When Winter Flakes Are Falling
" Fire One!" I shouted out,
and let that snowball fly.
it zeroed in on my friends face,
and smacked him in the eye.
I heard him scream, and then he fell,
and boy did he start balling.
But thats the price you have to pay,
when winter flakes are falling.
But he got up and looked around,
so i launched another round.
this one missed above his head
and sailed into a tree.
then he bent down and grabbed some snow,
and then threw one at me!
it missed, by gosh; but then i heard
my mother loudly calling.
shes right, its way to cold outside
when winter flakes are falling.
and let that snowball fly.
it zeroed in on my friends face,
and smacked him in the eye.
I heard him scream, and then he fell,
and boy did he start balling.
But thats the price you have to pay,
when winter flakes are falling.
But he got up and looked around,
so i launched another round.
this one missed above his head
and sailed into a tree.
then he bent down and grabbed some snow,
and then threw one at me!
it missed, by gosh; but then i heard
my mother loudly calling.
shes right, its way to cold outside
when winter flakes are falling.

About this poem:
This is one of my favs
Happy New Year
Here’s to the outgoing year, 2010:
May the good times live on in our memories,
and may we learn lessons from the troubling times
that will make us stronger and better than ever.
Here’s to 2011:
For each and every one of you,
may it be filled with significant steps
toward the fulfillment of your fondest wishes.
In this coming new year,
let us focus on our goals and work toward our dreams,
and yet (smile)
let’s all try to go with the flow a little more
and stress a little less.
And most important,
(wave glass around to encompass the whole group)
here’s to all of you.
Appreciate yourselves and each other in the new year
as I appreciate all of you now.
Let’s focus on each other’s good points

The Campfire
Orange flames dance an flicker around
Sending hot embers to the ground
Enticing music an people do abound
For the campfire has been found
Under the nights speckled sky
People an swags they do lie
Unleashing tension with a sigh
Absorbing the brilliance of nature's high
There is a freshness in the air
But the warmth of the fire does take care
Crackling timbers it does bare
Plumes of smoke billowing everywhere
Drifting off to meet the star
Dissolving in night before it gets too far
Sound of nostrils flaring from afar
The night is perfect there is no marr
Joyous sounds of music shared
Uniting people who have cared
To make the journey an have bared
The campfire the flames have flared
If when the city runs you down
Head to the bush where some have found
The campfire an the illuminous starbound
Brings meaning to life an keeps you aground
Sending hot embers to the ground
Enticing music an people do abound
For the campfire has been found
Under the nights speckled sky
People an swags they do lie
Unleashing tension with a sigh
Absorbing the brilliance of nature's high
There is a freshness in the air
But the warmth of the fire does take care
Crackling timbers it does bare
Plumes of smoke billowing everywhere
Drifting off to meet the star
Dissolving in night before it gets too far
Sound of nostrils flaring from afar
The night is perfect there is no marr
Joyous sounds of music shared
Uniting people who have cared
To make the journey an have bared
The campfire the flames have flared
If when the city runs you down
Head to the bush where some have found
The campfire an the illuminous starbound
Brings meaning to life an keeps you aground

Post Comment" Weekend car trip "
Friday's freedom,
Country roads,
Places never seen,
Endless fields,
Cattle grazing,
Dairy farms,
Hotdogs,french fries,
Busy streets,
Small town on the shore,
Chilly water,
Whipping wind,
Sun hidden in the clouds,
White sand,
Footprints in the sand,
Seashells on the beach,
Sea breeze,
Ocean waves crashing,
Noisy seagulls,
Wind blowing through my hair,
Walk along the beach,
Tide soaked jeans,
Beautiful scenery,picnic,cherry wine,
Happy faces,pictures,
Sunset and good memories

