Posted: 8/27/2008 9:58:59 PM | Thats a good poem river...thats all i can say about this poem, it bascially speaks for itself.
Here is an poem i written or just a little something i written, for my dad who passed away 2-22-2008
It's still so hard to realize and come to terms with you not being here anymore it's not the same as in if you had just got up and walked out on all of us at least we would know that you was still out there, but we all know where you went was not the time you wanted to leave we all know you loved us all in same ways and would never wanted us to go through this kind of pain.
I love you dad and i'm still hurting deep inside even tho i may not show it half the time around the family/friends does not mean that i'm not broken up on the inside of you passing away i never thought or realized i would see the day, where i would have to give up my dad and now all i do is think about you no matter where i am at or who is around or what kind of long day me and mom has had. | |

are those who
love you
the way you are
accepting all
the cuts and scabs
and the battle scars
to you my friend
i want to say i'm
grateful you are here
and accept me the way i am
i hold that thought so dear
so when i'm crazy as a loon
or happy as a lark
you're still my friend, e'er so near
in the lightness and the dark | |

Posted: 8/29/2008 10:46:00 PM | Hi Riv...happy Labour Day to you over there in the land of Uncle Sam. Here in NZ our Labour Day is in October.
Freely
Freely enjoy the beauty,
Of nature all around.
Freely enjoy the birdsong,
A joyful happy sound.
Freely share with othes,
Something good each day.
Cheer the hearts of fellow travellers,
As we journey along life's way. | |

Posted: 9/1/2008 7:49:16 AM | sweet breath of Autumn
gently kisses the morning Sun
wild Sunflowers dance
by the side of the road
(while Daisy rolls in some stink...but that's another story!!) | |

| Horseshoe Bay
Posted: 9/2/2008 4:21:46 AM | i combed the shores of lake huron
looking for that one special stone
that bathed in centuries of moonlight and sun
different from all the rest, my chosen one.
hour upon hour i walked the beach
picking a few here and there
but discarding all within my reach
including wasted thoughts, i became aware.
hearing the gentle swish of the water
and the loons call in horseshoe bay
the warbler's whistle in the cedars
and the distant shriek of the osprey.
the white limestone boulders
covered with blackened algae
rest on the cambrian shoulders
carved by glaciers slowly.
i followed the sandpiper's pencil trail
who skittered ahead with their twiggy legs
stopping to poke at the sand for a meal
under a young blue sky of no age.
cormorants flew just above the water's wrinkles
as a companion sun and the huron's breeze
sprayed glitter on the wave caps that twinkled
at the sleeping stars of night's fantasies.
and there among the million stones
i found a black rock with a hint of fire red
and inside the core of the rock; my thoughts alone
of the natural way of life hidden in my head. | |

Posted: 9/4/2008 5:01:41 AM | Hello people
Hammy...Thanks for dropping by. Yeah, the UP rocks!!! Going up a couple more times in Sept. and again in Oct. fishing...And of course when the ice freezes I'll be up there 4 or 5 times in the winter ice fishing...And the bars... oh yeah...the bars...
Grizzerman...Thanks! I appreciate you comment.
Tranquil Rose...I see spring has arrived over there...Thanks for the poem...Funny we stayed at a beautiful suite overlooking the Straits of Mackinaw( i got a great deal). Now this place was fancy...And you know who I talked too the most? Why the cleaning personal at the hotel. They are the ones who have the most upbeat attitudes and don't turn their noses up!
Rosie...As usual, always a pleasure when you stop by...Hey it's not fall yet...so stop talking about those autumn leaves!!!haha. Heck it was 93 degrees up here yesterday...There is still a month of swim time. Daisy rollin in some stink again huh?
Don't say I did not warn you.
Huck, haha....yeah I guess you know me pretty well...PU.
Heather....Hi Kid...Sorry about your Dad. Death is so final...Your poem has no hidden agenda, you speak so clear and direct from your heart...He would be proud of you for being such an honest person...Thanks for sharing...
Tom...Oh thats me...When are you going to put out a poem? Well Riv, it took me 5 hours to write Horseshoe Bay and that was 5 hours that I really did not have at this time. But I can just put out anything if you would like. In fact here is one, I wrote this morn., I also put it on your thread Tranquil. | |

Posted: 9/4/2008 5:06:46 AM | reddish grey sky
uncertain dawn
clouds don't lie
never wrong
read the clues
won't get scare
launch canoe
if you dare
birds not singing
in the trees
squirrels uneasy
among the leaves
funny feeling
in the air
launch canoe
if you dare
natures warnings
are everywhere
humans living
apart from there
read the signs
they are clear
no turning back
if you dare | |

Posted: 9/5/2008 8:22:20 PM | Bright beautiful spring day,
Lovely warm sun on display.
Birds are hopping over the lawn,
Soon sheep on farms will be shorn.
The damp cold of winter no longer here,
Neighbour is on his deck having a beer.
Washing is drying on the clothes line,
Everything here is going just fine. | |
