Mission Statement for the World of Words by Elias Tobias

As I get back into the corporate world, new things are being introduced, and trainings use mission statements to create a company culture.  So I decided to try it with this enterprise. The World of Words by Elias Tobias is dedicated to entertain and inform its world-wide audience with meaningful creative poetry, short stories, articles, and photography.  The poetry blog will establish many opportunities for the readers to interact and download material at no cost so they can become an important part of the web site.

Spring Wildflower Portfolio to be presented

This month will feature this year’s crop of Indiana wildflower photographs.  Each photo will be sized to fit the page post, however, by clicking on the photo, the user will get a larger version which can easily be downloaded for free.  It is requested that any public use of these photos be credited to Mike Hall and the World of Words by Elias Tobias.  Hope you enjoy these pictures.

Alice Cooper said is best when he sang the song, “School’s Out for Summer.”  July is here, and its time to do things that you do not do while school is going on, like go on vacations and travel or have more time with your friends - all kinds of agenda changes.

This is the Summer of Fun at the World of Words by Elias Tobias World of Words.  Words and photos will illustrate this theme, and readers are invited to send their summer snapshots via e-mail with basic caption information, and published with the new Summer Snapshots logo at contact(at)eliastobias(dot)net.  Just have a Polaroid or a film camera?  Photos can be put on a CD or prints can be scanned. Also any summer videos sent to YouTube can be promoted on this Web blog with the appropriate Internet link.  Of course, all photos should be of publishable content and quality, as determined by the blog management.

“Celebration” Theme for July
The theme of poetry for the month of July 2010 is “Celebration” for all daily posts, including the Poem of the     Month below. This celebration is not limited to the obvious national anniversary of the creation of the United States.  This is a personal celebration of those who work to accomplish their family, personal or professional goals in small daily steps, for a journey of 1,000 miles begins with the first steps.  In times of financial recovery, a change in one person’s life has a ripple effect for many others associated with that person. Let’s celebrate.
 Poem of the Month

Goals in my Pocket

I have goals in my pocket,
and my dreams in my head.
I’ve got food on the table
and a roof over my bed.
All this is not enough for me.
I don’t like to live day to day,
not knowing what my future will be.
There has to be a better way.

I have goals in my pocket,
and my dreams in my head.
I’ve got food on the table
and a roof over my bed.
I need to get a full-time job,
and a car to get me around.
Next I need a girl friend who
will take me to town.

I have goals in my pocket,
and my dreams in my head.
I’ve got food on the table
and a roof over my bed.
I’m praying to the Lord.
Jesus, I need your help.
It m doing all I can now
to make a name for myself.

I have goals in my pocket,
and my dreams in my head.
I’ve got food on the table
and a roof over my bed.
I have the heat on In this house,
but it ’s really not a home.
I need the comfort of a lover.
I don’t like living alone.

I have goals in my pocket,
and my dreams in my head.
I’ve got food on the table
and a roof over my bed.
I don’t want to be different,
I just want to be like the rest
of the people who work hard
every day to be their very best.
I have goals in my pocket,

I have goals in my pocket,
and my dreams in my head.
I’ve got food on the table
and a roof over my bed.
I have goals in my pocket,
and my dreams in my head.
I’ve got food on the table
and a roof over my bed.
