Premium Member A Lonely Ruin
Etched in my soul
is the peace of a lonely ruin,
an old chapel on the skull
of a hill surrounded by pastureland
and wind-swept trees.
Below a lake stretches into the distance,
its waves lapping the mottled shores,
its waters harboring a variety of fishes,
its surface mutating according to nature's whims.

Premium Member Dreamland
The thought of life supreme
in a land of my dreams
in a place where beauty dwells
among the flowing water streams
 
Switzerland would be that dream

there the Alps are the tops
this indeed is simply fantastic
 
Watching the cows ring their bells
walking in the...

My Valley
My Valley

Tucked away in the north-central part of the state, about ten miles or so from where the clear and slow-moving water of the Grand River mixes with the quickly rolling mud of the Missouri River. Was my isolated valley. A tiny insignificant place dotted...

Premium Member Reflections By Clintons Red Mill
Going through its ambiance, (on) with open thoughts,
Past scenes so serene, and picturesque (in situ passed).
A house, its windows just ajar to the tactile winsome breeze
That taste of zest & adventure infused; with distilled memory’s, 
And (sensed) delights unmet “as yet”.the wend of life so...

Valerie



It was one of those chance encounters; the Common Room, mid-morning on a brisk April day. She bounced in with a radiant smile and absent-mindedly scanned the newspapers. I was reading a magazine. At loose ends, we were both looking for something to do, so...

The One-Way Path
—For the candlelight glows all night through—

For you walked on this path
must I go, too, on this path?

By the side of the pathway I saw the brilliant colored blossoms,
the color that delights the eyes of passersby. On the pathway 
I smelled the full of sweet-scent...

Valerie - Part 2
I saw her to her dorm room, and asked if I might have the pleasure of
her company later for dinner. She coyly accepted my invitation.. One hour

home to Blenheim Palace, the ancestral seat...

Premium Member Slender a Svelte Sexy Sassy Cow
Slender was a svelte sexy, sensuous, sassy, scintillating cow.
Two bulls living in her new pasture both yelled out “Wow!”
She did not give them the time of day, she had a royalty air.
She only ate people food and sat on a favorite plush chair.

Who does she...

Roaming Lamb
a lamb roams the hillside climbing rocks up and down
to find the pastureland by his lost home, 
overcome by the nameless fear of the long 
and tiresome day’s slow moving time,
he asked the passing cloud
“can you tell me where about is the sky of my...
