Twilight Humor: I Wish I Can Lighten Up In Such Heavy Rain!
by
Suzy Cohan Jolie
http://pandaexpressionbetweenbeijing.blogspot.com/2012/06/twilight-humor-i-wish-i-can-lighten-up.html

Dark images keep appearing in my head,
I wish I can shake off that,
How sad when youth is buried in sacrifice,
and love is turned into obligations,
You shall let me off the matter,
I don't mind to start from zero,
and pave my way to see joy,
I'm miserable with GAPS in between...

Taylor Jokes: Marriage Is NO Jokes, But Serious Business! Man, Please Make Your Decision, You Can Not Have Both!
by
Jaymie Noha Pickens
http://mathematicianscandopoetrytoo.blogspot.com/2012/06/taylor-jokes-marriage-is-no-jokes-but.html

It's an insult to share love with
someone full of hostility,
How harmful to me when you betray me,
spending years honoring a heartless body,
and the consequence continues,
You give my money, my trust, my kids,
and my love to my worst enemy,
Oh, God Bless, don't you agree
that our marriage is done?

Unspeakable stress, painful thoughts hang around,
Jesus, you know the truth,
and you know the right from wrong,
I know you will do something to correct the wrong
when the time is up,
But, please give me peace, strength,
and light so that I can breathe...
Thanks, I do believe the divine Power above,
Amen!

Pen Names and Online Images shall NOT Be Used To Conduct Blog Bully, or HuRt! Y Blogging? Ode To Dr. Seuss
by
Minn Liao Romney
http://sciencelearningis.blogspot.com/2012/06/pen-names-and-online-images-shall-not.html

When blogging becomes popular like today,
pen names pop up like popcorn,
proper motivation includes creative writing,
time passing, record keeping, or friendship
building...when bloggers blog for fun,
everything becomes benign, it's sad reality
that some folks conduct blog bully,
furthermore, they illegally write to attack
and hurt... Stop misusing your pen name Today!

Every day the whole year through,
I feel grateful for you,
You're sharp and cool,
You make home the beautiful school.

You always listen and share;
You're there whenever you're needed.
Because you care,
Odds are defeated.
.
Dad, you're understood and adored,
You shall always know,
My love will continue to grow,
Happy Fathers’ Day!

Father, You Are My Guiding Star!
by
Sheng THE Wu
http://wushengtomhuiyanatevanstonillinois.blogspot.com/2012/06/father-you-are-my-guiding-star.html


Dad, I remember when I skinned my knee,
You chased away my tears;
If things were hard in school for me,
You helped me through my fears.
When I was old enough to drive a car,
You patiently taught me how;
Father, You are my guiding star;
You cared then, and you still care now.

No Bullying Is Welcome! Please Add Humor To Your Daily Agenda To Enable Happiness!
by
Jiahong Wu
http://beijingoperajinjuhouseatdallastexas.blogspot.com/2012/06/no-bullying-is-welcome-please-add-humor.html

Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior
among children, or adults
involving real perceived power
imbalance. The behavior is negatively
motivated, and has the potential to
be repeated. Bullying includes actions
of making threats, spreading rumors,
plotting accidents hurting someone
physically or verbally, excluding
the victim from being effective on purpose.
Bullying is opposite of peace making.

2435377217,
This number connects south Korea and North America,
Last time I dialed an additional 7 accidentally,
My call connected to a Korean family,
Thanks for giving me the chance to talk on the phone,
The ringing sounds like a love song,
So far I’m making home good,
The thoughtfulness you show is understood.

The Queen of Mathematics Is Number Theory: Starting With Elementary Tricks!

http://thenoiselesscuckooclock.wordpress.com/2012/06/06/the-queen-of-mathematics-is-number-theory-starting-with-elementary-tricks/

I love number theory in math,
Here is one theory you shall know,
Let's see how numbers gamble from head to toe:
1, 2, 3 is for counting,
1+2+3 = I+R+S= IRS
1+5 = You+Who = Ya+hoo
4+2 = Si+Er = Si'Er = Sears
3+3 = Sun+Son = SunSong = Small Mountains = Hills

The Way Love Makes Peace In Marriage Is Too Complex To Be Understood, By Ya' at All!
by
Jacobean Belle Mao
http://itistimetothinkformyself.blogspot.com/2012/06/way-love-makes-peace-in-marriage-is-too.html

True love is sacred flame
that burns eternally,
And none can dim its glow
Or change its destiny.
True love speaks in tender tones
hearing with gentle ear,
True love conquers fear.
True love makes no harsh demands
It neither rules nor binds,
And true love holds with gentle hands
The hearts that it entwines.

April 10, 2012: On US!
by
Aya Wilson
http://actionsspeaklouderitaly.blogspot.com/2012/06/april-10-2012-on-us.html

Cutting the neighborhood,
Dawn scouring our faces,
Wind blowing your words away,
I began to walk before
hitting Matt Holiday Baseball Field,
You passed me and the "Deer Xing" sign
on Western Road, emptiness
buoyed when I think of days
without you, of morning
without your smell, of dinner
without your chopsticks,
your salty skin...

and he called at 2pm, that’s 4am, June 9
In Seoul, exactly 14 hours of time difference,
Justin got new pair of glasses for his eyes,
He was excited, and we hang up after 7.5 minutes.
