Years Poems

Premium MemberThe Next One Hundred Years

~Worked the mines like the men that came before me,
took the job from a man who went away to war.
Over time this desperate place would prove to be
a place from hell that was not worth fighting for.

Black lung took my father and his brother,
and it seemed that was the way it had to be,
but I

Years of Horror

I can't help but wonder if we could even fix it anymore.
 
I don't know if I could ever forget crying there on the floor.

And I can't help but feel that all our future has in store,
 
Is years, and years, and years of horror.

Take a trip to the west from town..Till you
Arrive at kryal castle..It was the first one
Around..You can see knights jousting? Sit in
The great hall.' I ate fresh baked bread there
Still warm, dipped in fresh cream..peasants
Fare.' To get a feel for the scenes.' For how it
Was in a medevil age, n'all.' There is chance to image

Premium MemberMore Than A Soft Toy

As she lays tucked in her white crib,
she hugs her brown monkey.
Other animals fill her crib,
but she chooses the brown monkey.
Why one may ask?
even as a baby she has a choice to make.
As the years go by she wants her brown monkey,
for love and peace no other animal will do.
The years pass by as she

Premium MemberSeventy Years Without a Whisker

I lived seventy years without having whiskers
but then one popped out of my chin
it was thick and long
tweezers bent when they tried to pluck it

the whisker laughed at my attempt at removal
he was tough and determined to remain in place
he has been imbedded in my chin for two years now
it will be three at the

New Years Resolution

My new year’s resolution was to lose some weight.
Cut down on take outs and use smaller plates.
So I joined a gym to try and get fit
But lost my breath on the stairs, so took the lift.

My favourite ambition is to learn to cook.
But my food never looks like the recipe books.
The end result is often

Hurricane Katrina - 20 years later

On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina stormed through New Orleans and Louisiana. The only difference was, in New Orleans (intentional or not), the levees broke. The flood waters flooded the 9th ward and most of the city causing tremendous flooding, devastation, destruction, damages, desertion, depression, dislocation, death and more. It was a world wide wake

Ten Years Of Tears-TSF

Ten years
Of joy
You gave,
Before
Death’s bell
Was struck
So fast.

Ten years
Since then,
Your love
Still blooms,
Yet I
Remain
Downcast.

Daddy,
I miss
Your laugh,
Your love,
And all
The care
You showed.

If tears
Could wake
The dead,
My God
Would grant
Prayers
I sowed.

The boy and the tree

A boy found an acorn upon the ground
Under a tree which, uncaring left it around
Knowing its chances he lifted the nut
And found on its side a little T shaped cut
He brought it home to a field so large
Making the seed his own personal charge
And with this new precious creed
Under soil he planted the seed

Twas quite

August 13th, 2025 – twenty six plus years since awful series of unfortunate events

The following poem posted about a half hour before the bewitching hour that spelled calamity (which though a freaky Friday the thirteenth) did (nor does) not find me exceptionally superstitious, and rather than wait for the morrow, I feel so pent up

Premium MemberJACK ELLISON IS NINETY YEARS OLD TODAY

August the eleventh is a very special day
Because happy Jack Ellison is ninety today
A talented musician he used to play the banjo
With the Canadiana singers, many years ago

A ladies' man with a keen eye for the fillies
Makes us all laugh with his limerick sillies
But Jack he can write serious poetry too
He's a proud Canadian through

My dear ones, years and accounts have passed since we spoke about the New Man, "Le Horla."
From the midpoint of the Reset cycle, it is known to emerge from the mix of slaves and technology.
Rudolf Steiner knew, the beginning of vaccination, non-foods prepared in the shadows of the times.
The control of the masses through technocracy,

Hiroshima eighty years since August 6th, 1945

Hiroshima – eighty years since August 6th, 1945

About fourteen and a half years 
before my birth,
yours truly not even a twinkle  
in the eyes of his then 
young father and mother
the former born April 9th 1929, 
while the latter would be turning ten
that upcoming November 13th
living in destitution 
with her three older siblings

FOUR YEARS STILL STANDING

FOUR YEARS, STILL STANDING

Four years bleeding, four years bruised,
Four years fighting, four years used.
Carried the weight till my back near broke,
Choked on silence, swallowed the smoke.



Four years of bills and sleepless nights,
Four years swinging at shadows and lies.
Loved and lost, trust turned thin,
Hiding the chaos I’m drowning in.



Four years scraping, hand to mouth,
Hope ran dry,
