Vlad To The Bone
Parody of George Thorogoood's Bad To The Bone. I saw protesters last weekend supporting Ukraine, and I stand with them.
Against the Odds...Haiku.
A poem of hope for Ukraine.
With Delight
Talk to me slowly you should know me Trust my reply even when you are blue as the sky Never let your heart be a pretender When love is real we both surrender Words of love will never grow old Ours is a love story that's never been told And as
In my thoughts ….!
Just ……. My craziness lol
A little tune
humming up a tune
Traveling dreams
Joining the crowd, trying Senryu
WONDERING!
And I wonder, if love songs didn't make you sad, and life didn't make you mad, if life was perfect how would you be? And I wonder, if tomorrow was the end of it all, how would you be? what would you do? Its all a question of love and life, oh yes,
Lost Freedom
Once free,now lost.
Undeniable Truth...LBF

The Trial...
It seems senryu is taking over here temporarily. I thought I'd add a lighthearted attempt.
Forever Love
Experimenting a little more with Haiku (nature) versus Senryu (feelings) .....5-7-5 format. Using a very structured format when writing poetry often helps to create such creativity and emphasis on words denoting feelings......amazing how descriptive language becomes....like music almost following conventions.
Unrequited Love
Just thoughts
Far in the woods
keep 'em brief, mental images
Winter horse
Lets try Tanka, even with a bit of rhyme

Setting Free ...
Inspired by a song from the Philippines sung in my native Tagalog originally ... https://youtu.be/LiTbbZua-F0 and one of the better English translation sung by an amateur Filipina .. https://youtu.be/oPLbWtq4iqw Coming from a culture that embraces the sadness and tears of lost/failed love ... as much as the euphoric joy it can bring .... which is why such songs, no matter how sad... easily become immortally popular amongst us, no matter where in the world we may be ...
Simple is Best ...
There comes a time when we don't get impressed with the "butterflies in the stomach" or the "fireworks" any longer ... There comes that time when we look for that feeling of deepening connection growing str

The days of now!
So, the ruling few have been bitten in the a** by one of their own, what will they do now? Oh they cant believe nor comprehend, how this will go or how it will end, Putin screwed them, now hes not their friend, time to regroup, hes not in their loop.
Southern Signs Continued...
Just having a bit of fun coming up with these at work one day with some colleagues. I hope they may elicit a chuckle or a smile to your day. I'd meant to post these around Valentine's Day, but got busy at work and time got away from me for a bit. Love ya'll!!
Southern Signs
Just a bit of Southern humor.
Cowboy Astrological Signs
A friend and I came up with this on a cold winter's night recently while reminiscing. I hope it brings a smile or at least a chuckle to ya'll.
Perpetual Propagandizing!!
Just Saying... Just Truth!

Just Saying! Just Truth!
My Time ... Your Time ...
Before our paths crossed , our lives unfolded on their individual own , as we gathered experiences both sweet and bitter ... Eventually we met, all the wiser but quite wearier ... The chinks in our armor a little more worse fo
Midnight In The Darkness
Inspired by an awoken dream and view out my bedroom window looking over the meadow in late winter creating this dark mood.
That Movie "The Notebook" ...
Dont care much for the story which we all have heard before... But ... ohhh the music videos of the choice romantic scenes , leave me wanting for more ... Just pulls at my heartstrings till they almost break ... For a romanti
In Arwen's Requiem
To the story in the Lord of the Rings trilogy that mattered most to a romantic like me. Inspired by the film's brief reference to Arwen's own demise, a year after Aragorn chose it was time to forever sleep and cease his long life ... They could have made, in my opinion, a film on the Tale of Aragorn and Arwen (Appendice A in Return of the King Book).

Tapping away in 19th century style
The shifting shadows
Shifting shadows and spontaneous sparks pulled out the rest of the poem
This is who we are,,,, or not...
not all my words, but my thinking!
Maybe .... ?
Maybe not this time ... Perhaps in the next lifetime .. When sought after happiness from affection is placed within grasp in my next reincarnation ... Maybe next time, to my favor, the stars will finally align ... I hope to be

a poem for the coming spring
Our Best ... Our Heart ...
We can try our best.... like I really do .... But it seems , many times, the one we most badly want, we simply don' t get to keep ... And with a heavy sigh, before the ache gets to feel too deep, that hopeful heart is, once more,
