(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,
To see surrounding bushland, as [...]

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 first white snow.
Bundle up and brave the cold
Use both hands
Your hat to [...]

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 was shorn,
And it died in his hand, too late
to eat corn!
The pheasants get [...]

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 he drank some damn good BOOZE.
Then the smoke goes higher-
An they [...]

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, all alone,
In the quiet of the eveing-
As I drive [...]

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 walks around a few short years,
From Garden patch, [...]

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 all of them are gone;
Leave only PICTURES of the [...]

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 where to run.
I’ve fallen with the world
and all of its [...]

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 tests after [...]

Fabricated with lies they told us a story
Excused without reason, justified without explanation
Brainwashed we stood – never thought it was a lie
And we listened eagerly – never read between the lines
Then they triumph over their victory
Fireworks, joy, excitement and celebration
But we only saw through our eyes
Never Asked, never questioned, never thought with our minds
Rating 3.00 [...]
