Peace at last, war ends....

Remembrance Day, eleventh hour silence
Soldiers stand and salute
Freedom’s price paid today.

Leaves falling in October
Autumn afternoon.

I broke my fourth virginity
On the eleventh of the seventh moon,
I am a new man,
I have broken this barrier
That was holding me
Away from me
In my previous virginities.

The beginning of August, another month to cook
The eleventh, I celebrate another year in the books 
The coolness sweeps in
84, still haven't weakened
Still going strong, poetry keeps giving me a push...

window dark - sunset iris
haunted hour - odd waltz
slow envy - eleventh cradle
broken just - revenge deeply
purple circle - light candle
places blind - between stars
follow whirlwind

A-n early Wednesday morn 
I-s leaving the twilight; 
L-et the new dawn keep 
Y-our eyes away from the 
N-ight. 

B-eautiful eleventh January 
O-pens the day without pain; 
T-he coal clouds become white, 
E-liminating the 
R-ain....

Minuscule marvel;
a technical masterwork
entombed within glass.

Dear Chairman:

It is the eleventh hour, Mr. Eleven,
nearest possible time ere it's too late.
Best days done, this is no seventh heaven.
Time will tell, will you become Xi, the Great?

to get a high school diploma you must be able to read at a twelfth grade level
this was in 1952
In 1972 we were told “an eleventh grade level is good enough”.
Today reading at a ninth grade level means that you graduate.
I heard that at a seminar this morning....

My teeth crunch into golden heaven,
savoring fresh cream and salt.

This is my tenth - wait, no - eleventh
cob of corn. Time for a malt.

Corn cob, Mom, Bob,
Can't have another?

We love each other,
so you must.

Cob of corn, my golden heaven,
After you I love to lust....

R-eminiscing the day he was born
I-nduces joyfulness to his heart; 
C-elebrating eleventh January morn
A-dds bliss to his emotional part.
R-eunion of each family member 
D-elights them as they gather together;
O-ne cheerful occasion is held on the birthday of my wife's father....

eleventh month of nineteen eighteen,
eleventh day and hour striking,
weary soldiers wept, relieved,
as armistice took root
and guns gone silent
raised a stillness
well-heard by
trench and
grave

Karma lapped me 
for the eight time
[possibly nine]
slapped me on the 
shady side of life...
left jagged streaks of black and blue
up and down the flanks of my false pride.

I though I was playing in a sandbox
but in fact it was the heart of God...
time has turned into ticking scars-...

Eleventh hour—
	young men perished,
	their hopes and dreams all lost:
	Ypres, The Marne, Verdun

of the
Eleventh day—
	silent, fell guns,
	and stillness took the front:
	Argonne, Belleau Wood, Amiens

of the
Eleventh month—
	the war men claimed
	would end all others:
	sadly, it did not...

A-fter the twilight ends, 
N-ew dawn is about to break; 
N-either dusk nor dark
A-ims to bring heartache.

A-s the Saturday sun
R-ises above the horizon; 
D-ay eleventh of March
O-pens the burning beacon.
N-o more mist and haze to eliminate the thrill; 
A-ll you feel is mirth, in the concrete jungle....

The puppy shivers
a hip breaks in a fall
flashing lights retreat

Chills run down my spine
warm hands caress and liven
smoke rings blow

jingle bells
car trips and carols again
bloated stomach

sled rides
slippery steps caution
mistletoe kisses

Would the world forgive?
Destruction of twin towers
echoes of cries and pain
all  the nations in prayer
Ghosts and ashes the remainings
















Its hard to forget,yet lets try to forgive
(Don't hate them ,hate their deed)                                                          Charma...

S-aturday sky is clear, 
N-o more haze in sight; 
O-ne morn eleventh February
O-pens the day with light.
K-iss the chill farewell, raindrops have gone by; 
Y-our heart is truly warmed by the beacon up high.

V-ile weather has turned
I-nto a lovely dawn; 
A-llow the mirth to stay, 
D-elight keeps going
O-n....

P-eace in your mind
A-ims to last a lifetime; 
M-irth and joy inside
Z-ealously end the crime.

M-ay eleventh Thursday
A-llows the war to stop; 
S-trife, chaos, and confusion
A-re beginning to flop.
P-ure delight is brought based
O-n the Almighty's design; 
L-et the Lord make you feel the peace in your mind....

I'm in love with Paul McCartney
My dream, for him to marry me
He'll sing to me songs like Hey Jude
While we dance 'round the house in the nude!

A-n early morning smile
N-ever ever shall offend; 
N-either scorn nor insult
I-s found at the mouth's
E-nd.

M-orning sweetest smile
A-ims to warm one's heart; 
R-ugged wind of anger
I-s beginning to depart.
A-pril eleventh sunny Tuesday, 
N-o more weather so vile; 
O-pen your eyes to give an early morning smile....

E-ver warm all around, 
M-ay eleventh Thursday; 
M-ist and haze vanish, 
A-nd the fog fades away.

A-ll around it's ever warm, 
B-eautiful beacon rises; 
U-sing the burning flame, 
L-ight sweeps the mess.
E-arly dawn has brought
N-othing but the joy you've found; 
C-omfort fills the air, 
I-t's ever warm all
A-round....
