This is the last post in our pre-Thanksgiving Rubenstein Library Test Kitchen series. We hope you've enjoyed exploring our collections through food and found some find some historical inspiration for your own Thanksgiving. If you're local join us on December 3rd from 3-4:30 in Perkins 217 for our tasting event and a chance to sample these recipes!
When I set off on my hunt for a recipe for my turn in the Rubenstein Library Test Kitchen, I knew only that I wanted a fun challenge. For a search that began with nothing in particular to guide it, I found a very lovely little book that seemed perfectly suited for me in my task. One thing I love about working in the Rubenstein Library is that I'm never sure what I'll come across in a day's work but I'm always delighted or intrigued by what I find, and this book was no exception! It is an artists' book called Light and Flaky: Portrait of the Artist's Mother: a Cookbook (1982) and was made by Lise Melhorn-Boe. The work combines Melhorn-Boe's mother's memories of experiences and adventures in cooking along with recipes from these stories and photographs of her mother throughout her life. And the handmade paper that covers the book is made from tea towels, aprons, tablecloths and dish cloths. The book was collected by the Sallie Bingham Center for Women's History and Culture here at the Rubenstein.
In the spirit of the book's many memories about cooking for a large family, I chose two recipes to make for the lovely family that lives next door to me. The recipes I chose also give a good sense of the work as a whole, since these recipes are accompanied by touching and silly remembrances and photographs. I made a Corn, Rice, and Beef Casserole and a Blueberry Pie for my friend, her parents, and her two boys (4 and 8 years old respectively).
I began my cooking adventure as soon as I returned home from the Rubenstein one evening: I first made the pie crust. The recipe calls for an all-Crisco crust, and I just happened to have a very very old tin of it in my cupboard. Perfect! Also slightly disturbing, since I couldn't figure out where it came from. I didn't tell my guests that, though! I let the crust chill for a while as I assembled the casserole.
It's an extremely simple recipe. I cooked up a cup of rice, opened a can of corn, browned a pound of ground beef, and threw everything together in a dish to bake for 20 minutes at 350. I thought I'd jazz up this plain casserole just a bit for my special guests, and added onions and a dash of ground cloves (a flavor sensation that I picked up from my own mom) to the meat, and threw a bunch of cheddar on top towards the end of its baking. When the dish was cooked, I also chopped up some parsley and chives from my porch for a tasty garnish. This was an easy and fast recipe to fix for a bunch of folks at a moment's notice, and there could be endless improvisation depending on what you had on hand.
Back to the pie: When the time came during my preparations to roll out my crust, I had a lot of trouble keeping it together. My guess is that I hadn't given it enough time to chill. But I was determined to have everything done in time, so I pressed shards of it into my pie dish anyway, in a slapdash and frantic fashion, and poured in 3 cups of blueberries that I'd frozen from the summer (tossed with flour, sugar, butter, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg, as the recipe suggests). Although the recipe noted that this crust would be enough for two, I didn't find that to be the case, so I also whipped up a crumble topping with flour, brown sugar, butter, and spices.
Things came together just in time after all. The casserole was warming and hearty, and a good reminder that cooking for friends doesn't have to be complicated or fancy. I noticed that one of my young taste-testers ate it up in a flash and quickly disappeared under the table to begin tying guests' shoelaces together. I took this as an excellent review.
The pie wasn't done until after the boys' bedtime, which means that I had a lot leftover and have been enjoying it with ice cream for breakfast ever since. Despite small disasters in its making, and although it won't supplant my tried and true butter-only pastry crust recipe, it was pretty delicious. It was also fitting that it would give me trouble since, in one of the stories in this book, Lise's mother Pauline recalls summers when she would bake wild blueberry pies with her aunt; on one such occasion, her aunt mistakenly uses salt instead of sugar. Even in their attempts to hide the evidence of their error from an angry mother, they are beset with trials: "We tried burning [it] in a little old iron stove – we just had enormous clumps of large crystals, which we dragged out to the garden, and covered with earth and tears." Luckily, no tears were shed in the making of my pie misshapen though it was.
I looked at this book alongside another by Melhorn-Boe called Recipes (2001), also part of the Sallie Bingham Center's collection. It is housed in an old recipe card tin, and contains memories and reflections of several women about family and food, typed on recipe cards and divided by topic — including "Atmosphere" (stern, relaxed, in silence, in front of the television), "The Cook" (stories about mothers and fathers and how they shared kitchen work, or didn't), "Force-feeding" (thoughts about weight, body image, and abhorrent foods forced upon the writers – like lima beans!), and "Manners" (mouths closed, guests served first, elbows off the table).
Both works are funny and sweet (and sometimes bittersweet), and contain much food for thought about women's roles in the kitchen and in the domestic labour of family life generally, and how these have changed over time.

