Hosting Funny Bunny Fridays

 

Jingle Poetry invited me to host the Funny Bunny Fridays @ The Purple Treehouse this past week.  I am very honored and humbled that I would be thought of for this.

It is posted once a month on the 1st Friday.  People can share whatever examples of humor they wish; whether it be jokes, stories, poems, limericks, etc.

I would like to invite you all to stop by sometime and join in the laughs.

Also, if you have something that you would like to share with the community, we would love to have you!  Just stop by and follow the directions.

You can find us at the following link:

Peace, love and laughs,

Terri

 

Facebook Challenge From Kellie

image source: photobucket.com

I know that many of you know the lovely Kellie Elmore.  Today I saw that she put out a challenge on Facebook to find out what a number one song was in the year you were born and post the youtube link on your wall.

Well, Kellie dear, I don’t know if I did it right but here is what I said and sent you:

I fudged a little with this one because my song that I am including was actually produced in 1968 instead of 1958 but, as everyone knows, I love rainbows and this song is more suited to who I am.  Watch, listen and I hope you enjoy it

 

She’s Like A Rainbow by The Rolling Stones

My Friday Thoughts – Suggestions?

 

Alright my friends, here is what I have been thinking about concerning my blog for this year and I am needing your input/suggestions/opinions:

Since Stumbleupon has changed their format, I have lost a lot of my readership (over 80% to be exact) and I can’t figure out why.  I’m not doing anything different from what I was before.

The only conclusion that I can arrive at is that they want me to buy an upgrade because I was getting too many hits for free.

To be quite honest with you, before now I averaged approximately 1000 – 2000 hits a day from them alone.

Now I am lucky to get over 100 – 150.

If their rates were reasonable, I might have considered it but they don’t have a flat fee upgrade.  Instead they charge you per hit.  Sorry guys, it’s not that important to me to pay you like that nor could I afford it if I wanted to.  I am just about ready to stop posting there completely but will wait a while longer to see if it turns around.

I recently linked up to tumblr and have quickly seen a growing readership.

I try my best to offer a wide variety of content so that everybody can find something that appeals to them.  Is there anything you all would like to see me do more of, less of, change, etc?

How about my short stories?  I haven’t done any recently because they were not being read by that many people but if those of you who were reading them want me to, I will start doing more of them.

I would appreciate hearing anything that you have to say about it.

I also have been encouraged by several of my most supportive friends to pursue getting some of my children’s and inspirational story/poems published.  That is one goal that I have set for this year.  Anything helpful that you have to offer there would also be appreciated!

Love and blessings, Terri

Dark Angel – Friday’s Hay(na)ku

The 

Dark angel

May bring death

But 

God owns

My every breath

And 

The end

I’ll not see

Until 

The time

Of His decree!

Watching Crows

image source: photobucket.com

While I stand watching 
the crows fly away

As the unfilled dreams
gone of my yesterday

I can not help
but to feel remorse

For all the times
I’ve veered off course

The fruition of them
I could have seen

In years I’ve lived
here in the between

From the past to present
there shoulda been more

Today is a far cry
than what I had hoped for

But with that being said
it is without any guess

That my life on earth
could have been much less

What it boils down to
is a matter of perspective

And I find in times
that I’m being reflective

What I desired from life
were material things to adore

Now I know without any doubt
God blessed me with much more!

A Is For Angels; Weekly Photo Challenge – A Archive

image source: google.com/images

‘Tis an angel that comes
from my A archive

When because of them
I ‘m found here alive

Never have I been
a Guardian Angel without

Of this very fact
I have no doubt

For God Almighty does
charge them to be

A solicitous protection
in our mortality

It is their presence
my fear does relieve

And in the angels
will I forever believe

One day as a warning
on the shoulder touched me 

 The angel at near-death
I did instantly see

The battle for my soul
 have they repeatedly won

And they’ll carry me home
when my life here is done!

Purr – Friday’s Limerick

I said hey there, hello sir
pardon me but purr- purr-purr
would you a few coins to me dish
so that I can buy some fish
’cause I seem to have lost my lure!

Painted Through

image source: photobucket.ocm

You’ve colored my world
that once was gray

By painting it through
all along the way

Bringing it to life
and making it bright

While giving to me
a wealth of  delight

What I had thought
was all but dead

You’ve brushed with blue,
green, yellow and red 

Although your masterpiece
is not yet done

I know that I
have already won!
