Dangerous Consequences Deeper and bolder truths be careful, my friends, of avowing; For as soon as ye do all the world on ye will fall. Friedrich Von Schiller

THE WUMBERLOG (OR THE MAGIC DOG)
Whilst all the tow was sleepy
Crept a little boy from bed
To fained the wondrous peoble
Wot lived when they were dead.
He packed a little voucher
For his dinner 'neath a tree.
'Perhumps a tiny dwarf or two
Would share abite with me?
'Perchamp I'll see the Wumberlog
The highly feathered crow,
The larfing leaping Harristweed
And good old Uncle Joe.'
He packed he very trunkase,
Clean sockers for a week,
His book and denzil for his notes,
Then out the windy creep.
He met him friendly magic dog,
All black and curlew too,
Wot flew him fast in second class
To do wot he must do.
'I'll leave you now sir,' said the dog, 'But just before I go I must advise you,' said his friend 'This boat to careflee row.' 'I thank you kindly friendly pal, I will,' and so he did, And floated down towards the land Where all the secrets hid. John Lennon

Prayer Of Remembrance The semi-trailer, lost in the night and wailing upon overturning wheels, nestles its sound around my mind and lifts me from my sleep. Certainly no mind has ever encountered the horrors of the late-night loneliness and been less than challenged. It is there, hiding from the monsters, under our blankets and breathing through a crack... There we find our dragons and learn to ride. Once again I cast a leg over his scaly back and look upon the clouds. I remember... and smile.S.A.M. Tanner 2010

Now, with the sugar's All-softening juice, The strength of the acid So burning reduce. The bright sparkling water Now pour in the bowl; Water all-gently Encircles the whole. Let drops of the spirit To join them now flow; Life to the living Naught else can bestow. Drain it off quickly Before it exhales; Save when 'tis glowing, The draught naught avails.

I'm gonna post this gem on my FB page and send it to my famblies - thanks, I haven't enjoyed a poem like that for a long time!

The Wanderer I met him at the crossroads, a man with but a cloak and a staff, and a veil of pain upon his face.
And we greeted one another, and I said to him, "Come to my house and be my guest."
And he came.
My wife and my children met us at the threshold, and he smiled at them, and they loved his coming.Then we all sat together at the board and we were happy with the man for there was a silence and a mystery in him. And after supper we gathered to the fire and I asked him about his wanderings.
He told us many a tale that night and also the next day, but what I now record was born out of the bitterness of his days though he himself was kindly, and these tales are of the dust and patience of his road.
And when he left us after three days we did not feel that a guest had departed but rather that one of us was still out in the garden and had not yet come in.
Kahlil Gibran

Soul Memories Of Soles If I'm hearing a screen door slam And see linens billowing on the line If I hear the call of a jay Then there must be an oak and a pine If a dirt road stretches smooth and acrid From pitch being heated by the sun And my bare feet are black on the soles Then I must have been free to run If the path through the wooded shroud Is worn with the wearing of faces Then I must be dreaming of home In the haunting of all of my traces...

One September Afternoon Home from town the two of them sit looking over what they have bought spread out on the kitchen table like gifts to themselves. She holds a card of buttons against the new dress material and asks if they match. The hay is dry enough to rake, but he watches her empty the grocery bag. He reads the label on a grape jelly glass and tries on the new straw hat again.

Affair To Remember There is a gap in the air where green eyes viewed rough Tudor construction and now forgotten shoe styles trod narrow cobble stoned streets in the dead night of a German winter and yet; living there still is the exhalation of youth expended for the love of something other than boredom... b
