The Cards of Life (Four of Diamonds)

Funny, my son brought up the number four recently. Twice. And today on my walk there it was again.

You know me. I'm not one to come across something random without looking up the meaning. This is what I found at The Cards of Life: "Self-reliant, pragmatic and straight-forward, financial stability comes to Four of Diamonds people through a solid work ethic." 

But wait. There's more. 

A six . . . er, four . . . of spades. And a queen of clubs.

The meaning of these other two adds up to pretty much the same thing. I've been working my butt off and will find success if I keep it up. Let's hope so. April's poem-a-day challenge is coming up and I really want to participate.

Things We Have Learned (a Poem)

Okay, so the word "Have" is missing from the art because I haven't found (or created) it yet. Also, as you will see I did not type up the punctuation exactly the way it shows on the art.

Things We Have Learned

How one
her from the beautiful
life beyond
pulls off
the now thing.
The art of I
means:
making the issue
confidential.
From eye
to we to me.
Transform
into a thriving
world.

After editing all day, it felt really nice to slap paint onto paper and cut up words with scissors. Aaaahhhh . . . good night.

Word and Photo Potpourri (a Collage Poem)

Life is busy. It's still easier to cut and paste.

Hot & Cool

You are
on-the-go beauty
everyone loves
on the street.
You return passion to promise.
You guarantee
40 pages of decadent
secrets. You
transform
my wet
soul.

Keeping it short tonight, so I can get back to my callings.
