This Blog Has Moved!

      Poetry Perfected has moved!


             Please visit my new site!




I'm excited to make this move, and know that it will take some time to make the new site "better", but now that I am getting comfortable with sharing my poetry, I'd like to do it on a blog that I "love". 

I moved this blog because I really like the WordPress platform better than this one (I love it), since my other blog, Lorraine Reguly's Life is on WordPress and I'm more familiar with it! 


I hope you check out both sites, and will continue to be a reader of my poetry. I'd appreciate it if you'd follow my new blog, too!


I also hope you leave comments for me on my new blog; I love comments! And there's no CAPTCHAs on WordPress! YAY!


Thanks for expressing an interest in my poetry. See you soon!

Happy 44 Years of Marriage, Mom and Dad!



On July 12, 2013, my whole family got together and took my parents out for dinner for their 44th wedding anniversary. In attendance were: my parents, my brother and his girlfriend, my sister and two of her three kids, my son, and yours truly, me. We had Chinese food for dinner; we went to China House, an all-you-can-eat buffet. It was great! We then all went to Mom and Dad's house and had cake and ice-cream for dessert. I made and decorated a carrot cake, with cream-cheese icing. My sister does not like carrot cake, and so the bottom-left piece of cake had been cut out and replaced with icing. (That's why the cake looks funny!) 


I wrote a poem for them, too. Here it is:


Not too many people’s parents stay together for 44 years of marriage
- most guys split when they see a baby carriage!
But Dad loved you, Mom, and wanted a family,
And he chose you, of all women, to marry.


And together you stayed for, now, 44 years
Throughout good times and bad times, throughout happiness and tears.
Together, a total of 3 children you had and raised,
And for what we put you through, you should both be praised!


Some people may wonder what your secret is
- and I’ve included this in here just for fun,
Since your go-to response to this question is always
“Because I don’t have a gun!”


When you say this we know you’re just kidding and joking around,
Because, after all, Mother, we know it was our father, for a husband, you found.
You both must have loved each other
- and obviously, still do-


Because you’ve remained together all this time,
ever since, 44 years ago, you both said “I do”.
So on this day that you celebrate 44 years of being together,
Let me say that all of us wish you the best, and hope you stay together forever!

Happy Anniversary, Mom + Dad!

goldfish are swimming
in the toilet bowl water
going down the drain

In keeping with my promise, here are today's poems; tomorrow I will post Haiku Poetry - Part 5!




ink flows from my pen
fingers grasp the nubby tip
creating poetry


the crack pipe is hot
thumbs calloused from the lighter
drugs melting my brain



soft stuffed animals
and bumper pads line the crib
but baby's stillborn



As always, I LOVE getting comments, and will reply to each one that is left for me.
