Premium Member My Gassy Dog Carter

I once had a dog named Carter
Who was a hell of a farter
I stuck a plug up his butt
To stop the farting mutt
But Carter just pushed 'em out harder!

God blessed him

Blip Carter

In the good old days,
Backyard loos were the way,
The old blip carter appears,
From a dim and distant year,
Had the blip can on his back,
Strode off down nostalgia's track!

(for Johnny and June)


I fell into an airplane tire
It went round and round
And the plane went higher
And it turns turns turns
That airplane tire.
That airplane tire.

You Are Still the One

I miss the time 
we once had together.
The moments we shared

‘We are the same'

Only our priorities have changed
You are still the one
That I want to share
My life with.

Premium Member A Shoe Eschewed

On his daily morning constitutional
    Carter stumbled on an old brown shoe

  Just one it was, and not a pretty sight
    Weeds peered from it, smeared with blight

  Carter picked it up, pondered a while...
    Tossed it aside ~ last year's style

Premium Member Billy Carter Beer

Billy Carter was a sluggard I hear

   His kinfolk he did not always endear

      He embarrassed his brother

         And mortified his mother

            He cared not one whit as he nursed his beer!

After Darkness Falls

After darkness falls, everything becomes quiet, and still, the night comes alive. Poet David W Carter
Form: Haiku

Outta My Mind

youtook me, shook me outta my mind
What were you trying to find?

you took me, shook me outta my world
gave it a twirl. spinned me for a whirl

We made love..you drove me crazy
My mind was hazy..We were lazy
that day you drove me...outta my mind


Carron Carter-original

Wonder Woman

People would say I looked like Lynda Carter
I'm a far cry from Wonder Woman
I could still be your super hero if you wanna follow me down into the dust
That thin layer of charred regret that coats the things, people and places that I've been
Where I'm hiding now
laughing as I write this

Photos

Photos

photos are faces of time
pictures of the past
what we remember last
It's a memory 
Of happy and sad,
Good and bad
moments that we remember
Especially in December
memory's are dear
To the ones we hold near
Photos are a moment in time
What we cherish most.

Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter; known as just Beyoncé
Formerly a "Destiny's Child"; her mononym rhymes with fiancé

Much more than "Sasha Fierce", she's the wife of rapper, Jay-Z
A behemoth of a songstress, undeniably R&B's reigning queen bee

Premium Member Peanut Farmer Charmer

Mr. Jimmy Carter was a peanut farmer
   When he smiled, he was quite a charmer

He'd grin and say that whenever he was feeling down
   He'd take up a noble cause -- THAT would never let him down

Shadow

SHADOW


In the depths of the darkness
deep within ones mind
shadows creep while you sleep,
it's silent with every move
and seems to be in there with you
only in ones mind 
is where you will find
this shadow, it moves beside you
deep within your mind
you will never find
for shadow lurks in the depths of your mind.

I Like

I like the motion of the ocean. And the crashing of the waves. I like the sound of the whistle. Of a passing train. There is nothing like a cool breeze. On a summer night. Under the stars and the moon light. I like the color of the leaves in the fall. October most of all. I enjoy family on thanksgiving. And snow on Christmas Day. David W. Carter

Life Is,

Life is not always what we think it should be, but what it will be, by the force of nature itself, time moving forwards through every step we take, for unexpected events, that we have no control of, To the decesions we make that influences the path we walk, for everything we do or say can have an impact on our future's outcome. Poet David W Carter

When We Care about Others Horn Haiku

"what we should have done
when caring about others
better they will be"

there are those we need
who will preside while they lead
which with have agreed

when you stick out hand
will receive love from the land
which has seemed so grand

her favorite quotes
she had picked up through the years
will never forget

Rosalynn Smith Carter
These are her favorite quotes.
