Short Jackknife Poems

A staid old art collector in Quincy
dotes on cats but with people is chintzy
He willed old shoes to his wife
and to his son a jackknife
His tabby got a Monet and Da Vinci

Wildlife cannot remain contained;
Life in a glass dome is so secure;
Strife lines the broken trail to success,
jackknife just to watch basic shatter;

Sunlight isn't gifted glitter like splinters;
Rewrite is a creative's closest consort;
Recite what they say in a new way,
smite polite I want to make art....

Through every spin and jackknife,
you peer into my soul's keyhole;
Far beyond this condensed life;

Written with stars onto my scroll,
our story long ago branded boundless;
You are my other half, my whole;

No matter how difficult it gets,
absolute bond nothing can sever;
A broad mote surrounding a fortress;

Impenetrable when linked together,
hold onto my hand forever....

The road may be bumpy on the highway of life
 So fasten your seat belt and hang on tight
Watch for those steep curves or you may jackknife
Keep your eyes on the road and your goals in sight
The road will get smoother, the sun will shine bright

 The wrong exit may leave you lost for awhile
 Find your way back as you travel the miles
 There may be some detours and even delays
 But keep on  driving, the journey is worthwhile
Success is your destination, determination the way...
