Poem One:

"Ramblings and Sweet Treats" - Josh Lynott

Poem by Josh:

Life is full of sweet treats.

Sweets for the eyes, soul, mouth, and heart.

Every part of us craves something sweet.

To feel like a kid on a country swing.

Devouring organic butter from country markets.

Running in the rain, drying dirty feet.

All of these are things so sweet.

What a joy to know we have so much more, more to meet, more that's sweet.

One day, life will be slower.

The process has already begun.

If there was a way to reverse this fast life, we have nearly found the answer.

The world doesn't need our replies.

The world needs home cooked meals.

The world needs barefoot walks.

Perhaps, the adventure of disconnect

ia the exact path to connect.

As the days go by, we shall not seek answers,

that is time not well spent.

Living with love will reveal

all the answers we didn't need to search for.

Yet right now, it is here

a life full of sweet treats.

Isn't that the greatest joy of all. - JL

Poem Two: Louis Stenmark

Buyers & Renters

There’s buyers and there’s renters

There’s borrowers and there’s lenders

There’s housers and there’s tenters

They are come ins and they’re don’t enters

There’s students and their mentors

There’s diminishers and extenders

There’s listeners and objectors

They’re attackers and they’re protectors

This and that

That and this

That is mine

You can’t have his

You and me

US and them

Wouldn’t it better

If we forgot

now and then
