Love and its Fall- Footles
they met,
felt blest.
stars smiled,
friends cheered.
time moved,
life flowed.
doubts crept,
trust, slept.
he yelled,
peace stilled.
she wept,
distraught.
hate grew,
winds blew.

for naught.
bond shook,
love broke.
they went,
love spent.

Cowboy Footles
Great lore
of yore
Big lands’
ranch hands
No work
to shirk
Tending;
mending
Bale hay -
okay!
Cows raised
Grass grazed
Horse spurred
helps herd
Strong fence
makes sense
Bull ride
gets tried
For kicks -
rope tricks!

Beach Footles
sun warm
sea calm
men come
waves hum
sky blue
in view
sky’s dome
clouds roam
birds fly
sky high
time flees
light gleams
on shore
waves roar
rise high
touch sky
wild gales
tear sails
tides roar
beat shore
ships sail
swims whale
fish leap
crabs creep
day shrinks
light winks
night falls
home calls
men go
in tow
beach sleeps
sea weeps

String of Footles
New year
Big cheer.
Low gear
Snows here.
Wind blew
Leaves flew.
Team scored
Crowd roared.
Sun tan
Bronzed man.
Warm sun
Beach fun.
Beach walk
Gulls squawk.
Bright bling
Gold ring.
Place bet
Roulette.
Bells ring
Wedding.
Trains late
Irate.
Won race.
First place.
Birds fly
Sky high.
Flat tire
My ire.
