Riley Park
A dozen willows in the park A shady grove on the lawn Eleven tall trees in the sun And one dark stump in the shade. They invite me to join them here: Yes, I'd like to sit here, The fresh breeze and cool shade, With the damp earth, and the rough bark. In the sun, children play games and laugh A mother shares lunch...

The Life of Riley
'He was a funny old bugger', they all agreed as Riley was laid in his grave, 'I believe he had a wife somewhere', said someone else in the nave. 'Two sons and a daughter', another said, 'I believe they're living abroad, 'A solitary soul, a private man, a recluse', they were all in accord. 'Yet, he'd never cut you...

Riley
A fireball burning from within. Destined to destroy and you know it. But don’t stand too close. You’ll get lost in her fiery eyes. She’s an enchantress but she doesn’t know it. So captivating you’re lost in the sea of her vocabulary. The words on her tongue are spell-binding. Heart twisting, mind spinning, soul filling limericks that have never done more than reflect her emotions elegantly. But every-so-often, her mouth runs dry. She breaks. And you don’t want to...

Riley
“RILEY” it’s been 730 days since we’ve first talked. even today, you’re still as incandescent as when I first talked to you. they’ve attempted to destroy you, crumble you up and swirl you around in Death’s cup. the moonless nights hold your resilience as your shadow dances with pride, proud of the owner she follows. decisions in your life gave others light...

Riley
I've turned into a self-loathing, promiscuous attention-seeker, and you've turned into a drunk, arrogant, emotionless misogynist. Look how far we've come, thriving without the love of one another. Look at how we flourish like the decaying flora of a prize-winning garden. We were better together....

Being. (Composed By Riley Feilds To Me)
There you sit smiling, and it's you I'm watching, but you don't even know, what it is you do to me. So I keep on watching and wanting, every time I look at you, every time I talk to you, every time I smell you, my heart continues, melting, and I am forever dreaming. Whenever you pass me by, Whenever you catch my eye, I feel...

Premium Member James Whitcomb Riley Amuses Me
I suppose it is surprising And I shouldn't let you know it, I've a hankering for the poetry Of that old time Hoosier poet. Perhaps you think his poems with Their easy, rustic flavor Are not poetic offerings Sophisticates would savor. "Little Orphant Annie" Is a favorite of mine Which I have read so often that I've memorized each line. "When the frost is on the punkin And...
