Cabin In the Laurels
Here at the cabin, there is peace that only God could have inspired – quote by poet
Peaceful thoughts rest on gentle winds
Erasing the darkness within
Revealing secrets of all kinds
Promising joy that’s always been
Erasing the darkness within
Here at the cabin is a ease
Promising joy that’s always been
Blowing softly through the pine trees
Here at the cabin is

Warrior's Lament
Mountain laurel perfume wafted in the soft breeze.
Myriads of flittering birds sang in the trees.
At peace on our cabin porch with feet on the rail
Until a trumpet blast called me to hit the trail.
When at last would come my soldier’s release
To return to our laurels, birds, and peace?
With the martial trumpet silent once more,
All

Fights and Quarrels Cancel Laurels
Always remember the past
That made your life joyful
Forget bitter memories fast
That will be truly useful
In case you cannot assist
At least please stop spoiling
Never show your strong fist
Very bad if blood is boiling
Fighting injects poison only
Into minds that are involved
Avoiding fights help all truly
As problems are then solved
When we keep mind broad
Great mirth we nicely spread
We

Laurels of a Certain Win
To expect sure defeat insures a ravaged heart
Returns without the laurels of a certain win
Dampening one's ardor from a challenging start,
Perhaps, it was better this race not to begin.
Enter each endeavor with the will to finish
First among many equals, better than them all,
Never for a moment let your strength diminish
Before a beginning whistle stand straight

Night Guard Dogs
Hark!
It’s getting dark!
Long gone to nest, the lark…
But for the mongrels
Good nominees for Satan’s laurels,
Just for their vicious teeth that spark,
Time to interminably bark
And liberties take
With canines; uncanny mark
That resilient flesh break,
On their victims in amusement parks
Producing un-amusing facsimile of shark’s.
Night guard dogs,
Forever, I have cancelled night jogs.

Poets of a Certain Age
"Arma virumque cano"
No more the Viking sagas
Singed by the dragon’s breath
No more the valiant charges
Into the Valley of Death.
No more the knights of chivalry
Bewitched by a maiden’s pallor.
No more the sword-drawn cavalry
Galloping with dash and valour.
Who now hears Roland’s mighty blast
As loyally he stayed
To fight on to the very last
Though he had been betrayed
Gone, the

The Morel of the Story
She climbed the hill of daffadils, her hips held a sway. The mountain laurels were in bloom, this bright sunny day. Meandering thru the forest the soft moss felt so light, she suddenly discovered a lovely mushroom site. She was quite happy with her find, the village of mushrooms surrounded by pines. They were off

Rest Not On Your Laurels
R-est not on your laurels
A-im now for more achievements;
K-now other plans or designs,
E-nergy makes fruitful
M-oments.
V-ictory isn't far behind,
I-n the morn of January fifteenth;
L-et the horizon be clear,
L-et it not turn into a labyrinth.
A-spire to greater deeds, enter into the triumph's portals;
R-ise to a higher degree, rest not on your laurels.

The Laurels of Love
When burdened by the weights of my mortality,
Confronted with the fate of fallen flesh,
My eyes behold a semblance of eternity
A vestige of the joys that truly bless,
Descending from the firmaments above
And following the ashes of the night,
For that which bears the noble name of love
Hath raised our spirits to their highest height.
The gifted muses of

If Thoughts Be Laurels
If thoughts be laurels then I'd be a king,
Honing skills in dark alcoves of my mind.
Like muddy waters in a rain-soaked spring,
Life without meaning cannot be defined.
This oaf would a fool for a learned man;
Lethargy my mantra, why should I work?
Begrudge me not fools - ye form your own plan;
My smile is of joy, it's

percent of its oxygen and calories.
The most beautiful image ever seen is the brain normal functions.
