Misunderstanding and Conflict

By, C. Heidi Drew

November 20, 2012

Words on a page can flatter or enrage

Words from a mouth, misunderstood, disengage

Long term affects one never knows

As relationships sink, shrink and on the brink

One grows

Conflict, sleep on it, maybe renewal

Will refuel the difference or bring understanding

Reprimanding is demanding not expanding

Faulting is grandstanding

The conflict exposed

Conflict, who are you comes to mind

Reaction, retraction, satisfaction or inaction

Love be my guide, humor aside

Interaction takes us on a ride

Abide

Thanks and Now Giving

By, C. Heidi Drew

Nov. 22, 2012

Improv or improve

It's all about getting in the groove

Thanksgiving or Thanks, now, for giving

And the mystery of living

Meting or comparing

How are you faring?

Are you accepting offers

Or counting the coffers?

Are you high status in your meeting?

Is it lonely up there?

Well come down now and let's share

Can we all get there?

Don't fall when you tilt

Or even cry over the milk spilled

It could make us all wilt

Just like guilt

Black Friday is for counting the coffers

But think of them as offers

Obama is president and what an example

Hope is just a sample of what's to come
