Lindsey is Olde English for “Linden Tree by the brook”,
A tree universal, celebrated in many cultures being namely,
Doctor Tree, of Health, Feminine Arts, nook,
Of soothing calm, Light, Truth, an amulet tree,
Its deep shade is a knowing look,
Friends see another, marriages be happy,
For Heart shaped leaves do hook!
A Linden was at village centers,
Parks, Hospitals, court hearings,
Lining many noble’s garden shoulders,
Litigant conciliations endearing,
Testimony credible, curing opponent smolders,
Body ailments, “Quarts of Hurts” rearings,
Colds, skin blotches, spasms not enduring!
Volcanoes of bees, honey exquisite,
Perfume fragrance, edible leaves,
Salad makings requisite,
White or yellow tiny petal cleaves,
Linden shade hosts visits,
Motherly care, compassion sheaveings,
Fidelity, fraternity, matrimony, humble wits,
We need more Lindseys less poet leavings,
Lindens increase peace & alertness,
Be a Lert, we need more Lerts!
Trust cannot be a red flag, loving what time one has left!
No one is meant to be lonely,
When one has only left the time that one has.
Normal women and men want the same thing, to share
With the other the time one has left.
A large open heart where one you have shared, leaves
One hurt like a rose brutally cut down in the bud.
The forest the tree's the bushes and leaves, nature cuts,
The gardeners hand held out it is empty.
Empty of harm when all around him is green, green and soft
His voice should be warm to your ear,
people are watching his heart on your sleeve is their snow?
I resent public forums, where all can hear what one writes.
Wanting love is not quite desperation,desperate to love is what
Can keep us yes searching.
To other's speak no more than you need to, there is another that
Wants to know more about you.

Where one can send messages, without other's knowing your happiness
Or pain, your photo is honest and your picture it tell.
I live in the south in Clearwater Florida.
Senator Lindsey Graham is crackers
As are all those Bill Cosby backers
Females are not toys
For abuse by boys
Who are clearly sadistic bushwhackers!
Why do you have to order the blade
Am using it to shave
Why do you want to shave
I shave because we shave
I shave because they shave
I shave because am too shave
I shave so the underneath can be smooth
During the meeting of two body's forming a soundtrack
Lying, and pushing slowly on them self.
What are we all doing here if don't have a part to play,
what are we all doing here if don't play our role on those kids
we called our own,
What are we all doing here if our life is not showing the example we always wish to show the young children living next door,
What are we doing here if there is no hope for tomorrow,
What is our purpose here, if we don't know what the meaning of purpose really means,
Are we going to sit and watch things goes wrong in our daily life, no,
Let's play our part and leave the rest to God.

HAIKU

a word hides silence
a momentary respite
water ripples blush
DON'T FOLLOW DREAMS
CHASE THEM
!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don't follow dreams, chase them!
You will see it in their eyes,
those words, a true lovers score!
One day in your eyes it will be branded!
Loves passion will be truly yours.
To hear those words, I LOVE YOU!
Be mine be, be my ever loving!
Your one reply 'I love you too'!
Our love, we wish on you,
48 years still forever true!
Under the scorching spotlight sun,
this fan stands
fearing losing sight of a star.
Behind, watchers arm
themselves with binoculars.
Our eyes lock.
Lips prepare for
salty launch pad palms
depositing
lover's rockets.
Arms rise carefully.
Wrist rotate positioning
invisible spacecrafts
parallel to the earth.
Hot breath blasts
kisses flying,
floating in orbit
untouched
by gravity before colliding.
Now, one supernova sits
in a constellation
of safe jolts
and virtual crashes
propelled by two who
force breath simultaneously
intent on observing
the resplendent disappearance
the momentary flash
of a first kiss. Pores rise
becoming Braille revealing
how a married stargazer feels
weightless once more.
For Catie Lindsey
Regarding Poem "Unapproachable Me."
There are many things on I must rely
From right now until the day I do die
What my poem said when it is speaking
Satisfy others with what they are seeking.
Why should love in our lives be lacking?
When your once fine face started cracking
There is a thin spot where hair does lay
Not only that it is starting to turn all gray.
In poems people problems will write about
Trying to discover them and remove doubt
And on yourself starting to be more sure
Increase your stamina so more can endure.
What I like best about you is spirit is great
And to write another poem can hardly wait
Do this before you begin to go to bed
Go ahead and write another poem instead.
James Thomas Horn, Retired Poet
Lindsey, Lindsey, Lady Spy
Are you ready for the next thriller?
Can you pin down this horse fly?
Lindsey, Lindsey, princess chiller
Found no clues, no motives,no reason why
Lindsey, Lindsey, community pillar
But you're the reason that we die,
Lindsey, Lindsey, perp driller
Have you been sleeping with a killer?
Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn
Are dating – golly gee!
So when she nails him cheating,
She can clock him with a ski.
His ex-wife, Elin, only had
A golf club for the deed.
A ski should work much better,
Though that isn’t guaranteed.
If I were Lindsay, you can bet
I’d be quite well-prepared;
And Tiger, with his balls in tow,
Would soon be running scared.
Caties Poem
Children play and scream
in a world at war
school bell rings
MY POEM: Tanka
Children play war games(5)
we laugh as they run guns raised(7)
Prized birthday gift toy (5)
church bells, war heroes at rest (7)
Mothers sad good-byes, guns kill!(7)
Catie Lindsey's contest
You starred on Hee Haw and the Andy Griffith Show.
You were talented and people hated to see you go.
You continued to star as Goober on Mayberry R.F.D.
Sadly you passed away at the age of eighty-three.
People loved to see you act, that much is clear.
You were a very funny man while you were here.
You were Floyd the barber's friend and you wore a funny hat.
You entertained millions for thirty years and people loved that.
I'll see you in Heaven but it may be a while.
You did a damn good job as Goober Pyle.
(Dedicated to George Lindsey who died on May 6, 2012.)
Catie Lindsey from out the Blue...
Oh Yes Oh Yes! Indeed 'Twas True...
That Devil was a Crafty Sort!
He'd thought to leave me without Retort!
Quite tempting bit o'fate that Ace...
His slight o'hand his set o'face!
But Aye...'tis true all said and done...
'Tis He not me that wager won!
Thus 'tis only rightly so I'd paid that Devil his due...
So now cursed for all o'time...
To e'er speak in song set simple rime!
