Six Swans

A poetic retelling of the Grimm's fairy tale. In a time once long ago, Unfolds a tale here to be told, A King out hunting as he would, Became sore lost in a great wood. Standing still and looking round, There was no pathway to be found, Then all at once who did appear, An old witch walking, drawing... Sign in to see full entry.

Losing It.

At my desk I sit and sit, Slowly slowly losing it. Staring, staring at the wall, Caring, caring, not at all. I only seem to come awake, When its time to take a break. Coffee, coffee, by the cup, Finish one and fill it up. Have a cigarette and then, Light another and start again. Laughing at most... Sign in to see full entry.

Serve My Love

A very silly Country/Western song. I was workin at the drive-in, Doing what I do, Servin up those burgers, Shakes and french fries too, Then you walked in through them doors, Lookin mighty fine, I turned away from that ol grill, And left them burgers fryin. Chorus: I may just be a fast food cook,... Sign in to see full entry.

Faith

I wander through life's wilderness, Endless ground, Sometimes lost, And sometimes found. Sometimes safe, And close to home, Sometimes unsure, And far from home. I have based my life, at times, On the whim's of men, And been hurt and betrayed, Time and time again. But through it all, One thing... Sign in to see full entry.

Winter Wishes

Whispered winds softly blowing, Winters whiskers flowing cold, Whitened wonders slowing glowing, Willing wishes still untold. Sighted silence hushed around me, Sunny solace but a dream, Searching songs for what can now be, More than what a wish could seem. Seasons shift in cycles slowly, Snowdrifts...

Your Eyes

Through your eyes my soul does wander, Touching hues of green and gray, As it passes through in wonder, While its drawn upon its way. To find what lies beneath the eyes, To feel the magic held inside, To know, To be, As one with thee, To see your glow as part of me. More than dream, and far beyond,... Sign in to see full entry.

Limerick

I once went on a diet, My friends all told me to try it, It went wrong in the end, And now I can't bend, For instead of baking I'd fry it. Copyright© 2008. Joseph Hotchkiss. All rights reserved. Note: This was something that I posted on Troosha's blog. She put out a challenge for some limericks. I... Sign in to see full entry.

A Cat's Story

Another long and lazy day, Boy this is where its at, Just sleep and eat and sleep some more, I love being a cat. I don't have to do one darned thing, To get my daily food, I don't even have to chase a mouse, Unless I'm in the mood. That man who thinks he owns me, Feeds me only what I wish, Or I'll...

Emptiness. A Haiku.

Lost

Dedicated to Vickip, a beautiful poet, and master of the visual image. I seek my way through darkness, Lost without my guide, The forest teems with ebon dreams, Without her by my side. The visions she provided, Always brought to me, Enlightenment and wisdom, And allowed my heart to see. Now in this... Sign in to see full entry.
