Best Tun Poems


Premium Member A Hay Fiddle Fiddle

The full fallow moon was hung low in July
 As white stars and fireflies lit the night sky,
A sight to behold was the feline bold'
Drawing sighs from the violin, his arms did enfold
He played on the breeze to the harvest to come
As An orchestra of crickets rasped to each thrum.'
He raised now the tempo and thought
 Of a dish and a spoon that had shone
In delighted dedication....As off they did run!
And so he made ‘paws' quaffing wine from a tun,
Then throwing the fiddle up tight to his chin
He forgot about thinking in pursuit of more din!
The cow swished her tail to the music he made
As the dog danced the polka, through a small garden maze
He played till the pearly dawn light did show
Then the crickets fell silent; and the bird calls did grow!
He slept where he fell, to bother no more...
As a ship makes its way to the safest of shores.’
As he turns in his slumber, as she rolls o'er the waves
He would hold no regrets ‘till the ending of days.'

Premium Member Odin's Brood

Odin's Brood



Tyr, Ziu and Saxnot triple threats to the giants*
Hermoor, Heimdallr, Magni and Thor all so defiant
gods of might and power, protectors of sweet earth
Odin's brave brood , courage and strength since birth

Vali, so very set on revenge and great destruction
so skilled in the guiles of seduction and abduction
Mani, shines with force , moon god of the mighty Norse
attempts seducing Nott , goddess of night , of course

Ullr , god of the winter, the hunt and sword duel
tricked by evil Loki that thought him a great fool
Sjofn, temptress , shining majestic goddess of love
that inspires freyja in love, and battle far above

Odin, that set the universe , the mysteries of life
frigga that bore him the sons of glory and paradise
All players in the Nordic thoughts of darkness and light
each serving to stir man's ardor and great zeal to fight

Greatest of all was the powerful legend of mighty Thor
that roamed the earth , destroying evil shore to shore
The bravest son of all Odin's great, mischievous clan
replacing mighty Tyr in the eyes of justice and man!

giants* (The Jötnar are a mythological race that live in Jötunheimr, one of the 
nine)
Speakers of Old Norse called them jötnar (singular jötunn, pronounced 
roughly “YO-tun”) or þursar (singular þurs, pronounced “THURS” like the first 
element in “Thursday” but with a soft “s” at the end). Jötunn comes from the 
Proto-Germanic *etunaz and means “devourer.” The Old English eóten is a 
cognate (it means the same thing and comes from the same Proto-Germanic 
word).[1] Þurs is derived from the Proto-Germanic þurisaz and means 
something like “powerful and injurious one” with a secondary connotation 
of “thorn-like.” The Old English ðyrs and Old High German duris are cognates.

Freedom Within Me

I know some brothers who would never see the streets again.  But then
again......"they are still free.."  I seen a lion in a cage at the Zoo, and he
had a sad look upon his face.  Capture from his environment and then
his anger is much to the roar of his raged.  But if one is not careful, the enemy will
steal your joy and lock your mind as well as your Spirit into such a rage of
indignation that it will make you feel consume to a cage.  "They are still free.."
Animals unlike humans have an objective desire to feel free, so they can roam
and expose themselves in their habitant and be free, and survive off the land,
the land where God privileged is purity and where civilization is his creative app-
roached of Vanity.  
"Let Freedom Ring," and if one take within the fallable cauces of the value of love
and survived the punishment of time.  "Then only for a little while one will domin-
ance over the viles of their crimes and still be______Free.."  {for} GOD knows the
inside of your souls, He knows why the birds flies south to escape the frozen tun-
tra of the nothern shores.  "They have ascertain a course of nature and rest on a
branch of the tree..{!!}.."  "They are still free."
But do you or I...inmates as they call-out and shout your name in an attempt to
make you feel like you're never to return.  Some are litino's, some are mexicans,
Indians and blacks or whites, doing a mandatory ten, but still lockup, for life is
hard in the pen and if it excells you to self-esteem yourself, "count it to the good
as a lesson learned..(??).."  Because deep in the very pit of me, beats the inner
roar   "Freedom Within Me'like the cageup lion and I could never be free if i make my home and ly alone
with that which now controls thee.  Stand to your feets, and show that you are strong
and have Hope.


Seasons

Fall is here,the leaves turn brown,
softly,fluttering to the ground,
sunshine's gone,the sky is grey,
and rain fall's thru out the day

Winter creeps on silent feet,
snow and ice,with slippery sleet,
peacefully white covers the land
bitterly cold,to sting the hands,

Spring a time of things a-new,
sun comes up,to kiss the dew,
birds come to build their nest,
and rainbows seen at their best,

Summer now,to set us free,
blue skies,flowers,and green trees,
grass blowing softly in the breeze,
insects tests,tickle,and tease,

Fall is here,the leaves tun brown.............

