ANIMAL’S GREETINGS

Hello my friends

First off I want to wish everyone well that was
hit by Hurricane Irene. It’s looking like it’s been
downgraded to a tropical storm now as it heads
up our ways. Yet the rains alone could cause a
lot of problems for us up here, being we’ve had
rain almost every day if not every other day since
the snows stopped in April and our grounds up
here are literally saturated. Just a few inches of
rain could flood some areas. None the less, God
is in control and it will all work out. Ok, so it’s
on with the journal. Judy and I prepared as best
that we could. We bought some bottled water
and batteries along with a few other necessities.
We figured that if the hurricane made it up here,
then it wouldn’t matter too much LOL. This old
trailer barely withstands 50 mile an hour winds.
Anything over that, we might as well prepare to
be relocated, because it’s gonna blow away hehe.
We did our farms in FB on FarmTown last night
and then we played our hidden object games till
late. Right now it’s just sprinkling outside, but
it’s supposed to start raining hard a little later on.
There’s not much about last week to talk about.
Pretty much same old stuff LOL. Judy went over
to her moms yesterday and prepared her for the
upcoming storm by filling her bathtub with water
just in case we lose our electricity. Being on well
water as we are up this ways, when the electricity
goes out, so does our water LOL. She made sure
she had good batteries for her flashlight and radio
as well as a few other things. We’re as ready as
we can be. Judy’s in bed right now watching the
Weather Channel keeping up to date on Irene’s
whereabouts and structure. I’ll be glad when it’s
passed. This has sure been a weird year. We’ve
gotten tornadoes and earthquakes that we don’t
normally get up here and Texas got over a foot
of snow that it does not normally get. Yep, it’s
looking like things are changing. I’m glad we
didn’t get the heat that Texas and other states
got being we don’t own an air conditioner and
don’t even have a place to put one. Our windows
open sideways LOL. All 3 of our neighbors have
air conditioners, but their mobile home windows
open up and down like they should LOL. Our
trailer is screwed. Oh well, I thank God for the
breezes He sends us. Life is good. We will have
a few pitfalls in life, but that’s what keeps it
interesting. If we knew exactly what to expect
every day of our lives, there would sometimes
be moments that we’re overwhelmed with fear.
Dealing with things day to day is on most cases
the only way I can survive. So if right now your
seeing but only fear for the tomorrows that have
not yet arrived, then take a breath and just do
your best with today. If you take care of today
then tomorrow will be OK. Hehe, a little poem.
Let God have control and it will all work out
for the better. We have no clue what the better
is, so trust in Him. All we need to do is do our
very best with our part in life. Storms will come
and go from day to day, so keep your ship strong
in The Lord as you sail the sea of life. I think it’s
time for me to be revisiting all that I’ve written
here to see if I can find a good word or phrase
that might work well for the title for today’s
brand new poem. So, it’s off I go to that place
that I like to call RECOLLECT VILLE. I think
I may have found a good title. Now, let’s see
if I can write a good poem using it hehehehehe.
Here goes!!!!

No Clue

Time might show
a sight we see
as a sign
we have no key.
With no clue
of there and then
time might show
where to begin.
Then might seem
as said and done,
but in fact
a change begun.
Our tomorrows
seen today
we’ve no clue
as they display.
We might know
a certain piece,
but no clue
of thens release.
Only God knows
truly so
how tomorrow
will bestow.

I hope that poem made a little sense to ya hehehe
and you enjoyed all of my rambling of thoughts 🙂
Well it’s still sprinkling outside and I can here Judy
moving around in the bed from one end to the other
as she watches the Weather Channel. We might get
some real high winds if my PC weather program is
as accurate as it usually is. Right now it’s saying we
could get 55+ mile an hour winds tonight and around
40 mile an hour winds today. I hope this trailer can
hold together hehehe. It’s withstood 50 miles an hour
winds in the past, but you could feel it rocking hehe.
Keep us in your prayers. Hehehe better yet, keep
our mobile home in your prayers 🙂 We’ve already
got flash flood warnings for most of Maine, but so
far we’re not included in the areas hehehe. We live
on high ground. There has been flooding most every
week for many months now for many parts of Maine.
So they don’t need anymore rain. I myself am sick
of it. Sure wish I could send some of this down south
to my friends and families in Texas and thereabouts.
I’m sure yall would be thrilled to get some of this.
It’s pouring rain outside now. I guess it’s time for
me to be telling you what I tell you every week and
that is, I wrote some more poems and haiku. Yep,
10 more poems with 2 of them Christmassy and 22
more haiku for all my haiku lovers out there hehehe.
I hope you enjoy a few of them. Now it’s time for
me to be searching for that old off switch, but not
before I wish you a most wonderful God filled week.
Remember, Jesus loves you and we do too. Now,
to find that dad burned off switch that loves to elude
me. Found it dancing in the rain. You silly thing,
hehehe ya act like you’ve never seen rain. Get in
here this minute and quit being silly hehehehehehe.
Gotcha, see ya CLICK zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

God bless from Bill and Judy Pearce

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

Lessons Fly

Days roll by
with winds of time
with a sigh
of their design.
Scenes are found
from here to there
sky and ground
so debonair.
Days roll on
till timing ends
with the dawn
how it begins.
Pages turn
as scenes of age
with to learn
the things on stage.
Days of past
from memories
shine a cast
of shadowed trees.
Lessons fly
with good and bad
from the times
of which we had.

