My Anniversary Today

My Anniversary Today, August 17

Married forty-one years ago today…
   the unspoken poem therein 
        writes itself…

English writer Jane Austen -
Reading was a thing she could get lost in.
Never married; died at forty-one.
With romance novels, her readers' hearts she won.

forty  one years ago you blessed us with your birth
now today as we gather to bid you a tearful goodbye 
God seemed fit to suddenly take you from this earth

i know we cant help but cry

when we meet you in heaven in the sweet by and by

Premium Member Unknown Things

My glass ball works in reverse
No future do I see. But
from the past it will recall
things not known to me

My father’s great grandfather
Back in eighteen forty one
Was of the landed gentry
Never did we know

So now I gaze at the glass
Seeking out with google eyes,
Finding whence I came, in my
far and distant past

Wake up, Wake up
  You who slumber and sleep
    Wake up
    Return whence you came

  Jarring, dissonant
  The ram's horn bleats
    thirty, forty, one-hundred 
    unencumbered blasts

  A simple device, no frills
  the breath of a ram
    caught in a thicket
    magnified through its horn

  It is the voice of Abraham
  The cry of Sarah
    The breathing heart of Isaac
      ~ It is the cry of a Jew

A Lady and Her Parasol

It’s nine forty one a.m. I’m on the computer
The sunlight covers the city this morning
While playing solitaire I paused and looked out the window
And there she was taking her morning walk

She did not see me but I smiled knowing how secure 
And tranquil she appeared 
It’s already seventy nine degrees here in the valley

So she has a parasol to keep her cool and she’s
Strolling with a slow gate so she’s even cooler
Then she knows

High-Scores On Chuckie Egg

I reached level forty-one no probs, 
And won the game, but had sobs,
So that that just failing was fobs, 
If I determined not to join the slobs. 

So the next time I reached it, had bobs, 
Because it felt wrong to veer from your hobs, 
But I failed the level at the last post, robs, 
Since I couldn’t merge victory with my everyday disability, lobs, 

So the third game after that first success, probs, 
I let myself win again so my brother had gobs.

Premium Member Another June

Another June ...
Underneath the same sun,
Much like the last forty
And now its forty-one

Forty-one long years ...
Below the same sky,
The finches are still here
And somehow, so am I

To see the zinnia
Come into full bloom,
To see the sunset
Longer does it loom

To hang wet laundry 
Flapping in the breeze,
Where goes a bumble bee
Buzzing 'round my knees

Another June ...
Come and gone so slow,
Still, I am not sad ...
To see her finally go.

Flash-Backs At Forty-One

Memories sharpen with hastening years…
Sand-box and shovel and toys
And tree-forts and pranks, and my Sunday-school thanks,
Little boy yearnings and joys.

Later, Tom Sawyer’s the would-be Don Juan,
Highways, and one-night hotels.
Cheap beer at the bar. And an unlucky star
Lighting those furnished room hells.

Finally, faces of long-ago friends
Focus, recede and return;
One dead and some wed…souvenirs in my head.
Brilliant memories burn
Sweeter than incense, within the mind’s urn.
