Best Buddies Poems

Twice a month on our tiny little Isle
A group of heroes go that extra mile
Wearing protective clothing they clean the beach
Removing vast amounts of rubbish within their reach
Plastic bottles, fast food containers and tins
Items tossed away so thoughtlessly – it’s a sin
So many marine animals...

Christmas of my tenth year brought a four-ten shotgun.
No longer a tag-along kid
Assaulting the deep drifts struggling to keep up,
But a real hunting buddy.

First rule was to memorize the ten commandments of gun safety.
I labored with those rules.
Would we ever really go hunting?
We would go...

It's happy reunion when old friends meet
                     Their faces glow and it is easy to forget the clock

The door to the bookstore creaks complaining
                               Books for new and old customers

Resting there, beneath the sod,
Lie two young, bosom friends.
They shared the joys and toils of life,
From childhood, down in Texas,
To this grassy knoll where their story ends.
                  ...

The drovers' hearts were beating fast
When our grueling drive was done.
They'd had their fill of dust and beans,
And the only thing they wanted now,
Was a long, hot bath, and some cow town fun.

I’m sitting silently listening to the swoosh swoosh of the sea
Children paddle in icy sapphire water, so young and carefree
Their screams of innocent laughter are ringing in my ear
I reminisce of my childhood and dream of yesteryear

Of days before computers and the electronic age
Mobile phones...

Weather looked upon not contemplating
Shores forgot, wisped away to beaches anew
This place that place, sea of blue
Set close not too far
voices in the wind here we are
Rods set tall and straight here it is 
we will wait
Lines tightened, rods a bent
fresh bait with old scent
Slicks...

Billy never could remember,
At least that's what he said,
Just what it was that set him off-- 
That made him pull the pistol,
And shoot his lifelong buddy, dead.

Buddies forever,
is what he promised me.
I was only 10 years old,
He’d be here for eternity.

My buddy was my grandpa,
we’d work down on the farm.
My buddy was a good friend,
he’d keep me safe from harm.

But you see, my buddy, he was sick,
not just with a cold...

Bestest Buddies
_____________________
Bengie Bear, 
went to town
had a broom
and wore a crown.

His turtle buddy,
Gibbie Grape
had some lettuce
and wore a cape.

Together always,
laughs and giggles
fishing then eating
honey and pickles.

The very bestest of buddies,
honest and caring
preparing the world
for more loving and sharing.

The winter chill won’t keep close friends
from having fun together.
They play, then rest throughout the day
regardless of the weather.

Bob talks, and Bud meows and purrs;       
they love communicating.  
When Bob starts school, each afternoon
at home Bud will be...

Pour a shot for me, pour a shot for you.
Swallow down, so quick is the liqueur.
You recoil in pleasure, it tastes good.
Set it up again, time to put up another two.

You think about forgetting the pain,
But your just making it all worse.
Slowly, slowly the picture...