Don’t Rush

Hearts afire
burn with love
given from
Lord God above.
Hearts so true
with desire
show the signs
of raging fire.
Yet if flames
are not so true
then the signs
will go askew.
Hearts that turn
as pages torn
will be found
will sadness born.
Make your heart
to truly show
what’s within
and what will grow.
But don’t rush
the moments true.
Let God give
the times to you.

Giving Thoughts

A hurricane
with winds that blow
might confuse
the daily show.
It might be
a moments flame
just to be
a hurricane.
Sometimes things
of which we see
are no more
than history.
Signs of times
from then and there
show us what
that none compare.
Giving thoughts
of how to view
now and then
for me and you.

Moving Forwards

Moving forwards
times expose
frames of mind
of highs and lows.
Looking backwards
ones might see
their regrets
from history.
Moving forwards
only shines
when we’ve learned
from thens designs.
So use lessons
you have learned
moving forwards
now discerned.
Leave the backwards
views of then
as the lessons
to begin.

Seeing Christmas

Seeing Christmas
as I do
it lives on
in how I view.
Scenes so blessed
such as then
bring to me
a way to win.
Seeing Christmas
as a light
gives to me
a wondrous sight.
Such as blessings
here and there
found through times
of Christmas prayer.
Seeing Christmas
wondrous view
can bring joy
that is so true.

The Summer’s Day

Summer’s found
with raging heat
also with some
burning feet.
Ones upon
a beach of time
find their feet
of burned design.
Summer’s seen
as sometimes viewed
ones just bathing
in the nude
and it’s them
of raging fire
that will find
their burns entire.
Summer’s also
found with splashing
in the waves
of summers thrashing.
Ones just searching
for that wave
found within
the summer’s day.

So Many Thoughts

Hearing now
the songs that play
I recall
a distant day.
A song from then
of long ago
comes to life
in to and fro.
Heard as time
with scenery
I recall
my history.
Hearing now
those songs that play
I can see
on passed the gray.
All the songs
of timeless notes
are as journeys
moments boats.
Sailing through
my oceans mind
the memories
just then unwind.
Filling up
so many thoughts
with a time
that once was lost.

Christmastime Joy

Wintertime’s coming,
but we can’t see
through all the summer’s
of hottest degree.
Summertimes ending
will be found in place
with seasons changing
a moment of face.
Fall will come surely
with its design
then it will leave us
for thens wintertime.
Winter will come in
with fluffy white scenes
white snow abound us
that once were of greens.
Christmas will surely
be then displayed
within the winter
of moments then made.
Born through a segment
of Christmastime true,
then will show blessings
within every view.
Glistening tree lights
and houses aglow
lit up through Christmas
and flavored with snow.
So if the summer
is bringing you down,
try to remember
what will come around.
Christmastime joy
with memories to find
can live each moment
right now in your mind.

A Simple Choice

A simple stage
of written lines
can become
unwanted times.
A simple page
of heard and said
can become
a ton of lead.
A simple scene
of minutes hue
can become
forever’s view.
A simple thought
can become
a better scene
of beating drum.
A simple choice
from history
can become
some good to see.

Grab Those Blessings

Morning comes
from which it came
found within
my window frame.
It brings sights
into my room
with its fragrance
before noon.
Mornings shadows
are then found
that of birds
with sight and sound.
Mornings blessings
come awake
from Lord God
for us to take.
Grab those blessings
in the day
before morning
goes away.

Haiku
for Aug 27, 2011

People with heartaches
often are the creators
and do not know it.

Tomorrows limits
are put on ourselves through time
sometimes through failure.

Summertime’s scenes
are as echoes of children
splashing in a pool.

Living for today
can make tomorrow a dream
that has yet come true.

Sorrow that’s harnessed
can become tomorrows strength
so don’t let it win.

Cleaning a window
might give you a clearer view
so look with clean eyes.

Seeking yesterday
will leave tomorrow without
no room for today.

Sprinkles of raindrops
come as summertime’s shadows
and whispers of time.

The littlest sound
is heard by someone somewhere
at some time or place.

Beyond our viewpoints
live a ton of emotions
we’ve misunderstood.

A painted heartbeat
might have many wrong colors.
Make sure it is true.

Similar people
might have some differences
that you cannot see.

The lines on a face
show time and how it travels
with some smiles and frowns.

Reaching for Jesus
needs be done with a true heart
and not just display.

Bringing a heartache
to a future moments dream
can cause a nightmare.

Many seek for Jesus
as the last thing that they do.
Don’t keep God waiting.

Beyond this moment
lives a chance for our choices,
so don’t screw it up.

Leaving a shadow
where a minutes sorrow thrives
can destroy your hope.

Let tomorrow live,
but only in its timeframe.
Live now in today.

Patience is golden
as waiting for the right time
brings forth your blessings.

Yesterdays troubles
can be as good memories
if you have survived.

