Low Born

Written in one of my sombre moods. I reread it today for the first time since I wrote it. Give it a go and tell me what you think.

Thank You

      A few days ago I got an email from a dear friend and loyal supporter here on newsvine. I was touched by her note and have decided to return to newsvine as an active participant.

Just a note to let you know.

Recently, I received a email from a newsvine friend expressing sadness at my absence from this community. I responded to the email and after contemplating her words decided to publish this short explanation. I am doing fine, but am experiencing a little bout of writer's block.

Choices

    Choices we make shape our life, From cars we drive to a choice of wife. Preferences change from time to time, Sometimes without reason often without rhyme.   Color or texture can affect selection, Just as a choice of words sway election. Oft we make mistakes b …

Sorrow's Mask

  What do you say to those in pain? What will console a heart lay bare? Words are hollow, empty of promise, Yet often they are all we have to share.   Hearts pushed to their limits, Must function despite their loads. Given life’s struggle, Up and down its long bat …

Borrowed Time

Encumbered by a life unfit to live, I feel at times unsure to give. Forces around me control my world, Leave me to feel empty and devoid.   Eat this, drink that too, Just another animal caught in a zoo. My cage designed to keep me secure, Easy to control, time to endure. &nb …

Letter From Jesus

Last Sunday the preacher at the church where I attend gave us all an assignment. He is also my brother in law and has at times inspired some of my poetry. The assignment was to write a letter from Jesus, welcoming you into his cast of followers.

The Right Question

It won’t die, But it won’t live. So much potential, Unable to give.   Life is such a struggle, To attain our goals. We ignore many lighthouses Wind up on shoals.   To live up to promise, Is oft hard to do. We exist with decisions, We often survive to rue. & …

Paired Warriors

We are at war, steeds astride, We fight all comers high or low tide. We battle nature in every way, We may be engaged this very day. We fight with and for each other, We feel each pain we try to smother. Our souls are linked in mortal warfare, Our lives forever, we choose to sha …

Young Love

    ‘Til I am ready to be owned, Don’t treat me like you, do. I am not ready to live, My life in a gilded zoo.   Love doesn’t possess me, It cannot be my jail. It must free my spirit, Allow me to suceed or fail.   I cannot soar high, With thi …

Love, MOM

Honor thy mother so a world cries, But upon this day I think. I will honor my child, Who provides me with a link.   God teaches me through you, How he feels from day to day. When I think about your life, What you do, what you say.   I see his love fashioned, Through eye …

I Will Not Quit on You

I will not quit on you, No matter what comes today. I will not quit on you, No matter what you say.   You may flee my side, Walk in foreign lands. Peel away my clasped fingers, From my loving hands.   I will not quit on you, I stand here in wait. I will not quit on you, …

Love's Delight

    A heart filled with love, Will show its purity. Where hate has no room to grow, Will come serenity.   Loves absence make life difficult, Limits a camel's travel. Hamper life's transition, As times continues to unravel.   Hate is a mighty agent, With power …

NFL Drop Dead Date?

I fell in love with the game of American football when I was ten years old. I played at the pop warner level and then again in high school once I was cleared by my doctor. I had been in an accident in middle school (called Jr.

Run Before The Storm

Spring, drops from a sky so high. A cold rain that borders on hail. Cut by shards with sharp, bitter promise. Needs a heart that will never fail. Future life supplied with fallen bounty. Swollen ribbons of blue they bring,

Glories of Spring

Birds chirp, squirrels bark, Frogs croak in our little park. Bees buzz about their job, From petal to petal nectar they rob. Machines drone mid day so fair, Smell of fresh cut grass permeates the air. 'Neath the shade of a beautiful Magnolia tree,

Crayons of Life

In our box, side by side we lie, Each of us different and yet same. Await the practiced hand, To put us in the game. Alone we stand forgotten, forever with out worth. Until we are worked in union, Right here on God's green earth.

Nuisance

A constant companion throughout time, As days go by he continues to climb. Early, sometimes before dawn, He preys on all until we are gone. Etched on faces in times of strife, He lives forever in everyone's life. From first swat to final draw,

Banner of My Heart

Effort was made, I know not why. Presented with a flag, As they walked by. Elderly veteran stepped out, Of a long parade line. Gave me a boost, Made my heart chime. A small piece of cloth, On a pole of wood. Touched me deeply,

Sad Today, Joyous Tomorrow

As we witness each tragedy, We stand side by side. Ends that tie threads together, Leave us in desperate divide. Reality is not so neat and tidy, It is mixed with different choices. Pain and joy joined in dance, Sour endings and new sources.

Nature's Opus Of Light

Rivers of fire amid sky, Leave many to gaze. In awe of beauty, A frozen moment of time. We marvel at power, Nature's display possesses. It moves our emotions, Sends chemicals to race within. Artist work in many mediums,

My Friend Agony

Each breath an agony, Each move costs so much. Each thought could be my last, Waiting for a human touch. My fault for sure, I failed to keep up. Put off necessary change, Drank too deeply from life's cup.

Worth No More?

To contemplate your worth, Requires a measured standard. Life certainly makes you think, About your time on earth. Our worth in early years, Is obivous to many. We have endless hope, With almost no fears. In our prime,
