Gold is such an awesome word
many seek it for all their days
but it eludes the vast majority
no matter their efforts it stays
Poetically with your pen in hand
you ponder many a thought
so to bring forth insightful lines
such a gift can't be bought
In the scriptures a class writer
one such King David was so
the Psalms were his delight
prophetical his words high or low
Being a Scot read much of Burns
a famous bard he did forthtell
packed so much in his short life
so inspirationally rings a bell
Looking at life's direction
finding your golden thread
that's your goal at the end
pen in hand this you were bred
(This piece was written based on
the poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay"
BY ROBERT FROST)
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
It has bee a long time since I have written,
Poetry for me must be "Inspirationally " smitten.
I have been writing a short story or two,
I fear that they are not yet good enough for you.
So I write these few lines to let you know I'm not dead,
As they are the ones that have come into my head.
They are a poor explanation of the time lost, I know,
But are the only ones I have that I can show.
So, judge me not on these few words that I have written,
Just understand that these are the ones with which I was smitten.
Remember too that I am one of the brother "Wit",
I just can't remember which one, "Half, Dim, or Nit."

Sky earthworms are often prevalent at this particular time of year for grassland gremlins grab graphically and a left handed leprechaun in a spiralling dive is neither a duck having some lunch nor a clock sunbathing on a tower in the moonlight. Bing bong then. Eat a nice slice of toast then dance into and around the piles of sawdust. Wow. How a tick tock tick tock is a rock music show in a very fast cat car. Interesting to note how bean plants talk to their stems and a stem can laugh at the same time as delivering nice scented pods. Blooming in bakeries. Bringing breaded butter beans. Beautifully beaming. But no bream. Hahaha digging in a cupboard with a rake. Hahaha number of fish in a queue standing. Xxxxxx inspirationally Z Z Z Z
Inspiration is not a who-what or even a where-why.
In act, I aspire to inspire both what and where;
we can fly.
How flies can inspire flies to fly higher than (all) the other why's.
So what not why say
you and I do inspire you and I.
Why I am an inspiration, so are you who is I.
We more may probably could touch higher feathery skies.
I know I can see the inspire inside of your ponderous eyes.
Fiery nose blind eyes inspire to the what's who's and where's why's.
Perceptively sound minds prospectively acquire inspirationally aspiring eyes.
Over time find where reasons matter for why who inspires I.
Who truly inspires
not only molds why
but keeps you and I alive.
Truth be told...
it is you who inspires I.

"INSPIRATION"
Instinctively innately I intuit inspirationally
Notable nuanced nudges needing
Some special sensuously sourced
Poetically penned prose poetry pursuits!
Inner intimate impulses intensely incite
Requiring rapt real recognition rightly
Allowing all artistic aspects ample allowance
Time to transmit these tremors that try to
Ignite immense imaginations inspiring
Outbursts of oratorical orations obviously
Needing notice naturally now!
