The Lone Warrior
There I was, sitting in a corner of the cold dusty room
The dusk falling, the angry clouds gathering
Casting shadows across the sky;
Earning A Living
I live to work and work will pay
In rain or shine or boom or bust
To earn my crust and live and play
The Fairy Encounter
Stories of a fairy fort
That were told around the camp fire
Blazing in the summer nights
Sammie The Dog
Sammie the dog was thought to be clever
Cleverer than one ever did see
He could switch on the TV with his paw
Dreaming Through Time
Do you know 'what is a dream?',
Really understand it?,
Engage in it...
THE COCONUT CRAB
Who stole my coconut from that tree?
What is that creature that I see?
Eight unique legs used in pairs
The Wonders Of Shape
Draw a shape...
large or small, round or tall,
all unique, all complete.
NATURE IN THE SKY
Sun, sun, you shine so bright,
Lighting all the people's lives,
Oh so warmly with your glow,
THE SILVER LINING WITHIN THE CLOUDS
I am a woman of 65 years -
I have lived a life of regret and tears;
I spend my days in a 'dream-like' state -
THE OLD DARK ROOM OF MEMORIES
That old dark room that lay partially forgotten,
Forgotten from mind not forgotten from memory,
Memory that if remembered left feelings of loss,
THE BIRD
The bird outside my window sings with a cry,
Waking me from sleep early of a morning,
Then I rub my eyes and breathe out with a sigh.
SWAN IN THE BACKGROUND
The swan reflects upon the surface of the water,
As a poet contemplates their inner being and soul,
The reflection connects with the swan,
A Poem About Poetry By A Poet
Poets and poetry are like script is to paper -
One is fit for use by the other;
Script and paper go hand in hand -
QUIET & STILL
A middle-aged man of dubious character,
To other's eyes that behold him,
Dressed in fine clothes, fit for a master,
THE SUNSET UPON THE OCEAN
I delight in the beauty of a sunset sparkle,
Across a peaceful endless ocean,
The breeze creating tiny waves,
DREAMS
Dreaming of the future,
Dreaming of the past,
Dreaming of the present moment,
