Ten hut!
Can't let up
Even though, it can get messed up
Really F'd up
Do not get fed up
Keep your head up
Stay sharp, don't get set up
Careful where a disagreement ends up
Heads up!
Many fast to wet up
From the...

Senses
3/28/21
Sanitized a lot of messes with Lysol
Saw it all through my eyeballs
By being logical during daytime or nightfall
Did no good to dawdle
Helped to be thoughtful
Experienced the pleasant and the awful
Didn't always benefit one side or...

The Legend of Nolan Ryan Major League Baseballs Strike Out King
It's not easy becoming a Legendary
Major League Baseball pitcher.
It never was and will never be.

run support.

…only one survived…
…still clinging to life...
...with a history of violations...
It wasn’t West Virginia.
It was I.
And I’m taking the day off.

But I’ve been pummeled.

One each between the posts that

horse drawn wagon from years past
On the side of one
post is attached an old
dinner triangle

This Suit Has Seen Me Through
I'm just a simple man
I wear a cowboy hat and boots
I only shave when I'm asked too
In my closet hangs one suit
Cause it's been there for me
Like a good friend till the end
It's been put...

Pleasant Scents From Childhood Memories
It was pleasant every time we went to grandpa and grandmas.
We woke up in the morning with the smell of fresh baked bread.
Wouldn't cause much for all of us and grandpa to pause
whatever we were...

Rose Colored Memories
It’s easy to remember the good times
Never thinking about the pain
Rose colored memories of sunshine
We forgot about the rain
Times were so much harder then
Sometimes not a penny to our name
Fighting just to make ends meet
But...

A Tender Moment From Childhood
My fond childhood memories;
I couldn't wait to get to my grandparents
During the holidays when I was young.
Their arms always outspread with affection,
Their warm love for us was quite apparent.
Waking in the morning with smell of...

Inner Strength
Inner strength
When under your wings, ill wind dwells
Stuck knee-deep in life’s expansive marsh
Bobbed about by its unending swells
Your curse it seems, is strangely harsh
Then, hope’s decaying carcass’ putrid stench
Ooze from your pores, each and...

Laundry Day
Hooray it’s laundry day
A perfectly lazy day
Where all I need do
Is get up once in a while
For quick transfers
Just a flick of a button
And wait for the magic to unfold
I have it so easy –...

Is the Honeymoon Over

I’ll tell you what gives me a hunch
When I leave for work in the morning
She hands me my luggage instead of my lunch
Is the honeymoon over
What’s happening doesn’t make sense

Hidden From Time
Beyond those hills lie the mysteries
of a small community hidden from time.
Little has changed in the past fifty years,
if one does not consider the paved road
or the telephone lines, some of the few
remaining party lines...

What Happened To the Washerwoman
by Robert(Bob)Moore © 2016
Do you remember Dolly Blue,
Carbolic soap and brownstone too
mam at the copper, stick in hand
to stir the clothes, so they’d look grand
squeeze out the water, through the wringer

Cap Lock Escape
he's no musician
those aren't love songs he wrote
they're computer program notes
I slipped away in the nanosecond
it took him to blink
he doesn't know what hit him
maybe a floppy disk
falling from the sky
then again, it could've been

Cold Water Raining Between Them
Annie has a nice washing machine now
but she remembers the one her

the old-fashioned kind.
Her mother took in washing and when

Annie would become half the...

Pet Peeves
I find that the kind of people that list off their pet peeves
are the kind of people around whom it is difficult to breathe.
In so many words they seem to say ''Everything revolves around me.''

Sewing machine, long idle, gathered dust,
That Singer, that for Mama was a must.
She tried her best to teach me how to sew,
But it was hard to catch me on the go.

Wrung Betwixt the Sky and Sea
Blue on blue
a sandwich
of the sky and sea
clutching on
jealously
to the distant horizon.
They both join hands,
laugh,
and emit their
features,
creatures and apparitions.
Streaming towards you
like they're on
washing machine wringer rollers,
one spinning out and up
the other,
spinning out...