About this poem:
Happiness means little things and it's up to us,this happinessDancing Amidst the Fireflies
- Dancing Amidst the Fireflies -
The cycle of the year is nearly done, with seasons passing swift,
Samhain's time, departing, leaving naught but the snowy drift...
What mighty hand did fashion the wheel that turns things thus?
In what power may humankind, in need, place firm mortal trust!
Each soul, like moths to flames, will find in the hour of true need,
The way unto the light of its' maker, the source of a richer seed.
How like unto angels in flight, are mortals in their greatest plight,
Ascending and descending between darkness and blessed light!
God in all, and all divine in nature, unsuspecting of inner power,
Yet within the spirit, coiled like a serpent, lies a celestial flower.
In the hour of our bloom, we glow brightly with good, manifest,
For all to see the beauty thereof, and for none to dare contest.
Flitting like the fireflies, so swift the shadows cannot disguise,
The beauty of movements beyond mortal eyes 'neath the skies.
Look for the good in all creation, for it is there if your eyes open,
Not with mortal sight, but sight purer, will your perception ripen!
I am the hand that plays the pipes, which resound in the fields,
Whilst the sun warms the fading snows, and the chill air yields.
Of old the maidens danced around singing songs now forgotten,
Whilst shepherds tended flocks and made their living, begotten.
How long the years since I have gone from fields to valleys new,
Where now the fireflies dance at at night, before the virgin dew?
I wonder at the changing world, the seasons that are passing...
And I wish that love, like my immortal soul, could be everlasting.
Perhaps it is; I have only to reach out to the hand that answers!
Let me know when it is come; my love and I will be the dancers.
Flitting like the fireflies, so swift the shadows cannot disguise,
The beauty of movements beyond mortal eyes 'neath the skies.
Dancing amidst the fireflies, king and queen of our own evening,
An eternal night of wonders, filled up with all that is enchanting!
Let the music of the pipes play upon the winds by angelic hands,
For we must dance across the darkness, whirling past the lands!
Wither are we bound, let no mortal mind guess the sacred place,
Only that it will be an Eden anew filled with love's blessed grace.
One look upon her face, and I will know all these joys and more,
For love is joy everlasting, and fate has much joy for us in store.
So come to me, dear child of the night, come dance at my side...
Here amongst the pale, pale moon where velvet shadows abide!
Your gown shall be spun of the silks of elfin weave, of ages gone,
Fair shall be the dance we dare, hidden from the light of the sun!
Flitting like the fireflies, so swift the shadows cannot disguise,
The beauty of movements beyond mortal eyes 'neath the skies.

About this poem:
A poem I penned back in 2009, to celebrate the Samhain season of that year. Few times of year have as much power, mystery, and magic! Let us dance amidst the fireflies now, no matter the time of the year.(I originally posted this at the Starlite Cafe poetry site back in 2009, under the name Grailknight777.)
Weekend
Life, return into me!
I want to feel free.
I want to brake out,
yell, scream and shout!
Alive, I need to be.
Else I don't recognize me.
Love, burn me deep within.
I want to dance, I want to spin.
Rhythm, come and caress!
Let me flow, forget the stress.
Music, wake me up!
Please, mister, fill my cup!
I want to feel free.
I want to brake out,
yell, scream and shout!
Alive, I need to be.
Else I don't recognize me.
Love, burn me deep within.
I want to dance, I want to spin.
Rhythm, come and caress!
Let me flow, forget the stress.
Music, wake me up!
Please, mister, fill my cup!

stay away.
when i see your heart so wet it makes me glow with faith again,
when i feel all held back its like the wind blowing my hair back,
when my feet are all blistered and sore its like they marched many more,
when thy arms ache like heel its like they pulled a car upon a cliff,
but most off all my brain pain it only accours when i think of that
stuff ,
a beach a ball a camera a holiday or maybe just a stay away will do.

Halloween Pumpkins
For many years I've carved
Halloween Pumpins large and small
Bats and Skeletons
Vampires and Demons
Scary Faces
Funny Faces
Vote 4 Obama
Vote 4 Kind
Ghosts and Graveyards
Witches and Sorcerers
Werewolves and Owls
I carved ten last year
This year I will carve five
Before that I carved three each year
From 1996 till 2009
I carved one a year from 1985 to 1995
So I've carved about 65
Carving pumpkins is quite easy
Get a serrated saw and some patterns
Put the pumpkin inside overnight
Or the pumpkin will be too wet to hold the design
Cut your lid at an angle so the lid stays on top
Scrape out the seed and pulp
Thin the pumpkin so your saw can go all the way through
Put on your pattern with scotch tape
Poke holes through the pattern into the pumpkin
Remove the pattern and follow it as you saw hole to hole
Carefully pop out the pieces
Use a plug-in light through hole in the bottom of your jackolatern
Carve it only one day ahead of display or day of to keep rot away
Enjoy and let others enjoy your halloween pumpkin!!

About this poem:
Love carving pumpkins! I watch the Simpson's Halloween specials when I carve mine.
Friends At Christmas
Christmas was a day of joy and sharing
I went for a walk and it was raining
Stopped at Tim Hortons for some tea
It was funny who I would see
I sat by myself quiet and alone
People there from afar had flown
Hockey night in canada and other sports
I met different relations from all sorts
Joe Sakic"s aunt was sitting beside me
As I was casually enjoying my tea
Theo Fleury's cousin was across of me
As I was casually enjoying my tea
whatever happenned to the Winnipeg jets
Phoeneix Coyotes hockey sticks and nets
The team had come and played for a decade
Now it is gone and a new path is made
Phoenix to Hamilton or Nevada
We need a team here in Canada
Santa has been and gone
I sit here all alone
Love to everyone from here and afar
As I wish upon a falling star
Merry Chistmas and Happy New Year to everyone
I hope your New Years is a happy and prosperous one.
