Dutch Hill ParkI took a walk down Columbia Street
Back to the place where we used to meet
Where we played as kids until after dark
And hung out together up at Dutch Hill Park
Although alone, I could hear the sound
Of laughter coming from the merry go round
Sometimes we'd meet...

Dutch Wedding Day DessertMany many years ago
When I was very small
We attended a wedding in Amsterdam
This memory I recall
Jan and Astrid had got married
Balloons decorated the wedding hall
Wedding favours were scattered on the table …
Sugared almonds, I could have eaten them all!
The wedding breakfast was served
We had all...

Dutch Girl
Dutch Girl
By Rick Rucker
Was the Sky always this Blue?
Or just since I met You?
And the Grass, is it the standard Green?
Have I always felt this Serene?
The reason that I don’t know:
I can’t remember that long ago!
You have cleared my memory slate,
Not a memory, ‘fore our...

The Dutch Is My FatherWhen still a child
I learned that plantation colony was belonging
to my father, the one who brought my mother
from the Dutch East Indies,
and the one whom he loved full in rage.
I was a small *****, beautiful, fat, and disabled,
helping her as far as the...

Good Friday Gratitude To Settlers: Especially British and DutchGood Friday Gratitude to Settlers
Columbus gave it lip service
He loved the Virgin Mary
Almost knew Jesus Christ
Could not have had the Holy Spirit Fire
Today, or any hour of night and day,
Brian Houston’s Ministry covers the Globe
With youth singing out heart and soul
To Christ, though disguised in...

Double DutchDuring the past weeks I’ve been having mental leaks,
Over situations
Can’t force anyone to eat,
I even had to question my manhood
It was too easy for me to weep,
Struggling with extreme discomfort
It’s like having sores under my feet.
Tried very hard but the willingness couldn’t meet,
And now I’m...

Did Call Pennsylvania DutchDid Call Pennsylvania Dutch
When old while walking needed crutch
And in every room could see a hutch;
Bridges going over water
With walls on long border;
So did call all of them Pennsylvania Dutch.

Dutch Whispers At MidnightSheltered beneath her veil of tears,
Amsterdam calls to my heart.
She follows me
through golden dreams and opiate sleep
to tempt me away from the true path in.
She is the wind on the water
filling my sails
with a quiver as soft as a sigh.
For no words
were ever quite so...

Dutch HospitalityIn the city of Hoorn,
On a cobblestone street,
We were taken as guests
So some locals we'd meet.
It was charming, the house,
And the ceilings did soar;
There were children and cats
But much more was in store.
For the hostess' dad
Brought us each out, with pride,
Quite a big slab of...
