Old Promises 2019
Bright young things
the class of 2019
Tories with their fresh rosettes
they said they could level up the Red Wall
now bide their time to forgotten promises
in their brazen suites
lost chance saloon in a cavalier fashion
ill affording suffragette society
look at them in their run in
Labour ushers a bravo return,
The Reform party
picks up on the crumbs
of discontent

My 2019 Vacation
Vacation 2019 --- wondrous indeed
From regular work routine, joyously freed
Toward fruitful clan reunion I did heed
Cognizant that God blesses heritage-breed.
Precious with every significant feature
Marked by program revealing tribal culture
Such meeting of warm and sweet kindness’ posture
Made me grateful for belongingness-gesture.
Entrusted to share Gospel of Christ* with zest
I prepared along prayer to do my best
Knowing that

Richard T Barden 1926 - 2019
(The toast I wrote for Dad)
Toward the roses with his honor
Their peaked thorns of sacrifice
To those steeds he left unbroken
And the chimes a-pealing thrice
To the statues still in marbled earth
Countless draughts thus never spilt
To that knight left rusting in the rain
The steadfast bridges that he built
To the jester in his dancing court
The somber conscript left

2019 Remembering the Crows
Early mornings, bright ice blues as life wakens
birds and squirrels scratching for seeds and nuts
black crows pound at the tree or wait for cars to drive by
crushing the hardest nuts clever crows
now winter’s broken their little dance, the nuts are gone
and three black crows complain each early morning
where they remain

SEPTEMBER 19, 2019
We were deep in the forest
on our way to Tupper Lake
It was an early fall morning full of
sunshine and song from a beautiful
Spanish singer whose soulful caress
can cause a tearful recognition that
it’s a joy to be alive!
North of Long Lake
the vistas opened up to the shimmering
bright colors of the Adirondack reserve,
the deep vivid

The Effects of the 2019 Pandemic
The Effects of the 2019 Pandemic
According to reports from the CDC,
A mysterious virus has invaded our country.
COVID –19 is the name it’s been given,
Derived from its source, and the year of it's discovery!
Questions all about, as to what, when, where, why and how?
Hospitals overcrowded, pondering, what do we do now?
Epidemiologists working feverously, trying to understand,
This

English 101 Freshman Year 2019
Sandra is early
She creeps in
sits in the last seat in the back
her head is down
she wants no one to see her
luckily no one ever does
Chuck is loud and proud
coming in surrounded by his posse
They also march to the back
One yells at Sandra to move
She moves to the last chair
without speaking or lifting her head

March 30, 2019
March 30th of last year, was on a Saturday.
The life I knew was about to change, in such a major way.
I was 45 and had never seen someone take their final breath.
I wanted nothing to do with the dark cold subject of death.
I had taken some Red Cross classes on

Veteran's Day 2019
Thank You doesn't seem like enough,
When referring to this day.
In fact I doubt there is a phrase,
Deserving enough to say...
You thoughtlessly take up arms,
To defend our liberty.
Not thinking twice- Risking life,
For people like you and me.
Leaving family and friends behind,
You go to do what you do.
And

Summer talk has stopped sigh - free and easy days, parties and beach trips are over. Now attention turns to the fall and the start of school and the “2019 Social Season.”
Fall begins tonight with a social (a very formal dress party) and the night

2019
2019 worse year of all time
I loss my power, love, respect
For myself. As I pleased another
Man he beat me until I was
Worthless.
2019 was my worse year I
Found out love has many
Forms. I was already a victim
Of rape now domestic violence
Already feel like giving up.
2019 taught me my weakness
Taught me my

5th June 2019: Death Is Lovely
Today is a good day,
Thousands dying but its still a good day
I love how cruel he is, its so hidden but pure
Yet,you should've seen me years ago
The tears streamed like they had a fate
I can't feel my soul I wonder how.
Do you like what you see?
My sister pray on her knees
That is her hardest