Hiding from the truth
leaves some shadows to be seen
that you cannot hide.

ANIMAL’S GREETINGS

Hello my friends

The days have all rolled by and my day of rambling
has returned once again hehehe. How have you been?
I hope the days have been good to you. Ok, at least
one or two of em hehehe. Well, the weather up this
ways is pretty much same as always. Rain, rain and
more rain with a couple of days of sunshine/clouds.
We did have three days last week with sunshine and
that was nice. It was getting to be that every week
was followed by flooding in some area of Maine due
to rivers overflowing. It’s a far cry from down south
in Texas and thereabouts. I sure wish we could send
some of this rain as well as temperatures down to
them. It’s supposed to rain again this evening and
the high for today is supposed to reach 79F degrees.
It’s 70F degrees right now at 10:30 in the morning.
Not too bad for the later days of August huh! Nope,
not too bad and I’m glad cause we ain’t got an air
conditioner. Just a few fans. I guess it’s time for
me to be moving along with this journal huh hehehe.
So what’s happening up this ways? Good question
and as soon as I find a good answer I’ll let you know.
LOL, we’re still doing our same old same old stuff
day to day, but a little difference was in this week.
Judy and I went over her older sisters house and
watched our granddaughter and her cousin playing
in the little swimming pool. Yep, I took pictures
of them splashing about. I thought about wading
in with them, but aside from the fact that I didn’t
have a bathing suit, the water was freaking cold
as all get out. Hehe you could see them shivering,
but having a blast. I might put one of those pictures
in the stationary, but don’t hold your breath hehe.
Though I just might put one or two LOL. It was
a beautiful day Thursday, but clouds were rolling
in as the day wore on hehehe and it rained later
that evening. That’s the way it goes. Although
the last few days have been rather nice with some
sunshine and clouds. I adore clouds. They are
the decor in the sky. Do you remember Bob Ross
the painter? He would almost always paint in a
few clouds and never be seen to not put in a few
happy little trees here and there hehehe. I used
to watch him every day he was on television. Too
bad that he passed away at such a young age, but
his work lives on. That’s the same as us. When
we die, our bodies are gone, but we will live on in
others, so make sure you leave a good memory.
Don’t spend your life hurting and deserting ones in
your everyday life. It could come back to haunt
you. Let God shine in your life with everything you
do or at least as best that you can. I know we all
from time to time lose our patience and tempers,
but learn the act of forgiveness and letting go of
the anger and sadness. Look for the joy in each
day that comes to be. Share a smile and kind word
with others even if you may not feel like it. It just
might turn into the real thing before you know it 🙂
Now I believe it’s time for me to be heading down
memory lane through all that I have written here
to see if I can 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 place of my recollection
that I like to call RECOLLECT VILLE. I think
I may have stumbled upon a good title. Now let’s
see what, if anything at all, I can do with it.
Here goes……

Hurting and Deserting

Tomorrows journey
might fill us with pain
from all the moments
we did time again.
Hurting and deserting ones
each day to day
might turn reflections
into your display.
You might find sorrow
of your own accord
if you seek selfish
and not of The Lord.
Hurting and deserting
leaves ones memories
of what you’ve done
with the falling of leaves.
Time brings a journal
of what you have done,
so let God Guide you
through His Only Son.
Tomorrows journey
can be better seen
if you’ll let Jesus
to show grasses green.

I hope you enjoyed my rambling and maybe even
the poem LOL. Hopefully I didn’t put ya to sleep.
But then if you were needing rest I hope it did give
you some relaxation and hehehehehe a little sleep.
My neighbor is mowing outside my window right
now and it makes it a little hard to concentrate,
but I’ll make it. HEY, his mower stopped hehehe.
So quick while it’s quiet with the only sounds in
my hearing range being mellow music from the
radio hehehe, I’ll try and finish this. So I guess
it’s time for me to be telling you what I tell you
every week and yes this week I wrote some more
poems. 10 more to be exact, but I wrote one
poem the other week that I didn’t share being
I reposted some of my old poems from years
back. So this time you’ll have 11 poems with
one dated Aug 8, 2011 and the others I wrote
half on Tuesday and the others on Saturday 🙂
I wrote 22 more haiku Saturday as well. So my
dear friends, you have a lot to read and I hope
and pray some of it brings you a smile or helps
you with a problem you may be having. OK,
so I reckon it’s about time for me to begin my
search for that freaking off switch, but not
before I wish you a most joyful and God filled
week. Remember, Jesus loves you and we
do too. Now to find that silly off switch so
I can cease this incessant writing hehehehehe.
Found it this time hiding by my camera acting
as a picture. OK, so smile you silly thing 🙂
Gotcha, see ya CLICK zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

God bless from Bill and Judy Pearce

P.S. Oh yea, one of the poems is to Judy and
another is a Christmas poem. LOL, see if you
can tell which one’s which hehe. Also this time 🙂
I remembered to put the haiku in so I don’t have
to resend this thing like last week LOL… Enjoy

Now on with the poems and haiku
10+1 and 22 hehehehehehehehe 🙂

Today’s A Day

Today’s a day
that came with tools
from the times
we were as fools.
Now can blossom
lessons galore
if we’ll focus
on what can be more.
Leave the days
of misery
as a lesson
from history.
Look past troubles
of then and there
and take time
to kneel in prayer.
Today’s a day
that now can show
greater things
for you to know.

