Smell The Ice Cream

Standard

We have a new president and I am so excited, I voted for the Biden-Harris team.

However much easier I am able to think we have a wonderful president in the White House now. It does ease most of my worries but as a worry wart I will always worry.

When I see things or events that freak me out thinking those Trumpites are wanting to ruin our democracy that Biden is now rebuilding, I am going to point it out and say there is something strange in the USA and it smells like poo and I know Biden and Harris didn’t put it there. So let’s make sure we clean up this unnecessary smell in our Biden democratic America. I doubt there will be many or any reason for me to freak out but if I smell poo it will scare me. I much prefer Biden’s ice cream shop of democracy goodness instead.

Who Am I

Standard

Who Am I

Am I a dictator, I don’t see anyone wanting to follow or believe me.
Am I short, yes, but my temper has dropped.
Am I remorseful, we are not perfect.
Am I a savior, most believe there is only one of those.
Am I insane, only in the eyes of the beholder.
Am I stupid, I believe everyone has good intentions.
Am I a communicator, that is up for debate.

What Took So Long

Standard

As a woman I found it astounding to find that women were never valued as leaders, especially when one of the most successful leaders of Britain was a woman. What is even more astounding is that we left Britain for repression of liberty and freedom and in not being represented for what we the people are. So we separated from a country for representation and freedom but wouldn’t accept the equality or being led by women.

In addition, our southern state’s seceded because we thought slavery was inhumane. Lincoln a Republican said emancipate those who aren’t free they are as equal to us.

This Wednesday Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will become our President and Vice-President. It has taken a little less than 500 years since Queen Elizabeth I reign of England to have a female who ancestry is multi racial lead the United States of America.

What took so long?

500 years since a woman proved herself to be one of the best leaders in the world and we waited 500 years to elect a woman.

What took so long?

2000 years since the Old Testament said slavery was forbidden and inhumane and we elected a President who has the most diverse staff of any Presidency.

What took so long?

We need to accept we are equals regardless of our beliefs or backgrounds. The only belief we will keep is treat others like we would like to be treated. It may seem trite, it may seem oversaid but goodness gracious don’t disrespect others if you don’t want to be disrespected.

With a new administration we have a chance to change the unacceptable bad ways.

Don’t wait for equality live it.

I Am Not For Me But For Us

Standard

To be against one another

Does no good

Always wanting something

The other doesn’t think

Is best

It’s ridiculous to have anger

Maintained without a solution

There must be something

We meet in the middle on

Instead of being taffy pulled

In all directions

Imagine we were

Knights of the round table

Everyone and everybody

Had equal say

Take that moment

See a new perspective

I look for one too

In order to

To find a solution

To this wall of

My way, no my way,

No my way, no my way

No my way, no my way

It has to stop

It is not about who is the bigger

Or better person

It is about

Not having to worry

About knowing

What we accomplish

Gives the room

A calming vibe

-Jennie Nawrocki

Closer

Standard

As you know Penaugural has been filed as an official non profit with the state of New York in September well now we also have a twitter account. That is right you can read out emils at Twitter.com/penaugural.

It is so exciting and this week also you should see some changes to the website to have it be more of a company rather than just poetry.

At Penaugural people can do what I have always done share their poetry. Though in addition they can also perform, draw and sculpt anything they would like for Penaugural is a place for artists to succeed.

So tell who you know and we will do the same maybe even sells few items too.

Holiday Spirit

Standard

They say there is something special about the holidays. A giddy cheerfulness that isn’t seen all year, that holiday spirit.

Why does it stop?

We have a day off work?

We stop our diets?

We see more family?

We get presents?

We relax?

We party?

We have more time for hobbies?

We see holiday movies?

What is it?

Find out and keep that holiday spirit with you year round.

Happy Holidays!

Stay Strong

Standard

Home for the holidays

Would be good

Memories unbound

Previous recounted

And more made

But wait

There’s a pandemic

Stay safe

Big dinners postponed

For gatherings will occur

When vaccinated

Won’t that be so nice

To get together again

We are almost there

Stay strong

Missing you also

Stress free family fun

Those are the days

To live for
