Thinking of You   Lyrics By  Speaks Volumes

Honorable Death

Deus Volt I scream by my brother's side,
a distinct bell rings measuring 39mm wide,
high stepping over the deconstructed rubble,
klashnikov volley is what's giving us trouble,
our advancement through the city begins to slow,
primary and secondary left with one mag to go, (clink)
armor so tight it impedes the breathing, (clank)
honor steps in like a sword unsheathing, (clink)
clinking of a grenades stops under my chest,
my brothers have been saved you know the rest.

HONORABLE NAME



Use your name well with honor
with praise and no blame...
Treat everyone the same
Avoid strange reputation, bad fame...


Glory - Honorable Mention

By its root, it means glory 
Like the end of great story 
But to others, it means fame 
Like the star of a hunting game 

One so famous with a spear 
In the hunt of elusive dear 
As a message, it is common 
As a sign of confirmation 

In some places, it's a dance 
If it's mixed with rabbit stance 
But in legend, it's a name 
For the one with might and fame

Premium Member Penguins Mishap Is Honorable

Penguin was embarrassed because he had fallen through the ice.
He had not done it only one time, he had done it thrice.
Anchorage Alaskan penguins cheered and yelled “one more time!”
He became a hero of sorts, so he felt a bit more sublime.

Now on a roll, he decided to try to break the ice.
He jumped on it hard, but it was as solid as blackjack dice.
He tried again, and the other penguins cheered him on.
Not embarrassed now, he began skating on the pond.

Premium Member Honorable Discharge

Throw away the thoughts that make
you sad, they will not exist if you leave
them behind, don't think of things
that will stop the light from shining
brighter.

Imagine how long it takes to hollow out a 
log to make a vase out of bamboo shoots
in a corner of a dark cold room, surely
not worth the effort of making something
looking beautiful from the heart, but
the beauty of the effort is worth the beauty
that appears within.

Food for thought is food for the imagination
creator of majestic impossibilities possible
little bits of light to shine up a lonely spot
hiding away in your heart.

In case you stumble down the cliff of
memories you should have dismissed
many years back, now leave those
memories, the cliff is being worn down
by the waters of time.

It will now be perfect to give everything
and every one an honorable discharge
on command.

(Move on!)
Let's always be a winner!


Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh

Goodbye, Prince Philip, husband of the Queen, age ninety-nine.
Thank you, for giving up prince hood from Greek and Danish lines.
Thank you, Royal Navyman, for setting prisoners free;
thanks for wildlife protection and awards as D of E.

Premium Member Here Lies a Man

Here lies a man who did his best
To live life as fully as he possibly could
There came the time, he confessed,
As any honorable man certainly would
Admitting all the wild seeds he had sown
Times he betrayed an important trust
And now that he sees he is dying soon
Will clear his guilty conscience, he must.

Honorable Work

In these times when not a few people 
are suffering from bankruptcy, 
It's quite important that man 
receives the Lord's graces. 
For him to have them, 
it's good to have 
one decent 
and nice 
job.

Premium Member Honorable Mentions

A contest note- an honorable mention 
It's nice to see...it received attention 
Third or second or even last place 
Remember- writing poetry...is not a race
  
Writing words from within your heart 
To me, will always...top the chart 
No matter what a judge might judge 
It's not a race...don't hold a grudge
 
I've judged myself- so hard to do 
I'll always, ever...appreciate you 
It's just my mood, perhaps, that night 
I don't always get it right 

Right? ...right! 
So, go ahead and write 
Don't think your poetry does not belong 
Perhaps, a judge just judged it wrong

A Honorable Meaningless Death

The only single truth i know
beyond a fact

Is i lived my life as a charlatan 
and a habitual liar

And when i die if nothing else
i wish to be treated accordingly

Otherwise i will die knowing the
only truth i told was meaningless

Premium Member Honorable Mention

When just a child the poet's mom said "Son
Throughout your life beware the sin of pride
Remember this when every day is done
What counts the most is who you are inside"

At first he thought his mother's words unfair
For recognition surely has its place
In time he witnessed prideful thoughts can flare
When undue adulation supplants grace

The poet took to heart his mother's words
Too many accolades can turn your head
Vainglory flits away on wings of birds
What's left is mostly emptiness and dread

Life immersed in modest exhibition
Satisfied with honorable mention

Honorable Judges

Honorable Judges 
We are highly educated and we are smart 
We are the judge and jury
We judge people by their appearance and money 
We have authority and we have power 
No one can stand before us 
We serve justice don't you see? 
Look here and there haha hehe 
Everyone around us is happy but we want to serve more 
We want to make bank balance and we want fame 
Court is our playground and law is our game 
He who speaks truth do you know his name?

Before Honorable Maker Head Bow

Before Honorable Maker Head Bow

They don' know how to milk a cow;
Are only house folk  here and now,
And senseless war,
We want  no more;
Do pray daily with heads that bow.

James Horn

This is my 6,000th poem. Was inspired 
to write it by, "Gone With the Wind."

Honorable Mentionable

I'm looking among the sky and pastor words joint to pleasure is one split 

Between conversation

New to news read readiness of the clouds what make the day so brand new

Each day new of ideas how do word play to reject does the look 

In my eyes play lies

New to news read readiness the clouds what make the day so brand new

Taking on the tip of a tongue of hate better yet choice better word for dogs to sit 

Own it on upgrade felt worst then hurt 

News to news read readiness the clouds what make the days so brand new

Focus and out spoken if chess was a game for this moment to spare  would 

Move 

Mid way to first guess is of guess of all hold hands

New to news read readiness the clouds what make the day so brand new

Look's to known covert mean as to get older partners to parents cheer to ring 

What is foreign asset to new beginning disguise.
