As you walk the Cliffs of Dover with a faint, but regal, smile
And paint your wistful dreams on the facing's chalky white

Dover LightsNear Dover Arkansas can be viewed on most any night
A puzzle documented as, ‘The Dover city lights‘

Cliffs of Dover Horn HaikuCliffs 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.

Here on these rocky Dover cliffs
Against which breaks perpetual wave upon wave
Melting away this earth-stone base
Atop which rests the sky

They dream only of falling, falling
Let us, love,...

And quickly would assume that pose
But everyone knows

That beckons to so many beaux!...

A Lonley DoverI 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,...
