Young Bobby Lee, loved Patty McGee;
They were married in the spring of eighty-three;
Auburn locks and pretty as you please;
Patty was a looker, complete with sharp tongue;
Her greatest bi-ch  was they were not rich;
Bobby was...

We humans like all creatures to have a purpose, an aim,
From one-celled amoebas to fungi-spore glebas,
They need a good reason to compete in life's game.
Consider cats: They school us in hygiene
Licking their paws and their...

Carpe diem.

Life can turn on a dime.
One moment you may be engrossed in a book and the next,
it's as though time...Time slips away,  taking with it your imagination and civility.
Time steals your identity. 
It fractures...

One eye was brown, the other blue,
Australian Shepard his breed-
a workin' dog with one heck of a nip
to the heels a cattle an' steed.

Just a little fur ball when I got him,
but I well remember...

Killer was nervous that day
after he’d done away
with the uncle he’d made pay
for the evil he’d suffered long ago one day.

His hands shook.
His body quivered.
What was done was done.
Payback delivered.

The blood had been sickening
and the...

The waves they rock
This ship so fierce
'Twas silent night
Now screams do pierce.

The waves they roll
And curl and crash
We watch with fear
On rocks waves smash.

The morrow comes
The sky is bright
Our ship survived
The stormy night

The waves, they...

And My Life Is Pretty, O' It Is Just So Fine

Lightning struck just as soon as I inked those words
Sorta of like a mountaintop fell on my head
But who the hell thinks we poets are...

If what God gives to us should be taken away,
Does it mean we've committed a crime?
Does it mean God's unfeeling, did we play a role
Should our love for Him turn on a dime?

Does the garden...

It's Summer time and I'm feelin' fine,
As the breeze ruffles my hair.
The sun beams down, turns my skin dark brown,
And I smile, I haven't a care.

The birds, the bees, the flowers, the trees,
And weddings in...

drawn the line ever so fine
somewhere between love and hate

optimism wary in the forefront
of caution flirting its blurred edges

the verdict by a thread
loosely hangs in oscillation

dormant danger staggering
lingers behind flimsy curtains

loving you exposes me
leaving me...

You’re only as old as you feel some say.
How will it feel on your eightieth birthday?

Everything’s quieter and harder to see.
Not everyone, just seems like it to me.

Portions are smaller as we sit and dine.
When...

Oh, the sins we commit in the name of progress,
Oh, the lives we ruin in the name of progress,
Oh, the backward steps we take in the name of progress,
Oh, the resources we waste in the...

Thanks to Jan for inspiring this one

She's quickly traveled to the top

With her witty and charming repartee

Her poetry rolls out nonstop

She recently said she was a “student of life”

Hope I can say the same of...

A musk ox was beloved. 
Until it busted out of its bird cage.
Shape shifted into the wind...
Open tundra (harsh as it is)
never tasted so good...
but right on cue the wolves moveD on in.

This musk ox...

Changing your priorities
broadens the width of your scope.
And you start searching your heart
for a faint glimmer of hope.

Luck leaps merrily along,
then makes a sharp reversal.
For life's not a Broadway play,
there's no script or rehearsal.

The beauty...

It has been said that life can turn on a dime,
with patients and perseverance,
I know that it's just about my time.

Many people procrastinate as they sit
and wait for their ship to come in.
I see sails...

There is a bad love condition
That we all know as suspicion
It tears couples all apart
Because of no love in their heart
Their loving eyes start to turn green
Demeanors go from glad to mean

Corner stone
Something to be set
Is it the provenience?
Once set can we journey
From the path
Or is it our only mission in this life
Does God allow us different journeys?
A turn on a dime 
Or is it all...

Have you ever felt
so closed off
It’s as if you’ve been building a wall
between yourself, and the rest of the world
You can huff & puff
all day long
but your never going to get through
no matter what you...
