Best Turn On A Dime Poems

Thanks to Jan for inspiring this one

She's quickly traveled to the top

With her witty and charming repartee

Her poetry rolls out nonstop

She recently said she was a “student of life”

Hope I can say the same of me

Through the many long years passing through

Learned how to be...

Killer was nervous that day
after he’d done away
with the uncle he’d made pay
for the evil he’d suffered long ago one day.

His hands shook.
His body quivered.
What was done was done.
Payback delivered.

The blood had been sickening
and the vomit that followed
smelled like hell
as his guilt he swallowed.

Scared now...

Changing your priorities
broadens the width of your scope.
And you start searching your heart
for a faint glimmer of hope.

Luck leaps merrily along,
then makes a sharp reversal.
For life's not a Broadway play;
there's no script or rehearsal.

The beauty of Winter's white
leaves Autumn colors in doubt.
And when tears morph...

Digital Creationism
(Man 0, God 1)         

Part 1: Binary God
For men it seems God is a binary function
And like ones and zeros 'HE IS ON or 'he's off.'
Is it luck that He is a guest at your table?...

One eye was brown, the other blue,
Australian Shepard his breed-
a workin' dog with one heck of a nip
to the heels a cattle an' steed.

Just a little fur ball when I got him,
but I well remember the time,
he could out run 'n outsmart the lot,
an' make...

The waves they rock
This ship so fierce
'Twas silent night
Now screams do pierce.

The waves they roll
And curl and crash
We watch with fear
On rocks waves smash.

The morrow comes
The sky is bright
Our ship survived
The stormy night

The waves, they lap
Upon the sand
We safely dock
Upon this land.

Neptune the sweet
A lulling...

God Gives Us 
Wisdom In Small Doses

Sad is the People of the lost hope
LIFE is often a long drive nowhere
Golden is the song joy brings
Deep is love that truly lives
Dark are troubles that they ware
Lost are hopes never to see
Young is the ones of youth

There is a bad love condition
That we all know as suspicion
It tears couples all apart
Because of no love in their heart
Their loving eyes start to turn green
Demeanors go from glad to mean
Attitudes turn on a dime
When someones taking what is mine
No matter what is done...

who am i
who should i be
a fun lovin pirate
who rules the sea,
a gardener 
who plants baby trees
maybe a teacher
who nurtures the mind
or a race car driver
who can turn on a dime
a movie star actress
with my name up in lights
a tour guide speaker
bringing life to the...

Carpe diem.

Life can turn on a dime.
One moment you may be engrossed in a book and the next,
it's as though time...Time slips away,  taking with it your imagination and civility.
Time steals your identity. 
It fractures under the daily stresses.
Life....., OH life! It totally depresses.
You stand...

In dreams,
Where "reality" can
turn on a dime...
And you can "almost" 
control the action...
The dust-devil of dreams
carries us aloft
to times and places
of our minds choosing...
And there is no such
thing as impossible
And all the Universe is ours to travel in
And all the dead walk again...
In dreams......

Have you ever felt
so closed off
It’s as if you’ve been building a wall
between yourself, and the rest of the world
You can huff & puff
all day long
but your never going to get through
no matter what you do
I’ll out build your advances
So catch a clue
Things turn on...

Wisdom In Small Doses




Pale is the color of lost hope
  life is often a short rope
Golden is the song joy gives
  deep is love that truly lives
Blue are troubles sadly worn
  lost are hopes never born
White is the color of youth

If what God gives to us should be taken away,
Does it mean we've committed a crime?
Does it mean God's unfeeling, did we play a role
Should our love for Him turn on a dime?

Does the garden exist still where you met your love,
Might another bud blossom...

A musk ox was beloved. 
Until it busted out of its bird cage.
Shape shifted into the wind...
Open tundra (harsh as it is)
never tasted so good...
but right on cue the wolves moveD on in.

This musk ox wasn't like the rest.
It refused to retreat into a circle.
It...
