Close EncounterI'd finished work at ten PM and got in my car
It was dark as I drove home and in the sky noticed a star
Could be a planet I thought, as I drove along the forest road
It seemed to get closer and I noticed my car...

An Old CowboyAn Old Cowboy
An old cowboy left yesterday.
Once drove herds over open range.
Many hardships along the way,
But a life he would never change.
Heard sound of cattle full stampede.
Rode days in slush up to his knees.
Tall in the saddle on his steed.
Broke, but had all a cowboy...

Grandpa's WrinklesGRANDPA'S WRINKLES
====================
I sat beside my grandpa in the verandah,
And watched him gazing in the sky.
Suddenly he smiled and I noticed

Said he.
He smiled again...

How you tackle my emotions, turn them sometimes to a win?
Having retired from my career and job of nearly thirty years,
I'd already had my share of joys, more than enough of tears.
The computer...

A Rhyme CrimeA musing Mary, quite stationary
sitting with her laptop so still
thinks of limo cars, Broadway stars
and her dream house on the hill
Jill and Jack laid in their sack
wondering about Mary on their hill
making hay about "will she stay?"
tip their bucket to make it spill
Georgie Porgie and...

Yes I PlagiarizedGod why is it so hard to write a poem
Is it because I have nothing to say
Or is it because I have too much that my mind can’t choose one topic
I was too lazy so I copied a poem from an old notebook of mine

Devotion To a Lady UnknownA space inside
wounded, scarred, and growling
I invite her to this place unseen
touching all damage delicate
knowingly heals with tenderness
mending hands work over my flesh
soothing with sensitivity
All I've ever...

A Dozen White Roses and Ruby Stained Teardrops.A Dozen White Roses and Ruby Stained Teardrops.
He came with the soft, soft winds of spring. Bearing blossoming white roses
bewitching my soul, as he courted. Sweet words, loving embraces.
Many a promise and some declarations.
Friday night came. Work over, now our time. Happily, he...

UnderstandingTo understand me is to have loved me
because I am not an easy person to get
people search for low lites in my high features
but I am far from being plainly written
you won't be able to look up a phrase
or just one characteristic

Room For ImprovementNo time to let my mind explode so let me stop the oil spill,
as I fall from a tree without life,
staying on top of glory and never falling down the hill,
over welled by my effort of success, call it sleep deprive;
Many reach for success but...

Of Waters and the WildIf we begin this tale from the left,
many will see the sons and daughters of tomorrow emerged.
Did God really said "let there be light"?
Or was it a planted falsehood in hearts?
Are we really wet in the image of God
or in the complexities of...

Coming From a Little GirlIf I tell you something.
Promise not to run away?
If I tell you a secret, are you here to stay?
I'm afraid to tell you.
Because of how you are.
But to me your like a star.
Your always up. Sometimes hard to find.
But no matter what you always...
