Premium Member A Musical Pointer

A musical pointer up in Grants Pass
just can’t get enough of bluegrass
To the banjos and strings
he prances and sings
but still misses the woodwinds and brass

Premium Member Of Its Own Volition

Bluegrass banjos
fueling the vision

Death
is hard to take
sometimes

but it’s not
like we 
ever had
a choice in the matter

It happens
of its own volition

Premium Member hillbilly hoe down

hllbilly hoe down
hard piece of straw in each mouth
bibbed overall dance

banjos and fiddles
potluck of fancy desserts
arkansas ham hocks

hound dogs on the porch
homemade corn liquor from gramps
square dancing parents

loud bluegrass music
pink taffy pull for the kids
toothless grandmothers
Form: Senryu

Festival

This free love session
has made a man out of me
barefoot girls dancing everywhere!
beards and banjos
the young hippie chick
with the flowers in her hair
I'd love to go on a trip myself, amen
said the old man selling brownies
and then the band
fires up and I hear an
overwhelming roar
and I gravitate
to the music

Choice Is Sweet

Since 5 or 6
not picked up twix
A Wagon wheel
All round appeal 
Only club for me is LFC
My name isn't kit
I don't own a kat
Blue is not bad so 
Wrap a ribbon around that
Not the star at the bar
Haven't ran a Marathon 
to mars
Banjos not plucked for years 
Galaxy's are safe
They won't crumble or flake when looking at milky-way stars

Premium Member He's One-Year Old

A boy with a toy, a girl with a curl
  each more precious than a necklace of pearls
Birthday boy's face all covered with cake
  blew out the candle, then took a break

Mommy is hopping from kitchen to table
  Dad's helping too, as much as he's able
But grandma and grandpa are the stars of the show
  Playing 'Happy Birthday to You' on dueling banjos

Some Days

Some days need more hours.
Some meals need more wine.
Gardens need more flowers
If their bulbs are in decline.

Some walls need more hangings.
Some food needs more spice.
Banjos need more twangings
So their music will entice.

Some homes need less clutter.
Some rooms need more light.
Bread may need more butter
So the taste will be just right.

Some jokes need more laughter.
Some ‘hoods need less crime.
Since it’s time I’m after,
Hereby ends this rhyme.
