Premium Member The White Cliffs of Dover

Keeps streaming through my brain like a wafting zephyr over and over!

Yet, the Cliffs themselves were a beacon of hope when things were...

In our little Arkansas Dover town, we never clown around, about the sacrifice
Christmas is about Christ, and his great love, which suffices 

We live and let live, to our charities we give, for in heaven above
It's all about Love, refining one's self, to enjoy in...

Leah, lovely Leah, looking good and well tonight
As you walk the Cliffs of Dover with a faint, but regal, smile
And paint your wistful dreams on the facing's chalky white
The Cliffs of Dover plan to keep you for a while

On seven years...

Premium Member Dover Lights
Near Dover Arkansas can be viewed on most any night 
A puzzle documented as, ‘The Dover city lights‘ 

Folks from many miles around, some even out of town
Eyes fill with wonderment when the lights begin to clown 

I have viewed myself, no proof of science...

Cliffs of Dover Horn Haiku
Cliffs of Dover Horn Haiku

This is kind of about North Korea.

Play death on demand
Thing is getting out of hand
And was poorly planned.

His name was Say Who
Accepted their point of view
Was killed that is true.

So who may be next?
Causing us to be perplexed
Sent message of text.

The wind blew so hard, I fell out of my tree
Not literally my friends, but I did start to pee
Inspired “Yellow Waterfall” by I. P. Dover
A bestseller the whole damn world over
Back to the blow, sure had to duck some debris...

Untitled Dover Beach
Death is the thing with feathered wings
Here on these rocky Dover cliffs
Against which breaks perpetual wave upon wave
    Melting away this earth-stone base
    Atop which rests the sky


Sleepwalkers, walking with lead-laden feet
They dream only of falling, falling
Let us, love,...

Penelope could touch her toes
And quickly would assume that pose
But everyone knows
It isn't her toes
That beckons to so many beaux!...

A Lonley Dover
I am alone, by choice you see. 

No time for romance, it just isn't me. 

Or, maybe it's pain...that I don't long to feel, 

that keeps me alone, and afraid to feel. 

I look at a couple and sometimes think, 

I used to have that,...
