Spires
On the day four beasts fell… Their tails whipping the sky in smoke Consumed by their own fire Such commerce Brought down an ancient spire Little did the beasts care A mighty success 5 years prior When just one was saved From confusion and mire For as the cock crowed In a mourning flame If they would’ve recognized a sun They...

Along the Wall of Campbellton Dam 2 of 2
(this is part 2, PSoup said it was too long) This painting can push No time to bend to pick my die up “I'll get it” I think “on my way back” I'm running again The end is in sight And a dog and a cop Flashing his lights "Better come down, sir" I barely hear him "That's not allowed, sir” “Who’s a good boy?” "Grrrr" "Not from...

Along the Wall of Campbellton Dam 1 of 2
Pulled off the road Stirred up the dust Sat in my car Over the fence Campbellton dam Built in nineteen e- leven by pow- erful alien workers Twenty-four hun- dred five feet across Keep off the dam Danger Beware Waters may change Strong undertow No swimming allowed Over the fence Right about eight touchdowns to make A drop in the o- cean on my left Roaring of mock- ing on my right Into the lake or Over the...

It is a terrible sight The flood brings a destructive might". Mighty: ''The Engineers, they say it is all for good. To generate power, for the people's hood. But what about the homes and lands below? The waters rage,...

Mansfield Dam
The barren ground bleached by the sacred sun scantily clothed children and dogs run Trees scarred by scavenged limbs Burned in pyres as sunlight dims Low water levels recorded on painted rocks Boats cannot reach out of water docks I have seen he planet of the damned The hardened earth refuses tent stakes another hill make your Achilles ache The ground crackles then...

Premium Member Spring Breaks Like a Dam
The long dark months of winter soon give way to signs of life renewed again in spring. Migrating from the south to come and play, the songbirds have returned: a cause to sing. The days grow ever longer, draw us out; the snows recede, uncovering the earth. The landscape greens as shoots begin to sprout: a joyful time of freedom and new...

Build Hope-Dam Across Exam
Result of an examination Must not give botheration But, promote determination And plenty of concentration In case one has failed Adverse news is mailed Still one can be bailed Let not one be assailed This time one has not passed One is by failure now bossed Though one is outclassed Agony must not be caused Let "what one person has achieved Can be done by all" be...

A Morning At the Dam
Fishing with Grandpa Sam I could feel the shiver As we headed for the river The morning air Was light and fair A new journey I was taking I could hear the forest waking Be there early Had to hurry Everyone else is asleep I had to be quiet with my tiny feet Did not want to make a sound Silenced my shoes as they hit the...

Premium Member Spill
There's not enough time for my gut to spill Yet, o'er this thick towering dam it flows Blazing blue eyes pierce my soul reaching still For deeper feeling than she feels she knows Keep it from her, I can't, but I won't rush She's a fountain flowing all over me Dark depths of despair that she needs to gush Leaning into you...
