I sat before my desk last eve
To assess my current plight;
The things I see, you might agree,
Indicate a major blight.
...
How like the seasons is our life,
We face the sunshine, storms and strife;
As seasons come, so they must go,
We are enjoined within that flow.
...
Can you find a humble man,
Glad to be on God's green earth?
One who holds no greedy plan,
Knowing wealth has no true worth.
...
O muse of mine please work with me,
Teach me to write simplisticly
And I shall seek no grander plan;
Just poetry for the common man.
...
In an attempt to lighten up my poem site I offer
this doggeral style ditty about my neighbor's dog-
I used to range those farming fields,
...
I remember, still remember
Though she's lately gone ahead;
They still linger, always linger
Precious words my momma said.
...
Daughter's gone, daughter's gone,
Still my memories linger on;
All those moments through the years
Fraught with anguish, doubts and fears.
...
This man with only one good eye,
Had labored long to find
The path to God, in a troubled world
That seemed completely blind.
...
'Tis the day before Christmas
And I'm stuck in the mall,
The traffic is moving
At barely a crawl.
...
Long years ago we said our vows,
Which ended with a kiss;
In thinking on those years, I see
Some trials, some tears and bliss.
...
