snow covered gravestone
monument to lost childhood
cold harsh memories
abandoned hope, love and dreams
never a Christmas blanket

The Monument

Hero’s monument
well-known historic setting
the park’s attraction -
a new edifice looms high
an eyesore in the backdrop

     Sensitivities on rags
           The bard's monument

Monument Valley,
you whisper going through

HOPING IT WON’T HEAR 
HOPING IT WON’T HEAR

Whatever you say 
—never to be enough

(Duchesne Utah: June, 2008)

On This Rock

On this Rock
shall be built
an eternal monument 

On this Rock
shall be placed
a welcoming shelter 

On this Rock
our righteous beliefs
shall stand strong

A Proverbial Statement

Have a great birthday, Eireen Joy, 
There is a proverbial statement; 
It is easier to destroy 
Than to build a huge monument.

The monument was stone -- 
actually marble, somewhat
more affluent.  The writing
was calligraphy, carefully
chiseled by a fine hand. 
The occupant was dead -- All the same….

Flora in a portrait style
In his unique botanic file
A tribute to von Linne,
Robert's liftime stint-
This monument in print

Back Then

In those days they were not in a hurry to vacate the planet,
My ancestors and their global friends
Life was to them a health monument in granite
And they lived on and on and on with welds.

Monument Valley

To write and wander
among the spires

Her mystery ancient,
each look inspired

The sand the measure
of all between

What’s in my soul
—and unforeseen

Living Monument

She is deaf 
He is blind 
An aged couple 
Now, neglected
And abandoned by
Their ‘’KIDS’’
She sees for him
He listens for him
Beggars are they now 
Just for living 
A living monument 
For love and negligence

Tashunka Witko Beyond Self

A man clad in mystery,
history would learn

His face on the mountain,
immortality earned

A man from tomorrow,
reliving today

Intrepidly fated
—truth on display

Premium Member A Monument

Holding the pencil 
In my hand 
I tighten it 
And lift in over my head 
Towards heaven
With love and anger in my heart

I thrust it downward
Lead first 
Into the earth
Until it stands free
One with the earth 
A monument

Cemetary Turned Into

Cemetary Turned Into

The next thing before we all knew
Cemetery ridge had turned into
Never understood what this meant
There were tombs near a monument
So sad and lonely was silent view.

Onto next one.

She Wore a Yellow Ribbon

I want to ride 
Like Captain Nathan Brittles of the US Calvary
As he rode through Monument Valley
To fight the Indians 
When it was easy to tell
The good from the bad
And John Wayne was the man.

An Ode to Pen and Paper

From the brightest flash of exultation, to self strewn webs of sorrow
A passion of sparkling content, a heart unbearably hollow 
Relive every sensation, ponder every sentiment 
One pencil and a notebook can create a monument.

Peace

Peace , peace.
                I desire to live you always
                wonderful sculpture,
                alive...
                I do not have you
               sepulchral monument,
                dead in life ...!

Hear now what I say to thee;
Lovely fragrant Christmas tree;
Grown up in the soft brown earth;
Fill your destiny by rounded girth;
With season’s finery on every bough;
For our memories now allow;
A monument of our Savior’s birth;

Holding the pencil 
In my hand 
I tighten it 
And lift it high over my head 
Towards heaven
And with  love and anger in my heart

I thrust it downward
Lead first 
Into the earth
Until it stands on its own
One with the earth 
A monument

Interpretation

Art reshapes all matter
Wistfully finding spirituality
And meaning in re-creativity.

Journey to monument
Of imagination opens
The door to
Personal insight
Not a test, no correct rejoinder,
We all interpret according
To our own wisdom.

Civil War Marker: Vanderbilt Campus

History’s unpopular these days,
No one cares where Blues shot Greys,
Or where the tons of cannonballs were kept.
Union marker stands aloof, alone,
Monument of bronze and chisled stone,
And students giggle where the Northern troops once swept.
