Premium Member YE OLDE ICE CREAM BENCH
On my walk this morning I chose to make a stop and sit down on a bench next to a table at this old ice cream shop. I chose this particular bench because it has come to be over many years of sitting here…much more than a bench to me. How can on old bench hold any meaning…you ask? I...

The Olde City of Cork
At the Butter Exchange Is grand commerce in motion Yet be under no illusion Of the merchant’s potion ‘Clip, Clop,’ Go horses’ shoes On the cobble stones of Lancaster Quay From nearby office windows Proprietors observe with glee The little children of Sunday’s Well Are taught a well-known adage That they must hold their balance Whilst traversing Daly’s Bridge Great ships unload...

Journey Journal Page OLDE SJI BRAS BASAH ROAD, 1971 By Leon Enriquez Morning Glory Florals on a fence Violet blooms beauty Plain in sparkling sense Olde school field By Bras Basah Road Boys and football yield To dawn’s purple load ~~~~~~~~~ Dawn now brings Such sparkling creepers Olde tints of fond flings Such transient flowers We recall Days of yesterday Sounds of lost footfalls Echoes of school days ~~~~~~~~~ For a while Till that harsh sun burns Faded...

Premium Member The Streets of Olde Salem
My footsteps echoed the echoes of Time as through the streets of Salem I walked. The hour was early and the city still asleep with only a cat sitting quietly on a cold granite sill, the sky slowly turning from night into dawn, my mind still in twilight as my footsteps echoed on. The Ropes Mansion looked proud as I strolled Essex...

Premium Member The Olde Salt
a frayed brim, jeans torn and worn - faded by sun and sea; a carefree beard, not of fad nor fashion but of living! tears and tears for truant truths dried like the salty stains on a slicker and the vacant hopes of a stare......

Premium Member Ye Olde Folks Mill
For Angie The hallways rotated over and around me, maybe it was that aged smell of antiseptic affecting my equilibrium... Trying to keep my feet, bracing the wall of the room she was assigned with my hand to gain my balance, I was overcome with hot vibrations of past voices, shrieking, pleading, crying out for lost loved...

Olde Expensive
Old Expensive The snow is falling, so, I button up my head, above it, Someone’s sound – “above a street lamp”. Music, leaks in, the lampshade sways, hanging above a stained in bed; Freddie gave it all for champagne. Until, the thin applause fell flat! Outside amongst the frozen sparrows, and the cutting snowflakes, snowblades; I see the monsters of winter, No! I see...

Olde Charlie Part Two
OLDE CHARLIE part two A simple g’day and not much more, A man of simple tastes and trends, Mostly seen most days Three days growth on chin, Olde Charlie, Came from the olde school, Of the way he thought And reacted to most things, A man of the bush, A man with a down to earth spirit, Not caring much for town A product of the...

Neath Olde Southern Cross
NEATH OLDE SOUTHERN CROSS ‘Neath olde Southern Cross sparkling stars show a radiant view, for we will stand in this brand-new land, so far, far away from toil, trouble and strife of a darkness past, where oppressions reigned amidst religious persecutions of our faith, so, in order to escape to a brand-new life, our motherland we’ve left behind, for across the seas we came, where our journey took many in under sail and...

Jolly Ye Olde English Ye hadst ere thyself a jester's hand, Art meek and mild, art a mannered man, Ye hadst last count saith three, albeit, Magic jester, wouldst pence thou didst seeth. Naught thee albeit whence once more seeth, Thine count naught three, yea four albeit, Thy jester's hand be free thou showeth, Yea, thee art game of doubts thou knoweth. Thine swapped...
