She was a fireball
Looking to burn through her nights
I just pretended
But then my eyes betrayed me
She said: "Aw you still believe"...

Maybe to Paul's soul
Creativity plays a big role
Poetry his one call
Winning his not main goal
In writing, he's a fireball

Purple rays dance through shadows,  
Gazing eyes hold secrets,  
Lady S on her throne glows,  
Fireball milkshake, minty sip....

Peeks around the naked trees
As seen through the window view

A red fireball rising sun
Inches its way up slowly
Its color changes swiftly
Yellow orange flames glow

Sunlight imprints brilliant hues.
The firmament glows.

I remember when 
The sunset red that day
Like a fireball that sizzled
As it touched the lake

Slowly it decended_went away
Inch by inch it left to stay
Never before and not again
Did the sun set that red_my friend!  ...

Freed from burdens of cold ice carpets
Grasses resurrect from marshy pits
Rays from a red fireball from far
Shine like gold dust from a long lost star.
Songs of each bird have volumes hidden.
From freedom no one is forbidden.

My nisus to go out on the porch
Once again to write verse
About the orange fireball rising
A new day given its warm birth

The fireball casting pink and sand
Silhouetting pine trees
Wouldn't this be so awesome now
'Twould put my mind at ease  ...

I sit here 
Writing my poetry, 
A tray of atomic fireballs 
Sit in front of me. 

I put one in my mouth 
It feels like my tongue's on fire, 
Feeling like I walked 
Across a live wire.

A blaze of years, into the kernel of 20 minutes, in front of a crowd praying to see
You made a monument to your past, not to our future
One chose to entertain, another to introduce, a third to baptize in blood

Waiting for the day my petals bud
To discern a nightlight from a fireball
And coo back what I see...

Remember the red setting sun
Like a sizzling fireball 
Slowly it decended away
In the west red did sprawl

Sharing sunset with only you
Beauty beheld enthralled
Our love and excitement combined
Wish those could reinstall

one moment the sun loses a spark ~ and from that fireball life grows dark

 one moment steadily turns to night ~ blackness gnaws eating away light 

    one moment life holds plenty ~ despair manifests draining til empty 

then one moment a baby smiles with fire in her eyes ~ and all’s worthwhile

They say the Scientist has a cold gaze
but that is not so.
He doesn't have a gaze.

All he has is an observation.
He doesn't look with his eyes or even his glasses.

He takes delight in filtered structural compositions
devoid of uncertainty.

He pauses the shockwave and expands the fireball.
He displaces the atoms within.

You came
into my life
like a fireball
bursting through
the realms
of reality
when it was
least expected.
Your patience,
understanding fostered
a relationship
built to last.
Eventually love
took over
with your
warm caress, kisses,
hugs and tenderness
that fostered
dreams into actuality
where happiness
bloomed on
the horizon....

"It isn't raining rain to me"
Only a garden down
Soon there'll be tomatoes for tea
Peas, beans, corn, squash _no frown

Clouds of gray set blue mood today
As the fireball sun peeks
Through cobalt to greet, all with rays
Of sand, on those clouds batik

Beginning line direct quote
Robert Loveman.
The poem made him famous.
He was orginally from Georgia....

The red fireball rises; changing
to orange against blue
A fire turned coal awaiting death
Winter's day bidding adieu

But the time is beginning
If our nation doesn't repent
God's judgment will be poured out
Upon the unjust full extent

Turn back to God America
Listen to his voice
He's calling, waiting with open arms
Make Him your choice ...

The sun set like a fireball but invisible
Clouds had the it hidden from view
So the sun won the battle 
Casting the whole western cloudy sky red
Even clouds wrapped to the northeast paled pink
Beauty for humans ~ animals? to behold
Blessings to end the day, excitement at God's paintbrush
Thank you God for your love and bounty

Cody came home yesterday!...
