The Soldier's Way
When my son was small he and his friends loved to play marines
A brown eyed soldier dressed up in his helmet and his jeans
I asked him why he always died whenever they would play
He just said “I saved my friends, ‘cause that’s the soldier’s way”

As...

Kill the Silent One

(Silent Killer)


He has invaded, unseen
Lurking and silent
Evil destroying one and all
From cell to cell
Crawling underneath
Leaching blood and soul
Smiles are murdered
Futures destroyed
Families ruined
The silent one is a killer
Who must be killed

The order has been given
Command centre now on full alert
Maps perused and studied
Strategies...

Men
We're grouped together ready to party 
just standing around waiting for the coach.
Not a stag do exactly, just us men.
Before you ask, it wasn't fancy dress.
A football Friday night out for a drink,
one or two, possibly looking for sex. 
 
I certainly wasn't looking for...

The Debutant Sun
ExploreWriteThe Debutant Sun
The sun was in full dress, 
A golden beauty, 
Wearing a bright red tiara.
She spread her dress like
A debutant over the clear
Blue ocean, then with grace, 
Sprinkled sunbeams
That glistened, riding the
Waves...
We bathed in the warmth of her smile
Collected sea shells as tangible
Treasures to...

Monk's shaved pate
thick pelt around edge
leans over book

                       leans over book above river
reciting lines, reading scriptures, preparing
first for his personal salvation, then
for those...

Grace Harbour
Grace Harbour
First into Grace Harbour
Me in classic sailboat
At anchor alone
In Desolation Sound
Where silence reveals the place
And the world is bigger
Because I can hear its’ vastness
It’s Bioacoustic diversity
Seals surface, gulls dive, water ripples.
A breeze in a cedar whispers
The buzz of a bumblebee.
The distant whistle of an...

Premium Member A Great Morn's Show
As morn's sun cracks the horizon
Casting pink Easter dress
Redbud stands with newly acquired
Full green hair, I am blessed

The fireball sun floats on pink clouds
Like China doll surrounded
By full dress and stiff crinoline
God's beauty compounded

As the roosters steadily crow
Song birds sing very close
A new song I...

This Happy Memory

Spotted the moon out the window
and couldn't get outside quick enough.
I had always loved the moon's glow.
I used to think if I just huff
it would follow me in a bluff;
memories when I was a child.
The stars have always in a wild
way kind of...

Autumn Colors
AUTUMN    COLORS


Trees, and endless squadrons of their fellows,       
In full dress with their medals, reds and yellows: 
An army in bronze and topaz uniform,
Ready and waiting for orders to fall in and conform; 
And in fall...

A Date
If I never meet her again,
my whole life would be incomplete.
This one day was simply germane.
And for what reason did we meet?

In this imperfect world of ours,
a joy, everything was flawless.
How often have you spent hours
on a sandy beach, in full dress.

And feel very comfortable,
with...

Cool Light Breeze Across the Seine
On the stone whitebeige border of a bridge over the Seine,
  she rests her two arms, her body leaning on her outer forearms;
  the tearlet longlaced white ruffles on her longsleeved dark skyblue dress
    fall in small tiered cascades from...

 "A bouquet of lingering stars in lull of velvet satin darkness,
 forever I give to you, my love. Quote_by Poet"


It's so perfect, calm, and tranquil; 
My spirit is truthful thankful. 
Night full of vivid imagery, 
A mood full of bewitchery. 
Moons soften flame shines...

Ancient Ones
I often sit in quiet contemplation of my surroundings. In silent observation I process the changes that nature presents, just for my viewing pleasure. Through the changes of the seasons I watch plants grow, from seedling to blossoming beauty. Tree leaves bud, grow, change their...
