BETTER BELLY BUSS, THAN GOOD FOOD WAS’E
(A saying of ole by a wise old sage???)
Don’t throw the remains of good food,
Don’t even store it away.
Not when it tastes so very good;
It won’t last another day.
Even if you’re filled to the brim,
Be sure to make some space.
“Better belly buss, than good food was’e”;
Don’t throw the remains of good food,
Don’t even store it away.
Not when it tastes so very good;
It won’t last another day.
Even if you’re filled to the brim,
Be sure to make some space.
“Better belly buss, than good food was’e”;

About this poem:
A Trini’s 'over-used' excuse for gluttony. (lol!)
IF I WAS A TREE
If I was a tree,
I'd stand mighty and tall,
I would turn brilliant colors,
In the cool chill of Fall,
I would always reach out,
Drawing strength from God's Earth,
Adding one ring upon another,
From the year of my birth,
My foliage in full bloom,
Would shade you from the burn,
My intricately woven branches,
Protect you when rains return,
If I could but speak,
Rings of tales I could tell,
About the many dreams of mankind,
Pennies tossed in Life's wishing well.
I'd stand mighty and tall,
I would turn brilliant colors,
In the cool chill of Fall,
I would always reach out,
Drawing strength from God's Earth,
Adding one ring upon another,
From the year of my birth,

Would shade you from the burn,
My intricately woven branches,
Protect you when rains return,
If I could but speak,
Rings of tales I could tell,
About the many dreams of mankind,
Pennies tossed in Life's wishing well.

About this poem:
All too often I have a moment of clarity concerning the truth that things aren't always what they seem.
Dating
I joined this dating site
I'll give it all my might
If someone contacts me
What will I write
Will I reveal the truth
Or tell a fantasy
Because the girl is cute
Continue the Fallacy
It is a scary place
Exploring the unknown
Here every creed and race
Hope to make someone else their own
Love is a funny thing
That draws us together
Some exchange marriage rings
And live happy lives forever
So it's our trust and hope
That we will find our soul mate
So maybe, just maybe
It begins with a good first date
Mr Poetic.....

About this poem:
My poem speaks the lure of dating sites by individuals who seek true love using a forum that is filled with the unknown. It can be a scary but also quite fulfilling experience...
raindance in the road
Blue sky, blue sky
she walked by my house
raindance in the road
never felt, never felt
so good
Walkin’ high, walkin’ high
she knocked my door
woah, diamond lights in my room
never felt, never felt
so good
Mmmm mmmm sweet girl
your purple ways
lovin’ days
raindance in the road
mmmm Lord
raindance in the road
she walked by my house
raindance in the road
never felt, never felt
so good
Walkin’ high, walkin’ high
she knocked my door
woah, diamond lights in my room
never felt, never felt
so good
Mmmm mmmm sweet girl
your purple ways
lovin’ days
raindance in the road
mmmm Lord
raindance in the road

About this poem:
Let me put on a little John Lee Hooker groove here, and write me some fine lyrics.Here you go Kathy this will cheer you :)
Changing
Die Haare wachsen, die Nägel auch,
Es gluckert ständig in unserem Bauch,
Nix ist fix, nichts hat Bestand,
Bringt uns das wirklich an den Rand?
Alles formt sich stetig um,
Es lohnt nicht der Erinnerung –
Doch wir bleiben häufig dumm.
Statt hinzuspüren, nachzudenken,
Weshalb wir uns‘re Zeit verschwenden,
Mit festhalten an so viel Sachen,
Die uns nur bösen Kummer machen,
Verpassen wir so mit der Zeit
Die allerbest‘ Gelegenheit
Stets Änderungen anzufühlen,
Im Hintergrund herumzuwühlen:
Auch das Schlechte – nimm‘s doch wahr –
Wird weggespült, das wird doch klar –
Ist das nicht wirklich wunderbar?
Es gluckert ständig in unserem Bauch,
Nix ist fix, nichts hat Bestand,
Bringt uns das wirklich an den Rand?
Alles formt sich stetig um,
Es lohnt nicht der Erinnerung –
Doch wir bleiben häufig dumm.
Statt hinzuspüren, nachzudenken,
Weshalb wir uns‘re Zeit verschwenden,
Mit festhalten an so viel Sachen,
Die uns nur bösen Kummer machen,
Verpassen wir so mit der Zeit
Die allerbest‘ Gelegenheit

Im Hintergrund herumzuwühlen:
Auch das Schlechte – nimm‘s doch wahr –
Wird weggespült, das wird doch klar –
Ist das nicht wirklich wunderbar?

