Water Is Luxury


Did you ever notice?

After an exhausting day
And you drink some water

That the water is…

Pure
Cold
Refreshing
Vitalizing

And when you take a bath it’s

Warm
Bubbly
Scented
Flowing
Cleansing
Soothing
Relaxing
Moisturizing
Exhilarating
Invigorating

And when you clean dishes/laundry it

Suds
Soaks
Washes

I see this as luxury!

I'm a Little Upset


Dear Readers:

I was suppose to place a verse titled "Water is Luxury" and the file was not  found.  So I lost it! As an inspired writer that I am; my mind will never get it back.  And it was such a good one.

The flow of my words come quickly when I have these thoughts to write.

I'm a little bit upset, because water is important for us to live.

{PS I just found it located in a file after doing a search of my PC. It was written in a different year, two years ago. I'll post it soon.}

You know in life, it's a process of learning new things all the time...and when I need to act on something...like finding this file...I have to learn to troubleshoot/problem solve or it eventually comes to my mind what I need to do next.

Spring’s Design


Splish-splash was the
Sound of my walk,
As the pouring rain
Was coming down.

Spring, that time of year
Cleans up the ground,
Making it fresh for the
Season’s planting again.

Here comes the shining
Sun and blowing winds,
Creating warmth and also
Drying the fertile soil.

New growth begins again
From the farmers’ labor,
And the seeds will sprout
Fruit and vegetable crops.

Just a Matter of Time


Publisher in quotes     Carol Kappes unquote


“Carol…If you could please send your “about the book blurb” for the back of the book. It can be a poem or you can tell about your book in 3 to 5 sentences. The blurb is what will go on Amazon and the back of your book indicating to the reader what your book is about.”

“Have a great day and thank you.”

Hi; Yes, I found this to be a tough one of all parts of the book. Please let me know if it sounds OK?

(I had written 2 samples for my publisher)

You know books a lot better than I do…I am just learning the ropes of it all.

“Love this one…but it is up to you”

(And my publisher copied the one sample for me to read)

Thanks; I am glad that I made 2 ideas; and you may have read many of my verse. You are more into the book business side…I trust your judgement towards a best seller…because we want people living better lives. Yes, after rereading them this morning…and hearing your call…go ahead and use this one. It does sound better…as the reason of the book…and why it was written.

(Keep in mind that I did not see the book cover design yet; until the “book blurb” had been written by me and printed on the back cover…after it was all completed by the publisher.)

“Carol…Here is your final cover in its template with your back cover blurb and retail price. Let me know if you approve.”

(After seeing this book cover design….)

Wow!  This is really eye catching…that people would want to pick this up and read it.

What do you think? Its very richness in the way you designed this…like no other book…which tells me the uniqueness of this piece of work. Looks enriching.

I can see why you liked my 2nd blurb version…to the design of this book cover. It really seemed outstanding…it’s so fitting.

“It’s perfect!”

It was unbelievable. Thanks.

(It is only a matter of time; that you will be reading this book, published in 2016)

Ecuador Earthquake


This is devastation at its worse;
With buildings collapsed, many have
Been injured and still not found.

So sorry for the loss of loved ones,
Buried within the rubbish of what
Was once so strong and built of steel.

It gets too close to home… suddenly
Without much notice, and wrecks pain
And misery to those who are victims.

We just never know what will happen
In our daily life, always live each day with
Peace and love to those around us.

Smile


It makes you approachable
It creates enjoyment
It has an effect on others
It indicates happiness
It often shows friendliness
It is a universal language
It satisfies your mood
It enhances your voice
It produces less stress
It can empower you
It lessens frown lines
It shows a caring attitude
It tells of a character trait
It helps to pass it on

Behind Moments


I just love it when you’re
Standing behind me.

It sends emotional thrills 
Up and down my spine.

When you press your lips
To the side of my neck…

The exhilarating feelings of
Sensation are overwhelming.

Your hands caress my hips
In gentleness and love.

Your touch is so inviting;
I feel your desire is strong.

This relaxing moment is ours,
You and me in an embrace.

It Sends Me Chills


Hearing about the terrorism
Attacks in Belgium and then
Watching the news and hearing
Their stories; sends chills in me.

Seeing the pictures of all the
Devastation from the bombs
Shows firsthand the evil in the
World and grief to the families.

Hearing about the deaths and
The ones in the hospitals taking
Recovery day by day, prayers
Are being sent on their behalf.

Seeing the price we pay for
Thinking we can be safe in this
World does not hold true when
Terrorists want to ruin life.

The Mind into Porn


Watching porn ruins a man’s performance:

Treating women for their joy
Kissing is almost non existent
Less teasing for excitement
Ways of seduction is missing
Distorted view of normality
Romance is only subtle
Early problems in impotence
Mind altered in state of pleasure
It becomes an addiction pattern
Lack of vitality and strength
Mental state towards fantasy
Spontaneous moments lessened

Best to educate in articles/books

Why Do You Drink So Much?


To an intelligent woman’s mind:

You don’t have self-control
You “gulp” your drinks down
You make yourself a “fool”
You think it’s all in the fun
You make an “ass” of yourself
You lack male growth/maturity
You set yourself up like a “clown”
You don’t care so much about it
You deny that you have a problem
You display social awkwardness
You lack responsible behavior
You drive illegal when intoxicated
