Dead Men Do Tell Tales

 I saw, the rot of sad, deep selfish desires,
 burning endlessly in clever fires
 Piles of cash a tall mountain high
 stolen by those that cleverly steal and lie
 six lying days every week , 
 while they race into...

Campfire And Tall Tails

     Friends and sons come walking into the campsite all dress in camo 
 from their long day’s hunt. Around the crackling campfire, they all gather 
and sat to warm their much-needed cold wet bodies. Keeping warm
with a...

What would we do without Cuddles 
They help us to get out of muddles 
When we're feelin' down, they replace a frown 
And they fill us so full of Love Bubbles 

Beethoven, Sparkles and Lulu 
Far greater than anything Tragic 
Eeyore, T-T-Tigger and Pooh

Tales of Reconciliation

When the moodybirds alight in the silence of the night;
When all is within reason shadow calling unknown mysteries 
hidden by the turning of the seasons.

Within that spectrum shines the light of the sparks, 
tightly wrapped within, smoldering converse remarks, 
engagements of woeful tales...

When I woke, Mom, I saw a parade
right before me! I wish it had stayed.
There were drummers and clowns,
lots of colors and sounds,
but in minutes, it started to fade!

Oh my! I just saw a big bear.
He was out in the woods, I swear.
He was so...

 burning endlessly in clever fires
 Piles of cash a mountain high

I took a casual stroll through the local cemetery the other day,
Looking for interesting epitaphs and to pay my respects along the way.
Many stones were simply etched with names and dates of death and birth.
Others contained tales of sad demise, yet others of perky mirth.

"Here...

Her senses melded with the tapestry,
coming alive, 
as if the images woven 
stripped her spirit bare.
Each image bearing the tale
of the ancients;
Forbearers of a forgotten world
stitched in new world colors.

Interwoven remembered glory
mingling with horrors, gory.
Interlaced, now, in a threaded story
merging the old, 
with those of...

Great are his exploits
honour and rank
he's celebrated
he's immortalized
He's fondly recalled
Back to memory

The great legends of Old.. 
Great Chief Waiyaki wa Hinga..
Aged nine he killed a lion
with his bare hands...
When the imperialist came.. Waiyaki..
Raised a huge Army armed with bows and arrows

Testing the might of the...

Out from the shallow waters 
far beyond the sandy shore, 
lives a wondrous creature 
curious eyes are searching for 

None can really say exactly 
just where she does dwell, 
maybe hiding down there deep 
at the bottom where treasure fell 

And with nothing but all...

Along a pier, on a bench,
An old man sits all day.
Passers by not lending time,
To what he has to say.
They'll never know the loves he had,
Or ocean blues he sailed.
If they had just a moment,
Oh the tales that he could tell.

A gent with fishing rod...

I found a dove lying broken
I knelt just as it died.
It had chosen my high window
as its own patch of blue sky.

A young dove it appeared to be,
too young to know or care
that windows are seductive
when one's flying in the air.

It was too young to...

The west winds of springtime
Brought forth April showers
That rained on the pavements
Of Southwick for hours.

It was standing room only
And full to the brim
As people sought shelter 
At the old Tabard Inn.
           
A man with a...

Out of the ether once came a small child
who hoped to one day fly thru the air.
Diligently applying herself, learning a style,
performing higher leaps, tapping the rare.

She performed somersaults, all in her stride,
with greater and more intelligent ease.
Winning honors and gold medals worldwide,
winning hearts with...