About this poem:
... this is written in my mother tongue - German ... I can not translate it in English propperly ...
Rain
Rain! Rain! Go Away! Come again some other day.
Rain Rain you're here to stay
Washing all our stuff away
A car here a house there
We don't think it's very fair
Rain Rain go away
I really want to play
Golf course is soaked and wet
It will be damp tomarrow I bet
Rain Rain went away
Now I can go out and play
Eat some fried cheese curds and kettle corn too
Saturday I will see a parade with you
Rain Rain you're here to stay
Washing all our stuff away
A car here a house there
We don't think it's very fair
Rain Rain go away
I really want to play
Golf course is soaked and wet
It will be damp tomarrow I bet
Rain Rain went away
Now I can go out and play
Eat some fried cheese curds and kettle corn too
Saturday I will see a parade with you

About this poem:
We have had a lot of rain here for the last two weeks which has caused a lot of damage in my area. Luckily for me I live on a hill.Do You Know Me
Do you know me
Do you know who I am
Could you love me
If you tried I know you can
If I held your hand ,would you walk with me
If I were your man
Do you see me
Do you see me as I am
If you could read my mind
Would you try to understand
What I feel inside id often hard to say
I try to find the words, there's only one way to say
I love you
I hold out my hand, help me thru the night
I give you my heart, let me know that it's right
I send you my love, let me know that you love me too
If there was music in the air, would you dance with me
Could I hold you in my arms, hold you close to me
Whisper sweet nothings in your ear
It means so much to me to have you so near
I love you, I do
Do you know who I am
Could you love me
If you tried I know you can
If I held your hand ,would you walk with me
If I were your man
Do you see me
Do you see me as I am
If you could read my mind
Would you try to understand
What I feel inside id often hard to say
I try to find the words, there's only one way to say
I love you
I hold out my hand, help me thru the night
I give you my heart, let me know that it's right
I send you my love, let me know that you love me too
If there was music in the air, would you dance with me
Could I hold you in my arms, hold you close to me
Whisper sweet nothings in your ear
It means so much to me to have you so near
I love you, I do

About this poem:
I write lyrics and put them to music, using my guitar. I imagine what I would say to a womanI'm infatuated with, yet do not know.
I will keep watching
I will keep watching...!
as you said
like a lonely man
who is watching the night sky
while awaiting for the rising of my star
I will keep watching...!
while believing
the star which I'm awaiting for
will rise for sure
I will keep watching...!
as you said
like a lonely man
who is watching the night sky
while awaiting for the rising of my star
I will keep watching...!
while believing
the star which I'm awaiting for
will rise for sure
I will keep watching...!

Dear woman from little boy
I’m your little boy,
faithful and full of love,
You are my sweet, beautiful joy,
only you, my white, little dove
You are like a glass of wine,
which makes me always drunk,
Your soul and heart are so fine,
I can say for all your loving - I thank !
My eyes are closed,
when I’m lying on my bed,
I’m entirely in you lost,
with you this little boy can be never sad
faithful and full of love,
You are my sweet, beautiful joy,
only you, my white, little dove
You are like a glass of wine,
which makes me always drunk,
Your soul and heart are so fine,
I can say for all your loving - I thank !
My eyes are closed,
when I’m lying on my bed,
I’m entirely in you lost,
with you this little boy can be never sad

About this poem:
[ winter 2002 ]let the yeats be kind
this cabin be
the same as real
though the texture
has a different feel
her fingerprints
upon the door
scuffed heel scar
upon the floor
in walked she
as moonlit shone
her ghost a'rest
upon my own
the lake her eye
oft frozen there
in forests
of her chestnut hair
I cut and peeled
a hazel wand
with berried lure
to fish her pond
I pay my line
into her fear
to catch the last
remaining tear
to bring it home
beside the fire
to dry her pain
with my desire
and when a moth
of star doth sleep
our hearts will rid
all will to weep
the same as real
though the texture
has a different feel
her fingerprints
upon the door
scuffed heel scar
upon the floor
in walked she
as moonlit shone
her ghost a'rest
upon my own
the lake her eye
oft frozen there
in forests
of her chestnut hair
I cut and peeled
a hazel wand
with berried lure
to fish her pond
I pay my line
into her fear
to catch the last
remaining tear
to bring it home
beside the fire
to dry her pain
with my desire
and when a moth
of star doth sleep
our hearts will rid
all will to weep
