Best Equipment Poems
I feel quiet; most serene-
the rage that swells in me subsides...
Limpid dreams and silent streams
(Eden scenes and sleepy tides)
Tranquil themes, untroubled times-
patient, placid, peaceful Minds.
Unruffled rest, sedated crest;
Reconciled determined Rhymes
fill my brain with calming cleanse;
focused thoughts through laser lens.
Cool, collected directed pens-
From the Heart my poems stem.
The Exercise Equipment
By Elton Camp
The workout machine for which I paid a high price
Sitting in the store, looked like it would work nice
So I took it home and then set it up in the den
I used it twice, but after never touched it again
Because I found that it made me sweaty & sore
After learning that, I didn’t use the thing anymore
For a few months, I used it as a handy coat rack
I’d had it far too long for the store to take back
My wife had a yard sale scheduled for the spring
She said, “Why don’t you get rid of that thing?”
So I learned that intentions don’t do any good
For I failed to use the machine the way I should
I doubt that I am the only one to waste that way
I’m going to check yard sales and see some day

swollen ego
immense pride
huge arrogance,
your notoriety violence
nothing you can take
when you leave here....
From here to beyond...
Even if that were the case,

there is no place or space... !