Rubenstein Library Test Kitchen: Sweet Potato Custard (1870)
For this week's test kitchen, I made a Sweet Potato Custard from a recipe in the November 1870 issue of The Rural Carolinian. The Rural Carolinian was "An Illustrated Magazine of Agriculture, Horticulture, and the Arts" published out of Charleston, South Carolina that provided advice and information on a number of topics that would have been of interest to farmers. Other articles in this issue include "How to Utilize Forest Leaves," "Prickly Pear or Cactus," and "How to Prune a Peach Tree" as well as more general interest reading such as "Anesthesia — What Is It? And to Whom are we Indebted for it?"
Each issue of The Rural Carolinian also included recipes, part of the magazine's "Literary and Home Department," which was intended to appeal to women, broadening the magazine's audience. They sought submissions from women, asking them "Will not our dear friends, the ladies, interest themselves in our behalf and help us to make this department an attractive feature of The Rural Carolinian." The recipes included aren't necessarily what we think of as recipes, under recipes this issue has instructions on how to make "family glue" and lamp wicks. However, this is in line with the older sense of the word which encompasses any "statement of the ingredients and procedure required for making something," per the Oxford English Dictionary.
When I originally saw this recipe, I was interested, thinking, "I've never had sweet potato custard before!" Especially next to recipes like family glue, pumpkin chips, and apple water, it seemed unusual and intriguing. I didn't read the recipe all the way through at first, and I missed the part where you put it in a pie crust, making it a not-so exotic sweet potato pie. Even still, I wanted to see how it compared to our modern sweet potato pies.
Like a lot of pre-twentieth century recipes, the recipe is minimalist in its approach and doesn't offer detailed directions. The recipe calls for four sweet potatoes, and I bought four originally, but I think the sweet potatoes sold at my farmers market are monsters compared to what was available in 1870, so I used only two of them.
The recipe didn't specify what to do with them beyond boiling and mashing, so I peeled and cubed them first before tossing them in a pot of boiling water until they were soft, about twenty minutes. After that I added the "two large spoonsful of butter," which I interpreted as just over two tablespoons of butter, as well as a little salt. Then I got to use my potato masher, which only gets used at Thanksgiving. This gave me two cups of mashed sweet potato, which ended up being enough to fill my pie and then some.
Next four eggs "beat light," sugar, spice, and milk or cream are mixed in with the mashed sweet potatoes. As Aaron noted in his post about rice apples, the lack of specifics in a recipe would have allowed for flexibility and improvisation based around what you had in your pantry. I appreciated this when the recipe called for milk or cream to thin it out, since all I had in the house was half-and-half. But I was a little flummoxed by the "teaspoonful of ground spice" called for. Was this referring to some particular spice that if I were cooking in 1870 would have just known? As a good librarian, I did some more primary source research and looked at other recipes from the era. As far as I could tell "spice" didn't mean any particular spice, and there wasn't one spice that dominated recipes of this time period. Cinnamon, nutmeg, mace, and cloves all come up frequently. I settled on half a teaspoon of cinnamon and half a teaspoon of nutmeg which was a tasty choice, but I think any common spices would be good.
There was also the matter of a half-pound of sugar. Before Fannie Farmer popularized standard and level measurements of cups, tablespoons, and teaspoons in her 1896 Boston Cooking-School Cook Book, recipes offered looser measurements (hopefully your household cups and spoons were similar in size to the recipe author's!) or if you were lucky weights. But I don't have a scale and had to do a little converting. According to Farmer, one pound of sugar is equal to two cups, so I added a cup of sugar to my potato mixture.
After combining all this, it is to be poured into a "rich pie crust" that had been rolled thin and put in a pie plate. Interestingly, no pie crust recipe was offered, which makes me think the author thought everyone would have had a pie crust recipe at the ready. I went with a basic all-butter crust. Given the number of other recipes in The Rural Carolinian that call for lard, a crust with lard would have been more authentic, but I wanted my vegetarian friends to be able to partake.
The final direction is to "bake brown." Grateful for a modern oven where I have the ability to set a temperature, I went with 350. I kept waiting for my pie to get "brown" and it never quite got there, so I took it out after an hour. This may have been a little too long; it did crack once it cooled. Next time, I'd check it at 45 minutes and if the center seemed cooked thoroughly, I wouldn't worry about it getting brown.
Despite the slight overcooking, this was a very good sweet potato pie. There was nothing that distinguished it from any more modern sweet potato pies I've eaten though. I took a look at some modern recipes and they're remarkably similar, though they usually have more butter and fewer eggs in them. I think I'll actually fix this again for Thanksgiving, though I want to try pairing it with an ahistorical maple bourbon whipped cream.
Want to make history this Thanksgiving? Every Friday between now and Thanksgiving, we'll be sharing a recipe from our collections that one of our staff members has found, prepared, and tasted. We're excited to bring these recipes out of their archival boxes and into our kitchens (metaphorically, of course!), and we hope you'll find some historical inspiration for your own Thanksgiving.

