Take a Poem to Lunch by Denise Rodgers

Take a Poem to Lunch by Denise Rodgers

I'd love to take a poem to lunch
or treat it to a wholesome brunch
of fresh cut fruit and apple crunch.
I'd spread it neatly on the cloth
beside a bowl of chicken broth
and watch a mug of root beer froth.

I'd feel the words collect the mood,
the taste and feel of tempting food
popped in the mouth and slowly chewed,
and get the smell of fresh baked bread
that sniffs inside and fills our head
with thoughts that no word ever said.

And as the words rest on the page
beside the cumin, salt and sage,
and every slowly starts to age,
like soup that simmers as it's stirred,
ingredients get mixed and blurred
and blends in taste with every word
until the poet gets it right,
the taste and smell
and sound and sight,
the words that make it fit.

Just write.

Happy New Year 1434

Here is a simple, warm
happy New Year wish
written in English ;)
& sent your way
Wishing that happiness
 will shine in your life every day.

I wish you ...
friends that are honest and true
people who would always stand by you.



I wish you …
beautiful true dreams to chase.
The strength to embrace
every new day
bask in the sun ray
and walk your way
and always believe
success is yours to achieve.

I wish you gifts of love
Sent from heaven above
Peaceful and true
Remember ..
my prayers are only meant for you ;)

I wish you sparks of laughter
And happy things to come after
Bunch of smiles J
That would always shine
Through the miles.


In this year of fourteen, thirty four
I wish that you would achieve
all that you couldn't before,
 That you would all the way
have around you
those whom you adore.

I wish
That you'd always remember me by
These wishes I send your way
Not to utter a sigh
Not to say goodbye
But to always pray
Whether night or day
For this humble soul
That loved you all.
