D-DAY: THE SOLDIER'S SORROW
Tue Feb 09, 2010 12:41 am by antropolis
Blood flowed in little streams
Young soldiers give up dreams
Everyone is full of fright
There is sobbing in the night
Guns exploding here and there
The smell of death is in the air
Innocent people being shot
Give up now? He thinks not!
Parts of bodies washed ashore
Causing sorrow more and more
Fighting the way to Omaha Beach
It seem...

The Ocean In Winter
Mon Feb 08, 2010 10:24 pm by Carol Perroni
*
As we stand on ocean cliffs,
the wind sears through us
with its cold memories,
like the angles of ice
catching our warm feet
as we try to step over
the frozen cracks

The visit of snow
lying quietly on rounded inlets
can feel like the soft touch
of a hand over jagged rocks
glowing in the moonlight,
o...

Love is Important
Mon Feb 08, 2010 3:43 pm by Doreen Hampshire
When man falls in love with a woman
Love is found, new life begins
So celebrate till day is done
While staying together
Whatever life will bring.

Happy is the home, where love resides
Laugh and be merry with friends
As joy is shared by everyone
So work hard, and make sure
Your love never ends.

Love is important so work at...

The two edged sword.
Sun Feb 07, 2010 11:56 am by backstreetdreamer
I sat alone and looked out on a year of distant dreams
A sentinel of something good, at least that’s how it seems,
When as each year crept quietly away from all it knew
There felt such a sense of sameness, such a hint of deja-vu,
For all things come to he who waits, at least my Father said
And from a boy I prayed for them, before I went to bed,
Bu...

The Edge of Life
Mon Feb 08, 2010 12:32 pm by poeticmum
Hear I stand on the edge of life
Looking back at what I’ve become
Nothing special just a trail travesty of pain
all of those things that can’t be undone

Hear I stand on the edge of life
To you it must be absurd
The tears keep rolling down my face
My words are never heard

When I was young nothing mattered
I watched as my...

An Easter Meditation
Mon Jan 11, 2010 4:36 pm by Ian Russell
The light that shone throughout the world
From that first Easter morn
Is still as bright and strong today
As when it first was born

It has lasted now two thousand years
And will last many more
So let us the message spread abroad
From shore to farthest shore

Tell out of how our Saviour died
To cancel all our sin
So le...

Winter Sunlight
Tue Jan 26, 2010 12:14 am by Carol Perroni

She disappeared out of the
diamond winter sunlight
into the shadow world,
where a tree stood shivering
at its edge

She wanted to calm the tree,
but it only cast its book of words
down on the pages of snow at her feet
for her to read

A language written in a code of shadows
like the crosshatchings from a qu...

THE FALLING RAIN
Sun Feb 07, 2010 7:22 pm by antropolis
When he sees the falling rain, his spirit soars transcending the intranscendental,
His mind levitates above the horizon,
When he hears the falling rain, he remembers 'yard' Jamaica, and zinc-roof-music,
Rain drops pianoing on his roof and forever going on and on

When he sees the falling rain he sees life, he sees blood rushing thru the veins
Of men under sheets...

A sonnet for Jimmy, Ian, and David
Sun Feb 07, 2010 1:50 am by Steve

...
Into Jerusalem, meaning no harm
Lazarus, joyfully risen from death
Singing hosanna, laying leaves of palm
While Jesus is counting, every last breath
The son of man goes to his destiny
In the agony of crucifixion
Giving his life, for the whole world to see
“I am the life and the resurrection”

And what of man, w...
