My Nicknames Fit Me So Well
Robins the name given me
But poemprophet or sweet pea
Are some that suit me much more
Than others used on me before
Poemprophet fits to the letter
Writing poems there's nothing better
Sad, life, love or even funny
My words are right on the money
Flowing emotions I can't stop it
Touching hearts...

A Love Born On Valentines Day-- a Collaboration With Jimmy Anderson
In the valley of love and mystery
She's thinking about her history
With lovers before he came along
But now she's woven him into song

This certain love she feels for him
Is deep and proud,it's not a whim
His love for her cannot be weighed
So strong and true,it can't be...

Have Sympathy Number 3
Poem for contest
Was a big test
Must be funny
Right on the money
Now it’s through
Screen goes blue
COMPUTER CRASH!

Get up early
Feeling squirrelly
Need a bang
Coffee’s the thing
Get a cup
Pot burned up
FORGOT THE WATER!

Canoeing the river
Start to shiver
Waterfall in store
Get to the shore
Stayed with flow
Over you go
DROPPED THE PADDLE!

Fishing is...

You tried to go to second from first. 
Getting a good jump, your run was like a burst. 
However, the catcher's throw was right on the money. 
You were caught attempting to steal; that wasn't funny....

Heaven Forbid
Well he's my friend and I'd never
Do anything to betray him but
The things you say and do when
We’re alone I get the feeling you're
Just using him to get to me...
Well HEAVEN FORBID I'm wrong
But my intuition is usually right
On the money...so what can I do?
I...

Can'T We All Just Get Along
Can't We All Just Get Along


We need to take a good look from within let me begin
 Shattered glass blood stained riots in our street
 Some may seem to far way out of reach
 Shelter lies dormant amidst it's beckoning plow

 There is a stirring...

Walter Cronkite and Why He Was So Right
Walter was so right,
In his fight for right, 
While not too far to the right.

Walter was a shining light,
A guiding light,
All his weight behind the light.

His quotes right on the money,
But not for the sake of the money,
His eyes on everything but money.

Walter told us...
