It Is To Be
I burned for my book
Sentence formation is complete
From idea to finished script,
first sprout came several years ago
Editing and rewriting
changes over and over again
My goal is to stand tall
To develop a strong plot
the structure is essential

Work To Improve YourselfOne way to improve yourself is to work
If you want a better life for yourself,
Start working hard, as soon as possible
Not everything will work out at first,
But there's nothing to worry about
The main thing is not to give up
Of course, successes make us richer,
But thanks to failures, we grow....

Work Harder: A Collection of Today’s New Stories1.)
Gutter bed for a hope held ransom,
Three bottles opened,
Drunk reflections of my mirror got me feeling handsome.
Can’t go a day.
I can’t go a day without a glass handful of rum.
Funny how these bottles got me feeling hopeless,
Random thought but my problems are the only ways I know to start...

Right and both staff and he has enough
Votes, 24/30 he will be

And the Blah, Blah (company refuses

Chances in the card, wasn't easy
It involves a lot of give and opps.

Tinea
A day escaped,
released from the sticky womb of night
held firm in the arms of midwife morning,
listen to its infant cries
the wails of a newborn child unfed
demanding of your bed and sleepy scant attention,
it matters not that you turn your back and try to block your ears
to tears of open-window traffic rage
and...

Modern Day OfficeComputer say’s no!
We are trapped in the gloom
Software is broken
The office is a tomb
American tech to you we plead
Save the day and our voracious greed
Look out! Here comes the tumble weed!
We have become a dormant seed.

Fool's Gold Fortune, Part II...For two weeks Lester worked that pyrite vein,
and every day a brand new dollar came,
at the end he hug dug out two cart’s worth,
said Higgs, “Now that’s enough work in the earth.”
He smiled proud, they dragged it to the trains,
Lester still sure the old man was insane,
once loaded up, he said, “I will return
in six...

Fool's Gold Fortune, Part ILester sat in Lisa’s café that morn,
his eyes mindlessly staring out the door,
it was July of 1889,
and new work young Lester now had to find.
He’d left Jud’s ranch when he refused to pay,
did some small jobs, but not much came his way,
had heard some mines were opening up here,
but he might starve before they did,...

Beneath These Northern Skies'Write Thirteen Beautiful Lines' Poetry Contest: Sponsored by Constance La France (April/May 2025).
Where hills are alive
with imagination
carried by clouds
toward their destination
Lakeland fells and sheep
Liverpool of cormorants
Wales with its dragons
Yorkshire and terrier dogs
in Lancashire towns
of redbrick and cobbled folk
who worked with bare hands
to build a much better world
beneath these beautiful skies.

Life Flies So FastLife flies so fast
See you after
Today, next day.
Don't think after
What you do now
Next, don't bother.
Know for today
After, don't mind
Then, is not sure.
Work for today
Steps to goal
A life's merit....
