Seeds Contain Potential
Universe Poems Oct 2022
Squishy Inside
Yellowish or orange kind
Stem hard and woody
Filled with seeds,
that are goody
Wide or narrow smile
Shape the eyes
Make a nose,
now your light glows

Scientists believe that pumpkins originated in North America about 9000 years ago. The oldest pumpkin seeds have been found in Mexico and date back to somewhere between 7000-5550 B.C.. Pumpkins (along with other forms of squash) were a historically important food staple among Native Americans. 25 Oct 2018.

How were pumpkins used as medicine?
Native Americans used pumpkin flesh and seeds for food. Their use of the seeds for the treatment of intestinal infections eventually led the United States Pharmacopoeia to list pumpkin seeds as an official medicine for parasite elimination from 1863 to 1936.

Modern science confirms that pumpkin seeds have an impressive nutrient profile that benefits many aspects of your health. They're a rich source of protein, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals that reduce risk factors of chronic diseases, including cancer.17 Nov 2020

How much pumpkin seeds should I eat per day?
a quarter cup
Rich in magnesium, iron and fibre, the seeds make for a healthy and crunchy snack. The American Heart Association recommends having a quarter cup (30 grams) of pumpkin seeds every day as a part of a healthy diet.1 Feb 2021

What happens if you eat pumpkin seeds everyday?
Pumpkin seeds are highly nutritious and packed with powerful antioxidants. Eating them can help solve dietary deficiencies and may protect against various health problems. In fact, pumpkin seeds have been shown to improve heart health, blood sugar levels, fertility and sleep quality.24 Sept 2018.

Universe Poems Jun 2021
When you have not known,
someone that long
Remember even a year,
or two is not prolonged,
in knowing a person in full
The Social context
It is easy you see,
to mimic other people's behaviour,
on a one to one,
or a very small number sum
Among larger groups,
you will see the broken loops
Uncomfortable for a start
Inappropriate outputs,
that may make,
you want to bark,
or question,
did they really say something,
in a context,
while in the Social specs
Time and, place,
will show the grace
Out of the Social set,
copying your life,
as if it is their daily requisite
Only things you have,
talked about with this one
Certain places you shop,
things in your life,
you are undertaking
and, doing a lot
Do they all of a sudden,
want the same things
No this is Borderline (BPD)
Personality Disorder,
living between sanity,
and, psychosis,
this is real you see
Long term unstable relationships
Strong emotional,
reactions and, dips
Threats of Self harm
Fear of abandonment charm
Feelings of emptiness,
that cause alarm
Some people may not have,
this knowledge above,
or work colleagues,
who can advise your bug
Listen well,
act on advice you are given,
so you can tell,
what is taking place,
ever so well
In some cases this could save a life,
or others you support with advice

Don't Come Home Role Play
Universe Poems Sep 2022
Called your phone more than three times
You don't answer,
when you see it is me calling
I was working
Working!
You mean talking to other women,
that's your work
Don't bother coming home
Carry on your conversations,
with those other women,
that are known

Poetry reader
Books were cascading in a parade

Drama actor/actress
Why did they take on that format when reading was impaled

Poetry reader
It was the forcefulness of how one laid,
the content and cover,
without considering the feelings of another

Drama actor/actress
Oh I see,
one should not be forceful to thee
Instead find out what they like to read,
for pleasure that be

Poetry reader
An open mind that is a good kind

Drama actor/actress
It definitely is
I am understanding that considering,
the individual is primary bounding

Poetry reader
I will conclude in the knowledge mood,
that understanding of the person centred landing,
has touched down smoothly

I have been passionate about drama and the benefits to all for many years. Drama is another art that builds confidence, provides self expression, promotes self esteem, for all ages and abilities.

I wanted to devise the:
Mini Performance Script Writing Service.
Which is the expression of words through poetry combined with drama.

Mother Nature's Beauty
Universe Poems Nov 2021
Good morning Mother Nature,
good morning to you
What splendour,  
what grandeur,
what a magnificent view.

