Small town hick watched a romantic flick
Ate his salty popcorn really quick
Floor of the theater was sticky thick
Stepped on the toe of an old friend named Rick
Angry Rick told his big brother Dick
Dick recruited their second cousin Vic
Vic said fighting is mean and sick
Ignoring the slight is the real trick
I
I travel alone, sometimes with Wendolene
But shorter trips done alone if I feel bored
I talk to weeds. Some bear brilliant buds, beings
II
Little rocks jump up and converse, too -
Take me home, paint a cross, for children
Call it your little rock ministry
III
Across the miles, weeds & rocks console me
They nurture what's hurt, need another touch
Not always human, but more sensitive?
~ Autumn Has Come ~
( Rick's 32 )
~O~
Autumn's come
Weather is cool
Trees change hues
Gold, browns, copper, greens, reds
Trees start losing their leaves
Leaves then fall
Sometimes they soar
In the wind
~o~
Autumn's fun
Great Holidays
Pumpkins, masks
Adults, kids, have great time
Halloween's a fun night
Treat or trick
Then celebrate
Thanksgiving
~o~
Yes, autumn's
At last is here
I'm happy
No more sweat, hot weather
Relax, eat piece of pie
Have good time
With family
And Thank God
~o~
For all friends
For everything
Autumn's come
Is a time of Thanksgiving
To look back and Give Grace
Summer's gone
But be glad that
Autumn's come.
~O~

~Author's Notes:
' The Ricks' 32 ' is a poetry style created by Erich J. Goller (Vienna) in 2008.
Can you ? ( Poetic Form: Rick’s 32 )
Don't think I've
powers to pass
on my thoughts
for you to your mind with
no words. Yes, I'm trying
to rehearse
all words which
want to say.
But, never
had courage to
say my mind
to you; whenever I
see you from distance, feel
my throat is
so dry, I can't
speak a word.
Tell me, how
can I convey
my feeling?
Do you understand what's
going on in my mind?
Can you not
read my thoughts, why
should I speak?

~Reading And Learning ~
( Rick's 32 )
Books are just
So awesome
They open
So many doors
With books learn much at home
And anywhere I have them
They come in many sizes and
Diverse subjects
Colors and
Black and
White
~0~
Books are great
Can't say enough
Of all them
Imagination run
Wild with them, never bored
They have much in store for us all
Open one see for yourself
With one you like
Can't go wrong
Can't put
Down.