Joseph

Joseph your like the brother i never had, 
loosing you has his hit me so bad, 
i wish i was still asleep and this was all a nightmare,
cause im scared of wakening up now and admitting to myself that your not there!
I cant bare the thought of never seeing or speaking to you again,
its just not right 
i wish your death was something i could fight, 
im angry and frustrated that life has turned out this way, 
cos theres a few things to you id like to say..
I love u so much i always have
i cant believe im writing this to you, 
i keep looking up hoping you'll jump out from somewhere & make me laugh!
You were so funny your patter was class,
even though u were so clumsy and kicked over the odd glass :)
You loved your scrap and  any antique, 
remember that old fireplace that my dad said you wernt to keep, 
No-one thought it was worth anything so you carried it all by yourself and your research paid off you were up 6 tun and they wer all ticked off  :) 

It's been a few days now that youve been gone and already it feels too long,
I think that the angel who has taken you from us has got it wrong, 
But they don't make a mistake, 
it's only the special ones that they take
She must've seen that you were one of a kind,
and there was no other person like you she could find,  
Were all angry with this angel for taking you away, but no matter what joe forever in our hearts you will stay xx

Eagle Spirit

An enlightened spirit who lives in contemplation
The one who has witnessed the inner condition
A spirit whose flight is beyond superstition
Mysterious, enigmatic, valid and the odd
An illuminated soul blessed by God.
Note. Knowing is not enough, Practical is must.
Nahi tayra nasheman qasrey sultani kay gunbad par
Tun shaheen hai basera kar paharon ki chatano par.
Lesson. Kabotar mein wo bat Kahan jo uqab me hai
Aish-o-ishrat me wo Maza Kahan jo Azab me hai.
Here Azab means Risk.

Rain a Fall

Rain A Fall and dutty tough
But that didn't cause my mother or father to be a cruff
Instead it make dem realize that things not easy
They had three children to support
so they put dem head together
and open a stall and called it "Rain A Fall"
Yes, "Rain A fall"...

Rain A Fall and Dutty tough

Through all de struggles, my father and mother didn't once think to be a cruff

When the times got harder, my father decide
that him couldn't bear to see my mother coming home so late to feed wi
so him tell her to quit working, stop selling clothes on the roadside cause it nuh easy.
Yes, Rain a Fall and Dutty tough.

Wi go through many struggles but never once have we considered being cruffs
Mi mother quit her little  "hustling" and tun her full attention to raising wi.
Mi father hold on to him little job at the factory
and after many years of stuggles, dem proudly welcome dem pickneys-
Teacher, Accountant, Supervisor

Yes, Rain A Fall and Dutty tough
But that is no excuse to be a cruff!

Wenn Du Ja Sagst

Der Glanz in deinen Augäpfel,
Und der Reiz aus deiner Schönheit, 
Rufen mich um dir zu kommen;
Wie der Pfiff von einem Hundbesitzer.

Mit dem Verhalten deinen Augenlider blinken,
Naturlich kann ich nicht nein sagen,
Sondern  dir folgen ohne Zweifel;
Wie ein Hund seinem Besitzer folgt.

Sagst du mir, was ich tun muss,
Nur gibt es eine Moglichkeit  : 
Deinen Wunsch,sonst  nichts;
Um lieben und um Liebe zu lassen.

Wenn alle nein sagen, ist mir egal,
Wenn du ja sagst,alles klar.

A Glance Into Family's Twisted Song

Shoes arent named by the road they walk down,
so why must I be?
     Dont name me by my steps
Why are the sympoms punished,
instead of the sickness cured?
    Heal my hurting heart
Why when someone extends their pointer finger,
does their inner eye go blind?
    Ironic

When torn at, day by day,
by the haunting demons of change,
torture to what range,
losing the foundation I've grown so strong on.

With the worst ways watering down
the pitiful pain from this pathetic person,
fear fights, to lose face and fail.

If my fault is all you seek,
then no wonder you see a freak.
with holes in heart, must be so bleak.
for they have been there all along
you prefer to turn a blind eye to belong.
returning to our twisted family song.

Hurricanes of blame 
words unspoken of shame
Fear to be hurt.
complaining about the extrovert.
Loads of qualitatively weighted labels
waiting for another to tun the table.

So what will it take?
is it as easy as removing the one with the most mistakes?
I'll admit it
I have my faults
yet, I'm not alone in this waltz.
So dont repel this broken heart
acting like you have no part.

I claim my time as
the Black sheep of this family.
I accnowlage my brain's anomaly.
watching you struggle against it,
must be so frustrating.
yet,
Have you come to think of the one in it.
seeing your words through a lens
unknown in any of your parenting books.
At what point do the lables you cheered over sink in?
I want to learn. 
I want to change.
I slipped.
so, teach me to stand, 
with more than just the back of your hand.

My ears are open,
so please fill them with more than yelling.
My heart is open,
so please fill it with more than knives.

I love you from head to toe. I love you close or far. Busy busy busy or right here playing with you. I love you.

Uisge Beatha

An
Ancient
Alchemy,
Quaint combination:
Heat and water, yeast and barley.

Air.
Mountain,
Sweet and pure;
Warm summer breeze
Caressing barley on the plain.

Fresh
Water,
Crystal clear.
Wild and wilful burn
Lively rushing from the mountain.

Peat.
Ancient,
Rich the reek,
Rising pungent smoke
That fuels the fire to dry the malt.

Bright
Catchlight.
Heart-warming
Heady taste and smell :
The landscape preserved in amber.

A
Process
So simple,
Such complex product
Of copper still and bourbon tun.

Pure
Scottish
Uisge beatha:
The Water of Life –
The essence of the Western Isles.
