Joy

Joy

Joy is a fruit,
Grown upon a tree.
In vain is joy's pursuit,
For the tree is thee.

Hillbilly Filet Mignon

Hillbilly Filet Mignon

Beans in a skillet,
Cornbread in a pone,
It ain't fancy fixins,
But it sure tastes "down home".

Friendship

True Friendship 

In spite of years
In location distant
True friendship
Is yet consistent.

Breakfast Dreams

Breakfast Dreams

One eye open.
Two feet on the floor.
Bedside I sit and ponder.
Whether to sleep some more.

Frozen waffles in a toaster,
Spilt milk upon the floor,
Eating dreams for breakfast,
I ponder on rising once more.

Gone Fishin

Gone Fishin

This well is empty,
Dry as a dinosaur bone.
Ring my front door bell.
I'll yell "I'm not home".

Burning Bridges

Burning Bridges

Don't burn bridges behind.
Treat everyone like kin.
Today's foe is oft tomorrow's friend.
And you may pass this way again.

Mountain Stream

Mountain Stream

Cascading
Smashing
Twirling
Whirling
Down, down, ever down
Huge boulders proclaim 
Not this way
Y'all must go around

Rushing
Splashing
Crashing
Bashing
All suddenly cease
A quiet pool
Writes new rules
And still waters run deep

Luxury

Luxury

There can be,
No greater,
Luxury,
Than to leisurely,
Imbibe,
Coffee bean tea.