Welcome, Tracy Jackson!
We recently welcomed a new staff member Tracy Jackson to the Rubenstein Library! We asked her a few questions to help us—and you—get to know her a little better!
Tell us a little bit about your new job at the Rubenstein Library!
My job here at the Rubenstein is Technical Services Archivist for University Archives. I'll be overseeing the processing of University related collections, including the arrangement, description, and preservation of current and new materials, and I'll also be a part of the Technical Services Management Team. Since I'm new to Duke, I'm really excited to be working with such great collections and knowledgeable colleagues.
How did you become an archivist?
I knew I was interested in archives when I went to library school, but couldn't have said why until I started working in the North Carolina Collection Photographic Archives at UNC. I just loved getting to know the materials, seeing the faces and personalities of people from the past, and since I also worked the reference desk in the graduate library, getting to tell people about all the cool stuff I'd found and why they should go see it, too. Getting to work in-depth with collections is what makes this job so great.
What's your favorite thing you've discovered in an archival collection and why?
With a small collection of family photographs, I discovered a gold-plated, decorative set of make-up cases from the 1940s. There was a powder compact with mirror and a lipstick case, and they were beautiful. In collection of family letter from the 18th and 19th century there was a young woman's dance card from a ball, with a tiny pencil still attached. I love finding the unexpected in collections, especially the things that remind me how much the people who created them were really not very different from us.
What aspect of your new job are you most excited about?
I'm so excited to get to know the collections here. Duke has such rich collections, and the University Archives document the incredibly diverse activities of the University. I'm very excited about diving in and getting to know, then getting to share, what we have.
Tell us something unique about yourself.
I tried a couple of careers before becoming an archivist, and for a short time I lived in Los Angeles and tried out special effects make-up artistry. I worked on a few student films and ultra-low-budget movies, and even though I didn't do it for long, it was a lot of fun. These days I only use those skills at Halloween, though!
Thanks, Tracy! We're so glad you're here!
"Human Rights, Truth Telling, and Justice" Symposium
Date: Friday November 14th, 2014
Time: 9:00am-4:00pm
Location: Smith Warehouse, Bay 4, Franklin Garage
The Human Rights Archive is co-sponsoring a symposium that will focus on truth telling and justice in the context of human rights. The exciting list of speakers includes representatives from two of the Archive's partners:
Eduardo González is Director of the International Center for Transitional Justice's (ICTJ) Truth and Memory Program, which provides advice to countries on truth commissions, declassification of archives, memorialization activities, museums, and other instruments. He has provided technical and strategic support to truth-seeking initiatives in places as diverse as East Timor, Morocco, Liberia, Canada, and the Western Balkans. Before joining ICTJ, he helped organize and carry out the Peruvian Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Previously, he worked as an advocate for the establishment of the International Criminal Court. The historical records of ICTJ are also part of the Human Rights Archive in the Rubenstein Library.
Pamela Merchant is the Executive Director of the Center for Justice and Accountability (CJA), and an attorney with 25 years of experience in the conduct and management of complex state and federal litigation. She joined CJA in October 2005 and has overseen a period of significant growth – both programmatically and financially. Under her leadership, CJA has grown from an organization devoted solely to human rights litigation in the U.S. to one that also engages in human rights litigation in foreign jurisdictions, such as Spain and Cambodia. Ms. Merchant has testified before Congress on accountability for human rights abusers and other human rights issues and received degrees from Georgetown University and Boston College School of Law. Ms. Merchant will explore changes in the field over the past 30 years with a particular focus on the resilience of survivors and their communities and the critical role they play in building high impact human rights cases.

Knight Quest
Knight Quest - we bring the adventure to you!
Brave 6-14 year olds are taken on a guided quest to hunt the dragon.
Kids split into two teams and play medieval games including jousting (with hobby horses), tug of war and a tunnel run on the way to facing the dragon.
Also includes the traditional party games - pass the parcel, pin the lance on the dragon and a treasure hunt.
Kids prepare for the quest by choosing their shields and learn what the symbols used in heraldry mean. They are dressed in a tunic, then taught how to be chivalrous like a knight before being handed their foam sword for some basic sword skill practice. Emphasis is on safety, participation and fun - some games may be left out or lengthened depending on how much FUN they are having - guaranteed there will be a LOT!
Lots of photo opportunities for kids and parents to dress up in high quality replica arms and armour - or put your kids in the stocks!
All this at your party venue or nearby park (in the Greater Sydney area). If unsure about location please call and we can come to an arrangement.
Take homes for each and every child include:
- pass the parcel gift + prizes
- chocolate bars and treasure coins
- brightly coloured dragon slayer certificate with your child's name
Unique party experience that they will never forget!
