Best Dane Poems
May God place his hand,
In your hand today, Dane Ann,
And see you safely on your way.
May God guide the surgeon’s hands.
May the rest of us pause to pray.
A VETERAN is having surgery today.
So please God, have an angel,
Stand by Dane’s bed today.
this enchantment
it cannot be measured
it cannot be weighed
it cannot be told in time
or days
yet here it is as i'll describe
tis in my riding
tis in my play
tis in my working
each and everyday
my worship has dwindled
my real prayers are sinful
and my god is a genie
who's bottle is covered with sand
my love is the maid
Dane Anne
and thousands of suitors
have ask for her hand
all dressed like princes
in gem's and furs
lined with red and purple silk
armed with jewel encrusted stilleto's
and gold belts
capes with gold and silver
tapestry all with original designs
of family crest
Noblemen and boys
riding every kind of fanciful horse
smooth, brushed and well feed
but their confidence
is all but drained
by shear number of similar suitors
but beauty and prize
will not let them leave
and such as i but in
much lesser degree
of nobility
a commoner, a peasant, a spoiler
one who would pluck the flower
before it was meant to be plucked
one who's eyes have been challenged
beyond lust
one who's faith has come to believe
that this fair maid Dane Anne
belongs to me alone
no man has suffered
as much as i
to be over looked as a suitor
a sore in one's eye
yet no one can care more
or even try
for her hand i give all
and perhaps i'll die
for all my waken moments
find her haunting still
this magic over me
it must be her will
can such beauty cast
such an evil spell
that if thinking for
myself; i cannot tell
or is there a cupid
a godly spell
one that takes my willingness
under his own will
perhaps possessed by a spirit
who through love
can only live
empowered by my weakness
demanding that all i give
but such this state
i am
and complain, i do not
for such a gift is love
that will never be forgot

This POEM is an Example of a New Form of
POETRY Dane-Ann and HGarvey Daniel Esquire are trying to sanction
They call it “ End Line Word “ Poetry Thank-YOU
Dane Ann stood beside me in my darkest hour
A poet with a remarkable power
To alleviate stress in times so sour
Her kindness and generosity empower
In thanks I extend a poetic flower

Dane, “Little Dane” was my precious birth name.
And I dearly loved my grandma who was also named, Dane.
Naturally, at times, by mistake, folks said, “Jane.”
Each time, “Dane…like a Great-Dane” rectification came.
After many years searching genealogy, I discovered.
No boys, but girls had great-grandfather Dane’s name.
Naturally, surprised, proud of the name just the same.
Adding Ann with no E…to me, Dane Ann, was conferred.
Corrections were often needed; I could count on fun, too.
Opportunities for attention ah, rapping at my name’s door.
Over the years, receiving Mr. Dane mail I did not adore.
Laughed loud when I was drafted, no girls, then, I knew.
Now that joke was on me; I reported the mistake.
And before I left for home, a dotted line I did see.
My, the Army sounds great…an education for me!
Events made me shake; the war made me quake.
My name is Dane, not Jane, not “Puddin’-n-tane”
It is not, James, John, or Penny-whinney-jinxsaw!
Not Sally or Sue, but a life-name with no flaw.
Easy to spell; it's for boys, and for me, D-A-N-E, Dane.

