Goodbye Neil RIP
Tonight the moon will shine a little bit differently.
The wounded world will look at it and try to heal.
A part of us all is still up there
And another part passed on with Neil.

SUNSET AT THE LAKE
SUNSET AT THE LAKE. the last minutes of the day vanish forever into the darkness to the sounds of chirping crickets, crackling campfires, and waves crashing against the bank. The day is gone forever, but the night has just begun.

ARTIST VERSUS POET.
Color versus rhyme.
The artist paints pictures on canvas with paint,
While the poet in your mind a picture paints.
Each bring pleasure in their own way.
Each has a message to say.
The artist whether painter or poet may pass away,
But their work will stand the test of time.

America the beautiful-ish
How beautiful the roadkill we pass by every day the busted semi tires we try to miss along the way the fast food bags and candy wrappers and beer cans everywhere how can we fix the problems here if no one even cares?
A clean America is a happy America. When people have to see trash everywhere they go it's kind of like living in a junkyard. Put your trash in the landfills where they belong and give America a chance to be beautiful again.
Don't pollute; give trash the boot.

America's Greatest Heroes
March proudly down the street
They who put their lives on the line
For the country they love
Carrying our beloved Stars And Stripes
Through the city and followed by a few
Police cars and beauty queens
In a parade that ends all too fast

Sometimes we have trouble understanding His plan,
But it always works out in the end.

Will be met again on some future day.

And when it was ready He called you there.

watching the mail for her letters and

praying for a safe tour
and a speedy return

And never get tired

C'est magnifique
Springtime weather
Is so sweet
Poetry
A small part of me
I sometimes share it
Here with thee
One month a year
We recognize
The art that brings
Tears to our eyes
Its Poetry month
So spread the word
Let the worlds greatest
philosophers once again be heard

A haiku for you
A haiku for you
In celebration of a
New poetry month
May the gods of verse
Fill all your creative minds
With inspiration.

Eternal Portraits
Just like a camera
Frozen in time
Not captured on film
Just descriptive rhyme
Frozen in time
Not captured on film
Just descriptive rhyme
Poetry captures history
And signs of the times
In pictures that don't fade
In picturesque rhymes
And signs of the times
In pictures that don't fade
