I Walk a Million Miles

This poem is dedicated to the one I love

Today I walk a million miles.
I walked a million miles,
I hump this ruck all day
I hear the small bing and ding as the straps begin sway
the sound of the desert winds begin to blow.
the sand begins to swirl.
I walk a million miles for this I do not know, 
As Tiny drops of sweat begin to roll, these tiny drops of sweat are much like us you know, as these tiny drops begin to flow, they roll down my neck arm and legs for where they go is just unknown.
I walk a million miles 
For this, I do not know
I feel so very tired and begin to slow, but with each step, we press on, with each step we must keep marching on, step after step searching looking, searching for what it's really not known.
I walk a million miles 
the feeling of fear is really clear, the feeling of fear is thick as smoke and stench begin to fill the air.
the sand is blowing and swirling all around.
I walk a million mile for what, it's really not known, we hump these heavy ruck's that cut you to the bone.
I walk a million miles for this, you will never know, but as we keep marching, humping these ruck's
sweating tiny drops that roll and go to places we do not know 
we keep praying, that we will make it through the day.
I walk a million miles, for this I do not know, protecting freedom land 
For this Is, I do know.
I walk a million miles as bullets fill the air,
the smell of sulfur is thick in the in the noonday air 
I'd walk a million more so this you will never know.
I walk a million miles, for this I now know, I never want you to see these things, or smell the stench I've known. I never want you to feel the pain or the hardships that I've endured.
I've walked a million miles but I'd walk a million more, to save you from the horrors to keep freedom on our shores, for these things I will endure keeping the enemy away if it takes my life to ensure this it a small price to pay. I've done it all for you, the ones I love the most so you will never know, the ugly horrors of war, for this I have endured
to keep freedom on our shores.
But I've done this all in love for you and I'll walk a million more
to ensure ole glory never falls and the bell sounds of freedom never fade. 
Duty Honor Country I'll walk a Million more

Rugby Grass Roots

The grandstand is gelid by a sharp wintry breeze
Carried off from the field are the last of dead leaves
The shrill of the whistle, muffled calls from the crowd
From the tunnel stampede, metal studs echo loud.
With high, flick-tossing coin each Captain his reason
To kick-off with his mates a new rugby season.

The kicker announces starting ball high and long
And on lumbering wind sings a rugby man’s song.
Fifteen players below impatient stand waiting
Eyes fixed to the heavens, the ball falls rotating.
To arms of the hardest with sweetest possession
Grueling match has begun— the rugby obsession!

Steaming bodies in scrums, deep grunt of engagement
Weary boots grappling earth now frozen like pavement
By tackle-ruck-lineout, each man one-and-for-all
With a powerful push a try-bound rolling maul.
Players leaping for joy, heads of others hang low
Elation, deception such do rugby games go.

So Grand Final is here, a long winter has passed
The crowd and the speaker say it happened too fast;
Cut-throat right to the last; Wing, Second Row to Prop
A try, then conversion, to make every heart stop.
(Far left of the uprights flew last quiet ball spent
but with westerly drift over black dot she went!)

…

And with sweet summer grass blowing crisp in the sun
where butterflies frolic, spider webbing is spun
White sidelines are missing, fields all ripe, rich ‘n’ green
Rugby season has passed, but young spirits are keen
A rugby ball punted, a lone boy, polished boots
To play for his country, his dream built on grass roots.

Resolutions

I started this year with a bid to get fit and healthy
Loosing at least a stone -that to me is wealthy
So, to a gym, swimming pool or zumba
..do I lumber
Absolutely NOT - let’s be radical and try Army Fit..
High intensity training - don’t be soft - don’t be a t..

I’ve not down experience for a while
But this, making my muscles ache makes me smile
No fancy equipment, just mats, weights, ropes, tyres and balls
Which although bones achy - helped me walk talk

Six weeks in -then disaster struck
I felt I was at the bottom of a 6 Nations rugby ruck
A simple sprint at the end of the training session
Was an unbelievable lesson
Of how sport can sometimes not be good for you..
Bang went my achilles in my heel
Which started the unfortunate medical wheel
Although I tried going to work the next day
After driving, trying to concentrate, I did have to say
I’m temporarily giving in..I’m in real pain

Work have been great
I and they recognised I am in real state
Scans and X rays lead to crutches, bandages, a boot and pain medication
And now sitting with my leg raised on the sofa - that is my new and boring station.

However, I have to try and be positive- firstly the pain relief has got to go
It’s making me sick and head slow
Then I will begin to think clearly
And go to the Physio - and learn exercises that I will hold onto dearly

I’m down but not out
And although my aim was to be lean- I might for now have to carry on being stout
Until of course in time I will return to being healthy
I will again think stealthy
Of a new way of being fit and mentally wealthy.

