Birds of a feather, fly on together, through the weather, for so much the better. But birds of a feather, don't know whether, they'll be together, for now and forever. The birds and the bees, may make love, in sycamore trees, high up above. But turtle doves, and bumble bees, don't know our love,... Sign in to see full entry.

A HYMN FOR A GREEN BERET
A HYMN FOR A GREEN BERET Of gold and silver much more you're worth, Which can never replace your joy and mirth, From Peggy and Charles came your birth, To stand for freedom upon this earth. Mighty soldier now anon, From Ohio, near the mound of Enon, We praise you, tho now your gone, In our hearts... Sign in to see full entry.

FOREST FOR THE TREES
FOREST FOR THE TREES Beside the river's branch, he can not leave, and here must stick, all green and brown. Naught he pines, with colours ash, nor willowy weeps, though rooted down. Winds may bark, he humbly bows, though needled thick, logs not a frown. No timbred voice, bemoans wearied limbs, for... Sign in to see full entry.
I REMEMBER, MOMMA
I REMEMBER, MOMMA I remember, Momma, you held me through the night, or rocked my wooden cradle, oft until daylight. I remember, Momma, your warm, tender touch, how you cared for me, with love so very much. I remember, Momma, a beautiful, lovely sight, your golden, flowing hair, before the window,...

PALADIN
PALADIN Hail the Paladin from the North, a master warrior from village Gorth, black lacqured armour with vambraces and tassets, greave covered legs, coarse gloves with facets. With longsword and broadsword in a brace, along with knives and a spiny mace, into the marsh, where the dragon fell, with a... Sign in to see full entry.

MY PATH TO PRAYER
MY PATH TO PRAYER Not my works or lowly deeds, Even mounted on worthy steeds, Prayer my spirit really needs, among leaf, willow, reeds. I know a path that leads where, I often go for solemn prayer, To be with God, my life to share, A weary path, no grass grows there. I boldly go but humbly bow, For... Sign in to see full entry.

FARMER'S DAUGHTER
FARMER'S DAUGHTER Well she's a farmer's daughter, Likes to hear a country band, Does just what she oughter, She's the fairest in the land. She don't want no city slickers, Don't want no panty waste, Won't have no man that bickers, A getting in her face. Well she knows how to pick 'em, And knows when... Sign in to see full entry.

SASQUATCH
SASQUATCH Down the shores of the old Suwannee, Below the lands of the Cherokee, Way beyond the Okefenokee, On past the Creeks and Micanopy, Till past the fields of Immokalee. West of the waters of the big moon, Where the river flows thru grass, South of the Seminoles of Okeechobee, Is the lair of... Sign in to see full entry.

DREAM BOAT
DREAM BOAT Your lovely vision I've set adrift, and through my mind it does float, from me to me, a subtle gift, created from an intimate mental note. Though we not speak, a lover's rift, your presence, my mind, does emote, and makes my troubled spirit lift, to think of you, my Dream Boat. (Dedicated... Sign in to see full entry.

MY VALENTINE
MY VALENTINE You wrote me once and then once more, Of how you cherish our days of yore, And storing each memory first and last, Of our life together, in the past. Although I love and cherish these too, I have some important news for you, Do not ponder long on the times we've had, With tearful eye... Sign in to see full entry.

MOOD SWINGS
MOOD SWINGS Now when I'm feeling blue, and I know it's true, that it's only you, that will only do. I love our slow dances, and evening romances, with captivating trances, which desire enhances. I love our breathless dates, while exchanging intimates, our passion initiates, while caution hesitates.... Sign in to see full entry.

TEMPTATION
TEMPTATION Like a diamond in the sky, It glowed in a setting of pink mist, Above a fluorescent purple haze, And beckoned him to come near. Yet he knew this he could not do, For to another he must be true, To falter would give the devil his due, He would perish, for all he knew. Alas, in his younger... Sign in to see full entry.

GRIM REAPER
GRIM REAPER Death, all pale and waxen, No pearly tooth or hair like flaxen, Pursues each like a relentless suitor, Patiently, like a bad child's tutor. Beckoning with peril and thrill, Or cheap promises in a pill, Like a hawker on the street, revealing trinkets or something sweet. Sometimes with... Sign in to see full entry.

IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL
IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL My soul was like a misty veil, covering glen and dale, wherein winds a twisty trail, to set a course, no avail. Oft set adrift without a sail, tempest tossed in a mighty gale, wave swept, rail-to-rail, rudder set with rusty nail. Wandering, not found, not lost, seeking, at... Sign in to see full entry.

TIGER FROM THE NIGHT
TIGER FROM THE NIGHT Runs the tiger from the night, wings of birds have taken flight, and all that tarry in the light, must follow, or stand and fight. Stirs the panther in his lair, and lusts not for further fare, but saited, which is rare, and challenges not the dare. The sweat of the sun, spurs... Sign in to see full entry.

POET
POET Shall I in verse and rhyme, make plain for you each time, or do as I ought, and stir my ink thick with thought. To you in lyric verse, I choose to converse, these words I'll not reverse, nor practice to rehearse. If my words do entwine, like the ivy on the vine, be not become with fraught, but...

The Autumn Leaves
The Autumn Leaves The autumn leaves fall down, floating, swirling and twirling, and cover the cold, old ground, and blow round, round, round. Over country, city and town, gold, copper and bronze abound, oft gathered in many a mound, except rustling make not a sound. Blustery breezes merrily clown,... Sign in to see full entry.

THE STRAND
THE STRAND I walk the sand, a narrow strand, and all the while, I hold your hand. As we walk this land, hand-in-hand, we stop and smile, and think it grand. By breezes we are fanned, and glowing lightly tanned, for any other is not our style, we, together, is our brand. Not for sweet or bland, nor... Sign in to see full entry.

THE HEARTBEAT OF AMERICA
THE HEARTBEAT OF AMERICA Proudly waves the Standard of Freedom, Raised on the halyard of By-The-People, Struck upon the mast of Democracy, Rooted in the foundation of our forefathers. Standing sentinel above America the beautiful. Long has it suffered, long has it endured, From the shot heard around... Sign in to see full entry.
