Premium Member Musings On Shakespeare's Sonnet 73
Some parts of life are permanent,
alas, some aspects not:
The morning temperature feels chill;
by midday it grows hot.
The money spent on cell phones'
long-term value which I sought,
Too soon is gone, as more is spent
on upgrades I've since bought.
	
The sun in its celestial course
yields light, black night,...

Premium Member Shivering Squirrel (Winter of '73) For James Marshall Goff
What am i doing
I'm a squirrel in the cold
I should have listened to my mam
And done what i was told

But not me you see
I wanted to go into town
To look for nuts and goodies
Until a strong wind blew me down

I fell into a corner
All white...

Verse 19-21,24

19.  Do you give the horse its strength or clothe its neck with a flowing mane?
20.  Do you make it leap like a locust, striking terror with its proud snorting?
21.  It paws fiercely, rejoicing in its strength, and...

Deputy why don't you leave that cowboy alone?
He ain't doin nothin, he's a long way from home.
Can't you see that Winchester by his saddle horn?
If you know what's good for you, you'll leave him alone.

COPLA 73 INVOCATION: This Bad Guy World

Flit through Khayyam’s magic lantern
Or be nudged on chequer boards by
The Unseen Hand

One thing’s certain dark hands beckon
From behind barred doors – ask not why:
Sealed by No Man

Only an extra-terrestrial
Experiment requires this:
Not Evolution

Would the Maker put on trial
To ensnare...

Premium Member Class of 73 and 74
Three long years ago
I first entered these marbled walls
Now with glory and honor pride
Intervened in me we go down in history
On through the day we celebrate
All those electives
We forget  our enemy's our foes rejoicing now in love
And ignore bitter's hate
As we walk across the...

Sonnet 73: 'The Agon of a Love Thrown Out, Debased'
The agon of a love thrown out, debased, 
Doth wound as deep as deeply ever could 
It cuts across the veins in my pump based 
And turns my heartfelt words to dull, dry wood. 
It is a blinding shadow hid in wit 
That thinks, by...

Premium Member No Title, Yet - 73
I’d never really worried about meeting someone,
But the day that I met Selma, I understood why.
Everything about her told me that she was the one,
So I wasn’t about to let the chance pass me by.

No matter what the result was going to be,
I had to...

This became their routine for the next four days, until on the fourth night they were looking for a clearing in which to ground the deer, when the marker became so bright in front of them they could hardly see, passing right through it, Joulupukki...

Premium Member Being 73
My earth defined days are counting fast,
So if one, by chance, let friendship waste;
For sure, the memories we have will last,
Because past won't change or be erased.

Even though in thought we have retraced,
We'll be viewed as remnants of our past.
Because past and present are interlaced,
And...

Surely God is good,
Surely to Israel,
Surely God is good to Israel, 
Surely God to pure hearts,

Soitenly God-Blessed are the dear-heart folks?
Who shall have attended God?

As for me

I slipped, I stumbled, I hit the ground running to heavens to...
