Premium Member my inner echoes from the past, lyrics
Probably occurred about mid semester in 2018 Epic perhaps, there was a missed opportunity? From a challenge contest to pen another poem But this is stuff that men say in an asylum At the time my ideas were a jumble of mess Could this be part of a hero's quest? The state governor jerry was speaking on campus An acquaintance...

Bonnie Brown was in love with Charles, like black pearl clings to night, So young and engaged to be married, like myriad stars, shining white. They were active professionals, dwelling in a charming, bustling town; As warbling charms orange noon, after pink mist clears, with no sound. They had dreams of future and a family, like purple nights of...

Little Miss Mary was thirteen years old, and lived in gold, olden days; Like the longed for future, peeking at past, both of them full of praise. Miss Mary lived in a western town, with her dear Mother and Father; And adored redbirds as daily companions, singing 'til days got darker. Mary loved the magical, motley circus, eager as...

Little Arabella Miller lived in town, but far enough out in green country, To watch the raspberry sun go down, and to climb a lavish, plum tree. Arabella was seven-years-old, and had a three-year-old, baby brother; Like the golden sunrise of promise, and unprecedented joys we discover. Arabella Miller loved all of nature, and the myriad creatures who live...

Rhymes From The Nursery 1
I had all the wealth And I had all the fame I had all the glamour One life could contain I had all the friends And I had all the foes That now sit as equals On the end of my nose I had all these things But one message rings true To have and to hold Is but folly — adieu (Dreamsleep: May, 2025) ...

The elderly Elmer Brown dwelled alone, like a solitary tree on a hill, Loving quiet, glazed life still, in burgundy, sunset moments of until. A widower, Elmer Brown had generations of offspring, living far away, Feeling fresh, foreign breezes, in fruitful terrains, younger than today. Though retired, Elmer had his hobbies, which gave much satisfaction; Like a storm of sudden,...

A snake and a frog
Out of a hole near a pond so small, A baby frog gives a croaky call. But mama frog is nowhere around— A snake lies waiting; dangers abound. The baby frog peeks out of the hole— It knows its fate—no frog would console. With fear, it leaps out into the pond; From there, it finds a way to abscond. It doesn't know snakes...

Theirs was a tight knit community, the kind everyone wants to live in; Like orange...

With Mother and Father and sister, Ava, Violet enjoyed life on Sage farm; Just as lilac breezes, from out of the south, only rove to keep you warm. Theirs was a land that...
