Long Kettler Poems

It’s all about the art- and not about the chart
About the story being told, not coins or bags of gold

Does it come from deep inside, from that hidden secret place?
The emotion from within, the page...

My dog is not a manly dog,
she’s my dog just the same
A manly dog rides in a truck
and retrieves the hunted game

My dog, she is a lady dog…
when we got her she was small

I walk past empty bedrooms that once held my boys
The beds made so perfect, the absence of noise
Books there on the book shelf and not upon the floor
No ear-splitting music, no slamming the door

It’s eerily...

Seven copper pennies 
Left by the homeless man  
Trash and needles everywhere
While he slept by the garbage can

He abandoned them at sunrise
To him they had no worth
They could not buy his comfort
In this bed...

I rake the falling amber leaves
With cascades more to come
But it really isn’t pointless
To cold grass growing numb

The precious warmth of sunlight
Could mean life instead of death
To tender grass that’s growing
In winter’s chilling breath

Shoveling snow...

When those around me can do no wrong
It’s a wonderful state of mind
When it’s their voices amplifying the song
The most beautiful singing I find

I like myself better when I love them
And the light shines bright...

Would we love a baby’s laugh
if we never heard it scream?

Would we grasp reality
without the vision or the dream?

Would the brightness of the sunrise
mean as much without the night?

Would the trophy from the victory
mean as...

Road Scars

Where we’ve been in our trusty old car
Leaves a tale it can tell
From the dirt that graces the trailer hitch
To the mud in the fender well

Entrails of bugs on the windshield…
Bugs of every kind
Heaven...

Dead Little Bird

A dead little bird, alone on the ground
No open window, no entrance was found
The light in his eye slowly burns out
No riding the wind- no flying about

The rude awakening of glass that was...

Clouds without water in a thirsty land
The promise of life for barren sand
Intense longing from a thirsty sky
Expectation has left us dry

Our fruitful valley the world does feed
But now it's US who are found in...

Just one voice upon the wind
The trees they sway the leaves they spin
Just one man in one brief vapor
Breathing thoughts that form within

Just one voice among so many
Casting forth my latest spin
Sharing wisdom for a...

My friends are convalescing
In their beds they lay
The truth there lies before me
Future come what may

Aches are my companion
Pain a faithful friend
Rigor mortis is a buddy of mine
He’ll be there in the end

The nurse is...

We all live 
under the same stars
The harvest moon 
mysterious Mars

We’re all pretty small… 
under the vast Milky Way
just another speck
just a brief day

We all just want 
a roof overhead
A place to call home
A comfy...

Mona Lisa Smile

A slight grin-more of a smirk
She checks her look
On her way to work

Is she happy-is she sad?
Is she torn
About the life she’s had?

Dreams-some unrealized
Small joys that distraction buys
Sorrows dismissed
While hope and time it...
