The naked truth – sequel sequel

When showed up a farmer named Al
Who said as he set down his plow
Your moans are so loud
They’re drawing a crowd
And upsetting my favorite cow...

Sucked up and up, of this thought
Which cyclonic blows.
I'll admit, irrefutably
As irretrievably!

More wondrous than the wildest
Imaginative ride.
For what, in truth is set down
On life's other side....

lending you my wings, 
as i was born an angel.

to find one such as thee.

ill lend you my wings. 
rathering that i fall unto hell, 
then one so bright and beautiful...

far from the ground
a sun faced sea shines on me
no trouble i see but a sail with no wind
to catch no worry in the air
should i swim so long and tire arms
and reach the golden glaze ahead 
on islands set down to catch a glimpse 
of flocking beasts and friendly herds...

2 on PowerBall.
1 on Lotto.
Can I get my check?
*clattering of a drawer set down*
I would like to pay my utility here.
Signs up yet?
*beep* "beep* *boop boop*
and all the little things
they say to me go on
and on
and on. Till I am done, and
what is left me dried 
out....

THE POET LIVES LONG BUT OBSERVES,
ILL EQUIPPED FOR STATING GRACE-
IN GRACELESSNESS CONCEDES HER IGNORANCE.
OF ALL THAT PASSES EYES UNSEEN,
HERE THE POET LIVES FOR THESE-
THESE GRACEFUL, AWKWARD BLUNDERS MANIFEST.
SHE TAKES WITH NO THING GIVEN BACK,
EYES SET DOWN UPON A WORLD-
ONE NEVER CEASING TO AMAZE HER NOW.

rain has gone far away
rain will come very soon
in the cradle of nature

Sun has set down 
Sun will rise very soon
on the breast of sky

moon has covered its face
moon will discover itself very soon
in womb of night dark

you've gone, gone far away
tearing the nexus of my love
you have to come back very soon
in my enamorred inn of heart

A yell and a cheer!
Our first egg is here!
The gift from our new hens,
The first of the year.
And Anna came running,
The egg in her hand
as if `twere a diamond
From some distant land.
We all gathered close
As she softly set down
The first home-grown
Of a soft, creamy brown.
And from all the interest
We gave that egg then,
You'd think we had laid it
Instead of the hen!...

POEM 48 TIME ON THE BEACH 


SO LET US SET DOWN BY THE SHORE 

& LET MY MEMORIES ROLL AWAY IT 

WAS THEN I REMEMBERED MY LOVE 

OF YESTERDAY.



THERE WAS PEOPLE STANDING THERE 

I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE AS THEY 

WALK AWAY PLAYING & WAVING GOOD BY 

IT WAS THAN I FELT TEARS COME FALLING 

DOWN FROM MY EYES.

the music is just right tonight
listening to cowboys sing the blues
and all the while I'm dancing with him
I remember 'bout dancing with you

as I set down another long neck
and take a cowboy's hand
the steel guitar is whining
lights reflecting on the bandstand

the wood floor is real crowded
and we give it just one more go
as he wraps his arms around me
it's not the cowboy that I know...

In a certain time
Rise you
And down
As a result
The world is black
And white

World itself adjust
In that
Everything is adjusted
In order to
Rise they
And down

To me the certain time
Is obviously uncertain
When you rise
I set down
Sometimes stagnant 
Silent and hidden

Hasty time insists 
And its world is
Angry with me
I am called mad
Look around you and
I can only smile

Wondrous cross*…
bearing the Saviour
…life for me!

Cross of life…
Christ’s redemption-grant
…great triumph!

With God’s love…
cross I do carry
…for His name!

*Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Cat Who Was a Clown

My cat thought he was a clown
And every time I did set down
He always likes to take his nose
And rub it softly against my toes.

When he will rub against my feet
That means it is time to eat;
For food, has learned how to beg
By rubbing against my leg.

One more thought to me did occur
If I say pretty please will he purr;
Then he said it was time for bed
But first he wanted to be fed.

The long wooden box 
Was gently set down 
As dirt was packed from the earth 
To fill up the earth 

Black coats and umbrellas 
Huddled together under the rain 
Watched on in silence
Not a word to be uttered 

I, in their midst 
Looked up but couldn't see
Clenching my fist 
I knew I had to stay strong 

But, a trickle of water 
Found its way out of my eyes 
And rolling gently down my face 
Fell on top of the long wooden box...

Listen to poem:

It broke her heart
when Franco died
he’d been her soul mate
wed over fifty years
he’d been her life

For her Franco
she had a ritual
lit a candle every night
so he would know
how much she missed him

Today would be a special day
she felt it when she closed her eyes
wouldn’t be lighting any candle
she took her one last breath
set down the path to join her Franco
