Inside every one of us there is a hidden gem.
That best of the best buried deep within.
It is that person who sparkles and shines.
Through a genuine love for all of mankind.
There is a hidden gem inside all of us.
Which, consistently should be polished up.
It is the catalyst that makes us so.
The river from where our kindness flows.
Learn to be different from all other men.
That's when we'll discover our hidden gem.
It just doesn't appear, we have to search for it.
It let's positive things roll off our lips.
It is deep down inside, we have to pull it out.
Then, proudly wear it like a Rolex watch.
That gem is the goodness that we all possess.
It may be the salvation to our happiness.
The flop and flurry of wide, woozy wings
clatters over dawn hedgerows.
Claws scrabble, feathers flounce.
An ounce of twitters rebounds
into raucous sound.
Here a rowdy cackle,
here a coddled coo,
there a deeply fluted hoo-hoo
all together in a ruffled flutter.
Birdsongs pump up,
light airy balloons into chattering tunes.
The sky jitterbugs a cloud or two.
Listen, listen do,
Listen to the hullaballoo
the mad glad galloping away of a musical play
where the singalong nips
at our ears with catcalls and cheers.
Another teaming twitter and fuss
strikes up its band for us.
Another cacophonic day lurches
as sleepy birds and the wide awake
gleefully roll off
their nocturnal perches.
The 50's they found Elvis
And boy oh boy could he swing
The best part about him though
Is the boy could also sing
Of course there were many
Who tried his bell to ring
But it was only Elvis
That Rock & Roll crowned King
The 60's were invaded
By a drove of English blokes
From the Beatles to the Kinks to in between
The Rolling of the Stones
But we opened up some Doors
With a few bands of our own
As we headed further down
The road of Rock & Roll
We then watched the disco ball
Spinning round and round
As so went the 70's
With their ups and downs
Suddenly grinding to a halt
Barely with a sound
As fast as it came in
The 70's done left town
Then came in the 80's
Without much fanfare
Out went the disco
In came the hair
Not much more to talk about
That's about it I swear
When it came to the 80's
Not too many really cared
The 90's didn't just drop in
It was more a lunge
They called it rightly Nirvana
The day of the grunge
If you were not up with the times
Then you were counted out to lunch
But with the Jam Aunt Pearl made
I could never get enough
Now we're in the new Millennium
With the singers and their songs
Where went the Rock
Did it Roll off on its own
Never did it say goodbye
Before it was all gone
But I bet the bottom line
It won't be gone for long
Long live Rock&Roll
Write from your heart and give from your soul
And hope to cajole a smile and or a drum roll
You play with your words watch them words roll off your pen
Making new rhymes that will you'll only use once then never again
And hope to cajole a smile and or a drum roll

You play with your words watch them words roll of your pen
so please try this form its very rock and roll
Write from your heart and give from your soul
Virginia's abound with hills that roll off her shoulders
Wet rocks glisten on the edge of the lazy water
Translucent fish arching through the cold channels
Silver barbed hooks rusting in tree trunks
Dangling over the water, and breathing life into the earth
Wet like your skin, see-through blue eyes
Making waves as the children pirouette off the stone cliffs
Disappearing into the emerald green and slate shadows
Meeting the cool rush of the river when they get down there
Or that old carp that Lizzy caught last summer but she let go
Swim bladders shining like mirrors, reflecting oily promises
Running after the great blue, pistons heaving in the hills
Soot on daddy's solemn brow, over his gentle eyes
They all come running, soaking and plodding home
Eager hands grasping for the pie in the window
While the last beat of the summer wind kicks around
Makes the quilt with many colors take flight on the line
One more day under the belt, and another notch in the bed post
Sleep like kings, little Southern Royalty
That old time hang dog moon will see you through
I saw the tears roll off her cheek
As i cradled her in my arms
There are no words that i can speak
That can stop this grief from causing harm
All i can do is hold her tight
And let her know that I'm always near
And pray God gives her the comfort needed
So she can get thru another year.
Grieving is hard on any caring heart
It drains the energy from your soul
And only the comfort from Gods Holy Spirit
Can bring the healing to make us whole.
So when a loved one is grieving loss
Just let them know you always there
To catch their tears and hold them
That's how you truly show you care.
A time for us when we were young,
love would roll off the tongue.
Youth gave us all the time,
that was when we were in our prime.

The season that once burned has now grown cold,
And nature has left stains upon the leaves.
I see colors of red, orange and gold,
As they roll off of my shoulders and sleeves.
They collect in small piles on the ground
In picture perfect images of fall.
Wind causes them to scatter all around,
While I rake them together wide and tall.
I watch birds assembling on a wire,
Before they all fly south until next year.
Shivering while I sit close to a fire,
I find myself now loathing winter's near.
While snow falls during the cold Decembers,
I keep warm recalling autumn's embers.

I’m going to break this Beak loose
Got my mind around in circles Duck Duck Goose’
Been through
‘Life’, Milton Bradley
Speak my mind,Expressing my feelings while Genuinely showing the real me.
Have you listened to my story?
What I have faced or what I have seen.
I have had to fight through life, body left scarred inside, outside and in between.
Red headed Black sheep of tha family.
Been through the most and still hold the biggest heart yet they are still determined to break me.
Been told I wasn’t going to be it.
So, I added it to complete my outfit
Snugged it on tight to show my silhouette fit.
Been told, I was soft and weak behind the tears that fall off my cheek
But, my tears just soften the beast.
Before the pain becomes words that she regrets once they roll off the tongue as sentences when released.
We need a place called home
We are in the market for surreal
Real estate beyond the pale
Made of corrugated cardboard boxes
Flip top or not in magic dust
We want food for termites
Something in wood with a bite
By a lake with windows open
To suggestions if not too late
We require walls worth climbing
Views overlooking nothing
A place to call our own
A phone to call a house a home
Give us something to reflect on
Mirrors in touch with lost souls
The lake must have turtles
That roll off logs in emergencies
Build us an outhouse to specifications
As required by law as needs arise
An amenity we can not live without
Turned inside out for our protection
We have nothing to hide from nature
As long as it comes with toilet paper
Trees must be planted roots first
Come with trunks and branches
Must never walk around unattended
Good homes and trees should be built to last
On solid grounds landscapes never escape
Make us living rooms because dead ones won't do
Homes need mothers, plenty of mothers
Twenty two should do but make them roofers
We want rocking chairs on linoleum floors
And chimneys that start at the top then stop
We need a house right now!
If not we will go somewhere else
A forest, a beach, your house for sure
We are clearly motivated
Find us a house for sale
Preferably one already built
We will bring ourselves if needed
We aim to please so start without us
If you give us the key we will never leave
If to strangers we will never get in
The house should be move in ready
It should be haunted and clean
We would expect nothing less
Once bought from the very best
