I will my will - Anita Holzberg

Day hangs over
  Halloween rain
I will greet my trick or treaters
with a smile and witches hat
Its almost November
Clocks push back
5 o'clock dark
I will not shadow my life
I will stand strong
I will sing in the shower
I will my will
How about yours?

In Sweetness - Anita Holzberg

In sweetness and light
  I come
The amber jewel gleaming
The Hershey bar fun size offering
The Picchu comes loving
The books I buy for Owen excelling
Next week is Halloween
My pumpkin and glittery cat set out
In gladness I write these lines.

Sun-Day - Anita Holzberg

Sun-Day
  the 711 my corner store welcomed me
I bought a reg. size Hershey bar to be there
  a piece at a time when I need sweetness
I biked 45 minutes  while a couple purchased a house
  in Houston, Texas (HGTV)
I read the New York Times via Nook Color
  and learned a lot more about Obama
I showed Ann's "book to me" to Misaki
I received a Thank you for the great lesson from
  Misaki. She said also, I am kind."
I walked my house with a cane 8 times, my back straight
I wore my fleece new coat inside my house, as it was getting
  chilly
I fed Picchu at night and let her in.
I spoke to Emily for over 30 minutes about everything.
It was a great day!

Ah, Life is good!!!

Chocked full of rainbows
      and Hershey kisses
I eat one
     and the day begins
with sweetness

I ride the amazing sun
   on my way to swimming
After,
I taste the warmth of pumpkin soup

Oh, how life is good!!

Oh, how dreaming can make it so.

In The Quiet - Anita Holzberg

In the quiet of a new day
Picchu walks in
The fog does not bother her
She lies by the piano and cleans herself
We talk 
I tell her how beautiful she is
She returns the compliment
She stays for a long time
We commune
That is the wonderful thing about a cat
She is there for me in this early morning quiet!

Fresh strawberries & cranberry muffins - Anita Holzberg

Fresh strawberries
  and cranberry muffins
A great entrance for a tea party
I baked the muffins and gave them away
  to my neighbor who always 
       does me so many favors
Instead, I ate the strawberries
       so sweet
I could pretend it was strawberry
         licorice
    or strawberry ice cream
the mind can pull tricks
    as I wind down my Sunday
after a day with the family
     this one pretty tame.

My granddaughter hugs the phone - Anita Holzberg

My granddaughter hugs the phone and smiles
It is her first Birthday 
I sing her her Birthday song
I received a few photos of her today
Evie, a delightful child who is so loved.

Grateful for YOU - Anita Holzberg

Sending
  a bunch of mail
      a bunch of flowers
a bushel of kisses
      to all that
I am grateful
      grateful every day
every breathing moment
        that you grace
     my life.
