Premium Member 40 Acres and a Mule

A former Canadian Mountie 

Lost his mule and put up a bounty

Though he searched high and low

He got lost in the snow 

And found his ass in the next county
Form: Limerick


Premium Member Acres of Diamonds

he left his family to serach for diamonds
did not see him for fifty years
the next owner of his home
found the world's largest diamond mine
under the house of the man who left
trying to find something greener on the other side

BLUE ACRES

Blue Acres is where I want to be.
Fishing and writing are the life for me
Water all around me
please give me that river view.


The fishing
The silence
The writing time
The cooking
Blue Acres I’m on my way!

Acres of Tears

Acres of tears
Mark her passing
Enriching the soil
For time everlasting

Head bowed in sorrow
Sad sight to behold
I no longer have
Her arms to enfold

'Tho body is gone
Her spirits around
This person who made me
Is homeward bound.

Black Acres

black acres sorround me flat as ice, and there you are the only light, in all this flat 
blackness the only thing that seems to shine, how I wish I could  feel your warmth, 
warming my life, my body, like you always have, as long as you dont become a black 
acre my love for you will continue.


Premium Member Acres of Diamonds

The sun came up today, 
as usual,
but with a difference.

While we slept, 
rain changed to snow,
quarter-size flakes 
accruing on the wet earth.

Temperature dropped 
faster than snowflakes,
freezing the garage door shut.

Morning brought a crystal cloak,
to cover winter's drab face;
a blanket of jewels,
                winking in the sun.

A  priceless gift, 
from the Diamond Maker.
