Greatness of life gone 
I succumb to 6-ft hole 
to be forgotten soon...

Neil Down was his name
Which was a crying shame
He was seven ft two
And anyone who
Met him felt the same...

Have had it on good authority
That the long arm of the law is 8 ft 3
Hard to believe
But cops don't deceive
Will take a pic to show how it could be...

No one can love you till you learn to 
love yourself.
I learned that when i fell and went 
through hell and came back as 
someone else.

A young fellow soldier from Kentucky
He considered himself rather lucky
Stationed at Ft. Knox,
Opened a vault box
But, alas, it was empty … how sucky!

Drunks yell & fight 
Neighbors are nosey 
Fences are 7 ft high 
Like the wall of china 
People pass like ships in the night 
Without so much as a wave or nod 
Saying good morning to thy neighbor 
Next door or two houses down...

D on't fall short of a blessing by reliving the past
E ither Heaven or Hell appeals to you
E xpecting respect to always follow is naive

Going on Holland America Cruise on
Oosterdam. It leaved out of Ft. Lauderdale
on 16 October and returns on 26 October.
It will be going to Eastern Caribbean. 
Will not have access to internet so
will not be entering any poems
into Poetry Soup. Keep writing poems.

Basic Training
Ft. Leonardwood Mo.
Combat Engineer Center
1961

The major difference I found between obedience,
and whitewashing a coal bin with a toothbrush.
While one was intent on dominating my thoughts,
the other to larceny my time and give ego a crush.

Waves crashing
Against the shore
Hear the power
Hear the roar

Wind blowing
Birds take flight
Stars twinkle
in the dead of night

Feel the sand
Beneath your toes
Enter a reality
No one else knows

Waves crashing 
Against the shore
Can you feel the power?
Can you hear the roar?...

Such elegance on-screen, Sidney Poitier 
Grandeur galore and the first to win without expectation 
Epitomized problems faced by your generation
Standing 6 ft 2 in the heavens above—RIP—To Sir, With Love

In abandoned field 
in the middle of nowhere 
as if to stand out 

outlined by suns rays 
this tree no more than 4 ft 
glistens with white snow 

too proud to cut it 
I drape tinsel and garland 
on frosted branches 

golden star a top 
in moonlight's gaze it shines bright 
blessed wishes to all...

Smiling at the bright sun,
Under the wild blue yonder,
Nodding their heads zestfully,
Fluttering with the zephyr.
Lovely they are to behold,
Oft in my dream they flash.
With colours so vibrant,
Exuberant and true wonder!
Radiant beauty unrivalled.

Something as small as a Chihuahua or a Pomeranian,
or as large as a Mastiff or Great Dane,
is taxonomically classified as “Canis familiaris”.
This domesticated species is man’s companion.
Dogs are found anywhere between Sydney and Ft. Wayne.
They have an ages-old history that is glorious.
Whether they are from a pedigree, or a mixed breed,
man’s best friend is a friend indeed.

Sweetheart I'm a little bit tired tonight
So I'lL just give you a short one to tuck you in tight
Wrap yOurself warm with my blanket of love
I'll be dreaming of you when you sleep, little doVe
A lullaby straight from my lips to your hEart
I'm onlY beginning, but here's how I'll start 
With a kiss that's as sOft as a feather down bed
That lays the foUndation where you'll rest your head...

My back aches from all the people that have stabbed me,
I’m falling fast, I just need someone to grab me,
My face frowns from all the people that have laughed,  
My mind is under pressure, overworked & under staffed,
My heart is shattered from all the times that it’s been broke,
My words are silenced from all the times that I’ve choked,
My body’s cold from the death that I feel inside,
6 ft under or spread my ashes is fear I’m trying to hide....

Reveille
FT. Leonardwood Mo. 1962
Miracle Man
October 25, 2023

At three-thirty we arose, to trumphet chatter,
It was hard to determine It’s subject matter.

None of this, to us, was making any sense,
now sleep is gone and so is the suspense. 

 We’ve trouble dealing with situation at hand,
Army life isn’t close to what we had planned.

As “Cruits” search for solutions we endure pain,
and do our best at hiding our disdain.

Tongue Twisting Triolet

 where once was one wondrous whale
 whom we wearily watched wander away
 wild whirling winds would wail
 where once was one wondrous whale
 when war worn wars wore well
 while wondering what wile will weigh 
 where once was one wondrous whale
 whom we wearily watched wander away

~ TV stations air the saved beached whale swimming back out into the Strait of Juan de Fuca during the storm at Whidbey Island’s historic Ft. Ebey, WA....