Pirates are so yesterday.....

We organised Sir Ian to come for our son's 7 year old birthday party.

Slow New England job growth seen lagging US gainsBy STEPHEN SINGER
The Associated Press | November 17,2013
Albert J. Marro / Staff Photo ¬ Travis Cousino of GWA Construction of Fair Haven nails together boards for framing the new Center Rutland fire station in Rutland Town. VMS Construction of Rutland is the general contractor for the project. 09/10/13HARTFORD, Conn. Federal spending cuts and reduced consumer demand are slowing economic growth in New England, according to new projections.
The report by the New England Economic Partnership, a nonprofit group that provides analyses and forecasts, said economic growth of 3 percent through 2017 is less than whats considered even moderate.
Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts are expected to continue to boast the strongest economies in the region in the next four years.
In addition, employment growth of 2 percent in the six New England states will be below the national average. Massachusetts has recovered jobs lost in the 18-month recession from December 2007 to June 2009, and Vermont will soon follow.
The greater Boston area has been a bright spot in the New England economy, leading the region in job growth and more than recovering the jobs lost in the recession, said Ross Gittell, manager of the New England forecast.
The strong Boston economy also has propelled Massachusetts to lead New England states in economic performance, he said. About one-third of the states job recovery can be attributed to employment gains in the Boston metropolitan area.
With slow employment growth elsewhere in the region, the unemployment rate in New England is expected to decline gradually, from 6.7 percent in this years third quarter to 6.4 percent in late 2014 and to below 6 percent in the first quarter of 2016.
Unemployment in 2017 is expected to be lowest in Vermont (3.7 percent) and New Hampshire (3.3 percent). Joblessness is expected to be 6.1 percent in Rhode Island and 6 percent in Maine. Connecticut is expected to have the regions highest unemployment rate, 6.5 percent, by 2017.
The regions unemployment rate in mid-2017 is expected to be 5.4 percent. Thats a significant decline from the peak of 8.7 percent in 2010 but still above the pre-recession rate of 5 percent in the second quarter of 2008.
The strongest annual average growth rate in New England 1.8 percent in New Hampshire through 2017 is still lower than the 1.9 percent average annual employment growth nationally. Maines growth rate is the lowest in New England, at 0.7 percent.
Housing is a bright spot as home prices and sales rise, boosting construction and related industries. But it comes with a warning: Even with a significant turnaround this year and rising prices in the region anticipated through 2017, housing prices in all the New England states except Vermont are expected to be below their peak levels.MORE IN National / World BusinessLOS ANGELES Its back, and its back on a scale that is well matched to this car-centric city.

The buried Martian city of Freehold, long abandoned, is home to a decaying artificial intelligence of immeasurable value. This lost power has drawn the interest of the militaristic Cabal, and their brutal forces. That means the Guardians have some work to do in this white-knuckle, cooperative mission set within the Dust Palace.
With the launch of Destiny just days away, we take a closer look at this exclusive Crucible map and what secrets it has in store for aspiring Guardians.
With Bungie's epic shooter Destiny hitting PS4 and PS3 with a mountain of PlayStation-exclusive maps, guns, and gear, we've compiled an in-depth video that outlines exactly what you'll get come September 9th. Watch the official trailer above — it's quite the production!
"Let's make one thing clear," Jonty Barnes, creative director on Destiny tells us just four weeks before the game's official launch, "From the very beginning, the Destiny beta was a very big test for us – we put a huge investment into our online infrastructure and we needed to make sure it worked."
If you were one of the brave testers in the Destiny Beta, you might have had your first taste of competitive action in the Crucible. When Destiny launches on September 9th, you'll have even more ways to prove your skill against other champions of the last safe city on Earth.
Today, PS4 and PS3 owners will get a chance to experience Bungie's galaxy-spanning epic Destiny for the first time. Assuming the role of a newly revived Human, Awoken, or Exo, players will explore the ruins of a Russian Cosmodrome and battle hordes of formidable Fallen and feral Hive, all while earning new skills and collecting increasingly effective weapons and armor.
UPDATE: If you want to upgrade your PlayStation digital preorder of Destiny to the new Digital Guardian Edition, head to PlayStation Store and the price should reflect the difference. For those who haven't preordered any digital version, you'll see the full price of $89.99.
It's Bungie Day. You want information. You want answers! You want the truth. Here goes…
Happy Bungie Day, PlayStation Nation. We're thrilled to share in our annual celebration of community among gamers with some exciting news about Destiny. You've imagined yourselves in the boots of a Guardian, prowling the wild frontier in search of treasure and glory. The time for dreaming is almost over. The time to fight is at hand. The Destiny Beta is our chance to fill our brave new world with life and see how it holds up against the stampede.

On paper, Gov. George E. Pataki has shrunk the payroll of the Executive Chamber significantly this year, paring 30 salaried employees and cutting 10 part-time interns. But like most things in Albany, what appears on paper is not the whole story.
