  • 20060708-Bull’s Eye

    I’m not afraid to protect and defend
    anyone who would make me a good friend.
    I took a test and passed with one missed score.
    I wanted perfections to this I swore.

    With this fine license I did acquire,
    the right and safety on how to fire.
    A rented browning was easy to point.
    My first bull’s eye mark did not disappoint.

    My purpose is a novice warrior
    who has to stop being a worrier.

    A simple attempt at quatrains (in pentameter)…

  • 20060708-Hearthly Home

    A sixth poem to JB of Florida wherever he may roam…

    A home is a temporal place on this earth.
    A home is an eternal place somewhere.
    We have chosen to live here since our birth.
    We have originated somewhere there.

    Our souls forever dream in endless flights.
    The stars and planets are beyond our reach.
    Our travels are among different sites.
    Many are here and now to guide and teach.

    My thoughts keep repeating this lonely phrase –
    I want to go home now for all these days.

    Simple goals in life bring simple pleasures.
    My heart is thankful for being with you.
    I thank you out loud as solemn treasures.
    My arms are open to love you so true.

    My home is here and I know where to find.
    From nowhere and everywhere, there is me.
    There are loving folks of the kindred kind.
    My heart beats always and forever free.

    My world takes small steps as I sing this praise –
    My home is with you now and for always.

    Another attempt at two sonnets (in pentameter)…

    Blue Squirrel Smiling

    Another poem to my younger and only brother…

    My brother drew a smiling squirrel to me.

    He was born a Gemini and in May.

    His photos showed smiling faces each day.

    He had tufted up hair and a precious glee.

    His active state allows him to run free.

    His passion is cycling the days away.

    He made his models and are on display.

    His ancient soul is creative to see.

    He learned to play piano and guitar.

    His handsome features attract many kinds.

    He is nice but messy like his Pig sign.

    His height is much taller than me by far.

    He keeps busy with whatever he finds.

    He will be loved always as one of mine.
