There was a man who was
A giant over his brothers.
He was a fighter not a lover,
Always in a brawl forevermore.
His name was Cain.
And countrywide was his fame.
Everyone knew his name.
Oh, that infamous Cain.
One day he shot the lawman,
And left his wife to mourn.
One son was but a lad.
The other was unborn.
The unborn son wanted vengeance all his life.
He grew to be a loner with no wife.
His constant companion was a gun.
He learned to shoot and always won.

He took away Cain's life in a bar.
Legend traveled very far.
Every day he thinks of his dad.
The memories, they make him sad.

Violette Poem-Nature’s Design
Some folks like cold weather.
Want the warm air, never.
Could have snow forever.
Wintertime kind.
A snowstorm is outside,
covering countrywide.
Go have a fun sleigh ride.
Oh no, Springtime!
It’s called a Noreaster.
So, don’t get spring fever,
nor outdoor plans either.
Nature’s design
Dressed white are trees displayed,
as winds fuss in tirade
howling in serenade.
How nice and fine!
It’s March and you’re housebound
a feeling most profound
with nothing to confound.
Relax. Recline.
Soon it will be summer.
Heat will be a bummer.
Now the snow’s a stunner.
Oh, so sublime!

We all live in a stressful life,
It’s not like taking a drive.
We all have to suffer,
Some go without supper.
A lot of teens commit suicide,
You read about in papers countrywide.
‘cause schools have a homework overload,
Or did I miss something along the road?
We don’t have to take our own life’s,
We still do have our rights.
You’ll only end up with hospital bills.
What’s the use of cutting your wrists,
Rather hit a solid wall with your fist.
Come on you, life is a long journey,
Please take time and listen to me.
Take a break and see many wonders today,
Our heavenly Father will show you the way.
Take enough time to tranquillise,
Read the good book, you’ll find good advise.
