Premium Member -My- Children’s Laughter
From George’s Creek to Holly Lawn, A journey, a montage of life, Where laughter and tears, Juxtaposed in moments of reflection, Of family triumphs and imperfections. Oh time, moving imperceptibly, keeper of the ages, A bridge, a pendulum, an hourglass, A fingerprint pressed upon its pages. Gentle voices of merriment like a vapor going out and up, A longing for those moments, another sip...

Driving Down Memory Lane
I was drivin’ down an old, worn black-top highway, on my way to a funeral. It was mid-Missouri, and late summer made it hotter’n the dickens outside. I was thinkin’ there was only a couple of hours left of daylight as I reached over and switched the car’s air conditioner fan up another...

Premium Member Healing touch of cherished things
In quiet dim corners and drawers untouched, Lie precious things, much cherished and clutched, These cold inanimate things, just like a friend, Can ease our troubles, and ill feelings amend. Each memento and much used everyday things, Are something special, for the comfort each treasure brings. It's not just any old clock, that's revered, it's only that one. With its unique tick...

Premium Member The Waves of Everything Pretty
Air aided in gravel’s travel Its ricocheting rhythm Rhythming like the crunch Of an ocean The steps of someone The left and right side Sway as incongruent tides Whatever winds wind up Within an earshot, it becomes Tapped in our orbit Wonders of the world all around Wondering what it will be like To be a cherished kind of sound...

The Man I Once Cherished
With heavy heart, in depths of sorrow drowned, I stand, an image of esteem unbound, A man whom I did raise in high regard, His truth, alas, has struck me much too hard. His actions 'gainst my name, a wicked ploy, To raise himself, my trust he would destroy, With eagerness, he spun a tale of lies, To those I cherish, with...

Cherished by Mom
In you, dear Mother, my pride resides, No hate could ever in my heart abide. Nine months within your loving embrace, You nurtured me with boundless grace. You taught me to speak, to write, to stand, Guided me with a gentle hand. A part of you, you gave to me, A bond so strong, for eternity. Today and always, I honor you, For all...

Wind of the past
The autumn that had remained monotonous- For many decades, Now tears and takes pieces of hearts, Along with its old leaves, flowers, Leaving a nostalgic scent behind. Every preceding winter that warmed people, Returned this year, demanding- All the warmth that blanketed their memories, While it left them alone, in the...

Premium Member Cherished is the Night
*I wrote this sonnet some years ago for my wife, who suffers from fibromyalgia since an auto accident in 1995. An anniversary poem not Aphrodite's vernal ivory skin nor Cleopatra's jasmine scented hair could tempt this man to stray in lustful sin for next to you no beauty can compare like Tristan who succumbed to Isolde's spell or Romeo who died...

Premium Member Cherished of Woke Visions
In a cherished of woke visions, our Lord Jesus Christ gently spoke, and said, "Feed my people," as loaves of bread, fish, and fruit cascaded down from His blessing hands. A font of sustenance and love into infinite wicker baskets. Us reapers knelt to Him, as the hungry of the world bowed their heads in thanksgiving and feasted at the Lord's endless table. ~...
