Around The Bend
Around The Bend Up the road I see it bend Where my feet So surely send A body hurled Towards its end Up around the bend From death My lips do chap To watch the cat So closely nap I, the mouse Who’s come to tap It sure to wake And prowl again But however unaware With no thought Of misplaced care A shadow did declare Its faith Below the moon For time wore down The wishes Like the...

oh to sleep the night away without dreams of yesterday drifting quiet through the years avoiding the knives and spears cast by those in jealous rage lost in battles that they wage walking into morning's light freed from demons of the night turning...

Is Around the Bend
Is Around the Bend When I write poems hope you find a few That are always loved and forever do With words appropriate for anything Happiness is there and tears may bring. Much joy is what everyone will seek And searched for but times are bleak Good things in poems want to find Leave all of the bad things behind. Will be cheerful each...

Around the Bend
The icicles have melted; The snow drifts lost some height. We took a walk this afternoon To bask in late-day light. My jacket was unbuttoned; I left my scarf behind. The birds were chirping gaily For there'd soon be worms to find. It felt not like a respite But more like a proper end As we bid farewell to winter Knowing spring's around the bend....

Down Around the Bend
The long nights And even harder days Left rigid impressions Beside the eyes on my face It's a measurement of time Between distance of space For a life spent Like I was in a race Not one spent wisely Never at an easy pace Instead I was foolish And ran it with haste Kinda like you would...

Around the Bend
Around the bend, up a tiny knoll A lonely one walks, bewildered And uncertain of their goal Can you walk a little faster Offer shaking of their hand? Mitigating hardship, Say you understand? When parting at the next bend They’ll feel secure and brave Walking with firmer, lighter step For the friendship that you gave. They don’t have to know, you see That you were bewildered too And...

Christmas Time's Around the Bend
The time has come to string the lights and decorate the tree, Fix-up the barn an' house a mite for all the folks to see, Cause Christmas time's around the bend, an' Santa's underway A-makin' toys for girls an' boys, an' gifts to fill his sleigh. The widder Jones, from down the road, her cook-stove's bellerin' smoke, She makes tamales...