Nearly two years ago, the governor announced a hiring freeze to confront the state's intractable budget woes, and since then the Department of Motor Vehicles, the Health Department and other state agencies have lost more than 10,000 employees, or 5.3 percent of the work force, through attrition, budget officials say.
The requirement that all new hiring be approved by the budget director was a central part of the state's effort to close a $11.5 billion budget shortfall this year.
Yet even as Mr. Pataki did his part this year to shrink the size of state government, reducing the Executive Chamber by 17 percent, he did it in ways that managed to protect his personal appointees, payroll records show. He also continued hiring to fill vacancies, in several cases rewarding campaign workers or political allies.
In addition, the governor's budget does not account for 40 people who work for the Executive Chamber but are on the payrolls of other state agencies, a separate staff that has not shrunk in the last two years and has, in fact, been replenished with new hires, budget officials say. Those employees, like those on his payroll, work for him in Albany and Manhattan, performing tasks including legal work, travel arrangements and public relations. When those people are accounted for, the staff reduction this year is closer to 14 percent.
It is not unusual for a governor to find creative ways to hold onto his staff, particularly those who have worked closely with him in a campaign. Governors going back at least to Nelson A. Rockefeller have used similar practices to keep the bottom line of the Executive Chamber down while finding ways to make strategic hires.
A close analysis of payroll and employment records obtained from the state comptroller's office shows that Mr. Pataki is no exception. While cutting his staff, he has found berths for dozens of close aides in other state agencies, according to the state records. The transferred employees were almost always paid the same or a higher salary.
The governor has also continued to hire, despite the freeze, replacing many of the 39 aides who retired or left the government for the private sector over the last two years. This year, for instance, he hired 25 people, 10 of them to fill the positions paid out of other state agencies' budgets.
Lisa Dewald Stoll, the governor's communications director, said the hiring of new people to fill vacant positions in the Executive Chamber was justified because each job filled was deemed a vital position. The governor restructured the office earlier this year, consolidated many positions and has since lived up to his commitment in his budget address to prune his staff, she said.
''We can't do these jobs without having people work here,'' she said. ''To the extent we could, we restructured and downsized. And we did bring people on as others left and filled the roles they played.''
The records show that some came with political connections. Among those hired in 2002 by Mr. Pataki were the son of a Republican state senator for a temporary position and the relatives of two G.O.P. lawmakers for permanent spots, payroll records show.
He also hired Walter Breakell, a Republican political operative from New York City who worked on the Pataki campaign last year.
Mr. Breakell was given a $120,000-a-year post in the Executive Chamber in January. But he is being paid through a welfare agency, budget officials say. His title of director of strategic research and analysis makes him the top researcher for the governor's staff, the same role he played in the campaign, Pataki aides said. There is no indication that he performs any duties for the welfare agency, the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance.
Mr. Breakell did not return a telephone call for comment.
The governor also gave Douglas Blais, another political research specialist in his campaign, an $87,500-a-year job in his office, paid for from the budget of the Empire State Development Corporation.
Mr. Blais, a Republican from Virginia who once worked for former Gov. George F. Allen, who is now a United States senator, was given the title of assistant to the governor for New York City affairs, working on issues related to the rebuilding of Lower Manhattan, Ms. Stoll said.
The governor first announced restrictions on hiring in the wake of the terrorist attacks in September 2001, declaring a freeze that October. He has reiterated that stance several times since.
However, the payroll records show he waited until after the 2002 election to begin cutting his own chamber's work force. Indeed, his office's payroll grew in early 2002, reaching 178 salaried employees and 32 interns in April, with a cost of $11.4 million.
Once the voters returned him to office, however, the payroll dropped last January to the same level it had been before the hiring freeze, about $10.6 million, with 170 salaried employees, the payroll records show.

1) You may not have to worry about "legal and emissions issues," because you can put language in your sales agreement like "off road use only." However, your customers will have to worry about such things if they live in a state where emissions are checked.
2) BMW dealers may not have the equipment to detect one of your tunes, but BMW "corporate" does, and they are ones who will have to approve an engine repair or replacement warranty claim, so it's not completely accurate to say, "warranty is a non issue."
Granted, a responsible tune is highly unlikely to cause an engine problem during a warranty period, but overall longevity in comparison to OEM is an unknown.
However, if an engine melts down for another reason, there is a very big warranty question mark for a car with a modified ECU because the ECU is probably going to be downloaded by the dealer and sent for analysis by BMW in Germany, as a requirement before approving a warranty claim
Exactly, and thats when its risky

These Personification Childhood poems are examples of Personification poems about Childhood. These are the best examples of Personification Childhood poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
If you don't find the poem you want here, try our incredible, super duper, all-knowing, advanced poem search engine.