News In the Literary Review

Eight authors were killed today,
some of them, somewhat prominent,
and an unknown number were injured,
when a very large crowd of words
came rushing toward them, and 
crushed them under the throng

Hundreds of onlooking readers were aghast
at the sight of surprised writers, 
running from the tens of thousands
of words, phrases, and stanzas shouting
loud rhyming, some carrying sharpened prose

A bloody mass of heaping humanity 
was cast over the civil edge into 
a brownish-reddish swaled blog beside as
poets, slammers, and lyricists fled

Many widows and orphans sat beside the ruck,
weeping softly near the edges of their pages,
stunned, stupefied, even utterly dumbfounded 
as multi-syllabic words flashed their anger,
and chased the writers to a gruesome end

Diphthongs and anagrams on the scene said
that they'd never seen such a riot of language
or a plethora of grammatical constituents
rise up against their mortal masters

The literary community is expressing
their deepened sorrow and angst with 
a spontaneous outpouring of pens, pencils
steno pads, and small digital tablets
left at the scene of the rampage

Editors, secretaries, and linguists unified 
to say that the guilty will be found, caught, 
and expunged from the lexicography of 
modern civil discourse and authorship
"Words cannot express our feelings" they said

The Unknown Fruit

Silent waters always are said to run deep;
And looks often end up in deception
As  venturesome finds do in exception
Bring forth reward to cherish and keep 

A trekking crew found on an desolate hill
An odd tree with feathery leaves wide spread,
And plump, tempting fruits coloured  red ;
For a while the dazed gapers  all stood still ....

The younger ones rushed forth to pluck ,
Before the slower few could warn or prevent ,
And lavishly bit off with wild thrilling content ;
Wildness now overpowered the lagging ruck

Moments of ecstasy did there prevail  ;
Like the Greek heroes on the Lotos island,
Each was lost in the indrawn wonderland
And every spell was slothful and under sail

Oblivion covered up the place and time
Thoughts and senses  to  iceberg  had frozen ;
Trusted arms and fingers refused to fasten ;
Order, rhythm, and breath lost their prime

Chance and daring had brought them there
Temptation did prompt the eating of it ,
Smothering and closing all ways to quit ;
Everything lost and nothing found anywhere  !

Living has its own marked margin and domain
No courage dare cross Nature's  set  ambit :
Taste or possession of things odd is  out of wit --
Perhaps trying the forbidden fruit over again  !

Rhyme but no Reason for Treason Silly Season


Damn it the planet’s on fire

Concerning..right down to the wire

Burning on its funeral pyre spire


I’m for turning.. where’s the messiah?

A heavenly choir…so we can aspire

That learning will finally inspire

An endless yearning desire

Of spurning this friendless quagmire


Discerning things are rather dire

Churning of the palaver and ire

Mother nature does surely tire

Should be the crier & trier

Of another returning frequent flyer

Corporate pariah..or so called high flier
 

Deranged global warming denier

You can tell its hotter...getting dryer

The climate’s changed.. you liar

Mining anything shining..find a buyer


All about earning..will just retire

With their bounty…a comfy county squire

Or dicey fiscal rascal friar

Got devious egregious previous & prior

Pampered dining on pricey lobster & samphire


Us out of luck..stuck in the muck & mire

Tampered temperatures soaring higher

But no ruck ..chuck the entire earth in the fryer

They’ve scampered…we’re hampered in the briar  

Does appall …no truck with their gall…yet remain a complier

Insane what they pluck.. yet we all still call them “Sire”

Those holes

Dodging one here, dodging one there,
Riding along without a care.
    Three in a row, which way do I go,
I close my eyes and curse the so and so.
    Oh! what a bang, the old van shook,
But at least it is still going and not in a ruck.
    What is that noise? that cannot be right,
I, giving a gasp of utter fright.
    Must stop, foot pedal goes straight to the floor,
And the hand brake does not belong to the van anymore.
    Coast to a stop, must pull onto the verge,
The engine roars but no longer gives the van any urge.
    Beneath the van the axle is in two,
With the stout half shaft plainly in view.
    Side to side the rear wheel wobbles,
Not what I expected for all of my troubles.
    Beware of those holes, the pot holes I mean,
Especially those that cannot be seen.
    Old NED has finally been brought to a stop,
Everything seems to be going to pot.
    At least I escaped the indignity,
Of watching that wheel coming off and overtaking me.
    Oh! what utter strife,
It is for sure, ONE HELL OF A LIFE !!!
