Premium Member I'D Rather Be In Colorado

I've ventured far from Indiana, the home soil of my birth,
To many exotic and exciting places all about this earth.
I've seen majestic Mount Fuji from the Kanto Plain of Tokyo.
But I'd rather marvel at Pikes Peak right here in Colorado!

I've traveled the rugged Khyber Pass in ancient Pakistan,
And saw sumo wrestling and cherry blossoms in Japan.
The alabaster city of Casablanca I've visited in Morocco,
But I'd rather tour old ghost towns right here in Colorado!

Magnificent Mount Vesuvius I've seen across Naples Bay.
In Holland I've seen windmills and tulips in vast display.
I've seen the swallows returning to San Juan Capistrano.
'Tis more thrilling to see eagles soar the pristine skies of Colorado!

In Bermuda I've lolled upon the beaches of pink sand,
And have viewed the towering Alps of Switzerland.
Mayan ruins I've scampered over in Old Mexico,
But I'd rather explore the ruins of Mesa Verde in Colorado!

I've climbed the Tower of Pisa rewarded with a view divine,
And visited the quaint Principality of Liechtenstein.
Some folks strive for a lifetime seeking their El Dorado.
I've found mine right here in Colorful Colorado!

Premium Member Holding on to Love


Some say it’s a Blessing and a miracle 
from above,
When strangers meet and fall in love,
A beginning of adventures full of exciting 
times, surprises, and thrills all await.
From every outing or date, something 
special is remembered and replayed,
The mind is easily distracted and always
in a dreamy state.

Every thought, positively sweet, eagerly 
conveyed without being delayed,
A rollercoaster of new emotions sends 
the head into a frenzy, seeking and 
searching for inspiration for future trysts 
ahead,
While the heart is lovingly engraving 
every word said,
Without knowing, feelings of love begin 
to take hold, and time apart moves slowly 
and seems long,
Sleep loss, feeling restless and lonely, 
as absence makes the night linger on and 
on.

Be it a spat or misunderstanding, it  can 
cause heartache, so don’t let the dust 
settle,
Every second counts; take some time 
and mend the rift,
Don’t let strife fester and become a 
never-ending battle,
Why stay upset, and why wear a frown; 
remember that dark clouds will lift.

It won’t be long before both start 
humming their favourite love song,
Neither remembering who was right 
and who was wrong,
So don’t build walls, and don’t stall,
Just answer and fulfil love’s call.

Never delay in rekindling the fire,
Compromise is the game, so play with 
understanding, place no blame, and 
forget everything prior,
Enjoy the experience of Love’s quest,
There’s no need to stress, accept you’re 
blessed,
And leave the outcome to time, as it 
knows and always does what’s best.

Fifty nine inch tall wife

postmenopausal galloping gourmandiser

love life yours truly
took Kamikaze nosedive

as romancing the stone statue,
but seen thru Tom

butterball babe resembles hottie
female turkey on steroids without feathers,
spouse already qualifies as Hen pecker
not admirable characteristic

whew, which allows this husband

to redirect pro creative pursuits
where English language

which amateur philologist

most likely garnering posthumous fame

revving up avast surge
necessitating Barry yore

bajillion tattered staind scribblings
indistinguishable from chicken scratch
interlaced with gobbledygook

Premium Member An Unexpected Visitor - the Narrative Style

~Another Fairyland Story - An Unexpected Visitor- Part 1
(Short Story or Narrative poem)



It was very early in the morning when I was just having 

What I thought was a very good time relaxing all by myself

And remembering all the wonderful times that now have gone by

Since another year had come and left again here  in Fairyland.

It has been all to tell the truth not all that great all the time

Since there has been quite some days that I wish rather not 

Remember now especially today when all seem to be so sad.


I was about to embark in another one of my exciting journey 

When all of sudden I heard what sounded like my front door

Opening and right there behold came bouncing in with a big grin

My very good friend and roommate the Mouse, who just been 

Himself as usual said his usual greeting with a very warm hello

And a happy wave of his hand in my direction as he spotted me

Sitting at the table and having my usual hot and nice cup of tea.


This afternoon I was having a very delicious blend of mint tea 

With other few spices thrown in the mix to accentuate its favor.

I wavered my hand at him and smiling I said hello to him too and

Asked him to stepped in the dining room and invite him to have 

A nice cup too and he told me grinning that he would be more 

Than content and very happy to do it since he was in need of

Having my very good company and having a good conversation

With me and update me in some recent happenings in Fairyland.


So he came around and just sat in his usual chair, then served 

Himself a very nice warm cup of mint tea too. Then he turned

To face me and started to share with me many  things that have

Been Happening in Fairyland for the last 24 hours or so and I was 

More than happy to hear what he was sharing with me when all

Of Suddenly I heard what sounded like a very tiny fainting little

Childs voice coming somewhere from where he sat and asked

Him if he's heard it too and then just smiling at me he dipped in

Deep into one of his shirt  pockets and gently brought out ...

