Pause and Refresh
July 29,2023 I’m taking some time to just rest and refresh,A time to reflect, to take stock and to pray.An occasional rhyme I still weave as words mesh,But nothing I’m driven to do every day. Perhaps it’s the summer, the … Continue reading
Look Around
June 23, 2023 What all do I miss with my eyes straight ahead?What would I see if I took time insteadTo look all around me, find someone in need,Touch others with kindness, a word, or a deed? If I take … Continue reading
Echoes of Bravery
May 29, 2023 I hear echoes of bravery, young ones and old,Lives lost in the wars, bodies buried and cold.Keep their memories with us, their great sacrifice.Lives given for freedom now roam paradise. They answered the call so that we … Continue reading
Time
May 6, 2023 This thing we call time, it is so hard to clutch.Like the wind it’s not something we see, or we touch.The past is behind us it can’t be undone.The future’s before us, a race to be run. … Continue reading

January 27, 2023 Some call it traditional others old fashioned,I love my words metered and flowing with rhyme.Now poetry’s changed, even rhythm is shunned.That seed that was planted way back in my prime Was encased in a pod that took … Continue reading
Just for Amusement
December 29, 2022 I doubted I would write today,Not really anything to say.Six hundred rhymes, what’s left to write?Just skip a day. I thought I might. Perhaps someone might think I’m ill,While others may have had their fill,And cast their … Continue reading
Shared Memories
December 28, 2022 I’m always surprised I keep writing each day,Mostly surprised I have something to say.I’m not really shy, just not gifted with gab.I’m more prone to listen, less likely to blab. I guess I find writing more easily … Continue reading
No Perfect Rhyme
December 27, 2022 I long to write the perfect rhymeWith words combined in perfect style,Whose lyrics pass the test of time,Allow a wounded heart to smile With words that form inside my heart,That paint a picture clear and pure,To touch … Continue reading
