American Dream

Open-top convertible

Premium Member Wanting What Was, Having What Am

Yesterday, I was 61. I was young and spry, :).

But today, I am 62. I am old and slow, :(.

Wanting for what I was, :(. But having what I am, :).

PONDER


Live each moment well
Love holds each bold spell
Zest knows how to tell

winter sun
 shines on snow drift
 deep footprints
     ~~~
 freezing rain
 upon the sidewalk
 slippery slopes
     ~~~
 frozen ice
 upon the pond
 skating rink

Out of Midnight

Human foibles,          
Human troubles,
Meandering lane,
Not the same for everyone,
End of the road,
Out of midnight.

Hearts Blushing

Awkward blushes -- sweet qoutings
of words unspoken,
each lightened pause awaits, 61....
Glances shy, as hearts pour a thrill
beneath blue clouds
puppy-eyed as we are.

all together,
clasp 
       hands
round and
           round
dancing,
enjoying
        life
        at pace,
communing
        as one
in this race....
       of life

Jesus

He went through 
The towns and villages 
Preaching the gospel 
Of the kingdom, 
Setting the captives free.

Highway 61

Maintaining his distance,
Dylan felt safe 

A musical drifter
not born for one place 

His words once released,
to live on their own 

The road calling windward
—far from his home  

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2020)

earth turned bald.
skyscrapers loom bold.
waste hideously piled.
toxins profusely spilled.
nature cruelly defiled.
we stand greatly appalled!

Triangle of death
    UFOs- maybe reptiles of space ?
    Unexplained powers

    A story well told
    Questionable assumptions
    Who knows the answer ?

Sunshine

Mere thought of you makes me shiver. 
Please say you love me too forever. 
For, my sun began to shine 
when you told me I'm your sunshine.

I Tossed the First Stone

Would my life be happy if I had never known the quavering ripples I caused by tossing that first stone Tranquil waters of a lake, would never slake my thirst March 31, 2023 Bite Size Contest no.61 Poetry Sponsored by: Line Gauthier

Premium Member My Committed Heart Unto the Lord-

May my heart be fully committed To the Lord my God so committed That I am to live by his decrees And obey all the things He's endowed upon me My life, my love, my soul, belongs to Him

Untitled #61 / 91.9 Fm

The radio announcer lady on 91.9 FM
sounds about thirty-five years old. I wonder
how many hearts she’s broken in her time
and, for that matter, how about you?
Try to count them all up,
Two? Twenty? Two hundred thousand?, then 
give yourself forty lashes,
because it’s all the same.

Happy Birthday, Matthew

Today is a great man’s birthday
I wish he were here to know
That not a day goes ever by
That I don’t love him so
He means, not meant, the world to me
He’ll always be close by

So, brother, Matthew, in Heaven you are
Happy Birthday, I say, with teary eyes

Obesity has been growing in the past 20 years
But health officials were shocked by a 1999
Study that revealed that 61% of the population 
 Either overweight or obese
Obesity linked to diabetes
Heart disease

 Osteoarthritis and cancer
The effects of obesity cost Americans $100 billion per year

Premium Member In God's Army

I cry but yet my eyes aren't wet
I am old yet I'm well kept
I am sure but yet confused
I laugh but yet I frown
I'm young but I'm over 61
I am  all that I am to be
I am in Gods army
I am old yet I'm well kept
Praising God even after sunset
I am in Gods army
I am  all that I am to be
I am in Gods army

Premium Member Where Angels Sing

In quiet stillness, the heart rejoices In still calmness, the spirit sings praises In calm silence are heard angel's voices In silent hush, their soft tune amazes In this hushed tranquility, time is stilled In tranquil quietness, dreams get fulfilled.

61 Leaves

Note 16. 

61 leaves 
Bright orange leafs dance,
Seasons changing, nature's art,
Late night drives, love's warmth.

61's winding,
Whispers of memories past,
Shared moments now lost.

Fall's hues embrace us,
As bittersweet sorrow lingers,
Love's touch now distant.

Yet, in tender dreams,
Leafs on trees and love unfold,
Moments once cherished

Recollecting You

Now I do reminisce
but not without pain,
there are times I recall
with some tears to restrain.

Reflecting on years
and the ones no doubt lost,
realities turn
my emotional cost!

Carry on best I can
such a wound never heals,
the façade as presented
and the hurt it conceals.

I Cannot Contemplate a Child

In every man, there is a child.--Santosh Kalwar

I cannot contemplate a child--
His essence is much too complex;
Though I look deep into his eyes,
His soul I cannot fathom yet.
Suffice it, thus, that this I know:
A child lives on in every man.
