You're not there, there's no one to tell.
Hurry home to tell you, tears swell.
Life's so lonely, miss you my dear.
There's no one to tell, you're not here.
My world was all you, you only.
Miss you my dear, life's so lonely.
Trying to cope, still feeling

A Moonlit Night - Swap Quatrain
She took a stroll one moonlit night
Diamonds afar, those stars so bright
Such precious gems to soothe her soul
One moonlit night, she took a stroll
This night was crowned in diadems
To soothe her soul, such precious gems
On the boundless sea, gleams abound
In diadems, this night was crowned

At Least: Swap Quatrain Contest
Inside the chamber of one's heart, there's at least a pint of goodness,
So do not hesitate to show someone some brave acts of kindness,
Whether life for one is so tough that it could break his faith apart,
There's at least a pint of goodness inside the chamber of one's heart.
In the corner of one's

You've Always Mattered
By your skin's pigment, I've never judged you,
but by your character I see you through.
Your deep concerns are only a figment;
I've never judged you by your skin's pigment.
We are all descendants from Adam's side,
and we'll continue to be multiplied,
so let brotherly love take transcendence.
From Adam's side, we are all descendants.
God created each cell that forms

Amazing Grace, a Love Story Song
My soul trembles at this joyful sound;
"I once was lost, but now I'm found,"
Now my new heart to Yours resembles,
At this joyful sound, my soul trembles.
I was blind, but now I can see,
I was in chains, but now I'm free,
You changed my life, You changed my mind,
Now I can see, but I was blind.
Amazing Grace,

Troubled Times
Troubled Times
In troubled times, I have the sea
It's soothing sounds bring peace to me.
An ocean breeze,salty climes
I have the sea in troubled times.
Gulls swoop and dive, we wouldn't dare
unless a safety net was there.
We fish safely, to stay alive.
We wouldn't dare, gulls swoop and dive.
I've seen sunfish, seals and whales.
Smoked some kahawai, told some tales.
But

Chickadees Play -Swap Quatrain,Tanaga Combo-
They play in the morning sun
late Fall snow it has begun,
through the cold the branches sway
in the morning sun, they play.
Chickadees play all day through
'neath the morning sky so blue,
have a good time come what may
all day through, chickadees play.

Scrolls of Love- Swap Quatrain
I will not read another one
These words that have my heart undone
Each message makes my heart to bleed
Another one, I will not read
The love you swore would prove untrue
Yet heart and soul I gave to you
An untold pain, my heart, it bore
Would prove untrue, the love you swore
You wrote to her, the self-same lines
I did

Summer Sun - Form Swap Quatrain
Sun is shining, all is well
Lovely summer they foretell
Found winter clothes so restraining
All is well, sun is shining.
Fields of rapeseed, like molten gold
Enjoyed by children freedom untold
Run in the shade amongst the sheaths
Like molten gold, fields of rapeseeds
Let's have a picnic, we're hungry
So much running will get sticky
Dressed in shorts looking oh so chic
We're

The Indentured Logger- Swap Quatrain
Ten doggone years I've sawed your trees.
I quit. I'll saw my own darn z's.
I'm done with blood and sweat and tears;
I've sawed your trees ten doggone years.
Right out that door I'm marching on.
No use to look, 'cause I'll be gone.
I'm done with aches and blisters, for
I'm marching on, right out that door.
I'll never feel this

Sweet Seduction- Swap Quatrain
Like summer breeze with sweet caress
Her beauty does indeed impress
And her dulcet perfume does tease
With sweet caress like summer breeze
In the moonlight my heart flutters
"I love you" is what I utter
Her perfume fills me with delight
My heart flutters in the moonlight
Upon her lips I plant a kiss
'Neath starry skies

A Lover's Testimony- Swap Quatrain Contest
I saw the light there in your eyes
Love clearly seen without disguise
And banished was my soul’s dark night
There in your eyes, I saw the light
I felt the flame there in your kiss
A burning taste that filled with bliss
On searing heart, you staked your claim
There in your kiss, I felt the flame
I came undone with each
