Long Fors Poems

In cricket what is the definition of Stoic?

Who is the limited edition who debunks tradition

Who is the true rendition of heroic?

Pay heed to a rare breed from a special creed

The house of flying daggers

Escape
rondel/roundel by Geoffrey Chaucer

Since I am free, I count it not a bean.

Hello, out there!
Earth here,
how'd you be?
Just dropping a line
to tell you about
us earthlings,
I guess that's what
you'd call us,
if your telescope
things could see us standing here
looking up at you.
We're the Blue Planet, one of eight,
orbiting our...

Ce sont de grosse perles tombées à l'envi du paradis,
Grain à grain, plus luisantes que tout superbe satin.
Leur fraîcheur et délicatesse proviennent du séraphin,
Qui dit: jamais ses qualités ne deviendront ni taries ni décaties.
Tant qu'il...

Welcome to the new millennium
Seven years in the making.
Forever forsaking.
Every year touted as the last one on earth
Yet we all know the worth
Of a dollar.
Holler if you hear someone knocking
On heavens door.
No one lives there...

So easy in love, 
so easily out. 
With the flick of a switch, 
your left in no doubt.

You’re all in charge of authoring a story
Of love and humor, suspense and glory
You’re writing starts with your very first thought
And doesn’t end til your life is naught.

Know, My Dears, these books; your own
There are...

An old cowboy still wore his spurs
As he entered the cool dark bar.
He brushed his jeans of cockle burrs,
Waved his hat for a whiskey jar.

He looked 'round at the Friday crowd,
Smiled and recalled his younger...

Why is jealousy green?  She asks.
I've pondered on that before.
To write a poem about it,
I must think on it some more.

There are so many puzzlements
All entangled in my head.
Those who could have enlightened me
I...

Seem to be so many in God's multitude
Sure do hope that I He does include
Guide me through Bible as I will read
Then for next poem plant a new seed.

I skimmed the earth......... 
In a blur of speed 
The flexed wing...... 
The heart to lead 
 
For, flying is everything.... 
I skimmed the Earth 
The feel of wind on my face 
The flying place...............

Their death day that came 
far too soon
did freeze their love amidst full bloom

Never would angry words
ring out
no regrets brought about

Nothing to say sorry fors and
no hot tears shed behind
closed
doors

Nothing to regret..
Nothing to wish to...
