Deep in the Mines ( Dwarven Drinking Song)
Deep in the mines where the ale flows free Our tankards raised, let the revelry be Dwarven drinking songs and cheers all round For we're the finest miners in the underground Our work is rough, but our spirits high For we're the ore extractors
Ashen Dreams
An evil man stands before me, with eyes dark as midnight sky A life of pain and sorrow, soul so lost, it made me cry But there's a glimmer of hope, deep within his ashen dreams A chance at his redemption, or so to me it seems His world cr

CS Poetry Corner
I posted my first piece here on CS Poetry Corner in June 2013. There was a great camaraderie among the poets then and the subsequent years. It was a wonderful feeling that inspired other poets and myself in our writing. I have written this piece in honour of those days. It was inspired and motivated by the song: “Those Were The Days” by Mary Hopkins https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3KEhWTnWvE

Your God
I spent a good portion of my life believing what I was told to believe. Someone help me find the truth? I will believe in the God who speaks with me. I will not hold court with riddles and history. If I am to believe in a God, it will be the Living God. It will be one concerned with my existence. It will not be an ancient sovereign who is beyond my reach. It will be He who Cares and Touches my Soul, Not the cold and isolated, distant Father of the sinful Church. I AM WORTH KNOWING- SHARE YOURSELF WITH ME.

"Awakening"
the poem serves as a motivational reminder to awaken one's dormant potential, to seek strength from within, and to embrace the process of self-improvement. It encourages individuals to break free from limitations, harness their inner capabilities, and allow their true selves to flourish.

We are so busy with work and life. We just need to be Us sometimes. Having a Me Day. XXX

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE
This happened to a cousin of mine who married a dark haired beauty from South America - she wanted to come to America and live like a Queen. Took all his money and went back to South America and now living like a Queen with her boyfriend and their baby. True story. Beware! American women may not be all honey and pie - but at least some of us are honest.
WAITING
Update: A dear friend of mine was just told last week that she only has 6-8 months left to live because she has Lung Cancer. She never smoked a day in her life!! I originally wrote when entering period of time when my Mom passed away. Towards the end she sat in her chair staring at the wall and remembering memories. I thought it was my memories coming to me - however, possibly it was meant for my friend instead. Kathy

I wrote this 6-22-2023. I suppose in this write that you've done about everything (and gone everywhere), and now what? I'd say improvise, adapt, overcome, and write a madcap song like this! lol Until then
