For The Record Pt. 2

There are just some things about people that really turn me off.
I’ve been quiet for quite some time now and it’s about time that I expressed my thoughts on this.
Please allow me to introduce to you four people who really are in need of a wake up call.
Mr. & Mrs. Me are often people who live their [...]

Letters
In taking the time to place pen to paper writing my tangelo blend of
truth,
My shouts of I love you are tossed together with
PAST DUE and
“renew your subscription here”
All of us stuffed in canvas mailbags,
temporarily housed in the belly of Postal planes.
As the price of cutesy stamps lift like yeast
I hope this note brings you
Good tidings, [...]

For The Record

I love you…
Those three words, when spoken, will be recieved and registered by the recipients in different ways.
Some people take these words and can reciprocate the exact same sentiment, while others are threatened by them.
The way a person chooses to recieve the words, “I Love You”, is beyond my control.
I know that people’s actions can [...]

Weather Confusion

What is up with Mother Nature and why can’t she grasp the concept of warm weather being welcomed by all?
The picture above is a true reflection of confusion, as the minds of the people in NYC don’t know what to put on before leaving the house. Some are mixing it up just in time for [...]

Youthful

I am here thinking about the kids that attended my program, and the kids that I had the pleasure of working with over the past week. When I think of children and all of the qualities they possess at such young ages, it brings a smile to my face. All children, in my opinion, are [...]

An April Fool, No Joke

Today is supposed to be Wordless Wednesday, but I have no pictures to post and it has been sometime since my last blog entry — so I’m saying my piece. Thank you to all that have inquired about the whereabouts of the folks that makes up the collective of Urban Observation. We’ve all been on [...]

Midnight Marauder

Inspiration takes hold of The Orange Phoenix and develops into a poem to be shared.

The Road to Obama, Part 2

The road to Obama was paved with a spiritual awakening – the realization that we as humans aren’t alone in this world. I’m not trying to get all preachy, but on this leg of my vacation, spirits moved and protected us from harm and the dangers that two women could face alone on the highway side.
