Marshall, December 16, 2024
The machinery of life is too much The tests, the numbers, the x-rays You are the clown cat, Marshall, always making me smile Your white fur, your polydactyl hands that hold mine I hold you now, I let you go, I love you I breathe in your last breath with you. ...

Premium Member You Are a Rainbow POTD
A while ago I read an article about the people of the Marshall Islands, about their language, their history, their fragile, disappearing home. I learned about a word they have, so versatile, so complex. “Iakwe” means hello, goodbye, I love you. But the most important meaning (to me at least): You are a rainbow. And, like the rainbow people in the Marshall Islands, you are beautiful; you are worth waiting for and worth searching for (so let no one tell...

The marshall
People are silent in the shadow of a man, Terrified like an old gran, Hiding like a sardine in a can, While eating with a bun. I notice that venting is now a crime, Even their gut is empty from time to time, Still dreading to ventilate the begrime, Who will expound in every distant tongue? They complain yet no one enunciates, Their marshall...

Premium Member Butterscotch Moon - Cowrite With James Marshall Goff
My hand Wet with tears pouring down my face Reaches out and finds nothing Empty spaces where familiar voices Once comforted me My only hope Is sleep, where dreams, in sketchy Re-wind, promise a glimpse of lost Loved ones, maybe a voice, if fleeting Even, to soothe me Those still with me Look to me for strength, my motor Memory urging me on, focusing On the well, deep...

James Marshall Goff
Jimmy, do you still drive the big truck Across the ice laden roads And swear magnificently at lady luck When she breaks down with your loads Of good-natured joy and faith O you are such a child of insatiable desire This strong defiance that mingles With forest creatures like soul akin This friendly poet of passion that spin Sweet tales of his familiar places The...

Tritina Regarding Marshall Applewhite Heaven's Gate
Why have I come here today? Was it not to seek refuge from the chaotic collapse of our world? Was it not to leap aboard the bandwagon and live forever in harmony, that is before the earth is lost? But why? Why must our families grieve at the sight of us “lost”? Why must we depart from our dearly beloved...

The Freedom of Marshall Gray
‘Twas the days of the ruling Queene Tyrannical land of frost borne shade Whilst a man in foresight seen A slaving soul humble and gay A man called Marshall Gray His lectures soaring in solid sound Come once and every day Spoken wisdom to the folks of the town Many an ear Marshall found. ~ Why in this way we live, He...
