The World is too Fast: Joyce Lancaster

04/26/202404/25/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Spinning, this way,And that way,Coming here, and there,Answering text, email, voicemail.I can’t imagine the older days, when there was no running water.I’m hoping I don’t become too much of a frantic haze for us.Got to remain calm, until the end of the day.

Let’s Talk About Love: Renata Bikar

04/26/202404/25/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

I once read Belcourt’s quote that said,“To love someone, is to firstly confess,I’m prepared to be devastated by you”. I once read a quote of yet another man,It seems that in lifePeople who love youDon’t know how to show it.And, people who hate you,Don’t know how to hide it. I once wrote a poem, about … Continue reading Let’s Talk About Love: Renata Bikar

Human: Brittney Fox

03/23/202403/21/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

When we were granted the gravity to this Earth;and the nurturing of Mother Nature’s expression.We were handed a place, in the grand kaleidoscopefor our chance at an evolutionary, galactic experience.We were granted our shot to stand on this stage, at this time.With the blessing from the magic of mercury,we get to take a stand, on … Continue reading Human: Brittney Fox

Puppets: Robert St. Germain

03/22/202403/21/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

We all have someone to answer to.And someone to tell us what to do.Some of us realize, well many never knew.The church and the government are part of the system that keeps us down.When I see people enslaved it makes my frown.We are all put in packages to make us comply.And most of us will … Continue reading Puppets: Robert St. Germain

Casualties of War: Robert St. Germain

03/22/202403/21/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

This is a war, and they are fighting for control of our minds.It’s a war of ideals and it is never kind.The masters tell us what to feel and what to think.It’s our souls that get poured down the sink.The police of thoughts are on patrol.They say they are here to help, but they just … Continue reading Casualties of War: Robert St. Germain

Softly: Richard Edwards

03/22/202403/21/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Softly it rises into the sky,We wonder why?Gently the words fall from our lips To thy ear,It is a yearning of the heart,That the words say. It calls to thee,It makes thee awareOf your care Love is what you do,By the way you move,You put us into the groove, You are true,You love thee,For you … Continue reading Softly: Richard Edwards

Bilingualism: Marjolaine Brodeur

03/22/202403/21/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Fortunate am I to be bilingual for this has permitted me to watch a French-dubbed "Downtown Abbey" story which lately I have become addicted to. Though I would have preferred watching it in its original language I was pleased to touch base with a program that has touched my mind. Happy was I in the … Continue reading Bilingualism: Marjolaine Brodeur

Colours: Marjolaine Brodeur

03/22/202403/21/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Spring has come slowly to us,Bringing with it its palette of colors.They are vibrant and are meant to be so;To feed our souls with their array. An end to winter and its malaise,Spring with its colors nourish us.Bringing us in better balance with life,So necessary for so many of us who hope. Hope for better … Continue reading Colours: Marjolaine Brodeur

Special Dreams: Joyce Lancaster

03/22/202403/21/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

When you go to sleep.So quiet the stars are resting,The sun is in full view.Winter is in full rest.The birds are in their nests.Children sleep.When you sleepYou can’t hear a peep.

Gimme my Hot Cup of Tea: John Oross

03/22/202403/21/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

All my lifeI’ve been homeless and alone, without a love of my own.What I have given away, trying to get her to look my way.There she is.She came from afar, left my heart and soul ajar.Then she walked away, touring about our world. I’ve kept her in my heart.Yes, right from the start. Gimme, gimme, … Continue reading Gimme my Hot Cup of Tea: John Oross
