Land of the Once Scorned

Past the Darling plateau, down yonder
Through the docile jarrah trees
Where the wildest flowers wander
To and fro adorns the breeze
And the quietest fields of daisies mourn
The bodies of those once scorned
Safe away on endless tether
Awaits the region of the nether
Out there they’ll take you by the hand
Led through fields of peaceful land
You for they and they for you
So come along, your time is through

Over any township shire
Away, away all you once scorned
Hear the distant beckoning lyre
Away, away awaits the dawn
No more hands to lead astray
No more eyes to judge away
No more petty, petty scorn
No more single-visioned minds
Come along, away, where acres
Judge thou not, and undertakers
Lead you and return in kind
Out there they’ll take you by the hand
Led through fields of peaceful land
You for they and they for you
So come along, your time is through

Way out past your lowest dreary
Lower than you’ve been before
Blissful drifting solemn weary 
Resting there forever more
Ask not they pity, ask not they mourn
Ask not remembrance of those once scorned
Safe away on endless tether
Awaits the region of the nether
In your body, in your mind
Within those fields and in those behind
Out there they’ll take you by the hand
Led through fields of peaceful land
You for they and they for you
So come along, your time is through

Past the Darling plateau, down yonder
Through the docile jarrah trees
Sprawls the land of those once scorned
Where the wildest flowers never squander
Never judge to be appeased
And the quietest fields of daisies mourn
The bodies of those once scorned
Out there they’ll take you by the hand
Led through fields of peaceful land
You for they and they for you
So come along, your time is through

Time Enough

in our measure of time 
there are curious circles filling our days, 
numbered moments marked by the scars of transiting lights, 
heavens moguls of tribulation 'n plight, 
that give or take away --

the indifference of time that measures man, 
in cycles round 'bout heavens span, 
meted out in lines that grid the world 
in constant sorrow, Saturn stuttered, 
disappearing today in some further loss of tomorrow, 
yet we also know that ticking clocks in circles go, 
'til time enough for love is lost to reasons chains and at what cost;

the God of Time in cycles go, around, about, a-circling slow, fast re-turned, 
they come, they go, there's time enough for love you know.

though I spend my time, 
scanning the horizon with my mind's eye, 
seeking the curve of her Venus belt, 
a circumference of sunset reds spanning the sky, she is on the face of it, 
a timeless piece, a swinging pendulum of rhythms sway, 
a clock that circumscribes my day, 
and in the sanctity of the night, rolling 
on a sweat-slippery field of red-ocher bliss and
kissing with the same kiss, it's just then
 as I watch her rest,
         

               time stops

                     and takes my breath away

Tapping Out the Rhythm

I was slowly drifting nowhere; this side of bump and grind
While all the time I noticed, myself I couldn’t find
And as I floated like some driftwood; on this rivers tributary;
I desperately was reaching out, for perhaps one last Hail Mary;
           Then coming from the rivers bank, was a song I can’t repeat
           And all the birds were keeping time, by shuffling their feet
           So I paddled towards the tree line, to escape the summer’s heat;
           And I noticed they were keeping time, to some unknown beat
So I twisted and I tangoed and at midnight I did waltz
 And I revived the faint of heart, with some smelling salts
So I step now with direction, but sometimes I’m adrift
And I wonder will I ever know, about the things I missed
           The thing that I now realize, as I’m coming round the bend;
            Is the people that I’m thinking of are the ones who were my friends
           And if my time should run out, and it seems I’m lost again
           I’m hoping I might have the chance, to try it all again.

Timmy's Dream

twas the night before Obamaness
and all throught the house
not a creature was stiring
not even a mouse
all the democrats crept to their beds
hopping that tomarrow they'd have 
a brand new head
all the republicans will scramble late into the night
for sure their going down, but not without a fight
all the independants still in shock and awe
still pondering questions about who should make the laws
rarely has a voting booth given time to great pause
never in our life time has there been so great a cause

tis the eve before election
and we look for those who will make the selection
is it the man with the clearly best argument
or is it the way their lives were spent

go joe biden, go bill clinten, go clair and colin
lead us to a better day, bright clear and golden
go american citizen with determination and heart
go give our country a brand new start

i wish Tim Russart were here to see this very day
He probably already knows what will happen
election day

It's a Long Climb

Under a blazing 
sun
    we march up the mountain
Weary, we pause and 
take deep breathes
     fill our lungs with the mountain 
air
   It's a long climb 
We have been thinking 
      for some time 
about making this climb
  We dig deeply into 
ourselves
     and continue onwards
                    Our legs 
                     are tired 
      but bright spirits 
that we are 
         we will not give in!
We are moving up 
towards the heavens 
          Towards the goal
     we know
 to be our own
     Birds flying above 
gaze down on us 
     What do they think of our poor earthbound 
selves?
It's so quiet here 
Taking in nature's stark beauty 
   we make our ascent 
and head up to the peak
Doesn't seem like 
  we will ever want 
to descend
Yet all journeys come 
   to an end
After the peak has 
    been reached 
It will be time to 
   head home
Where welcoming smiles 
  and outstretched arms 
await

RHYTHM AND RHYME

Often times it seems to me,
That others do not often see,
Poetic licence has it's place from time to time.

Often they will mark some off,
And mayhap give a little cough,
When for flavor I will use it in my rhymes.

They think sometimes that I can't spell,
And often they are wont to tell,
That they think my rhyme and rhythm's off a bit;

But it depends on where you're from,
How the count in words will come,
For dialect has much control of it.

How the word itself's pronounced,
Gives it measure, gives it bounce,
And the rhyme and rhythm will come to;

So figure on who wrote it,
And the accent there will show it,
Does have rhyme and count and rhythm will ensue.

                                                                       Judy Ball

No offense to anyone. I wrote this a long time ago. Not complaining about anything, 
just writing a rhyme and pointing out a truism too.

Hope y'all like it.

If Only Life Was Like a Parking Meter

If Only Life Was Like a Parking Meter

By Elton Camp

When time on the parking meter grows shorter,
We can keep it going by putting another quarter
That means with a minimal amount of attention
We can maintain an indefinite time extension

But there is nothing simple like this so that we can
Nearly so quickly and easily add to our life span
Age or accidents play their part and it is required
That the red tag will arise and our time has expired

Premium Member Punch Drunk

I remember how it was,
the first time 
I got into the ring,
with a more experienced boxer,
I hadn't a clue,
of what to do.
Pummeled from one side 
to the other,I took
the loss, licked my 
wounds and understood
where  I went wrong.
With a few simple moves,
slip a punch here,
counter there,
I was beaten occasionally
but never badly and
I understood clearly
the reasons when I lost.

In the ring of life
and emotions,
I am continually sucker punched,
the original
rope a dope,
half the time 
on my back,
I never see it coming.
I keep climbing back in
without a clue
of what to do.
