Short Honoured Poems

Be honoured of what 
Others seem to think of you,
Their accusations
Never need validation:
Remain true, to who you are....

Gladys Humpadick's extra mile
Was well known to the rank and file
Though married to Otto
She honoured his motto
"Lip Service rendered with a smile!"...

bird in nest
looks at us
our trust builds

the space shared
is honoured
respected

by God’s grace
we both feel
love entwined

tombstones stand row in row
American flags fly peacefully among the dead
their blood was not shed in vain
they served,
they honoured,
they stood for America!...

I gave him a fake Medicare card,
And he could have honoured my efforts,
But he just scowled and said "You 're out!"
And so I swore to myself to give him bad reports....

Silent One is a new friend of mine
A more loyal friend would be hard to find
Every day he responds
Strengthens our bond
I'm honoured to have such a friendship defined...

How I wish troops were  withdrawn from the  battlefield;
And peace talks were honoured and  respected.
How I wish there was a time when guns were silent;
To end one of the bloodiest wars on earth !...

My limericks are silly and all in fun
My attempt to put those nasty blues on the run
I don't take this task lightly
Honoured and quite rightly
To be the one to put a wiggle in your bum...

What's in the middle
of light
where halos
form from beams
Where rain captures reflected moments
before their splat epitaph
Winds skirts with lint
in a balletic maze
honoured by the sun disco ball graze...

Which Pete was “for Pete's sake” uttered
When mom got flustered, she always muttered
This time honoured phrase
From back in the day
Riding buggies for two that were covered

The old soul
The natural survivor 
Master of passage
The timely arriver
With presence potent
Others in awe
Bowed are the younger
Honoured before
Greater spirits
Marking the way
We journey on longer
From essence of they....

Reading it
Mesmerised by it
Leaves me speechless
The scarcity of it

Time is imperative
Seeking is essential 
Routine is outdated
Receiving is strategized

Knowing it
Speculating about it
Leaves me honoured
It is priceless...

Hold on to the elderly
And never let them go 
Like morning dew on an open flower
Their sparkle becomes a glow.

And it will never fade 
If honoured when we touch
Their light will simply pass
And live to glow in us.

Young king Tut, time honoured pharaoh
In rage, deaf like the sea, with fires impatience

Boy king worshipped as a God
The daintiest last, to make the end most sweet.

Buried with skill not food for worms
But time for him grants a heavier doom...

With all that in dusking's outreach
To fix her eyes on
What you'd think would therein be
Blaze-snatched, first to see!
Ere geese, more striking honoured
Solemn disappear.
Pale barked tree, wooded lakeside's.
Peak beyond; night hides.

I have just had a look to see
What interesting comments
Rico and Milt have left for me
I am upset and sad to say
Both of these fine poets
Have passed away.
I miss these two accomplished men,
Who will never write to me again?
I feel an urgent need to say
I feel honoured that you came my way,
RIP...

TIME-HONOURED QUESTION

If I were to go down on one knee
And ask the time-honoured question;
The one about marrying me.
If I were to go down on one knee,
What would your answer be?
Would you welcome the suggestion?
If I were to go down on one knee
And ask the time-honoured question?...

Finally my blood began to coagulate
As I lay dying on the ground
Taunted by their words of hate
With their guns  still spitting such sharp sounds
Now I had met my final fate
No more homeward bound
My death would be honoured by a date
Faded photographs would my memory surround
All else forgotten and much too late....

I am the scribe who spends my day fixing angles to a pin
yet in night dreams I spill my seed despoiling Seraphim.
I am the pilot holding fast to a course that cannot win
I am the finger on the trigger to loose the dread Sarin
but through it all I only feel this icy cold within
and pride in duty honoured, is this my greatest sin?...