Sometimes Clouds

Clouds of gray
from skies of blue
show some features
in our view.
Sights are seen
from here below
as some clouds
as white as snow.
Sometimes clouds
will form designs
as a house
or farm combines.
When the rains
fall from their space
they are that
of God’s Own Grace.
Clouds of gray
will come and go
while they sometimes
fade and grow.

True Love Beating

A heart from then
finds now and there
with a frame
of know not where.
Time begins
its journey through
here and there
with me and you.
Simple moments
seen and heard
might now seem
a bit absurd.
A heart from then
finds moments cued
what that’s often
misconstrued.
Minutes passing
brings to play
moments fears
from day to day.
True love beating
will hold true
if it lives
in me and you.

Do The Best

Onwards time
might seem to pass
seeming as it’s
way too fast.
Seconds minutes
seem as days
as they seem now
out of phase.
Nows tomorrow
might be seen
as a moments
red and green.
All remembered
might move on
as it finds
another dawn.
If confusion’s
on your face
search to find
that happy place.
Don’t let minutes
worry you.
Do the best

Summers Paintings

Sounds of summer

with the echoes
seasons race.
Scenes around me
come in sight
in the summers
day and night.
In the meadows

Summers paintings

Crescent Moon

A peaceful scene

In the nighttime
scenes become
as some hearts own

Often romance
shadows gleam
are as beauty

A peaceful scene
within the night
are as shadows
dimming light.
Hearts afire
true as gold
live within

A peaceful scene
of lovers place
finds God’s beauty

Through The Night

Sounds of silence
through the night
seem to echo
left and right.
Yet the music
that plays on
just continues
until dawn.
Making silence
better seen
found within
a moments dream.
Many sounds
from there and then
seem to be
where times begin.
Sounds of silence
still are heard
without voices
of a word.
Many echoes
in the dark
are where silence
does embark.
Such as fragments
will and way
that enlightens
break of day.

I Now Remember

I can remember
a time long ago
when I was younger
and playing in snow.
A wonderful moment
when I was so small
I can remember
then standing so tall.
I can still feel it
the feelings that day
inside my mind now
as I dream away.
All of those moments
of much younger years
brought me the minutes
right now so endears.
I now remember
those times as I do
as if they’re living
right now so anew.

When Seasons Are Askew

With the seasons
there are times
with their wondrous
own designs.
Seasons changing
day and night
bring the pages
I delight.
Yet there’s also
seasons view
that will sometimes
seem askew.
Such as winters
brought so green
just like Texas
has been seen.
But the winters
up in Maine
bring the winters
ones complain.
With the coldness
to and fro
and the sight of
deep deep snow.
So when seasons
are askew
look to find a
better view.

Heavens Hopeful

Heavens hopeful
finds a place
filled with moments
saving grace.
Godly blessings
sometimes found
may not seem as
oh so sound.
Yet the blessings
that God sends
are the needed
moments winds.
We may see them
as just pain
and not see
the minutes gain.
The angels born
of every day
are much more
to show the way.
Giving strength
from God above
with His hopeful
heart of love.

It’s remembered

Also Christmas
is the day
that brings blessings

Brought by Jesus
God’s Own Son

Haiku
for Aug 20, 2011

The sound of chirping
brings to life a summers morn
as birds gather round.

In but a moment
time will be just a shadow
of its mere moment.

The fragrance of time
can be determined as views
created by scent.

A mower mowing
brings to life the scented smell
of freshly mown grass.

A mornings breakfast
gives the day a fighting chance,
so take time to eat.

Still waters stagnate
leaving no growth to be seen.
Don’t be a puddle.

Misery seeks others
as a fly on fly paper
stuck waiting for friends.

Ignoring problems
might make them get much larger.
Find how to solve them.

In a mere shadow
lives the voice of a moment
gathered throughout time.

Scenes within minutes
can become actors on stage,
so don’t be stupid.

Letters in our words
create many expressions
often misconceived.

Painting a painting
needs many patient brushstrokes
of what’s in the mind.

Tempers that explode
might cause the wrong emotions
to the wrong person.

Simple sighted days
move as echoes in a trance
with simplicity.

Searching memories
sometimes makes many look good
that were not so well.

The scent of flowers
in the dawn of the morning
brings joy to my heart.

A small daffodil
grows amongst many others,
but shines of itself.

A paper morning
that’s drawn to its conclusion
might seem as insane.

While catching a breeze
you can ride amongst the waves
as a ship in time.

Hunting for peaceful
needs be done from the inside
through God’s only Son.

Today’s confusion
could be of your own making
and how you view it.

Pouring emotions
as waters on a desert
might find no feelings.

