  we will be bringing Benny and Milo.
In any case,  we are taking it one day at a time.  The weather
up this way is quite nice.  A little rainy,  but there have been
some bright sunny days.  Right now it’s 64 F and partly cloudy
with 20 percent chance of rain.  The forecast for the week is
lower to mid 60’s with maybe a day or so of upper 50’s.  When
we do go down south I’m sure we’re gonna melt hehehe.  Ok,
so it’s onto another topic.  I’m hoping that I get a chance to go
fishing sometime this year.  The last time I went fishing was
in 2010 or so.  Yep,  I miss my old fishing bud.  Brian used to
live in one of the trailers near us,  but moved to Houlton a few
years ago.  Maybe one day soon we can head out to the lake
again and try to catch some fish.  Other than that I might set
my conga drums outside a few days this summer and do some
drumming videos :).  Benny and Milo have been wanting to
stay outside a little longer now days due to the nice weather.
Yet,  Benny is still always in search of a patch of snow to sit
in.  He simply loves snow,  but there is non to be found now
with the temperatures staying above freezing.  We still have
a few nights that it’s close to freezing,  even a few that are
below freezing.  Monday night is supposed to be around 34
degrees and my weather program shows that maybe by next
Sunday the nights low will be 27 F.  So,  you see,  the weather
is quite a bit different than that of down south hehehe.  Judy
fixed us some EGGO’s and sausage for breakfast so I had to
stop writing for a bit so I could eat.  She did like I always do
and fixed the boys a couple of sausages a piece for them to eat.
It’s looking like the sun is trying to peek out from behind the
clouds.  I opened the window in here to let in some fresh air
and Judy said she let down the screen on the front storm door
so to also let in some fresh air in that part of the house.  That
is one thing I miss being able to do during wintertime hehehe.
Can’t open the screen,  because we would freeze and maybe
even end up with it snowing in the house LOL.  I do love snow
though,  but it does tend to get old after the 3rd or 4th month.
Benny and Milo are lying in the floor sleeping right now after
us finally getting it through their tiny heads that they are not
going to get any treats.  They’ve both had 2 little sausage
links and that is enough.  If they are hungry,  there is dried
dog food in their food pans. We need to finish up trimming
them,  being we had to stop the other day due to our backs
going out and Benny and Milo getting fussy hehehe.  They
still have a lot of hair that needs to come off.  We’ve already
filled up 2 WalMart bags with the hair we cut off the other
day hehehe.  They look so much smaller when we cut their
hair LOL.  Hehehe Milo is snoring quite loudly,  but that’s
nothing new hehehe.  He starts snoring when he’s sleeping
sound.  Benny has begun snoring a little bit lately,  but not
anything like Milo LOL.  Milo has asthma like his dad 🙂
We both have asthma attacks time to time.  When he has
one I reach down to calm him down and relax him so he
can get his breathing under control.  He knows I am there
for him.  It’s a connection we have.  Benny connected
with me the day we brought him home from the airport :).
He rode in my lap and due to him holding his bladder
for over 5 hours in a crate on his flight from Missouri
to us,  he peed on me sort of marking his territory,  but
I’m sure not on purpose hehehe.  Ever since that day
he has found my lap as a sleeping spot.  If I pick him
up,  he will soon lay his head on my arm and go to sleep.
Milo has found here recently that he loves for me to
hold him as well.  Problem is,  they want me to hold the
both of them at the same freaking time and it’s not
possible for me to do comfortably hehehe.  Yes,  they
are spoiled,  but they are good boys.   They know when
I mean business by the tone of my voice.  I’m trying to
teach them the words that go with my voice so that I
don’t have to raise my voice.  Yes I do have a loud roar
and can scare the pants off of Bigfoot hehehe.  Hey,
my nickname is Animal ya know.  I have a big dog bark
which can make most dogs sweat LOL.  Ok,  so off of
that topic :).  The county road is busy today.  That’s
something you don’t hear much of during the winter
other than snowplows.  The roads are most surely in
need of repair due to ice heaves which have left many
holes in the roads.  They’ll almost jar your eyeteeth
out if ya still have em hehehe.  I’m looking forwards
to going picture taking to snag a few gems.  There’s
a lot to take pictures of up here.  Judy and I will ever
so often head out on a picture taking adventure.  We
both love photography if ya couldn’t tell hehehe.  God
surely new what He was doing when He put her and
I together.  We have our bad days,  but the good days
make it all worth while.  Nobody knows what is best
for us but God.  He allows many lessons to occur
in our lives as time moves along.  We might view an
instance as just turmoil,  but many times that moment
will bring ones together that otherwise would have
never found their paths connection.  Many will only
focus on the bad times and not open their eyes to
greater possibilities.  Don’t let the passed days of
sadness to live as your only sight.  Now with that
said I reckon I need to be taking my little trip back
through all that I’ve written here to that place of my
recollection to try and find a good word or phrase
that I can use for the title for today’s brand new poem.
So,  it’s away I go to that lil place that I always like to
call RECOLLECT VILLE.  It looks like I may have
found a title that I haven’t use already hehehehe.
Yep,  ain’t used it!  So,  here goes.

