On another site, I average 600 views a day
My approach is different, more artsy let's say
My nose rides higher
Suppressing farts is required
Ain't no friends like our Soup Poops, no way...

There's an amazing megalithic quarry in Baalbek
A !600 ton stone block was placed, what the heck
How was this possible
Moving it wasn't plausible
The mind boggles, I need to pause for a sec...

Two brothers from Wichita
Borrowed 600 dollars from Ma,
Needing money to pay college fees,
They repaid their debt with ease-
Selling Pizzas from a hut,was a breeze.

Tribute to Don& Frank Carney of Pizza Hut fame...

Quatrain #600:
MAZE


Mind knows the way where joy can be,
Ask love to stay with soul set free;
Zest floods each day with truth that lights,
Etch as you play your poignant spree.

God Has Specified

There are certain thongs God Has Specified
Make sure all bets are covered that you tried;
Wear poker face,
Just in case,
And not be bankrupt before you going inside.

Jim Horn

Preparing for trip. Hope to leave just after

                                   Get up and move it
                            Over 600 muscles
                                   So get a move on
                            Yes! 206 bones
                                   God's gift to man on this plane...

It's that time of year once more.
Let the headache begin.
It's Tax Time 
A 4 here and a7 there can drive a person incense 
yes you can claim this or no you can't.
Everybody hurrying to do it.
File E or by paper, do you want it now or later.
600 maybe or 8713 sounds great to me.
Oh no here comes the irs. 
They Took it all D** it is tax time....

Chelsea’s well paid by NBC
Doing nothing apparently
Is this a charade
For payoffs to be made
Since Clintons adore bribery?


This is a modern form of "tribute".  There is an incest epidemic in the USA.  We're talking millions, and this is only a very small slice.

Not getting anywhere 
writing my poems to make you smile. 
hoping that you will enjoy. 
i'm not getting anywhere 
so i keep writing more. 
points here and points there. 
each page is full of poems i write. 
going from 600 to 5 then 3 and now back to 5 
i'm just not getting anywhere. 
this might sound like a complaint 
you maybe right if you think . 
but i'm not getting anywhere you see....

Birds entice softly,
deep in the emerald green.
Their sweet melodies blending,
my sorrows drifting . . .

A warm glow embraces me,
like a veil of peace from God.

Father does not see the mournful sad tears,
that fall on his mossy tomb . . .

Just three glistening tears.

It's not about the virus anymore
its about not killing one another
six feet is not enough social distancing
I think 600 yards is more like it
or maybe 6 thousand miles.

Until we can respect one another
and wrangle in our hate
we really need a trial separation-
Take race out of the equation
see if our chopped up society 
blossoms or withers
see how the sediment settles
see if the cream rises ..

Are we better off together or apart.

From the depths of her soul
She hears the lyrics roar
Biting whispers in her ears
As creatures shudder
Smeared dark with coal
Demons lurking in the fog
She takes him into confidence
In the palm of his hand
He holds her beating heart
Clinging to his every breath
While cold winds whirl
In silence stirring

James has been to three Paralympics, 
Including Rio, and in 2012 in London, 
He won a bronze in the mixed sticks, 
Of the 10 metre air rifle SH2 prone.

He qualified for that final with a max, 
Of 600 points, but the final was tough, 
So he fought in a sudden death, axe, 
Against Rapheal Voltz, not enough.

He was born on the 8th August 1976,
In Hereford, England, in a small town, 
Dawlish in Devon, but does his bricks, 
At Mandeville, with a 70 medal gown....

New Jersey has a special tree,
A sturdy, mammoth oak,
Beneath whose shade George Washington
And Lafayette once spoke.

The tree was there before, from Spain,
Columbus started out.
The experts say 600 years
Might be its age (about).

Alas, the tree's demise is near.
It's dying and, though faved
By everyone who knows it,
It's too rotten to be saved.

For now, they're just removing limbs;
Next year it will be felled
But think of all the history
That mighty trunk beheld....
