Premium MemberMarch 1969 my first grade class was the only class honored to attend Abraham Lincoln Home

No fear of threats from vicious 
Peter Gargano knights of kkk 
Threatening my life for attending 
that 1969 Civil rights field trip
my father Civil rights advocates 
political leaders gather 
as we awaited the trial 
way buses to board 
my first grade class 
was the only class 
honoured to attend 
because excellent 
grades and we were

Premium MemberBeach Feels Honored

Swirly dress of turquoise waves flipped up water edges
Showing off ocean’s prettiest, frothiest, fanciest lacy petticoat
Appreciated by beach, who felt honored and appreciated
Loving that he was the lone recipient of such beauty this morning

I Haven'T Honored a Single Promise

I've loved you with little fondness,
not giving you my whole tenderness;
I've reached for a stranger's arms,
keeping you away from my desires!

No, I haven't honored a single promise...
making you cry without my embrace;
I did a world of wrong many times,
can a tear, or heartbreak be undone?
How cruel I have been giving kisses
to total strangers and not

Premium MemberHonored

When you're feeling tired 
I'll carry you along
When I'm feeling tired
Carry me on your song
Intense as a tsunami 
Gentle as a dove
The range of all my thoughts 
Of you, and of my love

I often wonder what it's like
To walk and hold your hand
Or maybe even arm in arm
Wouldn't that be grand?
I'd be so thrilled and

Honored Bread

Honored Bread (3/6/23)

O honored bread
‘Pon table, blessed
To become the Christ
Who withstood our test
In moment’s word
Our Lord, confessed
Priest’s own hand
Holds belov’d Guest

Once but mere bread
From earthen tomb
Hail we, our King
From Heaven’s womb
O Bread of Life
Our dear Groom
You cause our hearts
To make You room

Once but mere bread
Which God has blessed
You’re now the Christ
Underwent our test
In moment’s word
Who

Premium MemberDerelict

He walks with a limp, dog in tow,
lives on streets, 'neath an azure sky
says, "Morning," with smiles as he goes
Wears logo, "Like you, I could fly."
but people compartmentalize.
He's  one of the derelict crowd,
some say they must be disallowed.
Kindness calls us to  contemplate
what they go through, no longer proud
with mishaps, we may own same

Premium MemberDevotion Honored

Kneeling in prayer, the King folded his hands
  His assassination thusly prevented
  Times were different then, devotion honored
    ~ Stabs in the back were frowned on

  What Hamlet simply could not bear to do
  Today (that) would feel refreshing and new
  Not taking advantage of his arch-foe

Premium MemberHonored By a Natural Eagle Dancer

George Flying Eagle wowed the Navajo with his wisdom
He was a natural eagle dancer, honoring his spirit totem.
Showing a free spirit, and a love for his people
We watched him dance, enthralled, not fully understanding
But feeling honored and revered that he brought his gift to us.

There was a beef lover under duress
for mocking leeks and watercress
But meat he’s rejected
so he’s now been elected
to give the State Of The Onion Address

Graveyard Visit, Seeing Death's Saddest Truth

Walking rows of silent tombstones that litter in my head
I see far more than just faces of buried ancient dead
I see epic battles some lost and long journeys some made
I see long lines trekking through hell's gate as

(2)*Second poem honoring Edgar Allan Poe*

Fate Once Birthed Lovers, Golden True And Dear

We had raced a good race, with wind cool and fair,
There were romantic nights steaming hot for a while,
And golden rays of sunshine danced in your blonde hair,
You my beautiful angel with your graceful style!

Lo! Fate once birthed lovers, golden true and dear.
Alas!

Premium MemberHonored By the Faerie Sanctuary Day Parade

My mossy ferns awakened, anticipating something wonderful and new.
They are coming, the violets whispered. Their tiny voices flowing through.

Faerie parades whimsically teaching my woodland creatures 
to treat each other kindly,
Sparkly, winged beauties, began prancing across my land bridge,
“animals, keep behind thee’.

Faerie whisper reverent, a tribute to me?
 Or the gentle orb of sunlight peeking through

Trump Has Been Honored Horn Limerick

Trump Has Been Honored Horn Limerick

Trump has been honored by having a history
Of making all of our lives a living misery
What little privacy we have does invade
With his face on TV they wade and parade
All of his hot air has become quite blistery.

Interesting how I have fourteen avid readers
Are prominent people and are all leaders
And
