Dead At Home
DEAD AT HOME -For Veteran's Day 

It's a gray day, in the café, 
by the side of the road.
There's an old man, took a firm stand, 
trying to loosen the load.

It is struck luck, with his last buck, 
but he pays for his soup.
He has...

Unforgettable
I wonder, myself whom I venerate

the voice of my heart if loud fair enough!

the hive of my life I strive to relate

aspire to unleash my wonders, seems tough.

To craft a soul of light, creed of the core

the quest for mines of gems never shall end

The Dark
The noose tightens,
As i just sit here losing my mind;
Watching myself rot and decay
Watching as i run out of time.
No pride left inside,
No motivation to take a firm stand;
All this losing has crippled my soul,
I just dont know who i really am.
The cold coffin subtilly...

You Can Win If You Rightly Begin
For your thoughts, you are the boss
You can surely prevent your loss

Your happiness, you only hold
You can make your ideas gold

For your health, you are the master
All the good habits, you can muster

You can be sad, mad or even glad
It depends upon the preference had

You...

Good Vs. Evil.
The day was still, windless
A  presence surrounded me  
Though my eyes seemed empty
I could see it standing, waiting, silent.
Not threatening, just waiting among the rocks
As I stumbled towards it.

After the fall I thought I had lost it,
the power of blind vision.
How wrong I...

For Josh Q On His Bar Mitzvah
1.

Our blessing, our son, our family clown
The cracker of jokes, the soother of strife
Takes it all in, teaches us to slow down
Although he bungee jumped straight into life

Yes, when he’s ready, he can move so quick
But if he’s not, well, grab a comfy chair
His brain...

The First Argument
With the onset of earth
man became birthed
perplexed, he pondered his purpose
swamped with wildlife
fish and birds rife
am I meant to run a circus?

I'll need entertainers
and animal trainers
a tent constructed of kelp 
moreover, an audience 
to add due ambiance 
where to start?  "Oh, heaven help!!"

"Howdy there

Please Stand By Me
Please love me and stand by me
It brings me comfort in times of need
When problems arise and hope slips through my hands
I hope you come closer and take a firm stand

Life will always have its ups and downs
I will not always be happy I will...

Against The Wind, My Reward Now



That was my time so long ago
my hat was always in the show
Running, ever against the wind
more enemies than ever friend

Remembering yesterdays so well
the hot nights deep into Hell
O' so many darlings kept me fed
never saw my life was so...

We Appreciate You
Chosen by God to carry His Word;
Maybe running at first, eventually His Voice you heard.
It was a task that you felt might have been hard;
There was no need to worry, you were equipped by God.

A woman of God with great character, principles and power,
A woman...

Two Cowboys In the Badlands
“Let ‘em loose,” came his bellowing yell,
“I got 3,000 head I gotta to sell,
Goin' 1,000 miles in weather that's hell,
You're all gonna sweat and all gonna smell”-

The boss’s eyes on ten cowboys did lay,
With disdain in his words he smirked to say,
“Keep ‘em cattle rollin',...

Premium Member Stinky Pete Cooper - Poop
My neighbor, Pete, is very frustrated
For two weeks he has been constipated
Then, in Poetry Soup
I heard him yell, "Whoop Whoop!"
His laxative had been activated!

He eats spicy food and lot of legumes
Where he shows up, a gaseous cloud looms
Pete is kinda kinky
When he makes a stinky
He...
