Three Word Wednesday - Glare, luster, threat
Walk the TalkThe leaves begin turning
lifted into a frenzy of
autumn's call
My stomach begins churning
nervous energy building
with autumn's call
The fundraising begins slowly
banner starts to glare
with autumns call
Recession is still a threat
stealing away dreams
in autumns call
The luster of my resolve dims
fears of rejection sways
with autumns call
Knowing the horrors of my cause
I must raise my torch higher
for autumn calls
I find it very uncomfortable to fund raise even though it's to help others and I have the disease. Autumn is calling and I must get rolling despite the recession. Tammy's Warriors will rise up again on October 17th. See side bar to join us, even if it's just to walk for a good cause.

I am not very good at fund raising unless it involves making posters or stuffing envelopes. Just don't like to ask people for something I guess.
Sorry, Tammy, Wordpress saw fund raising and dumped you in teh spam folder.
But a great, honest post.
GO Tammy, GO!!! I'll be there in spirit and I'll send in some $$$$$$$$!!! I LOVE YOU!!! I am proud to be a Tammy Warrior!
Good luck, and God bless you!
I'm the same way...I think it's the introvert in me! I wish you much luck, though; it's obviously a wonderful and worthwhile cause.
And yes the warriors would fight for autumn calls.
Good luck to you dear.
I am sorry my baby

I understand totally...but you can do it and I cannot imagine anyone turning you down!

I like the poem. Honestly.
Fundraising is about giving people the choice to make a statement and/or an impact. Resist the urge to say, "Even $5 is OK! Every bit helps!" Yes, every bit helps, but don't give people the easy out. Fundraising is not about forcing people to do something they don't want to do. It's about giving them the power to become more noble. It's about giving them the opportunity to discover their own goodness and generosity. Tell them your story and why it's important to you. They will respond.
Don't be shy. Putting your poetry out for public scrutiny is, I think, a far more courageous act than fundraising. You've got the courage. Now go give those people one more chance to be good. Most will appreciate it.
I like your use of repetition in this poem.
Nicely written poem! Fundraising is not something I could do, but I admire those who can. It does make a difference! Go, Tammy, Go!
