Best Plans Poems

(SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE 1917)

It’s just another starry night
all is at peace before the storm,
Yet so afraid am I, of the impending summer’s day 
now the shadows begin to form.

Many silhouettes create memories
those in childhood verdant pastures aspire,
yet amongst this valley of planted souls
gives one many...

Nakedness blurs in the rough charcoal smudge 
  
shapes shaded with a roll on the rim of a graphite night 
     
 the art of cheating sins stain a seedy portrait on skin 

     yet basks...

Daddy won't let that man get away. 
He did the dirty deed; now the man must pay. 
In a very short time, the man will be a groom. 
If not, he will be facing certain doom. 
Daddy will make sure the man marries the little...

In the up's that I have found
With the in's that help me out
Here and there and there about
There's only so much that I'm allowed

In the all that I can keep
That keeps on affecting me
Will take for granted in its deeds
Where no longer will I be...

Vance Plans a Vasectomy

By Elton Camp

Vance heard a vasectomy was the way to go
He didn’t know a lot about it, though

But had read all that he wanted to see:
That no more children is the guarantee

In the waiting area he had to have a seat
Since the...

I want so much to see and feel
Everything I can indulge
Nature, sounds, sights around me
Food to taste and enjoy
Live fully doing all
That is possible
Then I will feel
Completed
My job
Done....

Let's not saunter to Saturn this evening
Or amble across to the moon
If we ramble up there in a rocket
We won't get there any time soon

I'd rather we didn't dawdle to Denmark
Or dilly-dally our way to Des Moines
That's far too slow and specific
You can ask -...

trap sprung, mouse missing
a Christmas gift left behind
spinning a grey tail

A nice cruise from New York, I thought

From down by Pier two-one

I thought I'd head to England

For a good old spot of fun

An Ocean trip, some nice fresh air

Eleven days at sea

I thought this would perfect to

Help inspire me

I'd never been to Europe

So I did...

My sisters were coming for a visit for the very first time,
Heading to New Hampshire, leaving the Georgia heat behind.
Our friend Charlie was a house guest before they arrived.
My husband, Charlie, and I all hatched a plan brilliantly contrived.

Left my computer on 
Grabbed the keys off my desk
Packed up the RV
And we headed out West

We grabbed some snacks
Toys, clothes and some cash
turned out the lights, Fed the pets
Shot out the door, dumped the trash

Kids were excited
You could hear them say
Singing this chant 
the...

and elegant reception,

I’m the prince with calloused palms
up at dawn with stifled yawns; pulling on boots
feeding pigs and herding cows - stuck in mud, it’s raining now
and as I plough, I dream of life... not on a farm

of white walled castles crowned in gold (like the tales...

It pays to be prepared for possibilities
None of us know what the future brings
Some of us may face unwanted setbacks
Before the proverbial "fat lady sings."

Things we never could've imagined
Unforeseen illness, a sudden accident
Things happen that we least expect,
Things happen that seem never meant.

Preparation for the...
