A song at sunrise reposted
He sang the song at sunrise, to the morning dawn
It rose into the atmosphere and carried on and on
It fell in gentle rain upon the barren lands
It moistened upturned faces and was caught in outstretched hands
It blew within warm winds across the marshy fen
Was whispered through the waving reeds and reached the hearts of men
This

Milt Hankins - Reposted
From the Bluegrass, a poet named Milt
Took great care with the poems he built.
With both nuance and pace,
Gave the muse merry chase,
Graced the page with the ink that he spilt.
His posting are indeed a delight;
His shadormas and haikus, so tight.
His repertoire swells:
Trionets, villanelles,
Seems there’s no form that Milt cannot write.
But the real gift for which

The Christmas Mule Reposted
So many years had passed, he was the offspring of a horse and ass.
Quickly discounted, young mule was sold over and over again
until he finally ended up here, in Bethlehem.
Tethered to the carts, he was not a part of any herd born,
just another beast of burden used, scorned,
when his stubborn disposition reared

Reposted Black Friday, Parable To Broad Way, a Narrow Way
This is a parable how so many on the highway to death
Following and fighting over material things
Caught up in this world following the crowd
We have Jesus on the other end with the self check out
Have you found your bargain
So many will camp out
To get a present on a deal
The lines will wrap around
The outside doors

Freezer Mice: Reposted
Those primeval skies, no man ever knew
Ignited, as one massive boulder burst through
Hollow inside, creatures not unlike mice
Strapped themselves in as they plunged into ice
Instantly boiled then instantly frozen
None were to question the planet they'd chosen
An epoch asleep in an Antarctic crater
They wake in the hand of a land excavator
Wires in their heads which meant

Poet In Recluse - Reposted
Originally posted in 2017.
I relinquish my pen before the storm
of her tears falling upon my bare arm
her gentle whispering breathed in my ear
Muse of mine, adieu to your wit and charm
With piqued reasons I have come to deduce
It's time to say fond farewell to my muse
She should seek a new poet and lay claim
for my

He Needs Support - Reposted As Collaboration - Bawdy Warning
Jock stumbled - pals called him a wus
(No injury was obvious)
But Jock bruised his willy
And now he feels silly
With todger strapped up in a truss
WRITTEN BY JAN ALLISON
Old Jock had injured and bruised his man thing
His doc said "Jock, you'll need a tartan sling"
He's now looking quite built
Bulging under his kilt
Lassies swoon when he

Six Relatives, Love Is Inevitable -Reposted
Suddenly,
all four of you, pretty maidens, bonded with sisterly love,
running, all the way down,
through the lush greenery of the jungle,
jump —
from the mossed green rocks, laughing and stealing the attention,
of all those who surround you.
Then giggling and chuckling, across the blue-green valleys,
Continue your unstoppable journey.
Lustrous maidens, move placidly, to four different directions,
bearing your

Don'T Look Back - Edited and Reposted
Fingers linger
Thoughts flying everywhere and
Stumble
Crumble
What was I thinking, where does this
word come from
How is it written
How come that in my head thousands of lines tumble
And not a word leaves my fingers
My thoughts fumble
What was I thinking, I cannot do this
They said I could never do this
Gather my thoughts sufficiently
Succinctly
Talk without stutter or tics
Don't they

Peace For All - Reposted
Pendulum strikes hard - tick tock tick tock
Evolution asks -which way to go
Arms have evolved too
Canines are still there - to cannibalize
Evolution reminds - time is short
'Foreign', the word, should be deleted from the dictionary
Omnipotent YOU has created us all - who are we to divide
Revolution is needed to spread love and peace
Ask the

Love, Reposted
LOVE..................................................
is a moment when nothing else can matter
and if it ended that moment, you couldn't be sadder
and if the person across from you don't feel that way
you do anyway
or..............................................................................
it's...
a moment when a smile fills your world, even after it's gone
and awhile with someone is reason enough, to build life upon
if someone says "I love you",
