Long Terrell Poems

Don't stop believing in the strength that lies inside,
get up, stand up until you can stand no longer.
You gotta be strong against the fools who misguide.

Don't stop believing...

Christmas was over  
the cold winter winds
blew and blew
the sadness grew.

Mother had passed
A time dreaded for

I tried ever so hard 
to be strong.

I walked into her home
where she once gathered
her most...

If it were not for our human attributes;
good nature,
loving attitudes, 
loving relationships,
caring personalities,
and too our love for the Lord.
We might be on this earth, 
no more than an unorganized cluster of ants,
to follow one another,...

I walked into the kitchen,
Would it be turkey or chicken?

A debate was about to unflold,

To fix a well planned meal,
soon to be a really big deal.

Little Alice
torn dress,
tears streaming,
gumdrops and love,
to her denied.

Little Alice
sits alone,
to view the rest,
wondering why,
Why do the children
to her protest.

Little Allice
cries out loud,
Don't they know, 
it is not right,
for her parents,
to yell and fight.

Little Alice

She stood in the shadow of the big oak tree,
She crying fell to one knee, alone now free,
Her gallant indian brave lover was gone.

Watch the sad oaks bend

For quickly to it I would steer.

Earth's rotation slow,
Sun dancing upon fallen snow.
Through the winter so long,
Hidden among the clouds, strong.
Please come out soon,
You're not the moon.

Hidden behind gray stretched sky,
Why oh why! do you have to be so shy!
You've hidden...

Hop Scotch,
Whoola Hoops,
Metal Skates,
Skinned knee fates.

Tricycles,
Bicycles.
Motorcycles,
Dripping popsicles.

Spinning on all wheels

Sillly phone calls,
Cartoon bits,
Howdy Doody skits.

RISKING REPUTATIONS (written in Samantha's invented form, a poetic trinitas)

Kids and chores so many, I become hazy
Motivation slides, no---then I'm just lazy.

Wondered how you were going
Just a glimpse of your somewhat familiar face

To ease our weary wondering souls

Street lights glowing,
snow flakes flying.

The crisp air so cold,
the presence of love bold.

The next bend in the road,
a story of love yet to unfold.

Coal smoke fues filled the air,

Spring Cleaning

Closet doors open,
Sweeper to adjust,
Housecleaning today,
Yes, spring cleaning is a must.

Windows to wash,
Cabinets to clean,
Dust mallet to swish,
Even on outdoor screen.

As soon as my laziness passes,
My deeds I will again tackle,
First to by a...
