Long Agers Poems

there must be a God somewhere.
In school, I was taught that there is no God
so, I never gave the subject much thought.
But I started to...

my chair was in the path of totality
a thin ribbon about seventy miles wide
moving West to East
it does this because of at the equator
Moon's shadow moves  eastward
at a greater velocity than Earth's
rotational velocity causing...

HOLDING BACK TEARS

Being a single mother is rarely appreciated,
when it is a very demanding, challenging, complex
responsibility to take on and carry on for years.
Who wants to be a single mother?  I chose to.

Fabulous Fifties

is what they called it,

we just called it a good time.

It was a great time in history

to be a teenager, to have our

youth, it was a time for some

to rebel, others to grow up.

I was outside of Philly walking in Bucks County
As I climbed the Tree of Good and Evil
A voice spoke to me about the future
Because of my free will I was asked to make a choice

MY FREEDOM, MY SANITY

Spending ample time with my younger son and
youngest daughter brought memories; sweet,
delightful ones and sad, painful, troubled times.

Here I am catching myself pondering, looking back   
when they were teen agers,...

~ Surviving Hell on Earth ~
      (The Nazi's Camps)


They had seen Hell on Earth
  Lived through it, survived
Tight-lipped through all the horror
  Never succumbing to bitterness or sorrow

Society seems hellbent to chuck, 
the moral codes that hold it fast
so why are we so thunderstruck,
when cruel crimes the tube broadcast?

Once Adam sinned, man’s heart turned bad.
Cain killed Abel for being good.
Sin displeased God...

We're all so beautiful, physical and ignore our souls 
Twinkle twinkle little star, a star never falls 
Smile smile and trouble will seems so far 
Doves fly and toads get stuck in the tar 
Let's...

Sometimes it seems like God doesn’t care,
We pray and pray and nothing happens,
The pain and sorrow get worse and worse and we wonder? 
Does God have any concern at all for me?
But see, God’s timing...

My horse's haunches sway,
Saunter up hillocks and down a valley path,
Above a ridge off and on: a village where some people fish,
Phosphorescent flotsam washed ashore. 

Green embers breathe as if through shriveled lungs.
Wax in contrast...

Stranger things beacon
 these young teen agers
when a bald-headed
professor
saw them individually-telekelically

a girl a Marvel girl
she could perform miracles
can read minds nothing can be hidden
from this red head beauty

a cool tween miss guided a little...

As the kids from our area,
We're outside having fun,
I  would sit on my computer,
And soon childhood was done.
As we grew to our teens,
And outside the sun shone,
I didn't look from my screen,
And then youth...

It's the game of the year
  A contest for the ages
In attendance are celebrities 
  Government officials and sages
 
Ceremony, pageantry and pomp
  As the gladiators get ready to stomp
Onto the field...

When I was a boy of three,
My sister much older than me
Raced me to the teen-age stage
Where we seemed about the same age.

We knew that folks of thirty
Were way over the hill
And their greatest thrill

Duno Brown, you brought orange and purple into my life
I did not realize until I met you how exciting old agers can be.
You taught me to get rid of things I don’t care about,
And to...

Have you seen the poor, giving, putting others first?
Anyone who choose to give, learns to live
Perhaps you see so many gifts in life
Priceless gifts exist for you to pose with
I say compassion, kindness, and gratitude...

Raising a Kid isn't Easy
    You notice that fish don't do it
  Some even eat their offspring
    If you can't control it, I guess that you chew it

White cotton balled Q-tips;
Orangey yellowed fuzzy basketballs;
Purple covered lemon balls, lemon heads;
Melted down into the carpet;
Once a highway in the skies;
Home is where the heart is now;
Wrong-way Jones is left way out;
Salamander Samuel eating raw...

Changing world?

In Peru, they import potatoes
In Guatemala, they plant thousands of trees
drink cacao, sit in groups, and sing
think they are new agers 
the new war in The Middle East began 
because Israel saw the need to attack

My wife is a woman who never complains
  She's up before five to make the 6 a.m. train

When I spill food on my shirt, she removes the stain
  Her feet always hurt, but...