Premium Member Absolutely Bizarre

There's no greater joy in this old world

than the love of another human being

be they man or woman, it matters not one iota

the feeling is the same to this old guy

of course, I'm leaning heavily towards

the female version of the species, oo-la-la!

they surely turn my old crank and spin my spinner

even curl my afro down below!!!

Nothing compares I say... nothing...

ABSOLUTELY BIZARRE!!!

Since I was born, even the most obscure and yet

an undiscovered creature with six eyes

still instills great wonderment and intrigue

we never stop searching for the newly discovered

the exciting new inventions man has created

or the magical, amazing world of nature

man has only scratched the surface

what awaits us is beyond what we know today

unfortunately, I'm at the age that the exciting 

new world of tomorrow is beyond my limitations

promise, you younger folks, to take care

and enjoy all the exciting new world ahead...

Happy Jack wishing you all a happy journey!!!

Helping Partners Grow

Giving advice is a great way to start;
they may not listen from the very beginning,
but ponder they will until their heart
makes changes and starts loving and living.


Helping partners grow in all their ability and amplitude;
it's a duty and an obligation on your part...
keep on persuading them and take them to that altitude, 
and they will learn and thank you for that!


Some brag about lending their hand with a hint so broad,
to demonstrate how much that individual has accomplished,
but why lay it in the open and let everyone alive know?
Friends never take credit for anything they've given or said!


Helping partners grow by the measure of your sympathy and tenderness,
can bring an overnight change; even a tender hug
is a hope glimmering...when all doors are shut and excessive droopiness
clearly shows in every action, word, look and feeling. 


Reminding others how helpful and kind you have been...
dredges up old vanity and exposes all your credits with intent,
but eschewing humbleness as an estranged, vague secret:  
is an eulogy spoken to deaf ears to get praise for your deed. 


Helping partners grow is the truest example of sworn loyalty,
to make the bonds of friendship stronger and steep them in deep sincerity, 
banishing bad thoughts and exciting the individual's interest in everything...
by letting that mind express new ideas and explore that extrasensory feeling.

Falling Asleep

Bedtime stories rode to magical realms  
night lights turned off her shining smile 
in a blanket of hug and lukewarm kisses, 
a sweet birdsong pulled eyelid curtains
and innocence fell asleep by mummy's side.

Exam time cramming the night before 
a battle of stress to get into college
burning of minds and rustling of books
trying hard not to sleep, scattered revisions
and exertion fell asleep by table-lamp side

Late night thoughts of a special friend
unfolding slowly, inside a dream awake
exciting promise, ablaze heart in journey
draped in rainbow, soaked in jubilant rain
and love fell asleep by a rose-tint bedside
   
A sleepwalking mind in philosophic soul
no more struggle in trying to be someone
a poet in peace building words into dream  
sitting by the shore, seashells of memories
and in lullaby waves, falls asleep by seaside.

Premium Member Never Earned a Big Bunch of Dollars

Oh what a beautiful morning
The sun is shining bright
If they told me I won a million dollars
I couldn't exhibit more delight

It's one of those days, full of fun
Filled with happiness and joy
Just found out I'm the proud poppa
Of a bouncing baby boy

Sorry, just recalling what it was like
Back in my younger days
When everything was new and exciting
Life in it's opening phase

Oh to go back and experience it again
Wondrous days of my youth
Wait a minute, might want to reconsider
If you really want to know the truth

To go through all the good times again
Have to also go through the bad
Perhaps instead I'll forget about all that
And just appreciate what I had

Oh what a beautiful morning
The sun is shining bright
Never earned a big bunch of dollars
But happy at bedtime each night

Premium Member Memories

                                         Many have gone
                              Family, friends, sacred and godly 
                                  Leaving moments as mates
                                    Inspiring and motivating
                                  Placing life before the eyes
                             Far from imaginations and dreams

                              Memories allow to relive the life
                                     Past turns into present
                              Pleasant or pesky; good or bad 
                                    They are an experience,
                             A bunch of events and encounters
                                      More of a realization

                              During a bout of severe adversity
                               I recalled my late father’s skills 
                              Deriving the combating courage
                              During the exciting spell I found 
                          Memories are not mere mental spurs
                          They are concrete recitals of the self

                            I admire the nature for bestowing
                             The power to preserve the past
                            An attribute that grants continuity
                                 An association to the gone
                            Rejuvenating the hearts and souls
                               With wonders, smiles and grief 

                              Life is palpable, candid and real
                               The moments are never dead
                         Past does not dissolve the personhood
                           We are a symphony of eternal notes
                             Old songs remain inside the heart
                          Mystifying melodies resonate at times
