White Wolf Poet Rhyme

By All Means:

Fancy words for dressed up men,
Simple terms still find their end,
When all is said and said some more,
Whatever the bay, ships come to shore.
A life once lived and lived once more,
Roll in the darkness to blind our fall,
Toss and turn we wriggle about,
Then we claim we've figured it out.
So cast your cares out to the breeze,
And pray for Earth down on your knees.
                      /|\

Freddie Robinson Jr. October 8, 2016 at 12:36 PM Very, very strong poem, Rick. Depth of thought/simplicity of expression. A beautiful combo. Ty for the package deal. Loved it, loved the implicit warning as well. Also, ty for dropping the Templar Knights knowledge on my poem "Inquisition." I did not know that, but I am glad that you told that. Will read more of you work now, so bye bye. Love from a new friend White Wolf October 8, 2016 at 4:19 PM Freddie you are a legend mate! Thanks heaps /|\

Eileen Manassian October 6, 2016 at 8:58 PM "We claim we've figured it out." Do we ever figure it out? I think the serenity comes from knowing that what we do know is enough to make it to the shore. Good write. White Wolf October 6, 2016 at 11:53 PM Thanks Eileen. /|\