Comfortably

Living life
of destiny
many find
just you and me.
Thinking true
so many things
comfortably
the season brings.
Yet so many
never view
what in life
that’s really true.
Thinking life
is moneys gain
comfortably
to then attain.
Money isn’t
always good,
for some don’t
do what they should.
Not allowing
God’s Own Love
speak to them
from up above.
Comfortably
can be found
when your on
God’s solid ground.
Let His Son to
guide your days
comfortably
within His Ways.
Yes of course
some troubles find
places in
your time to time,
but you’ll have
His strength so great
to achieve
a better date.

Well,  I never said it was gonna be a good poem hehehe.
I hope you enjoyed my rambling of words and maybe even
the poem :).  I just heard the front door close and went to
check and saw Judy sitting on the front steps giving Benny
a hair cut LOL.  I guess Milo is next hehehe,  but He don’t
know it yet.  He’s lying in the floor next to me.  Judy just
came in saying Benny got away from her hehehe.  After I
finish writing I will help her.  LOL Judy was cleaning out
the car and found in the glove box the cars registration
for 2014-15 hehehe.  We registered it in February hehehe.
I guess I better finish up here and put those stickers on
our license plates LOL.  So,  it’s time for me to tell you
what I tell you every week and that is,  I wrote some more
poems and haiku.  Yep,  10 more poems,  but this week
I wrote 2 Christmas poems :).  I also wrote 22 more haiku
for all of my haiku lovers out there.  I hope and pray that
you find one or two of one or the other or both that you
like.  Now it’s time for me to be searching for that silly
off switch that tries once in a while to hide from me,  but
not before I wish you a most wonderful blessed week and
also a Happy Mothers day.   Happy mothers day mom.
I love you bunches and look forward to seeing you again
real soon.  Ya never know LOL!  Ok so where’s that
off switch hiding?  Last week he didn’t even try to hide.
This time it looks like he decided to hide behind my
nose spray and would of stayed hidden if he hadn’t of
got it to rocking back and forth hehehehehehehehehe.
Gotcha,  see ya CLICK zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

God bless from Bill and Judy Pearce
and Benny and Milo

Now on with the poems and haiku
10 and 22 hehehehehehehehehe 🙂

Fear of Shadows

Scenes in darkness
might expose
a moments time
that no one knows.
Fear of shadows
little light
can become our
greatest fright.
Sometimes shadows
are just that
maybe a dog
or a pussycat.
Often shadows
imitate
floating clouds
that we debate.
Fear of shadows
can become
your own chosen
beating drum.
By not letting
shadows fear
live as things
you think you hear,
you can find
some other clue
of what’s really
there to view.

Mirrored Sights

Ones reflections
that they see
might not be
reality.
Many only
view their sight
as a better
form of light.
Mirrored sights
are often seen
as ones only
made up dream.
Let the mirror
show you true
how you’re needing
change in you.
Don’t let fiction
live each day
showing ones
a liars way.
You might find truth
sets you free
being who you’re
meant to be.

Behind The Eyes

Within ones sight
the brain perceives
behind the eyes
what time conceives.
The inner thoughts
of day and night
might be wrong
yet might be right.
Behind the eyes
so many view
maybe falsely
maybe true.
The minutes soar
with seconds size
with the thoughts
behind the eyes.
Surmised thinking
might fall prey
behind the eyes
of yesterday.
For then was then
and now is now,
so look and see
what times endow.
Find the better
answered why’s
from the thoughts
behind the eyes.

