(1)My first Blue Mountains journeys were on Sydney’s country trains, With scenery improving, once I’d gone past Emu Plains. I did not know the passengers around me, but perhaps one Might care to play a card game, since we’d only come to Lapstone (2)I closed my vintage fiction novel fast. So I could then look, [...]

Autumn has arrived. Trees decked out in Joseph’s coat Reds, yellows, orange, rust, green And every hue in between. Leaves dancing and fluttering in the wind Drop to earth In a dizzy spin. This wonderful display Is short lived. Winters winds will soon move in, Earth takes on a Different glow With the arrival of [...]

The pheasants are starving in four foot af snow! With Northerners blowing, at twenty below! Out there in the Soil Bank, wher snowdrifts are deep. The pheasants are lying, for- ever to sleep! The news came from Washington, right from the wire- “Feed-the-poor-pheasants!” like a prairie on fire! John found a pheasant, its last strength [...]

I give a damn- Said the wizoned old man- And he feels damn good today- For he says “THEY ARE KILLING THEMSELVES OFF NOW”- As the MOMBERS ROLLED AWAY! They SURE LIKE ME! Said the wizened old man- And he took a little snooze- Then he drank some wine- For he felt just fine- And [...]

We have always called you Annie- Tho you wandered far away, From the little hidden pathway Where the joys of childhood stay, Gone so quickly, down the pathway, LEFT US….while the vision stays, Of a Little Girl, name ANNIE- That I knew in other days. Gone so quickly, down the pathway- Left me out here, [...]

A LITTLE GAIN, a little pain, A smile lest you may moan- A few short days, called GOLDEN DAYS, Then the STARS will call us home! And so I type these little lines- And JOKE the long days through- My laugh is old, for one tooth is gone- There is nothing else to do, Man [...]

It sleeps beneath the grass and leaves, Wherever the wild winds roam- The untrod path, of Other Days- Across the hills toward HOME! The hurrieing feet of other days, Have wandered on a thousand ways- And down the little path toward home, They can return… no more! WE KNOW the years MUST drift away- Till [...]

By Heart 4 poetry on April 5, 2009
Each day is getting harder and it’s easier to sin. I can’t keep my mind straight. I can’t seem to win. I’m doing things illegal and i’ve turned into a liar. Everything is different and I’m falling in the fire. I can’t seem to stop everything I’ve done. There is no where to hide; No [...]

1 Present Day It was the first Monday in weeks when I was not in office before ten. As I saw the frosted sundial of my old citizen ticking eleven thirty, I cursed myself for the umpteenth time for choosing that insurance company. I found out that the other companies did not require so many [...]
