| Chivalry defined from the Round Table Posted: 2/21/2005 4:16:16 PM | Roots To Stand
Near a running stream stood an apple tree For many seasons living peacefully When the hot summer droughts were at their worst The stream provided that the tree did not thirst It grew and rested in the open field Having plenty of apples each harvest yield
Another tree faced times much more arduous Growing on a hill droughts were more viscious Lacking water its fruit wilted and dried It had to press deeper into the hillside Years passed before roots reached a water pool This was life's adversity for survival
One day both trees met with calamity The winds of fury struck without pity The tree by the stream fell to the ground But the one on the hill stood tall and sound The years pressing on midst sufferings hand Produced roots that gave it the strength to stand. | |

| Chivalry defined from the Round Table Posted: 2/23/2005 2:18:03 AM | What is the course of our new generation Making up the rules without reservation Cursing the old as black and white is smeared gray Morals becoming relative to the day Have you heard, right is now wrong and wrong is right Attacking truth and honor is the new fight It’s the master plan to imprison what’s just And excuse transgressions to pursue their lust Many are dubious going with the trend Like waves of the sea tossed about by the wind Fooled in trickery to this deceitful plot Allowing media to confound each thought Minds open to this twisted reality Will perish quickly in perverted frailty | |

| Chivalry defined from the Round Table Posted: 2/24/2005 9:01:23 PM | Do not be anxious for tomorrow Better today to tend to sorrow
Sometimes we have to readjust And be careful whom we entrust
Many times we have to face pain Its the necessary path for gain
For if you continue pressing Someday you'll see the blessing | |

| Chivalry defined from the Round Table Posted: 2/26/2005 3:10:24 PM | Some wise sayings I never fully developed so i am just posting them as is.
1. From the cave mold rapidly increases Exposed to light its existance ceases
2. Unless corn suffers dry summer weather Harvest will yield little ears to gather
3. Warriors are sharpened by life's afflictions Fit to survive larger tribulations
4. Some problems root like the dandelion They can not just be mowed down
When we choose these quick fixes Come morning long ugly stems abound
5. The integrity of the upright Guides them to safety
But unjust people are destroyed By their duplicity | |

| Chivalry defined from the Round Table Posted: 2/27/2005 7:44:30 PM | A change of pace. Something non-serious but to make folks think.
The Sanity Of Insanity
In my life of temporal insanity I'll Express each rational thought For on one hand I am indecisive But on the other hand I am not Here I'm living in the facade of some Unknown realm of relativity Finding myself walking aimlessly In a rendezvous with uncertainty
Where an understatement is a billion Times worse than an exaggeration But it is the clearest path In a deep discerning world of oblivion So I have decided to select pre-destination As my course in life It may lead to the world of never-ever land Where I can relax in strife.
So where is such a place as this It's where I have my doubts about disbelief I will share with you what I have learned It's the folly of wisdom that gives relief It is the unrevealing truth Of duplicity that keeps us all honest You must stay alert and always be On the lookout for conspicuousness
I am still quite uncertain If I really understand ambiguity There is this increasing worry My life doesn't have enough anxiety I have this nagging fear everyone Is out to cause me paranoia Yet it is my greatest fear That I remember every repressed phobia
One morning I woke up dead Discovered there's no such thing as non-existence I avoid cliches like the plague And one thing I can't stand, it's intolerance Prejudiced folks-all alike And this world's full of apathy, but I don't care Yes, there was a time when I thought I was mistaken but it was an error
The relevation that my identity Lies in not knowing who I am Some would say I am indignant But I curse those who judge others to be d*mned Some people claim that I am superficial But that is just on the surface Some say that I am self-righteous But my ways and my words are never off base
Some say I'm vindictive but I tell them It was accidently on purpose Some say I have a foul mouth when angry Who says I am angry when I cuss. Some say I have a drinking problem But I do not have a problem drinking Some say I need to stop to think But fail to tell me when to resume thinking.
It's my practice to always try to do things In chronological order Being patient has me real anxious If I don't succeed, I may risk failure If I better understand recursion I must first understand recursion I'm not redundant by repeating myself It's Deja Vu all o'er again.
I over heard Santa Clause explaining There is no such thing as make believe I met a stripper at her club and she said There isn't nothing up her sleeve I personally think exaggeration Is not all it's cracked up to be. Perhaps the delusion of illusion Has become the sole reality.
I leave everyone with my greatest advice Do not chew with your mouth full If at first you do not succeed Then not going skydiving is the best rule Do as I say not as I do and stop Listening to the hypocrate I can promise life will be like a cherry Eat the fruit be left with a pit. | |

| Chivalry defined from the Round Table Posted: 3/1/2005 3:33:38 PM | That last post was meant to be amusing filled with a bunch of oxymorons. Often times here at POF the feedback forums can get like that and just confound the mind. Especially in the current events. Lol.
Next post back to something serious from a parable.
Would you be so foolish As to build your house On the sand As the streams rise and winds blow No longer will the house Stand Yet how often do we hear But do not practice What's right Just like the house crumbled So will fool's be crushed In the fight | |

