Boom Boom
boom boom
fourth of july
fireworks up high
zoom zoom
air force planes fly
pilots up high
swish swish
navy slips by
sailors kept dry
vroom vroom
army roars by
soldiers march by
boom boom
loud battle cry
we wonder why
doom doom

Can I read you some verse
Wandering across the sky are lonely planets.
The night is calm and the stars show their glory.
You are tucked beneath blankets.
Now let us share a simple story.
As your eyes close on this day,
See the adventures you traversed.
I have a simple question for you,
What if I read you some verse?
About your coming life.
Full of laughter and love.
Sharing with a beautiful wife.
Wonderful children to take care of.
About your future days on this earth.
Where you'll continue to develop
Contribute, and share your...

Peaceful Forest
Walk among the trees of the forest
Light breeze
Vibrant colors
Invigorating smells
Harmonizing sounds
Trees, birds, small animals
Old, young, all different species
Some deformed, challenged, ill
An integrated community
A natural beauty
Peace
Remember the beautiful diversity of the forest
When you visit your neighbors
Or are surrounded by strangers
That appear different, speak other languages,
Walk among the people of the earth ...

My Dear Friend
A dear friend
Has decided to have a baby
She's older now,
But never developed marketable skills
But, she's going to have a baby
By herself
My children,
Who are older now too,
Who know my dear friend well
Think that's a shame
The new born will have a difficult life
My dear friend
Who's life has been and continues to be
A constant struggle
Due to limited ability
To cope with
All the rules and requirements
Is going to have a baby
Have we reached a point where having a baby...

Depression
Depression
Surrounds me
A silent shadow
Dimming the light
Simple reasons
Fears of tomorrows
What will be
What we can't see
Depression
Life long companion
I don't need
I must continue
For those close that depend on
My minor contributions
Minor contributions
Do they really matter
Can they really matter
Do I really matter
Any more

Three Limericks
Today's Hunt
We fish for a day without catching
We hunt for some prey without bagging
We travel slow without sound
Sun came up and went down
Bought groceries frozen for eating
Happy Birthday
Your birthdays are rare but we come here
To celebrate heartily each year
While earth gets unraveled
We patiently traveled
And waited to come for our cake share
Here's one about work, my favorite topic it seems...
Daily Waltz with Work
Today, all tomorrows, you don't say ...
We fish for a day without catching
We hunt for some prey without bagging
We travel slow without sound
Sun came up and went down
Bought groceries frozen for eating
Happy Birthday
Your birthdays are rare but we come here
To celebrate heartily each year
While earth gets unraveled
We patiently traveled
And waited to come for our cake share

Y Write
I'm all alone
Yet writing poem
Will it be read
Will I get fed
Why do we read
What others pen
Satisfies need
Takes away when
Should we speak of
War, money, love
Have read enough
Of same old stuff
Yet we take pen
And write again
To reach another
A soul brother
Yet writing poem

Summer Rain
Memories in the sky
Happy clouds floating by
Shadows on the wall
Summer day, all in all
I remember long ago
Things you used to do
We had a wonderful time
True love in our prime
We used to sing along
With all those joyful songs
Remember...
Memories in the sky
Happy clouds floating by
Shadows on the wall
Distance rumbling of a squall
Children so full of life
Everything was so right
Joined them at the pool
Watched them at the school
Children grew up men ...
Happy clouds floating by
Shadows on the wall
Summer day, all in all

Now you know
We don't have souls
We have bodies
We are souls
Now you know ...

Won't You Come On In
Welcome my old friends.
Come in, sit a spell.
It's good you're here again.
I trust you're feeling well.
Let me take your coats.
We can share some time.
Listen to some notes,
relax and share some wine.
Old red embers are a glowing.
Rekindle with some logs and they'll be crackling.
The cold weather outside is nothing.
Soon this fire will be sparkling.
