Every once in a while I like to try my hand at scribbling out a bit of rhyme and poetry. I sat and watched a piece of nature yesterday, flitting in front of my window. Granted, it's not even close to a professional work of art, but I still jotted down this (the first letter of each line spells the creature I was watching)---
Beautiful you are with bronze and the golds...
Unknowing, I sit by my window'n hide.
The artful dance in the sun you perform,
Through the air you flit and blissfully glide.
Ever so fair, creature of conditon.
Radiant, bold, a life's work, precision!
Flutters of wings, swoop thru the air's current.
and I-
Loathing a soul who'd deaden your beauty.
You alone forever free.
Then, for today, I had found this earlier at Penny's Blog, and wanted to try my hand at it too:
ABC'S of my Life
A- AREA CODE YOU ARE IN RIGHT NOW: 361
B- BIRTHDAY: February 9
C- CURRENT CRUSH: Remember Orange Crush...I'm still a #1 fan!! (Denver Bronco Defense)
D- FAVORITE DRINK: Simply water - and a diet Pepsi now and then
E- EATING CURRENTLY: It's way too early to eat.
F- FAVORITE FOOD: The all time not good for you, cholesterol heavy CHEESEBURGER and Fries. (But a thick medium rare Rib eye steak, baked potato with TONS of butter and a crisp, fresh cold tossed salad wouldn't turn me away either!!)
G- WHO DO YOU GO TO FOR ADVICE?: No one. I tend to figure my dilemma out on my own free will.
H- CURRENT HATRED: You're not getting ME into confession!!
I- I LIKE TO PLAY: Gin Rummy, Trivial Pursuit, Hearts, and Poker.
J- CURRENT JOB: Nada, zilch, zero, FREE!!
K- ANY KIDS: Yep! One grown daughter and a grown son. Don't know for a fact which is MORE grown tho? Sometimes, I wonder about both. hehehehe
L- I LOVE: Life
M- FAVORITE MOVIE: Oh dear, I love so many!!!! But my all time favorite is STILL one from 1969 - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid starring the all time duo of Paul Newman and Robert Redford. I could sit and quote it word for word I've seen it so many times........and never tire of it.
N- YOUR PHONE NUMBER: Ummmmm, ya. It has the usual amount of numbers - 3 for the area code, 3 for the prefix and 4 for the last group!!
O- OVER OR UNDER: Over easy and under neath!
P- FAVORITE PERFUME/COLOGNE: An oldie, which was discontinued years ago by AVON. Rose-Geranium. Now that it's not part of my life, I don't like any. ON ANY woman. They tend to wear way too much and it becomes nauseating in a closed area. ALL my men wear English Leather.
Q- A LITTLE QUIRK ABOUT YOURSELF: I like to sing off tune!!
R- LAST ROAD TRIP: Just a short trip to Houston, then over the border to LA.
S- DO YOU SMOKE: Yes, yes! I'm guilty. But, I like it. I'm not one to smoke around others these days tho. Non-smokers have rights too, AS WE SMOKERS DO (and I know it's not healthy, but hey---neither is jogging in smoggy air!!--look what auto exhaust and factory smoke is doing to the ozone layer!!!, and there are way more drivers/autos than smokers)
T- FAVORITE TV SHOW: I have two....HOUSE, M.D., and PRISON BREAK
U- COLOR OF YOUR UNDERWEAR: *singing* I'm a Pepper, she's a pepper, he's a pepper, wouldn't you like to be a pepper too!?!! In other words, I can't say.
V- LAST TIME YOU WERE IN VEGAS: About 5 years ago.
W- WISHFUL THINKING: A multi-million lotto win for me.
X- X-RAYS TAKEN THIS YEAR: For me, none, me taking any--nope, not that way either.
Y- YOUR FAVORITE YEAR OF YOUR LIFE : 1966-1969. They are/were ALL good for me.
Z- ZODIAC SIGN: hehehehe, one NO ONE could be without. WATER!!! I'm the dawn of the age!! Aquarius.

Wystful, your poem is WONDERFUL!!! Who's to say what's professional quality when it comes to poetry! It's all professional! I've read a LOT of poetry by the so called professionals that I think stinks! And a lot of good stuff too! I think poetry is GOOD if you LIKE it - and not so good if you don't! I LIKE your poem! :)
I have always TRIED to write poetry for my family of course....but yours is really good. I wish that I could write. Always something that i have wanted to do..Good list too...but an even better poem...My TT is up!!
Oh, I love Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid too. Paul Newman looks seriously foxy in that!
And I hope you get another REALLY good year soon... 1966-69 seem like so long ago. I think we should all have at least a favourite year in each decade, don't you think?
I'm sure we must be the same person (except for the smoking thing - although I do believe smokers have rights, even though both DH and DD are allergic to the smoke - I think that until smoking is illegal, smokers shouldn't be treated like criminals). I love House, cheeseburgers, steak, and my favorite cologne is an old Avon one, too. Charisma. I fell in love with it in high school and found some bottles on ebay a few years ago, so I still have some!
I love the poem. It's great!
Love the poem. You have some serious writing talent. And I see your a Prison Break fan..me too. New season, August 21 (or is that 28th?) Soon anyway.
Creative! Thanks for visiting FBO and my T13 - Bible Misquotes Edition.

Love, love, LOVE "C" on your ABC list. I knew there was some reason I liked you! I am one of the BIGGEST Bronco fans there is to be seen. I can not WAIT for the season to start.

What a great idea for a list.
ANd, I think the poem is great!
Cheeseburger, Fries and Orange Crush. Sounds like a great lunch to me!!
I do remember that Avon scent. OMG, I had forgotten all about Avon.
Great poem by the way - I got dibs on your first book of poems.
I LOVE your poem!! I am also addicted to House. I love that show and also Hugh Laurie. Thanks for stopping by my blog. :)
Very nice list, and poem. I would never be brave enough to post any of my poems! I have family that read my posts! Maybe, if it were all total strangers.
The butterfly list seems like it would be a fun game to play with kids. It'd definitely keep them busy for awhile.
Thanks for visiting my TT. Happy Thursday!
Wonderful poem. And great A-Z list!
Your poem is wonderful! You've got talent!! :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog, feel free to drop by anytime. I don't post as often as I'd like since we do not have the net at home yet but it does change everyone once and a while. lol
God Bless.
