One night out upon the raging sea,
In a storm so dark the stars did flee,
When in a moment a massive wave,
Sent a ship to a cold, watery grave.

From another deck, a wreath was thrown,
For the brave crew that joined Davey Jones,
Red roses that marked an unknown spot,
A simple act done with profound thought.

Those of the

Wreath of Time

A slough of love
serenading moonlight
A snowball chance in a dream
Buffalo riders playing rodeo
A lovers touch in spring
petrified on time
Absent friends
on the wreath of time

Premium MemberThe Most Gorgeous Wreath

She has made a gorgeous wreath the older lady said.
Not being able to see that the white flowers were skeletons.
It’s obviously for Halloween, someone replied.
Another person asked why, as skeletons are “in” now.

The older lady had no idea why they were speaking of skeletons.
She was speaking about a wreath, with huge white flowers.
She had never

We fought a wills grief, but your push prevailed,
Nest over my door; guests will share another gate.
Don't chide as other birds, you flew and wailed,
My heart won't allow me to destroy this template.
 
Nest over my door; guests will share another gate,
Where ever you fly, your nest is hither. Winner!
My heart won't allow me to destroy

The youth just prepare for their future

It brings honor to man.

because learning

great.

Our Christmas Wreath

At the door there is a big ring. 
It is made of pine and has several cones. 
There is one for each member of Our Home. 
There are lovely red ribbons, for all those we care about. 
You can not see the boughs, or limbs that were used, 
but you can smell them.

Beneath Christmas Tree Was a Wreath

Beneath Christmas Tree Was A Wreath

Beneath Christmas Tree we saw a wreath;
Thought about Jesus and His much grief;
Born and bred,
In a shed,
And of Him on church window is a motif.

We never knew how long Jesus was in the
barn after his birth. He was there when the
wise men came.

The Veterans

Draw strength, draw strength from those who died
Make peace with those who lived
For in our memories all survive
Their deeds their times outlive

For peace they went, for peace they fought
Though some would not return
Yet with courageous deeds they taught
That freedom must be earned

Now we in peace and freedom dwell
This heaven they bequeath
To those who challenged death

We Placed a Perfect Wreath

We Placed A Perfect Wreath

On unknown soldier tomb we placed wreath,
Body remains are buried below and beneath;
That we respect,
In manner correct;
All that was left are broken bones and teeth.

FOR MOST A WREATH


a crown of delight
a circle of hope
a knocker’s decoration

december came knocking
just before christmas
it was the brisk wind

a baby removed from her crib
from the one who used to
play peek-a-boo with her

a christmas without a tree
a wooden truck nearby
crafted by a carpenter

three days before christmas
a truck explodes past a stop sign
a card exposed to

Love Is Laid a Wreath

Love, O Love is now laid a wreath
Love, O Love is now laid a wreath
There with her beautiful heart, lies in state!

O dear life has wearied you to boredom.
In its wild, wild pursuit you are ensnared,
Only your name subsist as a post-mortem
But your true virtues they have never fared.

Love, O Love is now laid a

A WREATH FOR SAINT VALENTINE’S DAY

A clew within this virgin card from the head
Which you denied and now which gives you hope
Has come to me.  When you opened your mouth
The scent of honeysuckle drenched my shoulder
Your hair tossed, though neatly cut
Still betraying my wild, rapturous caress
Your eyes, that were soft, are now sharp -
Knowing
