Protagonist of George Harrison

Written: May 5th, 2025, for contest by Brian Strand

Painting by Peter Doig. A concise abstract on Abbey Road and its pivotal moment.   He subsequently produced outstanding music.   His music resembled pleasant dew cascading as melodic notes, like honey smeared on leavened bread.

Harrison Ford

Harrison Ford of action movie fame
Han Solo, a hero's name he can claim
Though not a Jedi Knight
He fought for what was right
Always wound up with a beautiful dame

Then took the role of Indiana Jones
An archaeologitst who studied bones
Although he hated snakes
Indy had what it takes
An ample pair of courageous cajones

Beatles McCartney, Lennon, Harrison and Starr

Paul wrote songs he
sang with his guitar.
The “cute” one, he
has come amazingly far!

The “smart” one John
went successfully solo, but
one tragic day got
murdered by a nut.

George, smoker, lead guitarist
and spiritual, “quiet” one,
got cancer. He’d composed
“Here Comes the Sun.”

Ringo, the Beatles’ drummer, 
met his second wife
filming “Caveman.” They’ve enjoyed
a long, rich life.

Ode To William Henry Harrison

My ode to William Henry Harrison, 9th President
of the United States, yet barely known.
A Founding Father’s son and longtime frontier resident,
Brave military leader to the bone.

His victories in uniform stacked up along the way,
rarely defeated at the battle line.
As President, though, died in office one month to the day,
now nobody remembers Number Nine.

He served the

Harrison Park

Harrison Park is large
It has a trailer park
The people camp out
They spend their summer
 
In this park is a restaurant
All the food is home made
This place is always packed
They are enjoying their meal

The park has visitors
Rain or shine people come
To visit the small zoo
To see animals

There are cages with birds
They are different species 
A partridge

Jim Harrison

he knew 
his time had come
embraced it reluctantly
and completely in his way
with pen in hand
poised over paper

words seemed to come easily for him
and he used them
to describe the mystery
of beauty and resilience of life 
in all he saw around him

the world could not contain him
his print pressed the earth with all the force
of energy and

William Harrison Hardy

1823 - 1906
 

I believe a fair introduction is in order here.
Not that a handshake from me could ever take place anytime soon.
I was Captain Bill Hardy:
Proud Indian fighter!
And celebrated toll road builder!
I was the one who built the big road
From San Bernardino to Prescott Arizona!
And it was I, Captain Bill Hardy,
Who founded

That Sweet Singing Guitar - For My Late Friend George Harrison

That sweet singing guitar, 


Magic from finger tips 


When only tender thirteen 


George, you serenaded me 




That boy in awe, 


This man still is 


Your wonderful quiet demeanor, 


Spoke volumes of you 




My heart softly weeps, 


For I'll miss you 


Rock star, then hero 


Such a gentle human 




Such a magnificent friend, 


Still, there is

Harrison Ford

Synonymous with my childhood
A metaphor for adventure;
If anyone could do it he could ,
His spirit never fractured; 

He could beguile 
with a whip or a blaster;
Or even with his smile,
Every tool mastered;

A Silver Screen Titan
Filled with sarcastic discord;
Each character an icon, 
the unstoppable Harrison Ford.

Harrison

Hope for eternal life
Always the firstborn son
Really glad to be alive
Ready to travel
Interesting story teller, 
Smart
Only young for a short time
Nice and sweet, and proud of his accomplishments




a tribute to Harrison Hilley in my children's church class.