ANIMAL’S GREETINGS

Hello my friends

So how have you been? It’s been pretty quiet around
these parts. As usual we’ve had rain almost every day
or every other day. Today there is a 62% chance of
more rain LOL. It rained yesterday evening and into
the night off and on. Yep, I wish I could send some of
this down south to my friends in Texas and thereabouts.
They are frying down there. Today’s high for up here
is supposed to be 79F degrees. Not too bad. Oh yea
I went fishing with my bud Brian yesterday. Neither
of us caught any fish hehehe, but I caught a few good
pictures with my camera as we floated on the lake.
It was cloudy, but then the clouds made the artwork.
It started clearing up a bit after we were out there
for a while, but yesterday evening the dark clouds
began rolling in once again. Judy and I walked out
to check the mail and heard a loud clap of thunder
nearby and knew that the rains would soon follow.
Right now at 11 AM it’s 74F degrees. Judy is still
asleep. We were up late last night watching TV or
should I say she was. I nodded in and out every
once in a while being that’s the only kind of sleep I
get. Catnaps keep me alive. Sure wish I could sleep
like normal folk, but I ain’t normal by no means.
Nope, I’ve never been normal. So be it hehehehe.
Judy and I have been enjoying our time together.
Although we do need time to ourselves which was
part of the reason I went fishing yesterday, being
I could care less if I caught a fish or not hehehe and
I enjoyed just floating in the lake taking pictures.
I thought Judy would like some time to herself and
it did me good to get out of the house. Everybody
needs some time to themselves. Judy goes every
once and a while and spends time with her sisters
and leaves me at home. Not complaining. It gives
me time to myself. Yet I do wish I could see and
spend some time with my friends and family that
are now 2100 miles away. With funds as they are
and my health issues it prevents me from flying or
driving down there, so I try to keep in touch by
phone and internet. I thank God every day for
the phone and internet, for many years ago if
you lived just few hundred miles from friends and
family you may not of seen or heard from them
but once in a great while through slow message
transactions, being riding by horse or walking
without any form of long distance communication
made it very uncommon. Nowadays we can see
and talk to ones we love via internet and phones.
It may not be in person, but it’s better than it
has been. So thank God for all of the blessings
you have received and quit focusing on only
the negative. Life can be changed by changing
your perception of it. Now it’s time once again
for me to begin my little venture back through
all that I’ve written here to see I can find a good
word or phrase that I can use for the title for
today’s brand new poem. So, here I go to that
little place of my recollection that I like to call
RECOLLECT VILLE. I think I might have
stumbled upon a good title. Now let’s see what
I can do with it hehehe. Here goes………

Life Can Be Changed

Today’s a day
that might seem deranged
but my dear friend
life can be changed.
By your perception
of all that you’ve known
you can make better
the life to have grown.
Sometimes the bad times
might stand on stage,
but you can change them
by learning from age.
Life can be changed
if you now today
learn how to look from
a different way.
Let your perception
to be better found
with that of blessings
of all there around.

Ok so there ya go. I hope you enjoyed my rambling,
all though it was sort of short and sweet wasn’t it LOL!
Also, I hope you liked the poem and understood it 🙂
Well, I’m hungry hehehe and it’s hard to write when
your stomach is growling. So to cut this short and get
on with it, I guess I need to tell you what I tell you
every week hehehe, but this week as I’ve done in the
past, I didn’t write any poems. I was going to write
them Saturday morning before Judy got up, but then
Brian sent me a message Friday night asking me if I
wanted to go fishing Saturday morning, so I never
got the time. No problemo hehehe. I thought that
I would share some of my old poems from my 2006
Animal’s Greetings hehehehe. I wrote a few more
poems back then, but didn’t share haiku then, so
this morning I wrote some. I accidentally wrote 25
haiku instead of my regular 22 hehehe. I should be
back in my regular routine by next Sunday hehehe.
So there are 12 poems dated Aug 12, 2006 for you
to read. I’m sure many of you have not read them.
I reckon it’s about time for me to be searching for
that old off switch, but before I do that I must wish
you a most wonderful God filled week. Remember,
Jesus loves you and we do too. Now to find that
freaking off switch. Hehehe I see ya there hanging
from the chandelier. Come down here this minute.
Gotcha, see ya CLICK zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

God bless from Bill and Judy Pearce

Now on with the poems and haiku
10+2 and 22+3 hehehehehehehe 🙂

Storming Clouds of Pain

Storming thoughts
from times away
are in there minutes
day to day.
Playing saying
what they know
from remembered
long ago.
They hinder thinking
to a degree
of looking truly
to clearly see.
I pray now for
some peace today
to take the storming
times away.
Lord my Father
I pray to You
to make today
a sky of blue.
Take the storming
clouds of pain
and cease their painful
daily rain.

Done Your Best

Little thought there
won’t you stay
and have a little
rest today.
Cease your running
here to there
and sit a while
and say a prayer.
Little thought there
won’t you smile
as you face each
little while.
End the thinking
more to do
and little thought then
think so true.
Take the thinking
thoughts acquired
and then little thought
be inspired.
Think a little
about what not
and then rest then
little thought.
Thinking needs be
done in time
so to not just
nickel and dime.
Yes the thinking
could be blue
if you think the
wrong to do.
Little thought there
now please rest,
because I think you’ve
done your best.

