(1)Young Tom visited his great aunt, until he was ten years old, And soon after his next birthday, her old mansion would be sold, Since she died, and he would miss them both, as nine years changed the date. He completed school, did two years work, and started college late. (2)At the end of his [...]

Is she waiting in the snowfall of an unseen distant plateau, That still lives today on Christmas cards all packed up now? Is that so? Would the lamps that light the pathways put a glow upon her face? Are these images of fantasies all gone without a trace? Is she staring from the window of [...]

The Clairvoyant Little feet hastened on the grass, To the call of a mother, She was her mother since those days, Days of gory crimes the two were unaware, But there was one man, who knew it all, He dreamt of white flashes and red rivers, Suffered a saga of bloodshed, Drugged himself [...]

Fortunate Have you ever considered? How fortunate you are To gaze at the sky And see a star, And say to yourself I wonder how many there are? To walk through a garden And smell the rose. Skip through dewy grass In your bare feet and toes Before the sun arose? Take long walks [...]

I feel the the dew from the fresh cut grass beneath my bare feet. The sweet, alluring scent of the blossoming trees catches my attention as the warm, peaceful breeze wraps me in comfort. I find myself wondering in a bed of flowers and just in the middle stands a delicate, red rose. The divine [...]

I never see John anymore- The yeras have come between- He left for Minnesota In the fall of Seventeen- An’ then we both got married, An’ the years have skipped away- Since we were little boys at Home A Fiddleing “Nellie Gray”! The wind was blowing the prairie grass- Both of us boys were poor- [...]

The BIG-BUCK lived a happy life- And roamed the prairies round; A hunting for the PRETTIEST DOE, That he ever found! Untill one day the Hunters came- He held his head up high! He saw again the daylight dim- HE SAW THE MORNING SKY! This BIG-BUCK knew me many a time- He watched me on [...]

They say there’s a tree in the forest- Where the leaves with the ivy twine- THAT TIME CAN NEVER FADE AWAY- AND THERE IS HER NAME… with mine! The winds still sway that Sweetheart Tree, Where summer days still shine- And there is HER NAME on the SILVER TREE, And written so close to mine! [...]

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 [...]

She pulled herself out of the water, nails digging into the soggy riverbank, choking on weeds and coughing up the muck from the riverbed. She lay still for a while, long wet tendrils of her dark hair straggling across her face, her fingers embedded into the moss and leaves beneath her. Her jeans, heavy with [...]
