| A Cool Breeze As a cool breeze blows, I sit listening to and watching the street below. I notice cars of many shapes and sizes and I wonder, do they know where they're going? As a cool breeze blows, I sit listening to and watching the ducks on the pond. I notice how graceful they are and I wonder, do they really know when they're flying? As a cool breeze blows, I sit listening to and watching the stream flow. I notice how peacful it is and I wonder, how does it know which way it must go? As a cool breeze blows, I sit listening to and watching my thoughts. I notice how easily they form and I wonder, do I really know where I am going? |

| The World I just notices the world today. How colorful and lively it is, with its greens and blues, it's purples and reds. How fast and loud it can be, and then how slow and serene all in the same place. I'm watching the road below me, I see all these people going back and forth, starting and stopping and I ask myself, "Self, do you think these people ever get a chance to stop? And if they do, do they notice the world? Do they see all the colors, shapes, and things, or are they still to busy?" I've heard the saying 'I'll slow down when I'm dead' Do you think thats when they finally notice the world? I do because I just noticed the world today |

| Hi Celeste of the stars Your Husband is right they are very good. Keep them coming. |

| The answer to the question in thy words, I fear a sad one for so many. I must admit that on some physical levels, I do not know where I am going now. Where do I want to be in life, even a few months down the road? I had this answer before. Yet now I do not. I fear that this answer is similar for too many people in this world and for topics other that where do they want to go, or where are they going *in life* From one keeper of the word to another, Thy words carry a mark of pure thought. Good work. Blessed Be |

| First of all I want to thank everyone for all the positive feedback. normally I'm very shy about sharing my poetry with people out side my "comfort group", but you guys make it easy. Heres a new one. Its kinda cheesy, but Allan (my husband) said it was cute. Simple As the rain taps lightly on the roof, I am reminded of a simpler time in my life. A time before bills, jobs, kids, housework and husbands. A time when all I had to worry about was going to wear to school, did I pass my algebra test, does so and so like me, you know the "simple" things. As I think about all these things I look at my husband as he plays on the computer and smile. He stops what he's doing, looks at me and asks "what are you grinning about?" "Oh nothing much I was just thinking how simple my life is" |

| Love the poems, Celeste...especially "Simple". As I stated at the chat room; I have no poetic talent so I appreciate those who do. To be able to put into words your thoughts, feelings, and observations...that is a special blessing. God Bless, Chrislynn7 |

| Merry Meet, Celeste... your poetry is delightfully refreshing to read. Your husband is a wise man in praising you as his wife and in knowing good poetry when he sees it :) |

| Celeste, I agree with Aaediwen, your poems show pure thought. I am no poet, so I have no constructive suggestions. Just want to say A Cool Breeze spoke to me. I tap into that wonder as well. And I like the way you wrote it in an easy conversational tone. It flows, it isn't work to read. Elspeth |

| Celeste, The Gods have Blessed you with wonderful Talent, Keep up the great work. Tell Allen he is a Blessed Man and has wisdom beyond his years. In perfect Love and Perfect Trust, Blessed Be, Angel |

| Smiles visit my face Happiness in my tired thoughts The words found here Those in meter, and those not They bring joy to me, and light to my heart Best wishes to all of ye Blessed wishes, and blessed be. |

| Posted by: Celeste of the Stars1 20-Nov-2003, 10:42 PM |
| I just found this yesterday while I was cleaning out my poetry stuff. Its a short story I wrote earlier this year. Hope you like it. The Birth of a Goddess On a warm fall day in Mid-September, a beautiful young apartment manager is finishing up some last minute paper work before she heads home to start dinner. As she starts to open the office door to leave she catches her reflection in the mirror thats hanging on the back of it. She stops to look at hersef for a moment. She smoothes out her waist length dark brown hair, and checks her eye shadow on her large Saphire-blue eyes. Her eyes roam further down untill the reach her large round belly. At that moment her stomach moves. She raises her blouse and pokes her tummy gently to play with her unborn child. The child kicks her finger away as hard as it can. She laughs, lowers her blouse and opens the office door. As she stars to walk down the stairs a shooting pain stops her in her tracks. She thinks to herself, " Oh God! its time!!" Slowly she makes her way down the last flight of stairs and out the door into the court yard. She starts the short walk to her appartment when another pain hits. Stopping to hold on to a nearby tree for support she tells herself, "I've got to call my husband." As she tries to rememer how she's supposed to breath she lets go of the tree and starts walking again. She manages to make it through the courtyard and into her apartment before the next pain hits. "They're coming way to fast" She thinks as she grabs the counter and tries not to scream. Finally she has a chance to reach the phone and dials her husbands work number. As soon as she hears his voice she screams "It's time! Go to hospital!" and hangs up. She them calls her neighbor and tells her the same thing. As she makes her way to the front door another pain hits. "Oh GOD!" she screams. She tries to walk,but only makes it a few steps before she has to stop and try the whole breathing thing again. She finally makes it to the front door. As she reaches for the handle her friend shoves open the door almost knocking her off balance. They get to the car and start towards the hospital. The woman looks at her friend and says with a smile, "Home James!" Early the next morning the woman is laying in the hospital holding her beautiful baby girl. Her husband walks in and hands her a cup of ice. He takes the baby the baby from her and gazes down at his daughter. "So what are we gonna call this little monster?" Her husband asks. "She's not a monster, shes an angel!" The woman says with a smile. "Isis." the woman says. "Isis?" "Yes, Isis. Thats her name. Isis our little goddess." the woman says as she reaches to hold her daughter's hand. "Isis huh? Well little one what do you think about that name?" the husband asks as he looks at his baby. The baby opens her big saphire blue eyes and giggles. The End I know this is stupid, but this whole writers block is really killing me and I feel bad that I haven't posted anthing in a while! |

