My Kinda Poetry 2

About this ebook
Again I have found poetic gems on the sands of my life, strewn on the beach, brought in by the tide.
They seem to find me as if by magic. More poems of love, joy, fact, fiction, and inspiration.
Stories of romance and tragedy, war and peace, and father and motherhood.
All born from my overactive imagination, each one my child, a piece of my heart and soul.
They are "My Kinda Poetry," and again I hope they are yours as well.

My Kinda Poetry
My kinda poetry has a cutting edge,
an intrinsic beauty and unmistakable
style that sticks to the brain like glue.
So unique are the words that rest in the mind,
you can't forget them even if you try.
Sometimes raw and unpolished,
floating from pen to paper,
sweet as honey and smooth as silk.
My kinda poetry is a timeless thing,
that tells the stories of you and me.
Jagged as ice, bright like a diamond,
shinning like a lighthouse in the sea.
They are poetic gems found like
pebbles on the sands of my life.
They speak of love, joy, fact, fiction,
depression and inspiration.
Stories of romance and tragedy,
war and peace and father and motherhood.
They are a slice of me for the
world to see, for now and forever.
White Dove
White dove spread your wings and
fly, send your message of peace
throughout our troubled world.
Hope go with you in your sojourn,
love and brotherhood sustain you
in your long and perilous journey.
Soar high above in winged flight,
may God go with you in your quest
to find some sanity, somewhere.
I just pray it is not too late.
A Child Again
Hard to believe I was ever so small,
I thought of a young child I watched
Joyfully at play.
I was ever so trusting, so happy
And alive, so carefree, so unencumbered by the cares of
The grown-up world.
I marveled at his youthful exuberance
Almost with envy and jealousy in my
Heart that I was I longer so.
I thought about my joints that ached
and my movements that were slow,
My hair so white like gray peppered snow.
But then I thought about all the good
Times in my life, my children and my
Wife, and I smiled.
And I hoped and wished that child
Would have as good a life as mine
Has been.
I didn't think anymore that day or
For a long while about being a child again.
The Flower
I saw a flower in a field
of weeds and marveled
at its beauty and simplicity.
It blew slightly in the breeze,