"Fight Night"
Hearing crowds, cheer and roar from a dimly lit, little room where a coach, does his chores
rub downs and wrapping hands one man, ready too make, a stand
gloves are on, lased real tight getting ready, for a fight tonight
for this night, two men go in but only, one will win
running, was my constant companion so i can, last longer hitting the bag, gave me more power so i can hit, stronger
training, i say night and day believing, to win
no room for doubt for i'll win, this bout on this, very day
the time grows near, the announcer speaks calling my name, as crowd begin to cheer
ding... ding... the bell, does ring marking, the start of the match for the time, his here
for two contenders, are we entering the ring, man to man pain to pain for all, too see
one will be, victorious the other, will die in shame for two, modern day warriors will make war, this day
hand too hand and battle, of wits for muscle blows but, many psychological hits
modern day gladiator's, are we training body, mind and soul to fight, you see
who will win, this fight? the man, who'll remain standing this night, will be

| Chivalry defined from the Round Table Posted: 3/5/2005 8:22:32 AM | This poem will be posted in both threads not sure which topic it belongs in.
When The Pieces Don't Fit
Thousand pieces scattered about the floor One to another slowly to restore Connected parts revealing a story Like the evidence before a jury
The stimulated imagination Musing over this obscure creation Mystery unfolding with each find This development entices the mind
First disclosures in the imagery The rocks and sand meet with a tumbling sea Long strands of grass stringing through a sand mound And a large boat sailing into the sound
Two hands join when two more pieces affix A man and woman, the picture depicts Strolling the beach gazing at each other Towards the sound and a distant harbor
Couple more pieces ‘til the puzzle’s done Needed to assemble the horizon But in total frustration none attach Similar in color but still don’t match
What over shadows from the unknown sky Unanswered questions where the futures lie Love is like this puzzle so it would seem Pieces don’t fit complicating the dream
A picture will sing a thousand verses Ponder like the songwriter rehearses What’s in the portrait other than the sky? Is this pair saying hello or goodbye?
Is the love built on a rock or on the sand? When the waves collide how long will it stand? Will grass keep sand dunes from blowing away? When the boat docks who will go, who will stay?
Resolve rests in the faces of the two The eye of the wise will see what is true Love’s puzzle, piecing the difficulty Their countenance speaks the verses to be | |

| Chivalry defined from the Round Table Posted: 3/8/2005 7:28:58 PM | A person who does not stay on A straight path Made clearer Is like the one who Looks at their face In the mirror But after looking Forgets the look Of the reflection Careless in their standards And aimless in their Direction
No one ever said Walking the narrow path Is light We all stop to smell the roses Off the trail, Losing sight But if you lose your way Then listen as the winds Whisper A still small voice calls for All, your sight will Become crisper | |

| Chivalry defined from the Round Table Posted: 3/10/2005 3:13:38 PM | Hello, Black Knight... I hope that your doing well... I wanted to come on by and write a spell... For things, have been difficult as my poem, will explain... Hoping for better times, on higher, plains...
"Retreat"
Went too retreat, religious place for men, too meet gave us cermons, to teach other things, in life that be
prayer meetings, sorrowful confessions many looking, for answers in life, you see
our leaders, told us that things, would change but first, things would go wrong too test, our faith
they sure, weren't kidding for downslides, my life has been till now, feels like an eternity
losing friends, one or two promising relationships broken, in two
seeking, higher power's is harder, than first thought
for much sacrifies, i've endured for last few days, at too much the cost, i'm sure
no more, hidden surprises i can't stand, for i am human...! no stone nor iron, i am just a man
i feel pain and sorrow hope, it's only part of the plan too tear me down later to lift me, to higher ground again
for, i don't know how much more, i can take cause, there are times, when i feel i may break
i guess...? the soul is being torn apart too see, if i believe with a steady, heart beating, within me
hopefully, things will all change soon giving me hope, in this life i choose, too cruise
giving me, insights too all... good things and pure for this, lonely heart is seeking, to endure

| Chivalry defined from the Round Table Posted: 3/10/2005 8:02:44 PM | Well Gerry the valleys are not very pleasant but on the other hand its where the fruits and vegetation grow. Not much up on the mountain tops so we have to come down to be fed. I do hope things get better.
STANDING IN FAITH
Standing in crossroads of life, too many options to make In which direction to go or what vehicle to take Deluge of tears in the valley, mountains overshadow But find comfort in rod and staff and flood's become shallow Let go of misleading words that have us peering at our face Everyday we fall short but get up and finish the race The wisdom from another should impart confirmation To what the wind already spoke that gave the revelation Self made guilt, self fulfilling prophesy, left downtrodden Holding on after confessing, doubting that it's forgotten Some problems root like dandelions, they can't be mowed down Choosing these quick fixes, come morning long ugly stems abound We are at constant life long war with the carnal mind But with each morning sun to rise, new mercies to find Get out of the dark cave where mold rapidly increases Expose oneself in the light where it's existance ceases Mighty warriors are not born but made by life's afflictions Roots to stand firm, fit to survive larger tribulations It's faith providing us with assurance of things hoped for Belief of things not yet seen to opportunities door Everyday we face trouble but there's blessings in disguise If we look at the glass half full making choices for the wise | |
