The Many Shades Of Love.
So varied are the hues of poetic pen, With a multitude of exploding coloured ink, In endless shades to choose from now, and then, To set the writing mood, into which we sink. Should I decide upon a nature write, I must select just one of many
Mixed up thoughts
Mix your thoughts All jumbled up Life's body grows from seed to dust From youth to adults we gather are thoughts Who are we why we here where we going we do not know On are sole journey Full of life highs and lows We battle are thoughts
America
Freedom is always the toughest path, but a journey well travelled.

Mike's Commandments
The Ten Commandments has been on TV before Palm Sunday for as long as I can remember. My favorite scenes are when Moses is being threatened with stoning when the slaves find out they have to make their bricks without straw and later when he throws the stone tablets with the ten commandments on them and he says, "Those who will not live by the law, shall die by the law!"
Remembering the Irish Famine !
In 1845 more than 1 million people died in Ireland from starvation when blight disease wiped out the potatoe crop. At the time Ireland was under British rule and suffered much oppression. To the present day the population hasn't recovered.

Alone
This is a poem to remind us that with age we become lost from friends are families that once we where always with and as time goes by we lose touch with them
"Deny"
I wrote this poem when I 'd felt betrayed by people that I 'd felt stigmatized me when they didn't really know me or understand me. I think poetry at times is a release of sorts.

Are you a vouyer to my past To read my words From my lifes journey On my journey of life's toil To find my hidden sole my life You read with such glee To find that hint of me My past my present My future not told I create these wor

The Magnificent Air
The air we breathe is probably one of the most taken for granted things. It unites all living things. It levels the playing field. Some persons may consider human life to be superior to plant life. Yet, plants play a vital role in sustaining human life by replenishing the oxygen content of the air. They assimilate, into their structure, the carbon from the carbon dioxide human beings exhale and release the oxygen through photosynthesis, thereby replenishing the air's oxygen, which is vital for human existence (iambic pentameter).
