It isn’t the whistle that pulls the train; Nor the boom of the gun that kills, It isn’t the thunder that waters the grain; Nor the smack of the kiss that thrills, It isn’t the cackle that lays the egg Nor the grunt that makes the pork; It isn’t the flavor In an empty keg; […]
Poetry Corner: Bud Light “Listening”
I want you to say anything Even if sight unseen But don’t let me listen Just to just what you say Let me also feel what you mean
Poetry Corner: Bud Light “Blue Jeans”
Almost everyone wears them; Girls repair them; Very few people hate them; Levis makes them. Shirts match them; Zippers latch them; Snaps grip them; Wear can rip them. Blue dominates them; Bleach dates then; Dirt molds them; Belts hold them. Holes give them class; My granddaughter thinks they’re a blast!
Poetry Corner: Bud Light “To Gail”
There was a time, alone. When all that was, was known. Our modern reverie And nobody there, but we. And, oh, to hold your hand Feet curled in the sand. In one fleet moment, to feel Something truly real. And, oh, just one brief kiss. And oh
Poetry Corner: Bud Light “A Sketch from Life”
On my way home from today I came upon a scene so sad It made me mad, and caused The blueness of the sky To grey. Today. My neighbor’s son had caught a snake And with great glee, he tied it to a stake For all to see. When it was done, with all the […]
Poetry Corner: Bud Light “Mourn Not”
Mourn not untimely death; mourn not the waste of talents unrefined, of life not spent before Satanic illness, in its haste to kill reviled a life…from heaven sent. But count the moments—gems of treasured joy: The humor, strength and love he could impart. Each word, each smile—let not the grave destroy A soul which lives […]
Poetry Corner: Bud Light “Then…Now…And Maybe”
Like the tall men of fortune Who ride on yesterday’s goodbye I stand beside the gates of time Waiting for tomorrow’s first hello. As the new warmth begins to fade Beyond the hills of fear, I’ll run as close to the edge of love As my tired dreams allow. Please, then, if you will, Extend […]
Poetry Corner: Bud Light “A Letter Home from Our Beloved Cat”
Dear Mom, Dad, Kipper and Preston: I am not exactly sure where I am, but I wanted to get this letter off to you without further delay. You’ll be pleased to know I feel fine and am no longer in any pain. Throughout it all, my spirit and soul have remained intact. I feel immortal. […]
Poetry Corner: Bud Light “Faith”
It is sometimes difficult To understand. But HE does not ask us To understand. That is given us. HE asks instead Only that we believe. We cannot redo That which happened yesteryear. For I, like you, Am gone from there – beyond returning. And yet – a common thought – We (sadly) share Or, if […]
Poetry Corner: Bud Light “The Trouble with Hello…is Goodbye”
She would scorn me if she knew, That I mourn, but oh, I do. And I cried on day she died. Because she left me before I was ready. For us, it was love at first sight; Altogether, she was a beautiful person; The most gentle woman I have ever met, and yet—– She left […]
