Best One By One Poems
Days Work is Done,
They See the Rising Sun,
No Doubt more trials are sure to come,
And together they'll tackle them one by one.
she removes
her heart
her mind
then flesh
now I'm naked
While the bodies are piling one by one.
Mother is scared, but calm.
Now look at what they've done.
Father is hurt, but they think they won
Mother makes me hold her palm,
While the bodies are piling one by one.
My family is weak and they are done.
Killing people like a time bomb.
Now look at what they've done.
Everyone is done with the "fun"
Now it's time to rise up with mom,
While the bodies are piling one by one.
Germans shooting with machine guns;
America is here to stop their bomb.
Now look at what they've done.
We are trapped, nowhere to run
My mom tells me to stay calm,
While the bodies are piling one by one.
Now look at what they've done.
One by One…
Concrete words cement my fears, one by one commit to line
Carved in stone all through the years
A labor of love and time
A lesson to learn that nothing good will come
To those who cannot wait
A patient man whose concrete words
Serve to document his fate
And one by one they’re commit to line
One by one with love, through time…
I can’t help but keep coming back to that which brought me here
A mere mortal man who finally learned how to keep his conscience clear
A lesson learned that nothing good will come to those who cannot wait
A blessed man is he whose love can survive in all this hate
And through darkened days still hold the line…
Balanced on the straight and narrow
Concrete words cement my fears, one by one commit to line
Carved in stone all through the years
So some good would come in time…
One by one, a labor of love and time
One word, one day, each in its own time…
Concrete words cement my fears, one by one commit to line
Realizing just how clear it is, this is only part of the design…
Better times will soon arrive…believe
One By One
Sadness has fallen
Darkness has come
Many young lives now gone.
All families in pain
When will the addictions end.
It steals our loved ones
Taking them to places they have never been
…We lose them...One By One…

Here she comes Mama Kitty carrying her
Proud load tightly but ever so gentle in her
mouth she hops on the fence over she comes
down on the other side and right to The Keeper.
She lays the kitten at Keepers feet and off she
goes up and over quicker than a blink out of sight
as Keeper looks up to see where else she might
have gone to than there she was again with #2.
Again she hops on to the fence and over she came.
Proud kitten number two has arrived and she lays
it as the same as the other at the keepers feet.
She looks at The Keeper, as to say, 'Get With It'.
Finally, all have arrived let me see how many are
here One, Two, Three, Four, Five Beautiful kittens.
Keeper bends down ever so gently and checks each
one to make sure they were fine and not hurt anywhere.
Mama lays down at Keepers feet with her children all
there looks up again Meows, as to say, 'I Did Good'
Yes keeper replies back What A Good Job You Did.
So after the hours pass Keeper goes back to work.
A empty tote is the ticket Keeper thought filling it with
blankets, towels and leaves one by one each kitten is
gently laid in the tote and oops! here came mama kitty
stepping right on their little furry heads she settles in.
Now all is well once again at The Keepers House in the
warm Spring Sunshine Keeper goes back to the flower
beds keeping a most watchful eye on her new addition.
Mama Kitty sleeping and along side lays all five kittens.
Just for a while, each soul wears smiles,
Then in due style, file past end mile.
Yes one by one, each leaves abrupt,
No more to pun, death does disrupt.
Time catches each, in quick charade,
Space cannot reach, end of life fades.
Be aware then, yes see the truth,
You know not when, death is foolproof.
So set your sights, live well each day,
Too soon the light, burst on the way.
As you grow old, your cohort dies,
One by one cold, icy death fries.
So take a look, survey the hills,
Read each fine book, live your own thrills.
Too soon end times, the final gaze,
Loss flickers chimes, depart this maze.
So laugh now more, let fest greet jest,
Spread cheer galore, frolic with zest.
Each a candle, with flicker brief,
Learn to handle, pile cheer not grief.
Death funds journey, we all must make,
Live life truly, then heaven takes!

For my father who sleeps
with all the veterans of
WWI..every one now gone.
Piper pipe a song for me,
And for ev'ry soul now free;
Brothers all who heard the call,
One by one each one did fall.
Fall no more good soldier's dead
On this hallowed ground soaked red;
Hear their mothers wail and weep
For their baby boys who sleep.
Sleep in peace my gentle ones
Face no more the crash of guns;
Angel wings on hillock knolls
Wrap around your silent souls -
Souls once vibrant. Souls so brave.
Souls arising from their grave;
Brothers all who heard the call,
One by one each one did fall.
One by one
my poetry has to get transferred,
from my IPod, to my laptop
I have to type out every word.
Although, it's a long process
my poetry won't be lost,
it gets posted on the internet
for me, there is no cost.
I'll have to get it backed up
get it put onto many CDs,
but I'll keep on writing
and posting my poetry.

I haven't been able to post any poetry as of late, because it's too costly to have the internet. I try to get to Tim's whenever I can, so I can post. Even that gets expensive.
one by one by
one the crimson
autumn leaves
by one by one
leave trees
as you have gone
past here
beyond eternity
too far I fear
where you are
while I am here:
those who go
suffer those
left here--
I cry weep
with remorse
for not loving
so much more
of you
my last kiss
on cold lips--
farewell, farewell
precious love,
farewell
One by one
As life did stop;
Her months were done,
And now she's atop.
With all her fun.
One month at a time,
She slowly vanished;
With each small chime,
From life was banished.
Such a wall to climb.
Her life is done,
From dusk to dawn;
One by one,
And now she's gone.
Up, and past the sun.
The life of one,
On which I do desire;
But her time is done,
And I too, will soon retire.
My whole life is a pun.

Piper pipe a dirge for me
And for ev'ry soul set free;
Brothers all who heard the call,
One by one each one would fall.
Fall no more good soldiers wed
To this hallowed ground soaked red.
Hear poor mothers wail and weep
For their baby boys who sleep.
Sleep in peace my gentle ones,
Face no more the crash of guns;
Angel wings on hillock knolls
Wrap around your silent souls.
Souls once vibrant. Souls once brave.
Souls arising from the grave;
Brothers all who heard the call,
One by one each one would fall.
One By One
What if you died today?
What would you do?
Where would you go?
What would you say?
Who would be waiting for you?
Would you even know?
Ask yourself each question.
One by one.
It's okay not to know the answer.
Even ignorance matters.
Bliss flatters.
Balancing the brink,
the other side may not be what you think.
What if you were called to breathe a different air?
What if you were already there?
You wouldn't need to think twice again.
It wouldn't matter if you chose to care.
But would you be in the sight of Heaven or the sight of men?
Live your questions.
One by one.
Become the answers.
Ignorance won't matter.
Bliss will still flatter.
Wood will still crack.
Glass will still shatter.
Voices will still chatter.
Black will still be black.
One by one.
you'll know when you're done.
One by one
The good die young
No problem billy joel
I'll invite the guards of hell
To my celebrity funeral
its stalks the best of us
picks off the rest of us
one by one
we fall by the way
Some of us run from it
some embrace the thing
but one by one
we fall day by day
there are those that fear it
and those that seek for it
and one by one
they all will meet with it
A few will try to hide
will dedicate their lives
but one by one
it finds them
No money can save you
No power protect you
one by one
we all go the same way
don't waste time on fear
seeking money or power
one by one
we should enjoy each passing day
This thing we cannot affect
with deeds, words or dreams
one by one
death finds us all
