i start awake from acrid dreams
as all my senses meld to one
i taste the bitter ashen air
cremains of lifetimes
torn asunder...licked by
the devil's sharp tongue
too hot to touch
too painful to see
through tears of disbelief
this nightmare reality
spits and Snaps and SCREAMS
ALL AROUND NOW - DEAR GOD!
WHY HATH THOU FORS....chosen me
........to save?
You’re all in charge of authoring a story
Of love and humor, suspense and glory
You’re writing starts with your very first thought
And doesn’t end til your life is naught.
Know, My Dears, these books; your own
There are no cowriters; authors unknown
Flip those pages and make your quills dance
Miss no opportunities, take a chance
If somewhere in those thick tomes of yours
You have questions “whys and what fors?”
Do not ponder and then overthink
For there’s no such thing as permanent ink
There will be some tearstained pages
Most likely in your middle ages
There will be words you’d like to forget
Or phrases in which you may regret
But when it reaches the golden stage
The best of the story in a later page
Grab a pencil and throw some sparks
And don’t be afraid of eraser marks
Then once it’s written and you do find
There was a time of hurt when life’s unkind
Go ahead and toss out awful chapters
Because Momma loves Happily Ever Afters
An old cowboy still wore his spurs
As he entered the cool dark bar.
He brushed his jeans of cockle burrs,
Waved his hat for a whiskey jar.
He looked 'round at the Friday crowd,
Smiled and recalled his younger day.
And then he heard him brash and loud -
A young cowboy with hell to pay.
He slammed through the old batwing doors,
Sat down at the old man's table.
He said."Pop,I'll give you 'what fors'
If you don't leave while you're able."
And then the old man kinda smiled.
He said, "Son,I'd leave were I you.
Things 'round here are 'bout to get wild.
You're 'bout to lose a tooth or two!"
The young cowboy leaned back and grinned
As the old man swung the bottle.
They swore that you could feel the wind
As he hit the chin full throttle.
And then he laid there 'neath the table
With a changed view of these old men.
Don't take on more than you're able -
You don't know where these guys have been.

For contest And Then..
Life for a Short Spell
Seem to be so many in God's multitude
Sure do hope that I He does include
Guide me through Bible as I will read
Then for next poem plant a new seed.
Seed of hope and truth let each one be
While I become humble full of humility
After each deed is completed and done
Continue to know God is the Holy One.
Often wonder where God will let me go
He surely is one who always does know
And writing poems, the ability I lack
God will be willing to cut me some slack.
So writing great poems I shall strive on
Eventually one day when my life is gone
With God's help gave all things my best
Now again in heaven I shall safely rest.
Heaven all of our souls originally where
And from there to earth God did transfer
For us things are always hard to tell
Life here is only fors a short spell.
Jim Horn
Their death day that came
far too soon
did freeze their love amidst full bloom
Never would angry words
ring out
no regrets brought about
Nothing to say sorry fors and
no hot tears shed behind
closed
doors
Nothing to regret..
Nothing to wish to forget..
Nothing hurt..
Nothing cursed..
Untouched, unviolated, preserved
the sickness of death doth cured
only simple, sweet, pure love
naïve and precious like a
newborn
dove
Two lives taken just as they started
no time for hearts to break
or
harden
A smart life lesson for us all
for we know not,
just when death will call
And loving fully and with all our best
means no matter what,
we'll find easy rest
just like Romeo and his
Juliet
When nothing else around you makes sense and the world in front of u seems as a foreign place. When time doesn’t exist, when those around you seem to fall away. When family and friends are just blur images, when reality seems to be unapproachable. When rhyme becomes reason, when facts never have meanings. When love is just a four letter word, when honesty can never be obtained. When we as a people don't fight together, when we seem to be pulling away. When nothing else matters, when the whys become the what fors. Is when you u start to wonder what the hell am I in this for. When you think you have it all figured out and it slaps you in the face. When all you say now is Lord just give me your Saving Grace. When what made u happy is now the cause of you being Sad. When now what made you smile now makes you mad. When nothing else matters, and it’s all said and done. It’s when you start to ask yourself When Lord will I overcome!
By Sherri Fletcher Wells
So easy in love,
so easily out.
With the flick of a switch,
your left in no doubt.
Maybe someday she`ll realise,
but then maybe she wont.
What if now she feels alive,
now that you dont.
We pull strings and play games,
impassionately annoy.
Passion becomes a crime
when we play with hearts like they`re toys.
Now dont let them in,
because you may have to smile.
And theres always a risk that they`ll tear out your heart,
and have it dangle awhile.
The risk is called love
and it gives such a buzz.
Its what makes us human
and turns us to mush.
It goes up and comes down,
brings laughter and pain.
Once you`ve tasted it pure
you`ll never be the same.
Loves a bitter sweet pill,
not for the faint hearted.
Some lose it to greed, envy or lust,
while some lose it with their dear departed.
Whoever you love and however you live,
dont dwell on the whys the what fors and what ifs.
Live each day as new and dont be scared to let go,
because true love will not judge you,
take you for granted or say no.
Why is jealousy green? She asks.
I've pondered on that before.
To write a poem about it,
I must think on it some more.
There are so many puzzlements
All entangled in my head.
Those who could have enlightened me
I fear are a long time dead.
I turn first to the Internet
For it seems someone has done
The research and has posted it
On every subject under the sun.
Sure enough, I find it there,
The answer to my question.
It makes good sense and so I'll choose
This reason as the best one.
It's the color of one's aura,
Which only the gifted can see.
The color green is dominant
When we're consumed with jealousy.
Fellow Poets take your questions,
Just go straight to the Internet.
Look up everything on Paula's list
You'll find the answer, I"ll bet.
For Paula's question "Why is jealousy the color green?" Won 8th place
I skimmed the earth.........
In a blur of speed
The flexed wing......
The heart to lead
For, flying is everything....
I skimmed the Earth
The feel of wind on my face
The flying place............
The feathered wing
Wings, aglow..............
Not far to go
I skimmed the earth
What I look for............
In my heart ,I know
To fly through......
The Earths' beauty
Wings perfectly true
The blur of it all
Such wings!
I cannot fall....
They cannot know.........
Why I fly so
I skimmed the Earth
My heart aglow
The whys..........
The what fors..........
Natures' laws
The heart flies..............
Just cause..........
Skimming the Earth..............
My true sense of worth
I skimmed the earth.........
In a blur of speed
The flexed wing......
The heart to lead
For, flying is everything....
I skimmed the Earth
The feel of wind on my face
The flying place............
The feathered wing
Wings, aglow..............
Not far to go
I skimmed the earth
What I look for............
In my heart ,I know
To fly through......
The Earths' beauty
Wings perfectly true
The blur of it all
Such wings!
I cannot fall....
They cannot know.........
Why I fly so
I skimmed the Earth
My heart aglow
The whys..........
The what fors..........
Natures' laws
The heart flies..............
Just cause..........
Skimming the Earth..............
My true sense of worth
