Premium Member Oklahoma August
Oklahoma August Miracle Man 8/11/2024 The sun is now up, and the sky’s all aglow. What this day brings me, I don’t fathom to know. I sit in observance, as puffy clouds float by. Quite a big contrast, to a robin egg blue sky. My hope is that now, I see August heat abate. Or perhaps I’ll go somewhere, that I can acclimate. In my mid fifties I retired, and it...

Premium Member The Oklahoma Tornado
I look up into the sky I see it, Getting darker and darker, In those Oklahoma skies. That feeling never goes away of, The past memories of destruction, Pain and loss of life. It was getting closer and closer, The clouds had dropped out of the sky. I could see it the funnel cloud, Laughing at me. I could feel it making my heart...

We all have roots from seeds In and on the fertile soil of our lives Where we are planted to need The place we know as home to thrive Shaped and harvested we live to die As the grains of wheat and hay Kernels of corn, okra and dandelion greens In the grand yield of who we are each day But the winds...

Oklahoma We were all in that building White, Black and Brown Old and Young Americans all His face, we know it well He looks like us America’s son The face of America The eyes so cold, so hard They take our breath away Cut deep into our hearts The Soul of America Laid bare for all to see How can we understand?

Oklahoma City Bombing 25th anniversary 9:02 April 19, 1995 April 19, 2020 Written: By Tom Wright I only hear the silence as I stride, twixt granite chairs neatly set in rows. The 168 chairs epitomize each life, now neath a sea of grass that grows. Today my psyche visits this place, albeit, here, their Spirits do not rest. However, a Monument and Reflection pool, usher memories, as if...

Oklahoma Skies
Oklahoma skies reserve a place for me, when my last breath no longer is, shoot my soul to the stars above, a resting place where I can find peace and love. Oklahoma skies reserve a place for me, a change from years of living in strife, waking up to days of ulcer living and worry, living life in the fast lane of...

Oklahoma Clay
Most evenings, right around supper, when the sky was streaked red right before dark, the old man would talk of Oklahoma- the first time he hunted squirrel, down by Coal Creek, and how you could usually sense the rain, long before it actually started. How he caught a big crappie on the Fourth of July, and how it snowed that same year, first white...
