Aloha,

                   This is a photo of a cool area in Waikiki. This can be a safe harbor to relax for a moment, read, or write in your journal. In a story this is a setting. Writers describe a character by actions in a setting. Let's reflect on this idea as we write today.

                                     Enjoy!

                   Soften the Song

Lets all do something let's all see

Surely things will come around eventually

Some will say don't try, it's no use

Society's shock and awe is drug abuse

Try to give a little, chill just a trifle

Put down the argumentative rifle

Can't we just sing and be strong

And try a little harder to soften the song

How do you measure a treasure

The pleasure found in your company

And still the cost of pain rises

With its disguises and little surprises

Can't we find our way can it be so wrong 

To try a little harder to soften the song

Turn the page on the rage and confusion

Before the advent of a final conclusion

It seems so simple, imagine the world as one

To each other belong, vie to be fond and 

Try a little harder to soften the song

                      Comes a Song

Look to the sky with a little concentration

Notice a new distant constellation

Alleviate that habitual consternation

Abbreviate your lack of consideration

Relax create get out what's stuffed inside you

Get to it man stop holding your pride's view

You're no teddy you're human and ready 

Don't turn a blind eye your song holds you steady

Out of your head that's what you say

Out of your bed wit's end's well on it's way

See it now it won't be long

When out of you comes a song

You say you're along just for the ride

Watch a little T.V. let a few plans slide

That's your way of saying bye bye to yourself

Get up and get that song off the shelf

Design Cool

Aloha,

                   Although this photo says "New York," it is actually shot a short distance from Waikiki Beach. This simple idea reveals meaning and creates emotion. 

                   Writers express the natural order of life experienced by their characters. In fiction, this is an imposed scheme and is known as plot. Let's write thinking about this idea today.               Enjoy!

                   Shark Diver

Ask me now why they do it and how

The answer comes quick a simple slip

Into the deep with a promise to keep

Ocean chills simple thrills force of will 

As deep you go the ocean knows your guise

Kills the fun kill it before it multiplies

Soon staring eyes make them realize

It is they who are sized for the next surprise 

It's true some imbue the folly ends somehow

But not here not now this vacation must endo

A taste for the stew goes the chum for slaughter

Hope from deep blue comes up to muddy water

Long since smitten and never bitten

It's only a lark some friendly shark

Back on the coast friends raise a toast to a 50 mile boast

The talk of the town never hears the sound silently drown

Into the deep leaves nary a peep

As the ocean holds her promise to keep

Trade wind blows whisper vocation chose 

Shark diver forever sleep

              Condition of Anonymity

I'll go out and land the biggest prize

Stake my ground to sweepstakes in your eyes

Unhappy players won't have a prayer

My biggest move is about to happen here

We'll make the grade we'll have a parade

They say it won't last but we'll make the biggest splash

And with arms like these a reported guarantee

Of course I'm speaking only on condition of anonymity

You might think that this deal is a lot 

But I already know the player is hot

I'll defend my decision even on bended knee

Speaking only on condition of anonymity

I've been tied for the lead in number of gaffs 

But my availability is not a matter of laughs

People will say that remains to be seen 

They say we'll finish last we're so green 

When I'm with you I'm no loser it's true

You seal the deal you know what to do

An unbeaten run next to none is ours you'll see

Of course I'm only speaking on condition of anonymity

   

Beach Blue

Aloha,

     Here is a morning photo on a beach near Waikiki known as Magic Island. Sunlight reflecting environmental blue is oxygen. Sunlight reflecting environmental green is living chlorophyll. Blue and green together signifies LIFE. 

     Writers can add their own "life" to a story by reporting details that matter. Let's write with that in mind today!                          Enjoy!

 Metallic Grin

It had to come to this

Sooner later finding bliss

World's latest craze starts here

Fashion statement dental gear

Authority clamps fateful trends

Vanity makes no amends

Beautiful face machine tool chin

Smile perfect metallic grin

Color coded coordinate mood

Rubber banded never glued 

Fashion finessed Ortho brace

Matching tan you're in the race

Risky business yet still they cheer

Bring it home pseudo dental gear

Optimal smile for that little miss

Metallic grin sealed with a kiss

   My Favorite Hangover 

Some go to parties wherever winds blow

Drink and dance to make the show

Those die hards never quit when they're through

My favorite hangover is always you

All night celebration needs no berth

Enthusiastical party animal hearth

Partaking freely their beloved brew

But my favorite hangover is always you

I found my saloon through the laughter

And all those revelers hanging from the rafter

You're my trail boss I'll be your rover

You'll always be my favorite hangover

I'm the master of my destiny

Destiny's child has never bested me

I never get high I never do

My favorite hangover is always you

Natural Pink

Aloha,

                  This flower caught my eye because of it's color and symmetry. It was a little windy that morning, but this little guy looked happy, healthy and focused, with Waikiki Beach just in the background. Writers also need focus and symmetry in their storytelling. A good screenplay is described as a "tight little story." Let's aim at that idea today.                Enjoy!

          Monday Star

Working under pressure

A nice way to dance

Driving a money car

From a place of innocence

Defenseless exposure 

The lock of daily game

Whether deadly or not

Works out the pain

Never to hold back 

And so needed where you are

Helplessness is no kicker

To be a Monday Star

               Rainbows Forever 

There are rainbows with shades of blue

Where the rain goes they chase too

Destination danger allure lone ranger 

Rainbows forever find you 

Not the same with you not here

Pronto charms your flame so dear 

In your precious time as you turn to shine

Rainbows caress your fears

Rainbows above and beyond carry blues

Follow the rain glow as they choose

Fly float high fathom the sky

Rainbows forever find you

Known you too well to let you go now

Alive with your smile as young lives allow

Bring your blues, reds and yellows too

Rainbows forever find you
