Long Grinning from ear to ear Poems

There are roads that seem inviting in the light of day
Only to cast its eerie shadows when the sun begins to go down
Engraving a revealing legend after the darkness has given way
To the blood curdling...

My father had been out of work for way too long.
At night, I often heard him and mom weep
Food was scant, but love was strong. 
As was that hunger pain when I lay to sleep.

A long time passes and I am still here
Silently insulting, brutally weeping
But then I lift my head from the ground
To see him standing there
Towering over me in all endeavor of quietude
Was he there the entire...

Tonight we sit ‘round ye ol’ Christmas tree,
But not the tree of yesterday or yester year you see.
Lights shine from the bole and tips so free.
We do not sit on stools or bended knee,
Nay, we...

Almost as if the day is saying What...

"Another Man’s Treasure"



Jetsam tumbles
broken doorbells
no one
answers
anymore

ironing boards 
pressing to imprint
something of significance
a life, your life
droll and predictable

it all sinks 
to the bottom 
of a bad dream
with yesterday’s 
stale tears

sharp heels
clicking on a parquet floor
like knives...

The Ego is a funny thing
Tell you what you want to hear
Have you grinning from ear to ear
It’ll assure you of everything

It’ll drive you to achieve
Make you look cool, Make you look mean 
The ego’s...

Appreciating nature, and spring's grand debut.
Then out of the window a strange sight caught my eye,
It was a skunk with a bottle...

As a child I can remember,
How kids would point and whisper.
I ran every time to hide,
So they wouldn't see my cry.
     My teacher found me,
 in the bathroom on the floor.

Today i knocked off early
What a day it was
Impatience is riding my soul
Like a hungry horse in the field
Anxious to reach the bus stop

I waited for my bus ride
Singing and counting the minutes
I dressed like...

Rain beats against the window, 
As my little boy leans his brow
And little hands against the cool glass,
Staring, longing to go out. 

His eyes light up with joyous excitement; 
Grinning from ear to ear,
For down...

Last night I dreamed of heaven and I saw the pearly gates.
I saw what was waiting there for me, and it was absolutely great.
There stood all of my puppies each wagging their little tails.
Each one...

To enter more troops further, into Vietnam ? Soon thereafter, he was gone...
An imperfect man born a silver spoon his hand; at least, unto the material...

come to me dear friends 
I am at the sunset beach 
sunset colours are 
meaningfully eclectic
orange gray red blue and green

seated by their side
I can look back at 
summers winters and autumns 
I have left...

EVER SEEN TWO OSTRICHES KISSING

Could there possibly be a single topic
I haven't as yet explored
The love life of the lowly earthworm
Or why most chickens don't snore

And have you ever considered this
Why dogs and household cats

I hear a stranger,
Laugh from across the room,
It catches my attention.
immediately makes me smile,
Without intention.

He laughs again.
This time louder.
My teeth are now showing,
My smile has become broader.

I feel the need to look over there,
who’s laughing?
Who’s...

Awaking from sleep
We found ourselves here
For no reason at all
Grinning from ear to ear

Our joy was short-lived
As analytical mind took over
Encasing us in a cloud of dust
Stifling our hearts playful caper

Lethargy anchoring us in a...

Grinning Like a Possum

By Elton Camp

The president seems to be well pleased
At the last second, victory he seized

The filthy rich will fork over more
The middle class about as before

His enemies blocked him at every turn

Remember the day when conversation strikes
Between the two of us for the very first time
Back then, I had no inkling of your likes
The way you know not of my love for lime

Remember the day when...
