Here we go. As most know, my main writing forte is poetry. It comes easy to me to make the turns of phrase. I know for some it isn't that easy so this will be a mix of things.

Upon distant battlefields
In lands few shall ever know
They give their all
Today as those
Who have marched before
To defend an oath
A solemn sacred promise
Written in eloquence
At the birth . . .

I know not why you beep at me.
Beep at me incessantly.
I treat you to bytes untold.
So why do you feel the need to scold?
Your keyboard I tap a ratta-tat-tat.
It's gone, oh no, oh dear, oh drat. . . .

Good morning says the peacock hen
I wish you well from now 'til when
What glorious greeting from pale blue sky
Go out, go out, now don't be shy
Go greet the waxing day so bold
Be free . . .

I stood awaiting at your door
After rapping twice and one time more
Illuminating glow through the looking glass
Wavy vision sighted from the past
Covered porch of romantic lore
Lost thoughts of either . . .

See all the people running down the aisles like lemmings
Trying to get all their gifts and holiday trimmings
Sales galore they scream and shout
One frazzled woman yelled her husband is a lout
Mad . . .

Oh daddy’s calling
Calling and calling
Over and over again
What does he have to say
Say this time
Will I stop to let him in
The phone keeps ringing
Ringing and ringing
When . . .

It's flying by
Slowly
Day by day
The little girl
The little boy
Grew and flew away
It's flown by
So quickly
Year by year
It seemed just yesterday
One blink of the eye
And it's all . . .

I made my way
Gift in hand
And heart
This cloudless morn
With burning sun reflected
In magical orange and red
Upon the new fallen snow
Walked with slow measured step
To visit you . . .

There was a lass of ignoble birth
Did not let it quantify her worth
From dusk to dawn to she toiled mightily
To enrich her life with steadfast vitality
No more a caring person to be found . . .

She was an artist
A painter of flowers
Small children at play
Of happiness reflected in innocent smiles
She was a poet
A magician with words so plain
The rival of . . .

There are times
During days and long nights
When I sit and stare
Upon the life
That surrounds me now
Would I be here
To enjoy these joys
Temper my sorrows
If you had not shown . . .

I looked for you along the river wide
Among the trees so tall
To the heavens they seemed to reach
So to take you into their arms so strong
I looked for you in the endless hills . . .

I almost missed it
The little gray bird
Nestled to the earth as one
Held tight within the cupped hands of the Mother
Hidden in plain sight
By tones of color subdued
I stopped to watch . . .

I looked at my study window
as the cold rain of March fell
slowly.
Watching rivers of drops
slowly
make their way down the
darkened
pane of glass.
Stopping and starting
as the battle . . .

They say time and love heals all wounds
But what happens
When the wound is caused by time and love
Can it save the heart
Or shall it in the end and beyond
Seal soul's fate to forever . . .

With the gentlest gust of breeze
My vision of you disappears
Goes away
Leaves
Only an ever larger hole
I wish you could fill
Not just when dreams overtake
Substantial in essence
As in thought . . .

Footprints disappearing in the snow
How often I've desired to follow
Over hill and through the dale
To find a hidden secret vale
Sheltered from cool northern breeze
Rustic cabin in slumbering . . .

Once there lived a tiny little c
Wondered why oh why they pick on me
He went from sentence long and short
He liked to party and cavort
Until one day there came a time
And he became stuck . . .