Standing tall, some small,
some old and some new,
the canopies of trees,
shrubs and toadstools
An array of colours,
scents and hues,
what a wonder,
what a view

The strands,
of communication,
as above, so below,
mirrored reflection,
of both seen and unseen
It's reality, not a dream

It's amazing the parallels,
of night and day,
still gives light to the beauty,
they both display  

Take a second
a minute, an hour,
or a day to look at the,
view's you'll be amazed,
at the very essence,
of your own life's pages,
pictures, stories, memories,
that have been documented,
framed and those yet to unfold.

Thank you ancient of ancient,
thank you Mother Nature,
for my own personalised messages,
echoed within yourself,
its also a true reflection of me

In love and light to you

No today
That reality,
is far away
A moment,
bestowment,

Salient factor
Remarkable capture
What can't be changed,
should not be in your range
Instead focus on what,
needs to be done,
making you happy,
before your sleep will come,
or sitting for a moment,
when nothing needs to be said,
accept relaxing thoughts,
in your head
Focus on what is needed,

each moment,

Late at night my heart
skipped a beat,
while going
back out into the dark street
It was for all the

so this time
it settled, and went back
to comfort, and beat
Letting me know that what I was feeling,
will end up being very deep, and
could turn out being for
Eternal keep.

Washing Cycle
Universe Poems Aug 2021
I am looking through the window there,
seeing all the hurt and, pain,
that wounded and,
left people in shame
The bigger picture depicts,
a lot of setup sticks
Shaped spears,
with intent to defragment,
while causing fears,
the minds have been washed,
from long ago
Contained to believe so
Generations inbuilt,
with you are low,
for a purpose,
to keep in check,
and, take away focus,
creating Societal reject
Control starts from the top,
to filter down and, control,
those who are not Crown
Open minds so eyes can see,
educate the younger generation,
to instill free,
making sure they understand history,
and, dominance of the illuminati

Fir tree
brought into the home
by Pagans anciently,
when it was Yuletide,
and time for family
Your tree represents,
everlasting life and fertility,
a new human-being
Nature
that you can meet and see
Decorations
Plenty of light
Candles are bright
Festive ornaments,
celebrating the return of light,
after dark days have been in sight
Hang a sock by the fireplace
Feast
Loved ones and peace
Steeped in Pagan roots
The Eve a family holiday
Presents and a special meal,

Values through the natural guide
Nature and people are one
Together they reside

I hope you are growing,
ready for the cookery jewel
Precious food started as a seed,
but love and care,
from nature's universe was there
I placed my hands,
into the compost that expands
I also gave them,
water as their drink
When the raindrops fell,

they didn't sink,
they enjoyed their drink
The water made them blink
Telling them it is time to wake,

Great Smile
Universe Poems May 2023
Twenty six years
Long stay
Then life must change
Imagine that's all you have ever known,
in life everyone should be happy,
that should be shown
A few years later
You came along,
at times we both felt not strong
He does not judge
He sees you as you are
He does not listen,
to what others say by far
His own opinions of you,
is what enables him,
to see what is true
When there was no one there,
just love and care
The journey in a working life,
he stayed and never left
A lot of information he reads,
but he knows it supports the needs
He never complains,
only supporting the life reins
He has faced bereavement,
and great loss,
in the last few years
A father,
then grandfather,
both close together,
but we both empathised,
as we both faced a loss
of looking into a father's eyes,
while breath passes through,
their bodies and the skies
I will forever be thankful for you,
and I will love you,
even when I live my eternal life too

Anytime - Any Place
Universe Poems Jun 2021
Where do you write?
Randomly any little space,
that it can be
Or a designated place,
where you go to enlace
Standing in a shop,
talking to an elderly grandma,
then the mind pops
While cleaning the house,
or apartment where you are
When you talk to people,
is your mind churning,
like a milking parlour machine,
at the bar
Anywhere any space,
write as it comes,
record your thoughts,
for when your mind,
hits the numbs
Or loses a word,
then the sentence,
Just as it comes
