"Failures, repeated failures, are finger posts on the road to achievement. One fails forward toward success." C. S. Lewis "I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else." C. S. Lewis “I have come home at last! This is my real country! I belong here. This is the land I have been looking for all my life, though I never knew it till now... Come further up, come further in!” ― C.S. Lewis, The Last Battle https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/1059917-the-last-battle “The Road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say” J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring “All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” J.R.R. Tolkien    |
Funny faces dancing high, smiling out at me. Kitty cats and doggies lie above the mounts I see. Ocean-going vessels steam to regions far beyond. Schools of happy fishes team in a joyous, loving bond. Flowers sprout and dance in rows upon the golden dusk. Children slide upon the bows, while learning full to trust. Dinosaurs and elephants all lumber slowly by. Books of pages, thoughts they grant in readers' grassy lie. Speeding cars and motorboats make way throughout the blue. Sheepish lambs and bearded goats are baaing over you. Candy canes and cupcakes call to hungry passersby. Pizzas and big hotdogs fall the need to satisfy. Baseball bats make homers soar, and Jordan slams it home. Lazy days by canoe oar make thoughts and bodies roam. State the state you think you see. Capital idea. Country homes all shining free, hopefully to see ya. Art of hopes and sleepy dreams. Paint by hand or nod. Imagination has its themes, which viewers then applaud. Dozing off on pillows blest by He, Who made it all. Waking with the mind refreshed as pictures ever call. line count: 40 word count: 185 by Jay O’Toole on March 31st, 2021 |
Hurry up to get it down. Write, and write, again. Edit 'til the weary frown will finally let you win. Word Count: Ever-present foe, insatiable its gut. This task doth not a subject know. Each bard must crack this nut. A poem of a springtime flower. Essays teach of God. Novels must have lasting power to make all eyes applaud. The Israelites must find their straw, complete their tale of bricks, but writing ever has a law, "Get focus! Get it quick!" The deadline barks as writers jump, "2000 in a day!" The ready pen will noggin thump, demanding best display. So, hurry up or not at all. Just write and write, again. "You've got a job!" it ever calls. "You're paycheck has to win!" Some day we'll write to edify, but now, "Just get 'er done!" The deadline barks. We must comply with subject best or none. by Jay O’Toole on March 30th, 2021 |

yellow ev'rywhere coating greenhouse, apex down rain will clear the air by Jay O'Toole on March 23rd, 2021 |
The gift of friends of ages all, extends beyond today. I'm thankful for the privileged call to act within this play. Respect is due the human race to old and young from God. We bless the owners of each place, and workers we applaud. The owners bring resource to bear, and workers gifted hands. Directors lead us and they share the smoothness of good plans. Song and dance brings joy to heart. Smiles bring light to minds. Blessed friendships, that we start last throughout Life's long times. Newsies sell the headlines, rare, although some may repeat. Entertainment lifts from care, and gets us on our feet. Jack and Katherine have grown to be more than "just friends." Racetrack rules New York as known by song and dance, that blends. The victory of Life we see is Win-Win from the start. I bless you as you bless me, and Joy then fills each heart. by Jay O'Toole on March 22nd, 2021 |
Predators fly. Doggie retreats. She rests inside the house. Fortress blocks out the bad. Christ, the Lord, has risen, today. He's the Fortress of our safety. Distress is but a day. Shalom is lived fore'er. by Jay O'Toole on March 19th, 2021 |
