Best Sixty Poems

I will turn sixty years old this year.
I can face it bravely for I don't look my age.
Turning forty.... that filled me with fear
but I'm wiser now, practically a sage
and not afraid to turn this new page.

When I was young, sixty seemed so old.
I imagined...

I spread her wanting derriere as making love unto she.. 
Perfect sweetness; cumming, and all I could do was enjoy while 
My heart raced to catch her haloes breath; sucking, her beautiful breast....

From sixteen to sixty you have loved me
I have loved you
Destined to share this life together
A blessed fulfilled life… tried and true!

Together we have grown into adulthood
A loyal team side by side
Conquered all life handed us
Each other’s support and guide

We have agreed and disagreed
Gained life...

The river’s a ribbon on which we row.

The moon is a placid blossom of gold,

for we, passion-souled, imagine it so!


Mirrored in water’s each soft rippling fold

is Luna’s lovely pale petal-faced glow

and we are sailing on blue silk’s smooth flow!

North of sixty, you see the cold. 
Big skies, and short days told. 
Forests shrink, past big river. 
Listen closely, hear them shiver.
Bison wild, roam free here.
Timber wolf run, moon light clear.

North of sixty, black raven flies. 
Wise old bird, wing spread skies.
Mountains roll, to...

    America plagued by terror
      Murder and hate wherever you turn

    Country gone the way of Watts, ‘65

SIXTY EIGHT

For years I’ve lived with being a soixante-huiter
Although my wardrobe’s more fastidious and neater
Those heady days are not beyond recall
The nights and days when we first did it all
But sober work and ethics have combined
To make a settled bed  my truest mind
And catalogues...

Sixty seconds, one minute is all it would take
for others to fulfill a small request that I made.
"I would do anything for you Bill, I would even die."
Well that turned out to be a pack of lies.
I needed a simple favor, so I gave everyone...

Sixty-Six years ago today a very naïve farm-boy left the Hoosier farm,
To seek adventure beyond the horizon since farming had lost its charm.
He enlisted in the Air Force, a knight in blue to keep the nation free.
My gosh! Come to think about it, that unsophisticated...

Parody of Sixteen Going on Seventeen Reprise from the sound of music

I am sixty going on seventy
I’ve got a dicky heart
Surgeon’s been kind and relieved my mind
My ticker he can restart

But I wonder, should the worst happen
Will my life be the same
Energy low ,lost my...

Three-hundred and sixty-five days
Twenty-four hours spent
Could the days left be better used
Each designed with intent

This time in life with health going
What could be done each day?
Restore peace, life, and well-being
To the world come what may  

Some thoughts inspired by the movie "The Good Lie"...

Who is the Queen?
When all is said and done.
A nice old lady who wears nice hats
And in life has had a decent run.
Her servants do the weekly shopping.
She watches Corrie when at home.
And maybe like you she reads the Sun
Whilst seated on the throne.

The Summer of Nineteen Sixty

Lying on a blanket by the loch side on a summer’s day
I close my eyes and listen to the quiet.
I hear the slap, slap of the small wavelets lapping on the pebbles and
The plop of some brave fish as he twists...

I was fit and feisty at fifty
It was no big deal
Because that's how half a century
Is supposed to feel.

In my sixties I'll take stock
Start making great plans
Ignoring all the 'you cant's'
And embracing all the 'I cans'.

Can I be sexy at sixty?
and try all the fashions...
