Today’s blessing is inspired by Eleanor H. Porter A novelist I find enlightening and wise And every now and then I like to stop and wish we all would see the world through Mrs. Porter’s eyes. It’s not that when we seek out the good in the world to all the bad we are blind… It’s just…when we’re hunting for the...

The Feared Life of Shadrach Stone
Shadrach Stone had lived a rather feared life. Now, it’s back for him like a butcher’s knife. A man he’d choked in tears leaving his wife, In many relaxed homes Virus of Strife… Hammer that crushed the world of five persons, Though, they had doctors and later parsons, Deeply mourning their lost child The Carsons, One of the silenced by Shadrach’s arsons… All...

Atago and the Presonus Mens
He often told the story of him raising tulips for wine. He bragged about his collection of stored wines which were labeled"Nectar to the Gods" He came into Samothrace to find friends: people to support his affords: as he wished to build a Cob home before the snows of fall chilled the earth. He offered lodging and meals for those who would help him in his...

Premium Member Whatever Happened To Porter Wagoner
Remember the fellow with the slicked-back hair Cowboy suits with lots of fringe? Thought he and Dolly made quite the pair, His nasal voice made us cringe. Yes, he gave the “little lady” a chance to sing On his weekly television show We thought he and Dolly were having a fling, But it was Carl who made her glow. Years have brought Dolly...

Security and Robert Porter
Security and Robert Porter If found to exist was an impurity, Or something hidden in obscurity Never neat, Or incomplete; Clearance not granted for security. If successful check was never found; Having to do with their background; Heard clink, Of missing link; To receive clearance were not bound. Jim Horn...

Elton Porter 1907-1924 (An Ode to Luella and John) My best friend John Molina, and I Spent many a carefree afternoon on bareback, Astride the furious gallups Of our sure-footed steeds; Barefooted in summer and bundled up in winter; We rode and ranged over the northern foothills, Ablaze with mustard blooms in spring, In search of squirrels and sunsets. We roamed and roved like Crusaders, Over those...

Porter In the Street
He wake up early in the morning Never rest till evening Because he never promise tomorrow As his chance were narrow Putting on his torn clothes And mended his only shoes Sometimes no breakfast He have to move fast With his wheelbarrow Taking people's luggage to their destination, if he is allow To make ends meal Is the deal Walking down...

Come meet two of my former patients; A nursing home room they did share Maggie was blind; Porter became her eyes Finding, picking up, helping her He was kind. Her mind had slipped - or had it? "Porter, I lost my comb," said to mate Frail as he was, under the bed he went Crawling for Maggie - deliberate Day in and...

A Bit of Whimsy By Ronald S Porter
Here in the land of blind dogs and screeching pigs, I lay me down to rest. Where predators prowl and scavengers growl, We snuggle like baby carrion fowl in a squalid, rotting, rancid, reeking nest. Where the death-stench and fat flies fill greenish yellow bruised sad skies and, necrophilia is a spectator sport; We contendly feast on fresh slaughter beast then wrapped in entrails,...

Harvest Moon By Ron Porter
Indigo night with violent, violet edges; deep blue mood and, the moon is a silver sliver, a shark fin knifing the sky. Riding on the wind they come with icy eyes and certain cold steel death. The stench of hell is on their breath. And they have come to reap a harvest that sows despair, confusion and fear. Nor, will they moved by...

Sweating Music, By Ronald S Porter
the music is sweating in the room strings and reeds bump and grind slow-dragging dancers entwine oh the fruit is ripe upon the vine and the wine of love and laughter a mingled vintage- joy and tears now are drunk down to the dregs then another round is poured urgency prowls the crowd's periphery everybody waiting for... nobody knows but we'll pitch a fit when...

Quench This Fire, a Retourne By Ronald S Porter
Hold me like you'll never let go; love me, each time, as if the first. Shake me and quake me, slake my thirst Quench this fire-My desire. Love me each time, as if the first; relearn my flesh, again, anew. Discover new ways to excite me; uncover passion's mystery. Shake me and quake me; slake my thirst. Give me nectar; let me drink deep- 'til...
