Old Sonnets
December 9, 2022 We respect the old poets, each line that they wrote,Like musical lyrics in need of a note.We love the old verses, the crafting, the style,They lodge in the heart and they stay for a while. We quote … Continue reading
Simple Words
December 8, 2022 I love to write rhyme it’s just something I do.My writing’s straight forward not hard to construe.My poems are quite simple, no need to explain.They’re easy to read, some would say they are plain. If I look … Continue reading

December 7, 2022 A snuggled down Lucy asleep in my lapA time to curl up and to finish her nap.As I sip on my coffee and stroke her soft furI capture my thoughts as they stretch, and they stir. The … Continue reading

Be Wise
November 29, 2022 Words can be passionate, strong and sincere,Persuasively spoken and easy to hear,But under the surface the motives are wrong.It’s more about power, exciting a throng. Beware of an eloquent passionate speechThat tries to entice you, persuade you, … Continue reading
