For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Welcome everyone to another poetic adventure. I’m not quite sure what kind of adventure. Some are good, some perhaps not so good. But they are all me. I think. I wrote them anyway.
Stress Is Mess
As I walk along the trail,
All my stress begins to pale.
Stop, and see a tiny flower,
Sun or storm it lives with power.
Watching now the river flow,
Bringing life to make things grow.
Towering pines, such majesty,
Filling the upper canopy.
Then looking down I see below,
A soft thick mat of moss does grow.
There, sitting on a branch in view,
A little bird in brilliant blue.
The songs of others fills the air,
Singing so loud without a care.
So why do I hold on to stress?
Sing aloud and forget the mess!

This is only my second nomination for this award so I am very excited about it! And it was given to me by a young woman named Ramyani over at https://trystwithmind.wordpress.com where she has a great blog. She loves to write short stories and poems.

What is the Liebster Prize?
The Liebster Prize is an award that exists only on the Internet and is awarded to bloggers by other bloggers. The first case of the award goes back to 2011. Liebster in German means sweet, kind, dear, charming, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing and welcome. It really is an excellent way to meet other bloggers and gain more visibility in the community.
There are some simple rules to follow:
Add a link to the Official Liebster Award page in your blog post
Thank the blogger who nominated you and give a link to their site
Do a post and answer the questions
Nominate 5 other bloggers and let them know
Create more questions for them
Now for the questions
1. What is destiny for you?
Moving to a nice warm place.🌴 Meow, meow. 😺 Wait a minute, this is my award. And what’s wrong with my answer anyway? A warm place is a good destination. MEOW, MEOW. 😼 Wrong? How can it be wrong? Besides, I said this was my award. If you’re really good, maybe someone will nominate you again. I said GOOD, stop looking at my feet! That’s not good! It’s getting dangerous around here. At least it was an easy question.😀
2. What is your greatest strength?
Okay, now we have a hard question. Hmm…well, I’m honest. I can be trusted. I’m fun. Do any of these count?🙃 Sigh. I like easy questions.😂
3. Who is the one person you admire deeply? Why?
Hmm, now we’re getting personal. Um, well, uh, I think I will leave this one as a secret. Why? Because answering could be dangerous to my health.😂
4. Would you rather not be able to speak or say everything that is on your mind?
There’s a difference? If I can’t speak then I can’t say anything. If I say everything on my mind, there is nothing to say. So really, there is no difference. Is this a trick question? Meow, meow.😹 Hey, that’s not nice! 😲 Imagine that, my own cat, saying there is nothing in my head.😠
5. What is the thing you would never do even if offered lots of money, like more than you can ever imagine?
One thing?? I could make a whole list of things! Here is one; I would never turn away from a friend for no reason. Friendship is too important.
Now come the new questions for my nominees!!
