Somebody's Hero

He was raised up, on the wrong side of the tracks, with very little use, for diplomacy or tact. Every sentence involved the use, of some foul or obscene word, but for all of his life, it was the only language that he'd heard. His poverty had caused him, to lack in the social graces, but there was... Sign in to see full entry.

The Preacher..parts 3 & 4

3 months after writing the second part, I was watching a western with Jimmy Stewart where he was the mild mannered mayor of the town when the bad guys came. At one point he was addressing the town from a pulpit, trying to convince them to stand up for themselves against the outlaws. And I wondered... Sign in to see full entry.

A brief flash of existence, this act of being we call life. A gift we are given, and can lose in the blink of an eye. The purveyor of this gift, for some remain unknown, While others discover early on, their gratitude duly shown. In this brief existence, what determines whether one is evil or good?...

The King's Decision

Who are you to come before me, as this day I sit my throne? To ask forgiveness for your traitorous actions, that are now so widely known? Who are you to ask my mercy, pledge fealty to me, swearing to honor my banner, do so on bended knee? Should I now forgive all the wrongs that have been, the loss... Sign in to see full entry.

This is not you're typical poem,no sonnet, no ode, nothing ryhmes. the possibility is there..

Count..the very first poem I put on Blogit in 2009

count the stars up in the sky, count the many tears you cry, count all the feet you ever walk, count all the endless grains of salt, count the many breaths you take, count the amount of words you say, count the drops in the morning rain, count all the stalks in a field of cane, count the waves in a...
