The Hobby
All the rich men say I think I'll plow my hobby garden today Then I'll clean and wax my hobby 57 Chevrolet We'll drink champagne And play cards a lot While out sailing on our hobby yacht I wouldn't want anyone's feelings to be hurt So I
Soft And Mellow
When the wind blows again Yes when the summer wind begins to blow I will sing a love song for you Soft and mellow When the summer sun rises in the early morning skies And you open up your eyes And while your head lays gently on your pillow
There is a Love
a little odd rhyme scheme
An Earthly New Mantra
Common ground.
Love.
Love. I will never give or take a heart Until I know we will never part Before your heart I need your mind To see so clearly never blind Balance feelings, oh so slow Stronger and stronger as they grow When respect and desire blend S

Why?....
This life!
I'm angry with the present, and I'm angry with the past, the past brought this present, guess nothings meant to last, I don't know about tomorrow or how it will go, I just hope the innocent are spared, I hope we show we cared!

Can it be 2022
Can it be 2022 Sirens sound People hide in hollows Deep Destruction heard Tanks roll by in captive cities War declared stay doors People hear bombs destruction seen people hide people flee People dead Can it be 2022 Will it lead to
A Dash of Lemon
Watched Gatsby recently, DiCaprio did a good job
Senryu
Parental stress.
Ice cream, just ice cream
it is about now.
Reconciliation
A play on big words commenting about all the current diplomacy going on the big geopolitical world stage!! It's always better to reconcile our differences in the search for peace.

Heaven
Warrant's song Heaven was a song I sang for karaoke last night, it got a standing ovation, as it is a hopeful song. The album it comes from has one of my favorite, a fat rich man with money for hair coming out behind his ears, gold and silver rings on each hand, and a cigar made out of a dollar bill.
Senryu too!
I woke up this morning, I'm glad that I did, but what a suprise!!!!!
Sound of time
Just in my mind at the moment....

Lime Rhyme on a Dime
Practicing rhyming even if its not generally my thing :)
Is Anything Slow Anymore
Is anything slow anymore A slow day a slow way A feeling of belonging to a place and time Now try to rest your mind In the land of milk and honey Is there anybody Somebody who can tell me for sure Is anything slow anymore Sunrise sunset f
A Beautiful Girl Goes Along With A Beautiful Day
Her hair was tied back as she jogged along She looked at me as I drove away Her blonde hair shinning in the sun I'm dreaming as I drive on And it seems so right that a beautiful girl goes along with a beautiful day A couple miles down the road
Nothing?
Sometimes, nothing means more!
Time to reflect.
Desist! resist! for we dare not fall into this wayward quest, hearts broken in foolish folly, love scorned as life persists and all for what?, tis better to be than not to be, to find ourselves and not misery, so, friend or foe it matter not, for whe
It Always Sounded The Same
I don't like the numbness in my brain I don't like the poverty in my name Destiny was never here And I could never tell where No vibe to guide no wave to ride No choice but to collide with pain And the sound that's mine to cry It always soun
It is what it is.
I know there's a dark cloud hiding in the sky, waiting and watching where we lie, but it will never find us, when all that we can see, is u+me = love and how it should be.
Remnants..
Fond memories...
Humanity, we're losing it (for UKRAINE)
War is brutal and vicious. If only man can learn to resolve conflicts without resorting to this game
no tomorrows
...my eighteenth summer..spent at the ocean after finishing high school....summer of '70....Jesus!...how did I ever make it this far...
Kill
I wrote this one 3-7-2022. There are many ways to describe this song from my travels to today's stance in Europe, but I'll step back and let you contemplate the meaning!
Up or not?
Space and time mean what?, How long have I got in this spot? For space to exist, we need time, for time to exist we need space, what does that mean for the human race? We exist in our own personal paradigm, what we believe is true for all our time, w
A SIMPLE LOVE LETTER
This is a love letter to God.
Its a whole new world {hopefully]
A prison ship in the vastness of space, prisoners all, the human race, illusions of freedom to keep all blind, no truth allowed, there's nothing to find, only rules and regulations, laws for populations, to think is frowned upon, verbalise or analys
Short and sweet!
You need to ask questions or you will never know what road to take, which way to go, so observe and learn to find your way, but be yourself, come what may!

Being Alive
If there is an art to writing or poetry, it comes from the heart not what you see, and all lifes troubles and happiness, are all laid bare, more or less, thats a wonderful gift given to few, the ability to express the real you, in words and thymes, t
Letting Go ... Moving On ...
In my mind's eye, when I looked at what should have been our "holding hands" ... I saw that yours had silently released its hold , like mute falling pearls let go from its strand of gold ... Loved you too truly to make any deman
Split like smoke
random but somehow jigsaws together

My favourite poem by John Donne I WONDER by my troth, what thou and I Did, till we loved ? were we not wean'd till then ? But suck'd on country pleasures, childishly ? Or snorted we in the Seven Sleepers' den ? 'Twas so ; but this, all pl