| I was sitting here trying like heck to get past this writers block. I started jotting down everything that came to mind and this is what ended up on the paper. Enjoy Writers Block What is wrong with my head? Where are all those wonderful thoughts that used to flow so easily? I no longer see the colors, shapes or cars. I only see a gapping void. As I sit staring into the darkness that is writers block I search for lines that I can not find. For rhymes that I can not rhyme. For mimes that can not...OH FOR HEAVENS SAKE!!! Why can I not concentrate? Why does my mind keep jumping from one track to anodder, like a train without a rudder???? No wait trains don't have rudders boats do. OH HELL I'M DONE!! |

| Witty! I like it!!!!! |

| I like your Writer's Block Good idea, when something drives you mad, don't try and figure it out, just describe it. Don't worry, it will pass. It always does. |
| Posted by: Richard Bercot 21-Nov-2003, 03:34 PM |
Celeste,  Funny, I have had days like that myself. It is always best to find the humor in bad days then to just sit and stew about them. |
| Posted by: Aaediwen 21-Nov-2003, 05:58 PM |
| Celeste, That's my approach =) When you want to write something, but don't know what to write, just write every word or fraction thereof which comes to your head. It'll probably sound and read like crap, but something excellent may come of it. And even if it doesn't, then I generally find that better streams often come easier afterwards. keep...pen...moving must...keep...pen....moving  |
| Posted by: Angel Whitefang (Rider) 26-Nov-2003, 12:41 AM |
| Try turning on your favorite music, let it wash over you til the words just flow like water. I find that helps when I am writing my current Sci-Fi Novel. HUUUGLE TIGHTLY! Love, |
| Posted by: Celeste of the Stars1 26-Nov-2003, 05:54 AM |
| just a little note to thank you all for your wonderful words! I appreciate all the positive feedback, it makes posting all my private thoughts so easy! Thank you guys!! |

I've been dealing with some issues with my mother for a few years. unfortunately I can't tell her everything I would like to. I know why, but it still annoys me. So I did the next best thing and wrote poem about it. Well at least the writers blocks gone.  Yes Mother, It's Me Yes mother, it's me. You know, the one you hate to look at sometimes because I remind YOU of "HIM" I'm sorry I can't look more like my sisters. Yes mother, it's me. You know, the one you think does EVERYTHING you tell her not to, just to drive you crazy. You give me too much credit mother. I'm not that creative. Yes mother, it's me. You know, the one that got married without you. Hurts doesn't it? Yes mother, it's me. You know, the one that can't ever seem to do anything right no matter how hard she tries. One day I just might stop trying. Yes mother, it's me. You know the "trailer trash" of the family. Obviously SOMEONE forgot where she came from. Forgot that it was "HIM" that bought the first TWO houses you and your current husband lived in. Yes mother, it's me. You know, the one that for some reason can't tell you exactly whats on her mind because she doesn't want to hurt you. Thats never been a problem for you though, has it? Yes mother, it's STILL me. The one that will love you no matter what. |

| Posted by: Celeste of the Stars1 05-Dec-2003, 10:53 AM |
| These next two go together. They're about my "babies". They're silly but I like them and hope you do to. Enjoy Percy Seated gracefully apon my perch I scan my domain. I view my subjects with indifference as they shower me with love and affection. Growing tired of being touched I saunter off to dine from my endless supply of food. Once full I find my Queen lying in our favorite spot. I lie down next to her and bask in the warm sunlight. It's good to be the King. Bob I watch as my Kings as our subjects paw at him. I can not stand all that attention. I'd much rather play. Suddenly something catches my eye. I must see what it is and if I can paly with it. What am I saying of course I can! Growing bored I find our favorite spot and wait for my King to join me. Ahh the sun feels wonderful. It's goo to be the Queen. |

 Very nice. Our cat is quite different. She cries at me to pick her up. But she's still a kitten. |

| Posted by: Celeste_of_the_stars 23-Nov-2007, 07:48 PM |
| You are the last thing I see when I fall asleep. You are the first thing I see when I wake. You can make me smile when I'm crying. You can make me cry with just a touch. You can finish my thoughts. You have no idea what I'm talking about. You are my world. You are my life. You are my husband. You are my lover. You are my bestfriend. You are the love of my life. |