Cloudy With A Breeze

I find at times
the cloudy skies
are so peaceful
for my eyes.
The cloudy skies
somehow just clear
with their floating
so sincere.
I find those times
I seem to be
a little bit more
peacefully.
The clouds just drift
and take away
the inner sight of
cloudy day.
Inside my mind
the thoughts at ease
thanks to cloudy
with a breeze.

Let It Go

Today’s the day
to release your sorrow
and focus now

Let yesterday
to fade from view

hold on you.
Today’s the day
to let it go
and let the then to
help you grow.
Face tomorrow
with a smile
as you learn to
reconcile.
Let the yesterdays
that you had

When Adrift The Miffed

Have you ever
stared adrift
maybe even
a little miffed?
Have you ever
wondered why
that those minutes
fill your sky?
I reckon that you’ve
had that feeling
a little miffed
adrift your ceiling.
A reckon also
you’ve no clue
of the thinking
thereunto.
I believe it has a
little meaning
coming from
what needs some cleaning.
You might be
upset that day
about something
you’ve not forgave.
Search your heart
to understand
why the miffed up
is at hand,
then when adrift
the miffed you’ll see
as something
you need set free.

Little Breeze Blowing

Why does the little breeze
blow so askew
like the little breeze
just seems to do?
I seek for its meaning
of blowing so wild
and then it calms down
it seems for a while.
Leaving me thinking of
what all before
allowed the askew breeze
inside of the door.
I watch there while waiting
to see then agin
the askew then there blowing
to once agin begin.
It then in amazement
seems to blow through
as the little breeze blowing
just blows thereunto.

Need To Perspire

The early morning hours
leave so much in thought
of words in a shadow
that are brought in a lot.
The sun and my waiting
in this morning scene
seem to paint paintings
upon my eyes screen.
Pictures of rainbows
in cloudy cloud burst
come from the needing
of quenching of thirst.
The early morning hours
bring thought in detail
of a hopeful rainstorm
to soonly set sail.
In this crackling town
with way too much heat
that you must wear some shoes
unless burn your feet.
The grounds are a baking
due to a whole lot
of the sun beaming down here
with its oh so hot hot.
I’m needing a whole lot
of rain to transpire
to help me to cease my
need to perspire.

Pictures in The Making

I’ve prayed about things
that I know God has done,
before all my praying
had ever begun,
but yet I kept praying
in hopes of a clue
of something or some thought
of what’s right to do.
I found in a moment
that Jesus was there
just listening to me
as I said my prayer.
I prayed in a heartbeat
and He then so fine
showed me the things
that I knew all the time.
He made me to see
how I really knew
the journeys of which that
I needed go to.
I knew that I mustn’t
worry that way,
but I still worried
before I would pray.
I prayed about things
that God had set sail
it’s just that I did not
see the detail.
The pictures in the making
in frames yet to see
were the things that Lord Jesus
had there just for me.

Changing The Temperature

A simple little thermostat
tried to comprehend
how by heating and freezing
that he was my friend.
He sat there on the wall
while thinking every day
how it is that when it’s hot out
I cool down that way.
Many times I, just like you, will
make it cold to be
the same as winter when it’s cold out
at the same degree,
but yet when winter comes
the heater will show
the same of which Summer time
brings us to know.
Then there in summer agin
the thermostat each day
changes to the cold weather
we wished go away.
The simple little thermostat
confused looks at me
and says in his way hey,
what’s the right degree?
Should it be cold now
or should it be hot?
The simple little thermostat
knows not what’s not.
He still without complaining
does his best task
by changing the temperature
each time I ask.

Through Jesus His Son

God waits for me
with Arms open wide
as His Son tells me
in Him to confide.
God waits for me
each and every day
to see if I’ll take time
to kneel down and pray.
God waits for me
to do what is right
each and every day
and each and every night.

We All Complain

Foraging through meadows
of thoughts long gone by
I tip toe through moments
that now seem so dry.
The scenes of the journey
are with seasons turn
with temperatures surely
that ones can discern.
I forage with vision
in my day to day
as I search for a season
not so hot today.
I know though the seasons
will bring day and night
a scene that I foraged
and me not delight.
It’s proven through seasons
that we all complain
weather it’s freezing or hot out
or rain or no rain.

Haiku
for Aug 14, 2011

Today might scare you
with its quickening display,
but be not that bad.

Mornings arrival
comes with chances for choosing
a different route.

Today is just a time
which is filled with desires
of may or may nots.

The length of a chain
can deduce the momentum
by its many gears.

Within a shadow
we might see a formation
that’s misunderstood.

The places we visit
become minutes history
sometimes as lessons.

A lakes reflection
might seem as a looking glass
as waters of time.

When a flower blooms
it gives way to another
with seeds to be sown.

A persons heartbeat
may be hidden under pain
without emotion.

Forgetting lessons
might guarantee a repeat
of things you forgot.

With simple lifestyles
comes dreams more affordable
without a high price.

Sometimes tomorrows
are just filled full of worries
that now does not need.

Seeds that aren’t watered
will wither away in time.
Take care of seedlings.

Patterns may display
in the shadows of our mind
that are not so true.

Portions of ripples
come from oceans of scenes
of phases of time.

Sometimes a footstep
towards today’s decision
needs a little faith.

