RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Consequences of laughter hiding within are spasmodic,
unpredictable, delightful and full of goodness.

Smiling contentedly at those around, who are caught
...

Young and old gathering at the center,
trying to give purpose and love to their children.
Taking steps to encourage life gives them the best
of natural education and hope.

Not a care in the world, looking forward to being chosen as an ornament on someone's dinner table.
Or not.

Twisting and shouting, taking a swing around the room, enjoying the attention being given him as he dirty dances to the rhythms of a country band.
Alleviating pockets of energy through the dancing of fabulous moves, striving for the best of everything in life's musical motions, asleep

wisdom and gentle caring.
...

Snowboarding down mountainsides, reveling in the speed
as snow flies around me.
Loving the exhilaration, and cold wind racing across
my face, feeling alive inside and out.
