Premium MemberPlace of Pride

Autumn’s beauty takes place of pride. So now Summer’s heat steps aside. Cool crisp air, freshness overall. More comfortable now its fall. Green turning golden far and wide. Autumn’s beauty takes place of pride. The children will return to school. Easy to study now its cool. A carpet of gold and red leaves. A splendid memory it weaves. Autumn’s beauty takes place of pride. Leaves fall, birds have nowhere to hide. Autumn’s beauty is everywhere. The cooler balmy nights to share. Such beauty in Autumn is spied. Autumn’s beauty takes place of pride.


Premium MemberClever Fool

Do not tell me I am but a clever fool I have sought truth entirely unfettered, Finding rules for better living as a tool Among the educated and the unlettered. I have used my brain for wondering Do not tell me I am but a clever fool For spending time issues pondering, I learned to think for myself in school. Some think cogitating is not very cool But many theorems I have composed, Do not tell me I am but a clever fool If you’ve not different ways proposed. Or thought to reason out a proposition, But, always accepted another’s rule To think for you seems an imposition Do not tell me I am but a clever fool.

Premium MemberCrisp Nights, Heavy Dew

Crisp nights, heavy dew, coming soon
Smoke trail of swallows southward fly
Fruit boughs droop under harvest moon
Corn towers up to touch the sky 

Fall speckles in the trees on high
Crisp nights, heavy dew, coming soon
Fat melons ready for reaping nigh
Chill spooks asylum of common loon

Not one hundred by afternoon
Imperceptibly shorter day
Crisp nights, heavy dew, coming soon
Ranchers bailing last cut of hay

Back to school--holiday can't stay
Football practice all afternoon
Prettiest birds all fly away
Crisp nights, heavy dew, coming soon

Premium MemberHints of Autumn

Hints of Autumn are so subtle, like ripe crops, awaiting harvest. And nights that darken earlier, after the dog days of August. Falling leaves appear overnight, hints of Autumn are so subtle. Like a pumpkin turning orange, under leaves of emerald green. Canopies start changing colors: even though October's far off. Hints of Autumn are so subtle: like, children heading back to school. And other subliminal signs; like, honking geese migrating south. Although Fall is celebrated, hints of Autumn are so subtle.

Premium MemberMagic of Autumn

clear cinnamon and pumpkin spice
bringing October into view
fall’s sweet presence is very nice
oranges and yellows in autumn’s hues
 
spider creates intricate web
clear cinnamon and pumpkin spice
produce in garden grown by Jeb
apple cobbler give me a slice
 
quick leaf movers – squirrels and mice
oaks let down their hair all around
clear cinnamon and pumpkin spice
acreage of leaves duly found
 
air is calm, mornings are cooler
Can school wait a year? No dice.
Jimmy needs his brand-new ruler
clear cinnamon and pumpkin spice

Premium MemberBack To School

Some kids are dreading going back to school They fear running into those who bullied them Anxiety is heightened by puberty’s demands, The feeling that no adult really understands. While many are excited getting back to friends Some kids are dreading going back to school, Facing pressures from the unfamiliar routines Such is the lot of today’s technical-savvy teens. Feeling threatened in once a safe environment Bludgeoned with peer pressure and new rules, Some kids are dreading going back to school, Concerned someone might label them a fool. Not knowing exactly whom they can trust Hoping to make a friend, someone to talk to Who’ll have their back, who is incredibly cool, Some kids are dreading going back to school.

Premium MemberWest Jr High: Let's Hear It

No other school compared to junior high.
In grade school I was average and shy.
But something special happened in the year
I entered seventh grade. I lost my fear!

It seemed I grew new wings that let me fly.
No other school compared to junior high.
New friends that could appreciate my ways
I found in middle school.  What happy days!

I got straight A’s my first year, but I was
A jokester too. It felt so cool because
no other school compared to junior high.
To “ordinary me” I said goodbye!

A woman I was turning into. Bliss
was mine with boyfriends and my first real kiss.
I’d learned my worth and great new things to try.
No other school compared to junior high!

The thought that struck deep inside me 
Was cauterized by waves of light
That small stage and roomfull of boys
The candleless moment of psalm

Within deep velvet walls we stood
The thought that struck deep inside me
How a life can be lead by you
The leader, running off with a

Burning bible and wings for feet
Addressing all living things aft
The thought that struck deep inside me 
In a room with a white-collared man

"Make it your own," he declared soft
Like the bite of an old man zen-
-Hovering in mid-grace above
The thought that struck deep inside me