One moist patch, like dewy grass,
surrounded by a field of weeds,
emerges first and breathes at last,
through openings, the air it needs.
Cut off from, and cut off of;
counting on, and counting in;
from down below, to up above -
A smack on tender, crimson skin.
There is a pulse.
One spring bud, like seedling stems,
surrounded by a garden wall,
is standing out from all of them,
despite the fact, they're just as tall.
And though the bud has not yet grown,
the soil and the water see
more than just the seed they've sewn.
They see the flower it will be.
There is a pulse.
One tall stem, like climbing vines,
surrounded by its petals' plumes,
shares its elegant designs,
and stretches as it blooms.
And when the wind begins to call,
the flower spreads it's pollen 'round.
It falls in love, and loves in fall,
and falling love renews the ground.
There is a pulse.
Little sparrow, what troubles thee
is it the stigma you face
little sparrow, what pierces thee
is it the shame of disgrace
is it the bitterness in your heart,
or the offense you can't forgive
is it the anguish that sets you apart,
or the hurt that holds you captive
what befalls you
is neither unfelt nor unknown
God cares and calls you
when you're cast out and all alone
God will never forsake you
in your time of need;
God will never permit you
to suffer or bleed.
02/19/2014; for "TO HEAL A HEART" Contest
Jungle Jim is rather grim
And now is old and gray
He misses the activity
Of children hard at play
The children grew
Made new friends too
And eventually moved away
Now his time has past
He's failing fast
And falls into decay
I sat on the toy store shelf, feeling all bottled-up and unwanted.
The kids prefer to play with video games, these days,
rather than being outdoors with me.
Then one day, this little girl grabbed me down from the shelf
and begged her Mommy to buy me.
She took me out to play as soon as we got home.
The spring day was so bright as I met the sun for the first time.
I could not contain the joy that I felt
as she unscrewed the lid and dipped the plastic wand
into the soapy liquid. She brought the wand to her lips
and gently blew out a line of iridescent bubbles.
I felt so free, floating through the air with my new friends.
Her giggles of delight were the sweetest sound.
She dances as we swirl around her. Pure imagination takes over
as she pretends to be a fish in a bubbly underwater world.
I will never forget the wonder that was in her eyes.
The wind caught each one of us, taking us on a new adventure.
She runs to try and catch me as I drift up and away from her.

Hush little one I see and hear your tears
If only I could comfort you and squelch your fears.
I feel your fists pounding against my walls
I'll be with you no matter what trouble befalls
Your foster mother will one day have to face her fate
Don't let her teach you the meaning of the word hate
You are a wonderful child and have done nothing wrong
You must not let her break your spirit, please stay strong
Ignore her vulgar words, let them wash over you
Don't take it to heart, it's definitely not true
The bruises she inflicts will one day cease
I feel your anguish, use me as your release.
Make your dents on me to ease some distress
Frustration and anger you should never suppress
I want you as strong and solid as my own foundation
Please don't succumb to her inflicted demoralization
One day you'll be grown and will have a heart of gold
But for now my walls will watch, listen and always enfold.

Silvery Moon drifts through open window.
Baby's bassinet is bathed in evening sky.
Across the open yards, Silvery Moon gifts,
gifts love and devotion to taper the shadows.
A shimmer to shield from darkness
dusting sleepy lids with light like baby powder.
Hold fast to fleeting innocence
and boldness of brilliant shield
as you swaddle my tender babe tonight
through open window, Silvery Moon.
By Rhonda Johnson-Saunders, August 7, 2012
Inspired by Babyface (Carl Sandburg)
The dark crept with its black humor
Rallied at the little girls feet
Dared her to move by casting his shadow
Made of a witches broom and a boogeyman
He screamed at the trees and made the tremble
While she grabbed tighter her blanket
Said louder her prayers
That made the dark hiss and react
Moved his apparition under her bed
Then roun' to her closet
With his shady hands he triggers a sound almost like a creek
Lulled the chill bumps from her shoulders
Shut down the night-light
Making it dim and of no help
The black of night
Will laugh into the wolfs howl
Dominating the suns anticipated descend
The big, bad wolf wears a suit of gray with a snide smile.
Standing upright, he believes himself to be debonaire
as he takes his comb from his breast pocket and slicks back his hair.
Why does he flash his pearly white fangs
and file his claws 'til they're razor sharp?
He smells the fear of docile creatures; he taunts the weak,
stalking his prey while vultures circle overhead in waiting.
The face of evil in a fairy tale with girls wearing red cloaks
and shepherd boys watching their flocks on hillsides.
Flames like daggers from his yellow eyes pierce the pastoral images.
Clear skies become dark by his phantom-like shadows.
He walks tall in black boots of Italian leather
towering higher than treetops in their eyes
beyond the echoes of his menacing laughter.
