(A Minute Poem.)

The moon was full, but dark the night!
The lack of light,
...

Then and Now.

On the last morn of BC, history will show,
a birth took place - one most Christians know.
...

An Acrostic based on the poem "My Garden" written by:
Thomas Edward Brown.1830-1897

A GARDEN is a lovesome thing, God wot!
...

Fanatical Clerics feed religious fervour,
by rousing fanatics to kill - as an observer
can see almost daily on the TV today.
No thought given to victims, who they
...

Would that a brief glance, allow them to renew
their world! How one wishes it could be!
To see with the eyes of an innocent child,
and revive those fast withering memories
...

The air is calm, I feel no breeze,
to stir the trees, now bared of leaves.
There is no sun, the clouds are grey,
I know not joy; you've gone away.
...

Come along everyone and let us celebrate
An anniversary of importance. The date?
Next July First! A day that will soon be here,
And one all will remember. It's very clear
...

. am a Senior, stubborn and firm.

I am a Senior of an advanced years.
I desire to see peace - so far out of sight:
...

There comes a time of no more morrows,
of no more smiles, and no more sorrows.
A time when time itself will be no more!
When the earthly rich, join with the poor!
...

Though we live in times of deep regret,
still there is much to enjoy and celebrate.
What better than the satisfaction we get,
from helping a hapless, miscreant reprobate,
...

I once saw two elderly Elders sitting side by side.
While one elderly Elder was thin, the other was wide!
Heard the older elderly Elder say, he was feeling old
And feeling quite ill from a terrible cold!
...

My thoughts sometimes wander to places I've been:
Or, in my imagination, to places never seen.
With no restrictions, and no baggage to pack,
In an instant of time, I can go and come back!
...

A soft zephyr blows to where? No one knows!
In abandonment and rapturous glee,
its teasing capers, invite such as me
to follow close, to find wherefore it goes?
...

I saw
as I walked,
a doe grazing the grass.
Cautiously watched me pass.
