Best Shoeing Poems

I don't know what came over me that day - an instant of weakness after years of resistance, I suppose.

My beaming spouse leads me, a dog on a short leash, into the forbidden citadel, the sanctum sanctorum of feminine fastidiousness, the dreaded nail salon.

As we...

TOP GUN.

A keen jet pilot broke the speed of sound
A loud sonic boom he caused on the ground
House windows were broken
The whole town awoken
Claims from lawyers to the air force abound...
 
SANTA ON THE RUN

Santa got pulled over on the highway
Cops told him a light...

In the shadows, harpies linger as agents provocateur, 
for the Fallen Watchers, for pecking order.
Prostitute mercenaries, 
addicted to mercury and disorder.
Their claws sharp, their cries a shiver, 
their motive insanity from hell's hateful quiver.
They pluck you from the light of day,
leave you in the flames...

In the old days of covered wagons, they were part of the Old West
Called them "Smithy's" back then, don't see them around much anymore
Swinging a big hammer down on an anvil, sparks would fly
Red hot iron from the burning coals of the forge, ready for...

Dearest Cousin Madelyn,


Let’s sit in the rowboat, near the dawn’s verdant shore.
Where a squirrel sits under the Oak, that we once...so adored!


We can discuss music, or our fabulous families’activities.
Later, listen to jazz, Dave Brubeck, who was our sweet, chosen proclivity.


It was so fantastic, to be...

Old Jane Gallagher, 
she was fine, 
in that sun shining on an every-day-girl sort of way.
Giggling 
as her checkers clacked and she stacked up her kings, 
funny 
how young women enter men’s senses and take over their hearts.
Young women 
with fresh friendly faces, and smooth,...

LONDON TUBE EXPLOSION 2017

Another explosion in London today
When will they learn to go away?
General public hurt yet again 
These terrorists are a real big pain

Setting off a device in a public place
You’re no member of the human race
Hurting people doing their daily chores
You certainly won’t...

Most old ranches in the West, have a history of their past
Legends and tales about ranching in hard time
Blood, sweat, tears and a lot of elbow grease
The at the 5Y, those days are long past
The last 40 years it has been nothing but crime
Day and...

SF

I see you when I close my eyes, my moon lit lady
Cotton dress
Tan lines
Hot temper

I see you when I close my eyes
Infectious laughter
Blushing

I see you in my dreams, my moon lit lady
Standing on a beach
Toes curled in the sand
A small boat run aground to the...

28 years to see the light it's taken me
To my soul I'm sorry, I know its not been easy.
With gentle prods, subtle messages and even a bang to the head
I still hated my life and wished I was dead.
For that I can not take all...

August 31, 1861 near the Nevada Border.
Texter was shoeing his friend wild Billy younger. The boots was bent and it was a 
hard task to master. We need a day to celebrate the dead not yet killed in the 
Cival War to...

Win gold
be bold

Long run
such fun

High jump
speed bump

Grand prize
all eyes

Close race
in chase

Drab match
I catch

Ground stroke
no joke

Tiebreak
heartache

Foot fault
must halt

Forehand
so grand

Deuce court
report

Drop shot
on spot

Backspin
just in

Closed stance
advance

First serve
hold nerve

All out
no doubt

Arm ball
your call

Back foot
well put

Feet sore
crowd roar

Pit stop
right flop

Air jacks
not lax

Catch fence
immense

Choose cone
in zone

Downforce
of course

Dry line
sounds fine

Black dot
so what

Box-kick
smart...

        Mulled Cider Memories
           


Santa Claus sees what we 
are doing.
We rejoice in grandly...
snow-shoeing.

And, oh we do love our hot,
mulled cider.
Especially next to a warm, cozy, 
fire!

Christmas tunes...