An acrostic poem written in “Enclosed Rhyme”
Stars are but pores in the seams of heaven
From which loved ones smile down on us
Showing us they are happy, at peace
For you, dear Dane Ann, I buy a special star
The radiance of a beautiful soul
Who walked this Earth with joy and love
I give to you the star “Jeanette”
A woman like you who lit a spiritual path
And gave comfort and friendship willingly
Her star will cast blessings on your home
The light will lead you through dark times
A steadfast ray of hope and inspiration
This is what Jeanette gave to me
In memory I choose to share her brilliance
To guide you on your journey through life
*Entry for PD's contest
The year 2000 about to done with,
and only the Atlantic Ocean divides us.
Now around me the snow falls.
If I could see you in months,
I shall turn the months in snowballs.
All January will sever me,
A step more- February will brush,
March will bring you closer,
Spring will remind me of you,
May-wreaths will bind me,
and...Denmark not far away in June.
Oh, How would it be?
After such a long wait,
How would I greet thee?
But Alas!My boat was on a smooth sail in June
Undaunted to find the land
to sow the seeds,
but missed a little rain.
Unlike Columbus,
dolefully sailed back.
What was to turn to reality
became a distant dream.
That dream stays with me
altering the colour of emotions.
The love remains well,
The rest is unsavory.
Indeed misery outlives the joy
Denmark remains a distant dream.

Contest: Many Miles Away by Roger Horsch
The wind is quite blustery on our short walk to grandmaws
Hankering to have some chocolate pie and dressing
And see the new baby boy!
Never get to spend much time with the family lately
Kiss 'em all and get a hug
Stress out over all the germs we shared
GOD grant us blessings all the days of our lives
IF the heartburn doesn't kill me tonight, praise Jesus
Value of family --priceless$$
If brother can hobble he will make it ok
Next year will be better
God grant brother a new hip by Christmas
Drop off some new teeth for granny
Ann, she needs to chew her food good
You're faithful and just to grant our needs!
Sorry For The Danettes
by Rick Rucker
I'm so sorry, neighbor Sun,
For what my little dog has done!
I don't see how it could even happen, that a dog that has to jump to pee,
Could impregnate a dog that, when standing, is five foot three!
Analyzing the "attack,"
Your dog must have been on her back,
Egging poor little Heinrick on,
Once started, I'm sure, he was gone!
Still, you must admit,
That they are quite a hit,
With all the local brats,
Who use them to chase the cats!
At two feet long, and legs real small,
They can hide behind a soccer ball!
Jumping out, running like the wind,
Those once-fat cats, are much more thinned.
Please accept my apology,
For Heinrick's lesson in Impossible Biology!
a new bike for dane
he has been such a trooper
his burns are healing
A high-strung duck on a ranch up in Maine
is best pals with a wistful Great Dane
One goes quack! Quack! Quack!
while the other lays back
Their friendship is hard to is hard to explain

Wayne a Great Dane,
from a princely court
was playing in the courtyard.
He rolled and fell short
in the castle moat.
A good sport
he was. With laughter roar
from the royal court;
out his nose water he snorted.

I know this story is silly
but it's really very true
I have a Chihuahua named Brutis
but for short I call him Bru
With him I'm never lonely
because he stays right by my side
No noise nor bad weather or anything
could make him run and hide
In fact he thinks he is my watchdog
though he stands only five inches high
His chest puffs up and his ears pull back
if a stranger comes nearby
Now I wouldn't say he's spoiled
okay maybe just a little bit
He dresses in the latest styles
some of them custom fit
Some folks say I've gone to far
that some thing is just not right
But all I know is that I've gotta go
because it's time to kiss him goodnight
Everyday is your birthday
and a holiday,
your life and time... worth
more than a day,
each moment marks the
birth of great memories,
of a great mother
unlocking matchless
legacies.
Happy birthday to a star
that shines all day,
Special wishes of love on
this precious day!
For me, you mean more
than I can say.
You are a key that opens
paradise'... way.
For you, this birthday
ought to be a sparkling sun
Overriding all the other
shining stars.
For me, your birthday is
another occasion
to show you God's love
with purest passion!
I wished to present you a
lot of flowers, but none of
them is as beautiful, as
your heart.
I wanted to paint your
portrait with a super star,
but it can't be compared to
your awesome art,
Soar to the skies, snug the
moonlight,
blow beautiful balloons,
give them flight.
Hold unto your allure and
God's golden grains,
on this happy day, count
your great gain.
Happy Birthday great
friend, mother and mentor
Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen.
With love
