A Happiness Poem
If a happiness poem could bring forth a smile,
Then my face would always dress in style.
If my ears could hear my computer screen,
From one to another, they, too, would grin.
My keyboard types for my eyes not my tongue
This happiness poem will...

Our Home
Our home was warm in the shade of the trees or when the sun was not upon it.
It was built on the side of a hill, near a lake where spirits could be free.
On the warm porch – hummingbirds watched, from branches where they sit, and the cat and the do...

Supernatural Poetry
Here are five poems,—what I call—death and supernatural poems. Perhaps a bit bizarre, a few stanzas may be, but with unfailing subtlety of course, and a ting of acuteness, but we have to hag on if we want a good ride:

Man Unbowed [A poem]
Man Unbowed
Unbowed by sin, the world of man, stands
Upon his feet he gapes into the sky,
The indifference of centuries within his eyes,
And in his heart the curse of the old world.
Who made him dead to love and God?
A thing that breathes only...

Three Poems [Lima; Judges and Evils Creation]

Evil’s Creation
Thou knowith evil clings
To tender peace—;
Nor does it heed one’s drowsy
Un-enthralled grief…
But softly it darkens
Twilight’s dunes—;
With sprinkling shadows
Straight from the moon.
O Night! Who giveth birth…
To Evils p...

Rocks
Take some time to stop and look at nature. Pick up a rock or two and think about where it might have started out and what it might have gone through to end up where you found it.

I'm not well. Can't you tell?
Kinda low, so,

Glee can revive, keep me alive
and give me chance to happy dance.

Opposites Do Attract Quite Well
When I am climbing up, you are stepping down.
When I wear a smile, you wear a frown.
When I am very happy, you are feeling sad.
When I am doing well, you are faring bad.
When I am awfully hot, you are terribly cold.
When I am rather shy, you ...

Because of You
You are to me my lifeline
my security.
That scares me.
I never wanted to trust again that much
I got hurt too badly the last time.
I swore I'd never do it again,
never let the trust out of my hands
into someone elses.
And yet I've done it
and now I...
