Driving alongside the lights.
Singing aloud those lyrics.
Feeling astounded through life....

Astounded by her beauty ...
Soothed by her grace ...  
But sadly she is gone, and
without her I slowly fade....

The gauntlet run I stop dead, astounded.
How can the dreaded deal have been done?
Songs sung low by thin, wispy, wire lips
Carry the melody of my demise....

He gave it to colleague Talulah
Astounded to find
She paid him in kind
And what he needs now is a jeweller...

Picture of Jesus Painted

Great picture of Jesus I just painted,
And when I did they had me sainted;
God did thank;
Not a prank;
I was astounded and nearly feinted.

He said it was impossible but we were determined 
He was astounded because we almost succeeded 
Not the first try or the tenth time but the 28th try 
Hey! The 29th try might be all that is needed....

Margaret is astounded
That someone dare call her prissy
persnickety, uptight, queen

She gives the man her coldest meanest shoulder
his eyes captivate her imagination
her telltale cheeks flush pink...

at your compassion and kindness 
supported by calming words
that forever left me with an
intense feeling and
solemn sense of
being set
wholly
free...

Where did Noah keep his bees? In the Ark-hives
Groaning from my hairline down to my manly thighs
Got an offer from Hollywood
To star in a film bout manhood
They were astounded by my jumbo and sexy eyes...

I sit and look surrounded,
By this subtle sounding wood.
I can’t help but be astounded,
That something so simple could.
Am I free or grounded?
What happened where I stood?
These feelings have compounded,
And their meanings misunderstood.

As I Walk in contemplation 
I find the swiftness of change 
to be unnerving at times 
rules are revised without warning
variations come and lives are altered
deprived of rhyme or reason
I'm astounded by the anger 
questioning change creates....

Are you a queen or a quean?
She looked confused as she was neither.
Why do you want to label people she asked me.
I was astounded.
She was coarse like a quean.
But she was direct like a queen.
Now I was confused.
Having no defendable answer....

Mailed each 2 copies, one to sign and return, other to keep
Received over a thousand

John Wayne, Donald Trump(?) and John Glenn just 3 of heaps...

I was astounded to find myself teaching paratroopers how to jump.
I honestly have never done this before! I said. My voice sounded whiney.
A plane full of handsome young marines laughed in unison.
The impetuous I needed to wake up.  Marines don’t laugh....

My wife has elected to make exquisite,
Gravy including a homemade biscuit;
To table hobble,
And up gobble,
Breakfast which was perfect for my visit.

She was exquisite, dainty, beautiful, surreal in her gorgeousness.
We were astounded, in awe, intimidated, imagining her worthiness.
The prettiest faerie by far, we told each other, and we meant it.
Then her sister arrived -orange and pink the best color combo ever....

Halloween at the zoo
Hippo made a loud pop with his pumpkin
Piercing it with his horn 
Sounded like a giant fart
The children were astounded
Because the adults could not stop laughing
The gorilla was in a bad mood.
He glared at us and threw his poo.
The highlight...

The soothsayer slowly moved her hand over the crystal ball.
I predict a death, she told the man.
I am sorry, but it might be your death.
This surprised his wife, and horrified his daughter.
They were astounded and shocked by this news.
Which is a bit odd
Since he is 91....

Lost a Girl in the woods,
and that which you hug, is the tree.
You can not stretch your arms, Full around it,

While looking upward and down ward astounded.
And your feet become more entangled,
under the skirt of the river bank.
And it's roots are at play with your toes....

One boom,
Excitement; what,
Distraction so quickly,
Anxious to a maximum thrust.
Astounded, wondering, if others heard.
Expressive quiet; following,
Lost, for just a minute,
Bewildered shake,
One boom,