The woodland creatures cower in their hiding places,
yet hope for a glimpse of the beautiful princess
in her dazzling horse-drawn carriage crossing the forest.
Through the darkness, the ancient land shines like an emerald
with fragrant flowers in bloom; the petals strewn her path
in a storybook from a child's shelf between rainbow bookends.
Surely, heavenly showers shall rain down on the land
and good shall overcome evil with rainbows coloring the pages
as an enchanted princess in a shimmering gown rights all wrongs,
though her strength is not immediately evident.
Melodious birds fly on the outskirts of the tale,
orbiting the forest without fear, searching for the light.
The princess, oblivious to danger, dances amongst the trees
calling the shy creatures from their hiding places.
She ignores the wolf's hideous laughter in a dream-state.
Looking for her prince, she kisses a frog to no avail
then spies three little pigs with curly tails and fearful eyes.
They know the wolf too well. His gray suit coats the dreams
of their happily ever afters. Our heroine, the princess, wipes their tears,
rolls up her sleeves, and builds a brick fortress.
She bravely changes history to her story not giving in to fear.
Fear only fuels her adrenalin rush 'til the job is done.
The wolf huffs and puffs, bites and claws unable to infiltrate.
He eventually sulks off on all fours with his tail between his legs
and is never heard from again. At least, not in this storyland.
By Rhonda Johnson-Saunders

*the wolf is personified
The wind sketches
memories in the breeze.
Little feet move,
propelling giggles;
"Daddy, push me please!"
The wind draws
my memories,
transfixed by the breeze
"To the sky, Daddy! To the sky!"
Soft, faded memories,
The wind blows
and I move.
Longing hangs upon the breeze.
Small feet pumping shrieks;
"Stop, Daddy, stop!
Title; "Higher Please"
The wind blows
with it I move
memory stirs with the breeze.
Small feet swinging, beat
"Daddy push me please!"
The wind blows
with it I move
retrospection stirs with the breeze.
"Higher Daddy!" "Higher!"
Faint, soft memories.
The wind blows
with it I move
longing stirs with the breeze.
Small feet, pump, pull and shriek;
"STOP, stop" "Daddy!" "Please"

Little children shall
Commence as
The birds'... they
Shall fly
* The humble shall reap
At it's beginning
Poet Author
Gary Fields
Dear Soap Bubble,
bright focus
in an air-light reflection
of the ephemeral beauty
of this world
diaphanous soul
in despair
Emotional universum
rumbling inside the anima
of a tiny simple
passionate creature
I shall enjoy thy sight
Shall I live in fear
for you not to burst
Shall I be the wind
to blow tenderly
directing thy path
Thy shelter shall I be
I surrender myself to thee
How did you get where your at?
Do you lie to yourself?
Do you hold back?
Or do you know what your doing,
of coarse you do!
What worries me,
Does that satisfy you!?
You made me sad,
You made me cry,
You ****ed up,
Your precious life,
You had everything,
Good family,
You split us up,
To get what you "need"
You say the word love,
Then threatened me!?
I play it cool,
But I'm terrified,
I cant even,
Close my eyes at night.
I'm that scared,
But not for me,
I'd risk my life,
For what i have left,
For My Family.
You ****ed up my brain,
From age 1-6,
Said if i told,
No one would listen,
You threatened not only me,
But my Family,
Even your own son,
How the **** could this be?
My father is a great man,
Found a beautiful wife,
That's where i came in,
And you know what,
They trusted you,
Every weekend,
Till toddler ages were through,
You decieved them,
You decieved me,
And all the 9 other grandchildren,
That was forced to be,
I feel the pain,
I feel the tears,
I feel the hatred,
Your voice in my ears.
I see the scares,
That you have made,
I make new markes,
To forget about who really made the pain.
How did you get where your at?
Do they really think,
That jail will put you on track?
If they think that then they're wrong,
You've lost everything from one choice,
Your too far gone!!!!
Lollipop kisses (sticky sweet)
Impress their nectar upon your whiskered cheek:
Your hand absently wiped away their adolescent aftertaste.
Despondent arms:
Outstretched for a reassuring (pretentious) hug
Grasp only the stale air of your indifference
Breathed upon my naively upturned face:
Smothered in incognizance.
Does it mystify?
That I have excommunicated myself from
Your well rehearsed pleasantries?
Your hypocritical attempts to condone justification of
Your displaced loyalty simply compounds the situation.
Your bed is not mine to lie in -
Your rules no longer mine to follow.
Perhaps now you will be the one to recite fairy-tales
On feather-filled pillows, as silent tears cascade down
Self erected barricades, puddling by your cheek...
Pray you never hear the lone hoot owl
As he waits impatiently by your grave...
