1-
born of magic
the breath of angels,
from stardust and poetry
to secret longing
the heart of a child
2-
people know no more
than they’re ready to believe
they’re special that way
3-
she had attitude
an impressive confidence
in her own coolness
and that’s a wrap

A trio of Magnetic Poetry poems. Night two of camping inside under layers of clothing and blankets. Tomorrow, they say, we can expect to regain the light.
Peace, Love, and Warm Glimmers to you! Stay safe and warm my friends.

planning off the grid
chickens…maybe a goat
or two…a donkey, a cow
I’m thinking that should do
the time to be prepared is now
we’ll need a garden, jars for canning
candles, and bulk bins of beans,
flour, grain, necessities, basic things
to self sustain these latter days
pro activity’s the way survivors
thrive, while making do with
what’s on hand we’ll make it through
we’ve known plenty, we’ve known want
life‘s not always been a jolly jaunt but
don’t you fret, at least you won
the vote you cast can’t be undone
your guy, dictator for a day, lusts
for the power to take away all
safety nets, all social norms
his vile band of misfits swarm
to steal the bounty for themselves
karma sucks you know, and hell
is raging here on earth, it’s sad
you never believed it could be this bad
chickens…maybe a goat
or two…a donkey, a cow
I’m thinking that should do
we’ll make it through

In times like these, crazy thoughts keep me up at night. Things like, how can we mitigate the rising cost of food…eggs in particular or so I’ve been told are a major concern… like toilet paper during the pandemic! As the prices soar they should at least be gold. No more environmental protections, no more regulations to keep our food and water safe. No medical research, no education department, no more wokeness. Diversity doesn’t exist! Wipe those policies from the books, rewrite history. Make the “others”disappear. Take all those treasures gutted from our hallowed halls to an offshore bank. Tax the masses for more. it’s a nightmare that keeps growing more real. But, on a bright note…you knew I would get there, right? As a survivor, I know what to do. Prepare as best I can for the worst and hope for the best. That’s your glimmer for today. be prepared…and hope. And be kind to others and yourself.
Our electricity has succumbed once again to the snow and ice. I write to you this evening on a fading phone battery and by candlelight. The total darkness that surrounds me only adds to the drama and gravity of this moment in time. But unlike power outages past, this time I have a small generator and a space heater to keep us. This time we were prepared. We’re going to be okay…
Peace, Love, and Glimmers of Hope and Resilience to you and yours!

fresh snow at dawn
beautiful bright blanket
of white…the world
resting in quiet peace
my soul’s deep longing
~kat
Peace, Love, and Quiet Glimmers to You! ✨❄️✨
to do or not to do
much ado to do
and a list too long to count
honey do’s are due

Feeling silly today. I’m not sure what or why. There seems to be plenty of lunacy tonight. There is snow on the way on the eve of the full snow moon. Serendipitous I say. ❄️😊❄️ And it would seem Mother Nature is making good on her agreement with Punxsutawney Phil to drag winter out another 6 weeks…whatever. I’ve got things to do or not.
Peace, Love, and Glimmers to you!

Ihaving a moment
i’m having a moment
in a special place
all my own
where the air is sweet
and I am safe
where gender and
who I love doesn’t matter
where I am healthy
and all my needs are met
a space that is drenched
in sunlight by day…
moonbeams by night
where compassion and empathy
and kindness flow like soft rain
where I can breathe
where I don’t forget to breathe
my moment is a pause away
there’s no commute
it’s transformative,
empowering, and accessible
i’m having a moment…
sorry though
you’re not invited
to my moment, but
I encourage you
to have a moment of your own
breathe in…breathe out
take as long as you like
it’s all yours; it’s all you
the world will keep spinning
with or without us
silly us…some say
having a moment
is a bad thing but
we know better
take your time my friend
take time
~kat
Peace,love, and glimmers to you…they are just a breath away my lovelies. Go have a moment!
like mercury colliding...
