I found myself walking,
wondering what I would see.
I wasn't really talking,
but listening to a pretty melody.

I found a little ladybug,
red and black with spots.
Then looked over and found a slug;
His shell all in a knot.

"These bugs" I said,
"do they have thoughts?
they are so small with their legs and head.
Their brains must be the size of dots."

"How do they decide what leaf to eat,
what drop of water to drink,
where to go in too much heat,
or how to float and not sink?"

"They must have brains,
how are they alive?
Does blood run through their veins?
Can they even count to the number five?"

I then looked up and heard a bird chirp,
the buzzing of a bee,
a frog burp,
and saw a dragonfly that looked right back at me.

Of course these bugs can think!
Or they couldn't do these amazing things.
The bird then gave me a wink,
as it flew away using it's wings.

Take 2

Yes, this is my second blog.. the word "second" isn't the kind where my first blog was so incredibly good; so many people followed it; I was getting extremely famous over just my blog so I decided to make another.. No, "second" meaning I failed miserably and learned a lot with my first blog.  Deleted it.  And started over.

My question is,..

What makes a good writer?
What makes people WANT to read what you wrote?
Nobody cares what I did yesterday at 11:20am...

We all use the same language here. English.  So how can you use the same, overused language and make it into something nobody has heard before?  How can you put words into thoughts? Thoughts are so unwritten and this is why they are precisely just that.
Words are just words.  But if you shape, sculpt, and mold them in a certain way, they can paint a whole new world that you have never visited before.  Speaking our language is one thing but THINKING it is a whole different realm of life!

So again, How can you make this generic, overused and slightly slaughtered language of ours into something new, interesting and whimsical?  That, my friends is what this blog is for. If not for your enjoyment, for mine. (but hopefully for yours too, of course)

Yes, the rumors are true.. I only had my last blog for probably 5 months or so.
I didn't write on it as much as I could have.
I didn't explore all that I could with it.
I didn't express my feelings on it.
It didn't portray my personality.
I didn't make it my passion.
It just wasn't me.

But oh how good it felt to start over and make something all over again!
To make something that was me.
That will portray my personality.
To have something I can write my thoughts on
like a brand new, pure white canvas just waiting for some color.

Rain falls, drips and drizzles, 

It's wet, soft and gentle.

Makes the sidewalk shine, 

and the trees alive. 

It can make my day better, 

or just the opposite. 

 Walking under the blanket of cloud

 reminds me how big the world really is. 

 Colors fade as everything turns gray, 

silences protrude as mist takes over. 

 As you and I think a little deeper,

 emotions peek through just a little more. 

 And just when you've had enough, 

the sun says good morning.
