Best Pebbled Poems
Rocks and streams from pebbled ruins,
Makes my feet moan and groan.
Water rushing,
Never flushing the dirt from years gone past!
Hurts my toes as I meander by.
A journey that continues to last.
Reminded of our good Christian nation,
Held in such elation.
Humanity rushing past,
Over events we try to trash!
Each painful event is attributed to learning a skill!
Just so much verbal swill!
Taking the tired, poor, and hungry
Huddled masses.
Driven by greed and power,
That surpasses,
Any prayer that might be repeated!
Slaves of every grade,
Found freedom to be costly on the farms that they made.
Indigenous peoples forced from their land and culture,
Lost more to the alcohol and disease,
Distributed as we pleased.
Sex trafficked children,
Learning high paying skills instead of school.
Gay teens beaten and cast out,
Became entrepreneurs with their only lot.
Japanese built businesses and thrived.
Those that stayed alive learned how to start all over again!
Irish escaping a famine,
Gained city skills and tenements by the dozen.
Chinese built cross country railways,
Found fame by living in enclaves!
Let's not leave out the new immigrants,
Shuffled from place to place.
Perhaps another skill set learned,
Or another disgrace.
Whatever the event,
As pebbles in the stream,
Another painful event!
As i look back on that Summers day in August 44
Soon to be transported back to Normandy's bloodied shores
I know i will be leaving, the girl of my dreams
Face to face as we say our goodbye's and tears like loving streams
The day that we first met on that polished pebbled beach
Her flowing blond hair and eyes of blue and complexion of ripened peach
The backdrop of the waves as they echoed within my heart
Rippling undulations, impart
On a tartan blanket she lay whilst her siblings threw skipping stones
Momentary our eyes were captured, two souls on a beach unknown
As we furthered investigation, with glances of blush and stare
This blond and the entranced soldier, now becoming aware
Just as we finished glancing, to the waters edge we look
Her sister of five years old, was caught in wave surge soak
My training instincts show as i react to this little girl
Inhibitions drain from my heart, postponing my previous swirl
On this polished pebbled beach, a young life's barely begun
Nearly taken from a family rich, on a sands where there was no gun
I step back from the tartan and reflect on my tomorrows
Not knowing what i walk into, to visualise hidden sorrows
A changing surrounds us, where two were in captured glance
Turning to this unknown soldier, and smiles with grateful please
She flutters her eyelashes like butterfly wings
With the grace of a Summers breeze
We gather our thoughts as we look back at the stones
Where living can succumb to our future and die all alone
I survived the war, fortunate to return home
As i think of my colleagues, who will out there forever roam
COLD STONED HEART GRANITE MY PEBBLED SOUL - A Haiku
Embracing caring
A precious, little stone grows
watching the pebble
marble I choose to
embracing the caring stone
watching the pebble
just what does this mean
A precious, little stone grows
flesh heart cold turn stone
I choose to marble
granite your soul all to joy
flesh heart cold turn stone
this means just hard love
stones placed around my own heart
I choose to marble
sunny chromatic
A good,flesh heart holding
betrayed by flesh hands

at the edge
of the grassy lawn
frothy wavelets eagerly lap
at the moist sand
where glistening pebbles
cast boulders' black shadows
in the late afternoon amber sun,
pleasing sound, sighing sight
for the soul's deepest delight !
; : Glittering dreams.
:A faded, fatal pond.
:An enshrouded ,clouded sun.
:A flaming, blazed rainbow.
;Thorny butterflies
:An adorned, ornamental
serenity.
: An ineffable Calmness
The evergreen sky.,lighted
carnation.
:A stormy, tempestuous sea.
:An unruffled ,quiet dove.
:God's will enduring, lasting .
: Everywhere stillness,tranquillity and peacefulness.