The Garden of Time

With flowers blooming
colors shine
found within
the garden of time.
Then with ticking
time moves on
to another
distant dawn.
The garden of times
summers breeze
shimmers sunrise
rustling trees.
Time moves on to
leaves that sway
with fall colors
day to day.
Then as minutes
move along
the leaves all fall
and soon are gone.
Time’s awaiting
winters show
found within
some flakes of snow.
Falling displaying
there design
found within
the garden of time.

A Dreamers Eyes

As heartbeats sway,
a dreamers eyes
brings about
a times surprise.
Venturing sunsets
of where to be
a dreamers eye
will try to see.
The many thoughts
of hearts desire
a dreamers eyes
display a fire.
Burning churning
many things
what a heartbeat
surely brings.
A dreamers eyes
can sometimes find
a fragrant rose
in scents of time.
Due to flavors
what’s and why’s
some will find
a dreamers eyes.

December Days

While watching clouds
of whites and greys
I’m reviewing
Christmas days.
Thoughts that live
as white as snow
falling down
a steady flow.
December days
of passion view
are as Christmas
love so true.
Lights all lit up
here and there
December days
of when and where.
Many singing
songs of joy
December days
that I enjoy.
Peace goodwill
through God’s Own Son
December days
are number one.

Snow Footsteps

As summer ends
it gives birth a view
with that of cold winds
blown there and to.
Then in the instance
that snowflakes fall down
there are snow footsteps
made on the ground.
With indentations
in Decembers snow
there are snow footsteps
made to and fro.
Leaving my footprints
mailbox and back
seeming to look like
a white railroad track.
Marking each footstep
with just but a phase
found as beginnings of
December days.
Christmas gets closer
as each day goes by
with the snow footsteps
that my feet apply.
Yet now is springtime
with summer to come
with me just dreaming of
white snowy fun.
With my snow footsteps
walking in phase
dreaming of Christmas
in December days.

Mornings Story

In the dawn of day
life breathes a sigh
sometimes found
hello goodbye.
Mornings story
many read
a simple sentence
all they need.
Words are found
in wind and rain
some to lose
and some to gain.
The story starts
with its own cue
mornings scenes
of newest view.
Displayed moments
certain scenes
might be as
some rushing streams.
Speaking phrases
little roar
as the stream
is shore to shore.
Mornings story
brings a place
that can give
a smiling face.
Seen with passion
of its glory
there are sights of
mornings story.

Many Miles

Traveling forwards
ahead with design
many miles gather
from their time to time.
Thoughts as tread marks
journey on
from time to time
another dawn.
Many miles flourish
with just a gaze
found as a whisper
of traveling days.
The scenes we pass
with miles we tread
leave their footprints
in our head.
Certain momentums
display so real
many miles
we see and feel.
Our other senses
come into play
with many miles
from day to day.

Sunflowers

Summer is coming
with sunflowers bloom
found in the essence of
May unto June.
Scenes so transfixing
are found oh so bright
as some sunflowers
are seen by daylight.
Changes awaken
in summertime’s sun
showing how weeds are
sunflowers done.
Bringing in colors of
yellow to see
displayed as beauty
for you and for me.
Sunflowers glimmer
in daytimes sunlight
then go to sleep
in the darkness of night.

Haiku
for May 10,  2014

Life is confusion
filled with many surprises
that we may not like.

Looks of a blind man
might just display their insight
and not their vision.

Many will stumble
as life displays surprises
they weren’t ready for.

Placing a marker
on a path you have walked on
will help you get home.

Morning brings sunrise
with its many forms of life
that some never see.

Spring becomes summer
as it fades from the picture
with summertime’s heat.

A bumpy roads life
leaves many parts of itself
in broken down cars.

Lives of a turnstile
will often just wilt away
leaving memories.

When counting seconds
the minutes might seem longer
than they really are.

Links to another
might be found in strange places
we never had thought.

Words of a liar
are often found not believed
even when they’re true.

The winds of winter
blow as a cold breath of air
that freezes your mind.

Receiving a kiss
can be a great thing to have
unless it’s a lie.

The names of people
do not determine their lives,
for it’s just a name.

Many seek true love
at the wrong times and places
and end with despair.

Learning who you are
gives better chances for growth
if you don’t give up.

Beyond what we see
are often just illusions
that our mind perceives.

With death there is life
which begins a new journey
that’s never ending.

Many seek better
when it’s right before their eyes
and they walk away.

Numbers are numbers
and do not decide knowledge
for some never learn.

Allowing a flower
to be crowded by some weeds
could suffocate it.

True love finds its time
when the dots are connected
in the right patterns.
