“Lovers and Lunches!”
( A New Year’s Eve poem)
by Amalia E. (Amy) Zents


Let us count our blessings instead of our years!
For today’s like any other, full of laughter, full of tears.
Unlike dogs, we humans, think it’s special and rare:
Why must we mark our calenders, with something not there?
Any day that marks the end of another doesn’t matter.
So it may be New Year's Eve, does it add to our platter?
The days, weeks, and months and years will surely pass.
And one day we shall all find ourselves beneath the grass.
So let us bind our memories up in bundles and bunches
With fond remembrances of all our lovers, and lunches.
Will life be measured sweetly, or by clocks filled with hate?
For day, month and years will never stop or wait.
They just keep rolling on, passing year after year,
Never caring, never wondering, whether we will still be here!

"The path of the Merry" by Amalia E.(Amy) Zents 12/31/12

"The path of the Merry"
A poem in the Style of Shakespeare by Amalia E. (Amy) Zents


To mind the future is to court discontent,
So we must deign to make the present pleasant,
Procrastination is loss for the lazy dreamer,
For life does not ask for a villainous schemer.
Everywhere there is work, but hardly those who will go,
Desire without effort is keen, but always answers no!
So to attend to what is our necessity,  it is vital we be free;
Unencumbered, unburdened, and simplified like the sea.
Not held back by useless trappings,
Nor in fear of cruel strappings,
Not in worries weighted down,
Nor concerned by someone's frown.
Not bogged down or cloaked in fear,
But gathering round those to us dear.
So, let us be good and worthy of each day,
For the  path of the merry is the only way!

"Hope you're safe and warm, and comfy tonight,
Hope you're feeling full, and your spirit is bright.
Hope you're feeling loved, and have joy and peace galore,
Hope you'll soon be getting all the things you're wishing for!"

"Journaling" by Amalia (Amy) E. Zents 12/24/2012

                                                               "Journaling"

by Amalia (Amy) E. Zents 12/24/2012

Giving thanks in kind reflection,

Dreaming of a new direction,

I am home with you dear friend,

Tho' I'm oft undisciplin'd.

I waste my hours idly scheming,

Jotting plans of perfect cleaning,

Thoughts of better living wages,

Fill up lots of journal pages.

Wanting more than current glory,

Searching for a better story,

Crowded pages are revealing,

Every thought and ache I'm feeling.

"Where Does my Poetry Come From?" by Amalia (Amy) E. Zents

"Where Does my Poetry Come From?"
 by Amalia (Amy) E. Zents

"Where does my poetry come from?
It's found here at home,
In the warp and weft of life,
In the fabric of each bone,
In the heart of each moment
In the daily ebb and flow,
In the passage of time,
It's made to blossom and grow.
When inspiration processed
Sounds its bell clear and steady,
And tells me,
"Ta Da! Your poem is ready!"

"Servant Joy," by Amalia E. Zents copyright 12/2012

"Servant Joy," by Amalia E. Zents 
(Dedicated to the victims of the Newtown, Connecticut elementary school shooting )

"A world of beauty lies within us.
What our minds believe our hearts will also embrace.
Never forget to remember thy place.
In the home you are the servant of your family.
In the workplace you're the servant of your customer.
It is beautiful to be a giver.
It is right to share your light.
Truth comes from the generous soul.
It makes us feel safe and helps us be whole."

Love, peace, beauty and joy!

My 5th Wedding Anniversary Poem for my Husband James

“5th Wedding Anniversary Poem”
by Amy Zents for James Zents

I’d like to tell you a little story
It’s about a man that I love
He’s got a broad smile
And fancy brown eyes
With lashes that wave at me
whenever he blinks

I’d like to brag about my lover
I’m glad that we’re together
He’s with me every day
And eats with me in bed
And helps me keep our two dogs
off our tray.

Love is more than an amusement
It’s a commitment to each other
A promise of a happy destination
That is found in the journey.
On our 5th wedding anniversary
Where the gift is wood
May our love grow like the mighty oak tree
As our powerful love behaves like the
tiny acorn who continues to grow as it stands its ground.
