      Your Poetry

      Apr 30, 2021

      I once was a chestnut, I hung from a tree,Like all of the young, I longed to be free.One day I landed, it felt like a mile.I need not have worried, I was in Hutton soil.My work had just started, ‘twas about 1803.That’s when I knew, I’d become a tree.

      I POUND UPON THE ROCK

      I pound upon the rock and it gives way to me,

      It rests within my hand, then I take a look to see.

      A beautiful quartz arenite from an ancient beach,

      It is hard to believe it was almost out of reach.

      IAMAPOET

      I think for days and write for a time,

      To make it all work out in a really smart rhyme.

      It really is true you know; I am a poet.

      Surely, if no one else cares or I don’t show a bit,

      I most certainly know, that I know it.

      COPPERHEAD

      Sneaking thru the woods,

      Heading for a stream,

      Watch out where I stood,

      Wrecking all of my dreams.

      Shivers in my mind,

      I know you’re out there still.

      Your copper and tan I find,

      As you threaten me to kill.

      Sunning yourself on a path,

      On this ghastly day at noon.

      I fear your frightening wrath,

      For I shall be going out soon.

      I pray you’ve gone your way,

      As I know I could cross you.

      I fret that maybe I should stay,

      Awe, what should I do?

      US HIGHWAY 287

      Riding along on US highway 287,

      You know it’s nice, but it is no, almost heaven.

      It is like a lifeline in the prairie you know,

      So, up at four-thirty and off I go.

      Throughout the metroplex and into the prairie,

      There is no light from the day and I am still weary.

      No traffic to worry me or slow me down,

      Heading from Denton to Decatur, as I go around.

      I am not finished and there is a long way to travel,

      My life has been long as I’ve eaten up so much Texas gravel.

      Along thru Alvord and heading toward Bowie,

      Thank God my road is clear and not snowy.

      One hundred and fifty miles may seem like a long way,

      But I have to do, what I can do, to bring home the pay.

      Henriette is off to the right as I go blowing by,

      Twenty more miles to Wichita Falls; do or die.

      Riding into town with a handful of claims to adjust,

      The falls are up ahead and you know they’re a must.

      It’s been a long way to endure and
