Big Horse Heart
Big horse heart
is sure pumping
oxygen deprivation
at 20,000 feet
breathing from the cylinder
icepick in hand
clouds far down beneath
sun on the rockfall ahead
I choose this life
to breathe hard is to compete
nature sets the board
we move the pieces
going all out now
assault on the peak
the pinnacle glowing
in the morning rays
we radio to base
summited!

About this poem:
mountaineeringThe Day
Do not give up on the day
even when it is time for sleep
do not give up on the day
though the light dims
and your eyes close in pauses
let a man be ready
to shake back the night
do not give up on the day
if the sun sinks behind the hedgerow
and your plight makes you weary
still, still, do not give up on the day
even when it is time for sleep
do not give up on the day
though the light dims
and your eyes close in pauses
let a man be ready
to shake back the night
do not give up on the day
if the sun sinks behind the hedgerow
and your plight makes you weary
still, still, do not give up on the day

About this poem:
some inspiration
I Believe
Love is the Answer
You cannot buy happiness, but you sure can rent it!
The prices of things have gone up way too much
I miss my dogs
We only go around this world once
The 70's were my favorite decade
A woman is a person who can give birth and produce milk
Nothing beats a good sundae
Time is all we really have
If you can't feed the baby, then don't have the baby
The 80's had the best music
Free music on the internet destroyed music
Life isn't fair
I miss Chris Farley
Shania Twain is very pretty
Pluto has a heart on it
You will be happy
You cannot buy happiness, but you sure can rent it!
The prices of things have gone up way too much
I miss my dogs
We only go around this world once
The 70's were my favorite decade
A woman is a person who can give birth and produce milk
Nothing beats a good sundae
Time is all we really have
If you can't feed the baby, then don't have the baby
The 80's had the best music
Free music on the internet destroyed music
Life isn't fair
I miss Chris Farley
Shania Twain is very pretty
Pluto has a heart on it
You will be happy

About this poem:
Just some random I believe, inspired by Blue Collar TV with Larry the Cable Guy, Jeff Foxworthy, and Bill Engvall.All shook up
White tiles
well examined
blue shift spray
fortitude in clocks
time dimensions
weighing in
cobalt cartesian
fully entrained
we make homage
dead players revolt
live satellite dawn
angel hair, down
slipping existence
fruit melee
peel for peel
gainful resistance
meta juice boy
we're all shook up
well examined
blue shift spray
fortitude in clocks
time dimensions
weighing in
cobalt cartesian
fully entrained
we make homage
dead players revolt
live satellite dawn
angel hair, down
slipping existence
fruit melee
peel for peel
gainful resistance
meta juice boy
we're all shook up

About this poem:
When white tiles isn't enough lets go more :)Lord let it rain
Whipping the master rites
still lightning high
unabashed solo
red freedom sky
Tamed by a jaguar
down on the plain
westerly wallow
the fevers engrained
When all thoughts of mercy
in deep foreign soil
ran hard in the corners
the sword and the foil
Served up like soup
the neighbor's disdain
damn with the fallout
Lord let it rain
still lightning high
unabashed solo
red freedom sky
Tamed by a jaguar
down on the plain
westerly wallow
the fevers engrained
When all thoughts of mercy
in deep foreign soil
ran hard in the corners
the sword and the foil
Served up like soup
the neighbor's disdain
damn with the fallout
Lord let it rain

About this poem:
Spilling out some lines, not entirely sure what its about!
Feeling Free
Listen to the wind as it blows
A gentle breeze soft and slow
The stars are out
taking on a magnificent glow
Waves pounding rhythmically in a row
How easy it is to become one with the sea
Slowing your life down the way it should be
Enjoying nature's free therapy
Living in the moment and
Feeling free
A gentle breeze soft and slow
The stars are out
taking on a magnificent glow
Waves pounding rhythmically in a row
How easy it is to become one with the sea
Slowing your life down the way it should be
Enjoying nature's free therapy
Living in the moment and
Feeling free

I gave it all up,
Just to have it all again.
And if I had to start over,
I would still do the same.
Just to have it all again.
And if I had to start over,
I would still do the same.

This is from a story of mine involving a Spartan who interacts with the world outside New Sparta, and though he realized that he is more than what he seems, he still keeps to what he always was.573

Hoorah for me!
I tried to write every week
Comments on my poems is what I seek
Also to give you something new
I have been writing on here in 2011 which is true
Some are of things I have seen on TV
Some are related to events in the news
Others of events happening in my own life
Some are funny, some wrote with strife
Either way it's been a lot of fun
Coming here and I know I have won
As long as I keep writing, I know I'll have a hit
Because the best advice is, don't ever quit!

About this poem:
I went through my old poems(mcradloff), and enjoyed the comments on them, thanks to anyone who took the time to read and comment on my many poems, much appreciated!ChatGPT writes some prose
The summer sun cast its golden glow upon the sprawling estate, where opulence and grandeur reigned. In the midst of the lavish garden, adorned with vibrant blossoms and cascading fountains, a gathering of elegantly dressed figures indulged in idle conversations and sparkling champagne. Their laughter, tinged with a hint of melancholy, filled the air, blending seamlessly with the melody of a distant jazz band. It was a world where excess and extravagance intertwined, where each moment held the promise of unspoken desires and hidden secrets. And amidst the intoxicating allure of the soirée, I found myself caught in the whirlwind of longing and longing, for within this gilded realm, dreams were born and shattered with equal fervor, and every breath was laced with the heady scent of possibility.

About this poem:
I asked Chat GPT to write me a paragraph of prose in the style of Scott Fitzgerald, here is the result, what do you guys think? Can we compete with the machines of the future?
Many Moving Parts
There are many moving parts
You may simple not know
Numerous twists and turns
The future is often murky
Where does one’s reason reside
What things remain inside
Reflections on our strengths
Comparing to our weaknesses
Bridled only by our own ambition
Knowing where we should thrive
Better to find our own happiness
And be completely honest with life
You may simple not know
Numerous twists and turns
The future is often murky
Where does one’s reason reside
What things remain inside
Reflections on our strengths
Comparing to our weaknesses
Bridled only by our own ambition
Knowing where we should thrive
Better to find our own happiness
And be completely honest with life