A painted moment
on a canvas of dreamland
can bring you a smile.

Faded memories
can awaken once again
in a song you hear.

Radios playing
bring the essence of heartbeats
found in the music.

Sunshine shining
gives way to a few white clouds
to enhance its view.

Sections of blue sky
form a bridge to tomorrow
with displays of time.

A flowers patterns
are begun from its seedling,
yet it may be changed.

Hurrying moments
could find you loads of torment.
Patience can bring good.

Hearing birds chirping
reminds me of a spring day
found within Texas.

Tomorrows virtue
might be misrepresented
in today’s value.

ANIMAL’S GREETINGS

Hello my friends

So another week has come and gone hasn’t it.
Yeppers the days are slowly but surely moving
ahead and before you know it, it’ll be winter.
I know, for those of you that are in the triple
digit temps and thereabouts, the summer seems
to be dragging its feet huh. God willing, it will
all be over with soon. So hold tight. Hehehehe
come wintertime, Judy and I might be wishing
for some of yalls temperatures LOL. The tables
will have turned so to say. Right now it’s rainy
looking. It’s supposed to rain all day and then
on into Friday. Who knows, 🙂 we might have
another day of semi sunshine in the middle of it.
It’s 68F degrees right now at 10:00 AM and it’s
supposed to get up to 72F degrees today. Not
bad. It’s just humid as heck hehehe. I’m sure
there are tons of you that would kill for some
rain and cooler weather. Hold tight, winter
will be here one day to cool you off. In the
meantime, try to find some place cool and
stay hydrated. OK so it’s onto another topic.
Judy and I are enjoying each others company.
We’ve been playing games together as usual
and doing exercises together trying to stop
our health from getting any worse too soon as
well as we’re both trying to lose a little/lot
of weight. It’s great having her to exercise
with me. I had been doing it most times by
myself except on days she was able which
was not that often. We walk out to the road
to check the mail together and often walk
down to the little river on down the road from
our house. We usually have our cameras
with us and take pictures of the flowers and
the clouds and anything else that catches our
eye. The first two pictures in the stationary
were taken Friday on one of our little walks.
So what else happened here at the Pearce’s
place??? Hmmm good question! It’s been
rather calming sense Judy has finally gotten
her Unemployment money. Oh yea, she got
a call from her Social Security case worker
the other day and they’re going to schedule
her a time in the next week to send her to
some doctors to confirm her health issues.
If all goes well, Judy will be accepted and
not have to keep searching for a job for her
unemployment. Due to her health, she in
my book is unemployable. Most businesses
when they find out that you’ve had a heart
attack and have PAD as well as diabetes and
many other health issues will not hire you.
We’re hoping and praying for her to get on
Social Security Disability. That sure would
be great! Yet God is in control of each and
every issue and if we let His Will be done,
then it will all work out for the better. We
all tend to every once in a while get antsy
and want what we want and want it now, but
God’s timing is the best. Our doorways will
swing with some uncertainties, but with God
there is certainty. All will be well. Not in
the sense of without sickness, but it will
work out the way it should. So let go and
let God. Ok, now that I’ve gone a rambled
incessantly, I guess it’s time for me to be
heading back through all I’ve written here
to see if I can find a good word or phrase
that will work well for the title for today’s
brand new poem. So it’s away I go to that
place of my recollection that I like to call
RECOLLECT VILLE. I think I may have
stumbled upon a good title, so let’s see what
I can do with it hehehe. Here’s Johnny 🙂
LOL in another words, here we go hehehe.

All Will Be Well

Troubles will display
in minutes of scenes
turning some good times
to moments demeans.
Yet of course minutes
will be in detail
blessings from Lord God
and all will be well.
We may see problems,
but God sees a gain
with many lessons
for us to attain.
Troubles will come
and troubles will go,
so say a prayer now
within the days flow.
Know in your heart
that God will not fail,
for He is much greater
and all will be well.

I hope you enjoyed my rambling and maybe even
the poem. I write what words that come into my
mind. I just keep typing until the poem is done.
It’s called Automatic writing or typing if you will.
Yeppers, that’s how I’m able to write all of my
poems and haiku in a matter of a couple hours.
If you look at the Copyright on all of the poems
and haiku, you might notice that the date is at
most times the same on them all. I hope that
you like a few of them. So I reckon it’s time for
me to be telling you what I tell you every week
and that is, yes I wrote 10 more poems and 22
haiku. No I did not write any early Christmas
poems this week hehehe. Maybe next week 🙂
Before I sign off, I want to thank everyone for
their prayers for my sister in law Barbara.
It’s looking good. They may have caught the
cancer before it got into the of bone. Please
keep the prayers coming. Ok with that said
I guess it’s time for me to be searching for
that old off switch that loves to elude me hehe,
but before I do that I must wish you a most
wonderful God filled week. Remember, Jesus
loves you and we do too. Now to find that
freaking off switch. Found it blowing in the
breeze while sitting in front of the window fan.
Gotcha, see ya CLICK zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

God bless from Bill and Judy Pearce

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

Today’s A Chance

Today’s a chance
to change our view
of our lives
of thereunto.
Now’s a moment
given for free
to help us change
the way we see.
Sometimes problems
that occur
are the lessons
shake and stir.
Today’s a time
ticking away
giving us chances
just like every day.
Often our viewpoints
are just misled
and many moments
need put to bed.