(approx. 1999)
In Times OF Uncertainty
We live for self amidst the greed
In timeless thought provoked take heed
Swift viable remorse on record
In times of uncertainty
Don't trust something you don't understand
Through a heavy edge proned in trust
With a temperment in a midas touch
From a word spoken in the dark
Has now come to the fullest of light
In given moments of happiness to endless fright
Forget the night!
With no given since of remorse nor shoulder to cry;
Among the evil creatures at night will fly
The times of uncertainty suddenly go by
Although we at times wander as in a nomadic tribe
Yet we will persist through the pain to thank God I'm alive!
Since all the fools sail away
It pays to take pride in homage gain
To humbly bow the knee to pray
Then with these promises we chose to fade away
From the things we shared in promises
The times of uncertainty away in dire need
While the world outside having viscous fangs that bleed
Dripping blood off side to hide;
We really have no reason to run away & hide
The times of uncertainty & want
Marked on a blotted page intact
When the whole world outside is in a rage!
Giving each other a heart attack!
Hot, hot, hot, am I
like the castanet's of a flamingo dancer!
Confining me
basted, laced, wrapping me
how dare you!
I will singe you raw.
Curl the hairs in your nose.
roll back the edges of your life.
Let me go and gentle be
the rosy light of candle
let me go and cheery cheeks I'll make
on children from Nod.
Hot, hot, hot, am I
the truck that gave me my name
it's betraying hose defies my flame
Peel back the paper sheath
of my dismay!
Scrawl!!! scribble!!! melt and dribble me
Fire Engine red am I and freed I will be!
Bull baiter red, bloodshot red
Fire Engine red colors the bloody
and blushing world.
Get your cray on!
is it a waking dream?
is it a waking nightmare?
it be the thoughts of the deserted,
those who have nothing left to lose,
the ones who can go mute without a second thought,
the ones whose dreams overflow with the blood of others,
for they are the ones who see the sinister truth,
the end isn't near its always been there,
every year,
every month,
every day,
every minute,
every second,
for you see the end is not when the world ends,
it is the last day you feel complete,
it is the day you feel worthless,
the day you see only the dark side of things,
the moment you imagine slaying the beast of which caused your pain,
for that is the day the innocence known as your "inner child" is finally slaughtered,
and when your become...,
As the sun shines so bright
The warmth of thy everlasting light
Will shine on you until the dark of night.
Oh, so beautiful,
Yet fragile,
And so breakable.
Find the one that lasts forever
For it is the one, that is,
Ultimately intrinsic in value
And childhood memory,
So that you will remember....
This special gift now becomes
The element that fills that empty space,
That signifies a precious moment in time.
The bond between mother and daughter
Will grow even more
As they have grown together,
Through the love and care,
Support and compassion,
That has blossomed from day one
And will strengthen forever more !
Once a miricale is born
Once inosence grows wild
Once a childs body defiled
Once dreams darken the skys
Once a mothers love was denied
Once a chemicals clouded the brain
once a child goes insain
Once everything is lost with nothing to gain
Once you get sick of the game
once you feel nothing but shame
once again you are to blame
once a devine intervention its clear
Once love has no cost
once peace and love
once it came from above
Sun from the window, shines on my grain
My faded patina, now gleaming with pride
Broken and shabby, after years all alone
Once stored in rafters, so lost and afraid
You have dusted my cobwebs, and glued my rails
There was love in your touch...since the day you unveiled
That hiding place in the damp attic gloom
Long days of neglect, days of disgrace
I've been rescued from loneliness of that dark silent space
A remnant of childhood, from your days long ago
You have restored me to life, to be worthy and new
Do you remember the songs, that she hummed to you?
When she rocked you at midnight, under a velvet moon?
While you dusted my bones, and shined my face
Did your memories fall back to that magical place?
Where the world was your oyster, with childhood charms
When you were held to her breast, in soft loving arms?
Sweet nights spent together when the world was kind?
Now the rhythmic thump of my rails on the floor
Will return all those moments, to reflect on once more
You will feel on your face, and I on my grain
Sun's warming shine through the window glass pane
Wherever you are, that old world, or new...
To be home again, is to belong here with you....

Thanks mom for all you've done
Thanks for my sibling we still have fun
Thanks to all who shared their load
In helping get me down this rough bumpy road.
Mom, I feel there were times you want to
quit; but God made you special,that's why
you didn't...
When dad got sick we didn't know what to
do; You call on God, and he brought us
on through.
Charish your MOM those of you who still
can, She'll always there to give you a hand
you'll stand tall, and strong in all you do....
a word of thanks to MOM is said so few.
Thanks be to god for a MOM like mine
They're so hard to find in these days and time.
Hope is a wide-eyed toddler
happily drooling in anticipation
of once again taking tentative steps,
swaying sideways, staggering,
falling forward,
down on bruised
only to be back and up again
on fumbling tiny feet,
determination undiminished,
innocently undaunted,
toddling tirelessly
again, and
again !
