Wandering Through the Forest Mention fleetingly that you’re going to a friend’s house. You’re not really, Are you? Instead, you turn left, along the path; Not right, towards the village. You’re going towards the forest. The magical forest Your mother says it’s off limits. What she doesn’t know, Won’t ever hurt her. You reach the edge of the forest. It’s dark in there And cool. Taking out your Jacket from your bag, You slip off your shoes And put them into the bag, Along with the sketch pad And pastel blue pencil case. You know the sweet spot. Tip toe, Barefoot on the cool, dry leaves. Quietly; It’s like there’s A big do not disturb sign. You here a bird chirp here, Nervous scurrying there. Suddenly a strong wind Picks up. Blows, almost howling. Awakens the whole forest The loose leaves, Now floating around your knees, The trees, now alive. Watching. You’re nearly there. It’s a small clearing. Like Jacob’s Ladder, A patch of sun Shines upon the grass Between gnarled old Maple Tree roots. You sit, and lean against one. Now you watch silently And wait. You take out your pad and pencils. You run a pale hand over the roots, Then sketch them. You sketch the critters That scurry with Such nervous haste. The trees; The entire forest. In all its beauty, It’s your one spot To truly call your own. Where by taking off your shoes, You can feel the leaves, Feel her breaths; Beneath your feet. It’s your place Where you Can feel alive.
As I Sit
As I sit,
I stare
At the bright blank page.
It screams at me:
Write something meaningful,
Or humorous,
But something people
Will actually like.
And if it turns into a chore,
You must cease.
As I sit,
And ponder,
I stare around my surroundings
Whatever to write about?
I wonder.
Perhaps a dashing man,
A lost cause;
A yearning love.
Perhaps a wild horse;
Or even one of
My fears;
My dreams.
Behind this veil,
I write what I wish.
Those people
Who read this
Won’t ever know
Whether it’s imagination
Or maybe something more.
As I sit,
I smile.
For what
I have created
May not be a masterpiece,
But, man;
Writing it
Was like living a second life.
Call For Healing | Frodo Baggins
Call For Healing | Frodo Baggins
I beseech you all to pray for my dog
A strange request upon this blog
But Frodo has a growth near his inner ear
And this discovery has caused some fear
The vet will prod further to find out why
This inner ear growth makes Frodo cry
So in the meantime I ask you to pray
That whatever [...]

Breakfast Poetry | Custom Verse
From a gathering of mighty companions on September 5, 2009
Whoever gets that promotion,
award,
admiration,
love, peace, joy
is YOU
and therefore
the opposite is true
So wish your brothers well
the truest joy and light
and soon ONLY peace
will be privy to your sight

I am still -
- as God created me
I need not do
I may simply be
My thoughts alone
can bring [...]

When I hear the same suggestion from many different sources, I better listen. Over the past week I have heard from several people that Personal Verse should offer song lyrics. So, here is a lyrical version of an earlier post, “Truth is True”. Only lyrics are offered, as the extent of [...]
A Gift of Love | Any Lengths
A Gift of Love | Any Lengths
For “Locks Of Love” this sonnet is written
to celebrate my shortest haircut ever
a look with which I am totally smitten
I am amazed at how much I could sever!
Having made a donation two times before
but growing enough to keep a shoulder length
such a drastic change no one could ignore
I feared [...]
Truth is True
Truth is True
I know the Truth about you
though you may be in denial
you need not build a case
for you are not on trial
I know the Truth about you
and the pain you feel inside
fighting to maintain illusion
but you can no longer hide
Because I know the Truth
and the way that I can tell
is having been there myself
I’ve [...]

Personal Verse for Polar Bears
When you go to vote on Election Day
think of the Northern Lights
The miracle of their colors,
when caught within our sight,
And the great white bears beneath them,
struggling to stay alive
Even in normal conditions,
it is difficult for them to survive.
>
What conditions are abnormal?
A question you might ask.
It is a condition that is global.
