This is a short poem. 
Not a long one like the rest.

Updates to follow.
Be quiet... (calm)

Can you believe it no long can rhyme

Have hung up their cleats
Each had hoped for a life more sublime...

Longing

Little mermaid on the rock, 
Wishing and wondering, 
What it would be like,

Wondering; what it is like… to feel?...

Pretty flowers are blooming.
Rabbits are hopping.
In spring things start living.
Nests of eggs are cracking.
Gardens are now growing.

They are pure silver, 
and have no idea. 
They are humble and kind, 
pray for each other, 
and welcome strangers.

Yet polished or aged, 
vintage of freshly fired, 
the address is the same.

Dick the dog dangles his balls for all to see.
I greet him on the way.
"How they hanging Dick?"
The question is rhetorical.
"Bark once if I smell immortal."

And found to be in a fatalistic finality;

Life's existence was disappearing.

Men pick up their pens and find  
Voices that have need to say 
Reverie holds sway   
Soon verses display  
Ponderings  
Here and
Now....

Grief

God gave me an angel, 
a wife, 
a helpmate.
I had no idea the worth of that gift, 
bestowed upon my unworthy life.

Regret has nothing to do 
with the sister of joy.  
Loss is the little brother, 
of the spoiled....