Breakfast Time

Time of morning
comes to be
with the minutes
that we see.
Time for starting
up the day
with some breakfast
sort of way.
Don’t let morning
slip on through
without firstly
eating true.
Also don’t let
time fly by
without praying
to Adonai.
Breakfast time
can be so great
if we start it
not too late.

Summers Window

Summers window
at a glance
seems to be
a moments stance.
Stood just waiting
for its cue
to begin
a different view.
Scenes transposing
throughout time
give a different
sort of sign.
Points in places
might just be
summers windows
that we see.
Summers ending
will be found
when dear winter
comes around.
Yet fall weather
will be seen
with leaves changing
brown from green.
Summers window
will then close
with the sight of
winters snows.

Memory Of Time

A times memory
a simple view
will become
a sight anew.
Memory of time
with simple thoughts
might move on
at oceans knots.
Waves come crashing
fast on shore
while you remember
a little more.
Memory of time
might be found
one day running
fast aground.
A simple moment
you remember,
might be just
a burning ember.
A minutes time
that came in view
that you wish were
still so true.
Let today be
filled with laughter.
Don’t let then
be all you’re after.

Full Moons Shadow

Deep in the night
the sights I see
are the shadows
then of me.
Full moons shadow
at a glimpse
gives a segues
little wince.
All through night
the shadows move
maybe to a
different groove.
Maybe dancing
to a breeze
with the shadows
of some leaves.
Full moons shadow
might be found
moving swaying
on the ground.
Watch the shadows
in moonlight
as they’re dancing
through the night.

Liquid Mind

Times when drunken
time to time
I had only
liquid mind.
Days of drinking
brought much pain
and not much of
good to gain.
I remember
oh so well
many moments
times of Hell.
Liquid mind
brought much trouble
sometimes also
made it double.
Don’t let liquid
mind of day
be what takes
your good away.

The Porthole

Within the porthole
of tomorrow
there might be
no time to borrow.
The minutes found
might disclose
where a moment
really goes.
Inside a porthole
to a moment
there might need
a bit atonement.
In this viewpoint
that you see
there might display
history.
Within the portholes
deepest view
you might find
someone like you.

Letting Go

Yesterdays sorrow
of which we know
might need a little
of just letting go.
Things we remember
that fell apart
need letting go
not taken to heart.
Sometimes we’ll fail
and maybe cry tears
but make that failure
as lessons of years.
Don’t let a problem
of a bad choice
become a daily
sad speaking voice.
Learn to look past
those times distant days
and see the lessons
found through the grays.

Sides Of Infinity

There’s different sides
to infinity
bad and good
the sides ones see.
Some with confusion
head the wrong way
and find in their paths
a dismal display.
Sides of infinity
daily in battle
cause many of us
to shake and rattle.
Wanting and wishing
for many things
such as the glamour
of diamond rings.
Sides of infinity
Heaven and Hell
often are painted
as stories tell.
Such as the devil
always telling you
what that you’re really
wanting to do.
God will not force you
to be His slave.
He gave His Son
to show what He pays.
Our sins are paid for
through Christ His Son
as sides of infinity
Heaven has won.

Yearning Romance

Burning flames
of wants desires
often start
some raging fires.
Yearning romance
in your life
as a husband
or a wife
might be wrong
this day and time
for you’re timings
not so fine.
Let God guide you
as you seek
what you’re wishing
week to week.
Don’t let hurry’s
day to day
make you find
a bad display.

Haiku
for Aug 6, 2011

Tomorrows future
needs today and yesterday
to learn what to do.

A minute in time
is counted and sometimes found
as a moments dream.

Special memories
live and breathe as tomorrows
of which we wish for.

The turning of time
brings journeys into our lives
that we may not want.

A persons hopeful
can ignite a persons flame
if they allow it.

Mornings arrival
brings chances to come alive.
Take a breath and look.

Using a heartbeat
might cause it to fall apart.
Be true to others.

Pages will be turned
as our minutes tick away
so use them wisely.

Seeing some echoes
might concur a repeat in time
that you did again.

The heat of summer
brings ones alive with swimming
as also sunburns.

Lessons will occur
from the things that we’ve been through
or maybe just seen.

Here in the right now
brings the turning points in time
that we need to choose.

Yesterdays value
isn’t always with today,
so search for the good.

Prosperous moments
come when they are least expected.
Don’t judge too quickly.

Tempting a person
might fall right back in your lap
with many problems.

Let a flower bloom
and it will bring its moment
with beauty to see.

The fan blades turning
cut the air as small ninjas
with art of a breeze.

The clouds up above
float quietly in the sky
as artwork of God.

Scenes that surround you
might be overlooked each day,
so take time to look.

Winters memories
live as voices of white snow
speaking to the ground.

People with anger
often show it to others
that don’t deserve it.

Imagination
can bring to life a moment
that is not so true.

Birds are now chirping
as summertime comes to life
with its own array.

A neighbor mowing
brings the smell of fresh mown grass
into my window.
