"When opportunity doesn't knock, build a door"
When possibilities don't arise, look for more
When all you can do is build a bridge
to connect the mountain peak to the ridge
You find that strange and patient zen
That comes from knowing why and knowing when
When your blueprint for this...

Premium Member Farmer Fred Talks Politics Vol I
Farmer Fred was out in his field making inspection
When I snuck up on him without detection
I stated my greetings with great voice inflection
Which caused Fred to jump in the opposite direction
Then he smiled and made genuflection
Saying, you caught me in introspection
As I was contemplating the...

Premium Member Farmer Fred Talks Politics Vol Ii
Let me explain the numbers I see
The first chart illustrates the five states that flipped
Notice how close the totals are
So, when folks dismiss the evidence of fraud
As being inconsequential I think this demonstrates they’re mental 

Now as to Maricopa, it is the single county that...

Premium Member She Talks Like a Smile
A new gal in town
Fun to be around
Donning white gown
Sweet like a swan
But now she's gone
Yeah, she is now gone

When they heard her talk, she talked like a smile
When they saw her walk, she walked in style
But the walk is gone and the talk is...

Premium Member I Don'T Want No Birds No Rocks To Out Praise My Talks To My Lord My God-
The other day;
A bird lit on my shoulder;
I felt in my spirit, I heard him say;
I acknowledge Him today;
I spoke to God this morning:
And I said Thank-you God;
Thank-you for making me;
Thank-you for eyes to see;
Thank you for all that you be;
Now not my imagination;
And no...

Premium Member Peace Talks
I had an uneasy feeling,
When I saw that meeting.

Two men staring face to face,
signs of emotion there was not a trace.
Each argued his case, weak and strong,
Both were convinced the other was wrong.

The first one said, ‘Please justify your bomb
that killed the innocent, both old...

Premium Member When My Mother Talks
Something about having
you inside
me feels like outside is
warmer than
inside even when
maybe it's not but
it could be and that
doesn't matter because
matter is about how
happy we are inside and
outside.

RIP, Pete Seeger.

A Night Walk, Nature Then Talks

Forgotten, my life,my dear sweet sorrows
images fading fast as deeper I invade.
Nature sings,cares not for our tomorrows
nor our vanities we so foolishly made!

Forrest path was wide and very well worn
I had walked hundreds of time before.
This night my mind and...

When a Cowboy Talks To God
Lord, you know that I’m one small seed
Blown across the fields of this world—
You could lose me in a moment
By the power you have unfurled.

But when I need to talk to you,
I know you’ll hear me and stand mute—
Then bless me with your vast knowledge
In...

Nobody Talks To Me Anymore
Today was every other day.?My boss says, 
"Hey Joe, where you going with that staple gun in your hand?"
I draw a blank on my face and turn to face his?."You don't really know, do you, Joe? ?You don't know where you're going.?You don't really know...

Hearken When the Body Talks
Hearken When the Body Talks


Any minor hint of bodily pain
Never ignore and never disdain
This could be some telltale sign
Of what may deadly malign.

It may start as a minor pinch
That swells to fatally lynch....
It may sprout as a tiny wart
That will spread to every part....

Good servant...
