Dragons for their keel
Rowing oars instead of wheels
Their ships rock and reel

Why Would I Follow the Crowd

Why would I follow the crowd
   Does it know where it's going

I'd rather steer my own ship
   Than do the thankless rowing

One Autumn Evening

With flip-flap wings
in rhythmic rowing,
two sunset-magpies
flew straight through
a sky of pumpkin soup,
as I drove home to you.

Wrong Course

Rowing a boat up onto the land
Digging the oar stump into the sand
Dragging a dead ship on dry ground
Wishing that on sea, i had drowned

Shore of Truth

Rowing over lies

In search of truth's shore to find--


Broken were his oars!

The Gop Rider

When an horse stepped into an hole
A cowboy was dumped on the dole
He sat in his saddle
Just rowing a paddle
Because work was never his goal

The Bird

I will not stop
rowing the boat.
But, oh my bird,
Where  have you flown ?
When  will  you return ?
Happily I will row the boat
When you come .

Styx Reversed

unchained from death’s grip 
getting away from a dark pit
rowing across the river Styx
back to the world of the living
freed at last, born once again.

Rowing Team

the team rows in unison
sense of honor
feeling accomplished
the sun begins to slide into the sea
and still they row
not knowing anything better to do with today

A Simple Man's Words 2k13

I am but a man treading a brief dream.
I'm but a man rowing a sacred stream.

A student of life seeking knowledge yet;
Contented with the cotton therein his closet.

From the Turret

turquoise sky
castle Britannica
rowing club in gentle waters
arrival of swans
I head to the turret
binoculars on a ledge
I see red tulips
loving the turquoise sky

While On Boat Rowing

While On Boat Rowing

While being on boat, we were rowing;
Wherever we went had been knowing,
Shore is near,
And did appear;
Right beside us are sure God is going.

Starboard Saints

starboard saints
rowing ridges over
trembling tides, we're 
brewing boulders topped with
wintery whitecaps
sinking slowly, we whisper
defeated dirges to the
abyssal plains

Paper boat

Rowing down the river
in a paper made boat
with a tear and a shiver
going down my throat
I just think of you in fever
while I travel this road
you my angel and my giver
my reason to stay afloat.

Mine

He is 

A-nother moment that i can breathe
M-emories of my childhood dreams
A-mused by the likes of me
Z-oned into what he is to be
I-nspirational scene
N-ever to be apart
G-rowing closer,

everything you'll never be.

My Poems I Wrote and Wrote

much time did devote
when my poems I wrote and wrote
rowing in a boat

was hard to resist
wrote more poems which now exist
added to long list

when mind would engage
wrote more poems page after page
while wise old sage

Wind Change

The poetry is slowing, but not so much the rowing. It seems without my knowing, not words, but water's flowing. So not much of a showing, but stamina is growing. A west wind is now blowing and so I must be going.

Boat

The water surface calm and still,
I row my boat upon the lake,
And pull my oars with practiced skill.
In ripples with the strokes I make,
My own refection watches me.
Alone out there, I am really free.

With God We Are Rowing

With God We Are Rowing

When with God we are always rowing,
Faith in Him is growing and growing;
Much kelp;
Need help;
Maintain course when wind is blowing.

Jim Horn

Kelp slows down and re-directs boat.
Nice knowing that we have God's help.
