A Poem I Should Have Written But Didn't
I walked a quiet road at dusk,
Where frost lay silver on the grass,
And in the stillness, words I sought
Some startled birds would rise and pass.
They brushed my cheek, they touched my hair,
Then vanished into fading blue;
I thought of you, old friend of snow,
Who spoke to silence, stern and true.
Your lines were fences in the mist,
Your

Before The Sun Sets
She is summoned for a cup of coffee
before the eyes can open.
The house breathes her in like incense
sweet when needed, choking when not.
The woman she serves, speaks of justice, of rising tides
but never sees the maid’s drowning eyes.
Carried in her little apron:
crumbs from a breakfast she didn’t taste,
a broken brooch she didn’t break,
a key she’s

Mixed Drink Sets Raccoon Straight
Hawaii is the place, raccoon decided, loving the idea of course
He sold his farm, plow, tractor, combine, goats, pigs and horse
Ran to Hawaii to sit on a pink beach and enjoy the sand
He said to his mixed drink, I have found the promised land!
The mixed drink began laughing and could not stop.
You have not seen

Away from the crowd, I sat on the seashore
Looking at the setting sun,

Be pleasant and be friendly, students want to stay
Walk in scowling with a frown upon your face
Good luck, teacher ~ as students turn away

Silence sets soul free
Upon this earth realm we have opted to dwell,
encased in a decaying form doomed to die
but myriad desires cast on us a spell,
making us believe as true, what is a lie,
being the sole reason why our heart does sigh,
although within this lucid dream, we are free,
if we but unshackle heart from our mind tree.

witch's cauldron sets the mood
witch’s cauldron had bit of a hiccup today
ghosts and goblins laughed about it a bit
Halloween humor lives beyond the fray
Dracula’s ghost appeared with a happy hey
some of the warlocks and wizards had a fit
witch’s cauldron had a bit of a hiccup today
a whisper left my arm hairs straight up in a way
who was this entity?

Before the sun sets
Before the sun sets
A million miles to go
Before my eyes are closed
I just learned how to dream
And now I got my wings
Lots of desires are winking in mind
Hopes are glowing like stars in night
A million miles to go
Before my eyes are closed
I just learned how to walk
And now I got my own floor
No chain,no bond

we get two sets of teeth
horses and lions get milk teeth too
That means baby teeth said weird Cousin Lou
Baby teeth, the first set, like me and you….
Treat them delicately with the old soft shoe.
These teeth are pushed out by grown up teeth
The last set for a human reported scientific Lee Heath.
Snake and crocodile might have more than three sets
But two

Forgiving Others Sets Us Free
Forgiveness is a gift of God
for he is the perfect forgiver
casting all our sins far away
promising to always fully deliver
When we cast ourselves on the Lord
to receive His wonderful salvation
then we can be filled with His spirit
to fulfill His will on each occasion
Now when people treat us wrongly
God wants us to forgive them
true Christian behavior
