In celebration of Easter Written for my Christian cyber friends The Setting of this poem: Immediately following His death and the resurrection, Jesus reconnects with his dispirited followers to encourage them. They were so unhappy they didn’t recognize who it was walking beside them on the way to their home in Emmaus.

Down by the brook where the wild rushes grow Making their nests in the rush growth there, Away from the stream where the swift waters flow Migrating ducks safe their fledglings bear. Singing their songs in joyous praise, Seeking their food in the mud banks near, To hastily return when alarm calls raise Sheltering their fluffy brood from man with fear.

Now my Father was a man who liked to think outside the box He expected us to learn to do the same, “Think big” he’d say, for knowledge is the key when kismet knocks And kismet is the one to start the game. One day I got to thinking as I played beneath the house And kismet came to visit as I thought, The impression … Continue reading Kismet

He lay on sand a sober man and thought of what might be, His precious love in yonder house in care of family The gathering dusk was settling in a melancholy mood That aching feeling deep inside revealed his lack of food. The family didn’t him approve, they’d whisked her from his sight But Eric had that yearning still he’d give it one last fight. … Continue reading True Love
To all you cyber friends of mine I offer you my Valentine, And trust that on this happy day You’ll hear your own true lover say “I love you,” and they give to you A lot of presents, not a few, And do those things that build your trust As acts of love not ‘cause they must; And when at … Continue reading My Valentines

The announcer on our evening news Was looking rather glum, Presenting all the latest views Assuming we were dumb He told us that the outer space We’d poisoned over years Would soon destroy the human race He almost came to tears! Then focused on the raging wars That flourished round the earth Through broken glass and shattered doors And flying broken turf Came cries of … Continue reading The News
