I do not see
Why you hate me so
Are we both not
human?

As a Poet
As a poet
I calm fears
Let others know
They are not alone
As a poet
I heal
The hurting
The broken hearted
Those who have been
dealt harshly
By life itself
As a poet
I create
Worlds of magic and
wonder
Worlds of splendor
and peace
As a poet
I reach deep into
the very core
Of human existance
To bring forth
The purest
The truest
Of that which we are
as a people
As a poet
I share my heart and
soul
I bare it all
I hide nothing
Peace
Give peace a chance
Let peace in our land
Our land has been destroyed by war
Our land has been destroyed by gangs
Let peace be
Let human lives value
In every human heart
In every human soul
Peace to every
Woman
Child
Man
May peace grow
Hide and Seek
You hide I seek. Face the tree count
to ten, then sound the call," Ready or not here I come". Oh where oh where are we hiding, behind the
car, to easy. Behind the bush, worth a
look. Damn, he was behind the car, the
chase is on. we race toward base, both
red in the face. I want to tag him
however he made it, he's safe. This time
I hide and you seak. Alight Tony, I will
start counting, you go hide.
"Ready or not here I, AAAHHHH! Tony what are trying to do give me
a heart attack, standing behind me like that.
Dinner time need to go in, have a good evening, see you tomorrow my
friend. See you tomorrow as well, by
the way Tony, Never do that again. Noted
Adventure abounds
Adventure abounds
Go where no one else
dares to
Become your true
self
Become all that you
can be
Take life to the
most extream
Alone
My heart feels a thousand sorrows
my mouth speaks of a thousand troubles
I look for someone to talk to, but I find
I am alone
A
cry for companionship builds in my soul
It burns as it makes it’s way to my mouth
Fire spews from my mouth as I release the cry
When all is said and done I find no one
has answered my cry
So
I return to the dark corners of my mind to sob and cry
I am Free
I am that I am
Nothing more
Nothing less
I am free to travel life’s pathways
To journey to the unknown
To enjoy each footstep
As I walk the path of life
I live for the adventure of it all
To take on what life brings
To meet the challenges of each day
To not back down
I am free to love
To share my emotional state with another
To share compassion
To be one with those around me
Rodney the Raccoon (A Nort the Newt story)
Nort the Newt here
to tell you about my friend Rodney the Raccoon.
Rodney was a great kid and fun to hang out with. He was new in my neck of the forest and
lonely. So I introduced myself and we
became friends. We would play games, run
races. I though it would be nice for him
to make more friends. So I started
introducing him to other kids in the forest.
My brother Nathan, Steve the Salamander, and I became his best friends. Which proved to be a friendship for a very
long time.
Later on in life Rodney, Steve,
Nathan, and I would go to a club called "The Hawk". (This place was owned by some distant relative of Harry's). Nectar or Honey
juice were our drinks of choice. Rodney,
Steve, and Nathan always flirting with the girls. I already had my girl, So I
just sat and drank. More than once the
bartender had to wake us up because the club was closing and we had drank so
much we had passed out.
Of course there comes a time when you
decide to get cleaned up. When that time
had come, the four of us made a pact to help each other resist the drink. When one of us started slipping, the others
would be right there to help them stay strong.
Getting sober was good, Steve's sister Sally never liked me drinking
anyways. Plus the others were getting
into relationships as well.
Rodney has remained a good friend and
has helped me on many projects I have worked on.
When he got married to his wife Rhonda the Raccoon, Nathan, Steve, And I
were there to help celebrate their joy.
Childhood Memories (A Nort the Newt Story)
Rodney the raccoons
hare to tell you a couple of stories.
One day Nort the Newt, his brother Nathan and sister Natasha, Steve the
Salamander and his sister Sally, A few more of our freiends, and I were playing
kickball. I was pitching the ball, Nort
was up to kick. I rolled the ball, Nort
kicked it, The next thing I know. I am
lying on my back in the dirt, because the ball had struck me in the forehead. Nort was good about it and took an out.
One day I was walking along a path in
the forest, when I came upon Nort. He
was upset about something so I sat down and we talked. Turned out that he has just had a big blowup
with Nathan. I put my arm around his
shoulder and we just sat there for a while.
Finally we both got up and walked the path together.
One day we had all gotten together to
play a game of tag. In the prossess of
not getting taged. I tripped over a
root. Nort stumbled into a thorn bush,
and had a few scratches. later on
in the Game Nort and Sally ran into each other.
Nathan and I also ran into each other.
One day we got together to go
swimming. There was a rope that hung
from the tree next to the water. We
would swing out on the rope, then let go and dive in. We would try to dunk each other under the
water, had splashing contests to see who could make the biggest spray.
Calling Out
I'm calling out
Lord please see
I am in need
Shine your light
Make me whole
Before the darkness takes it's toll
I need a hug
I need a hug
The warm embrace of
another
A gesture of
friendship and care
I need a hug
I am feeling quite
low
A hug to refuel my
energy
I need a hug
A kind soul
A loving heart
Willing to warm this
icy void
I feel I've become
Do I not count to
anyone
I want to know
someone cares
I want to know that
someone is happy
That I exist
Drugs
Don't do drugs
Don't waste your life
Don't put yourself
Through all that strife
Drugs mess up your mind
Drugs mess up your soul
Drugs really take a toll
Live your life
Live it well
Drugs are a one way trip
Down to Hell
Enjoy your life
Enjoy your days
Do not live
In a druged out haze
Don't do drugs
Don't waste your life
Don't put yourself
Through all that strife
Land Across The Sea
In the land across the sea
One can be truly free
With their thoughts
With their ways
With the coming of each day
I long for that land far away
To feel it’s breeze
To watch trees sway
To walk in the woods
To live as I wish
I desire someday
To land upon it’s shore
To have cares no more
To live as I please
To have no one to annoy me
Faith (Holy Thoughts)
Jesus is the tree of all life, as
Christian we are the branches, the ground is the Bible. As we put our faith in Jesus as our Lord and
Savior, we grow strong and tall. Our
roots grow deep into the Bible making a firm foundation. No matter what life may throe at you, or how
the winds of the world may blow. If you
place your branch in the everlasting trunk of the father, and the roots are
firmly deep within his almighty word. There
is no way you can fall
Faith without works (Bible Study)
James 2:14-26
What good is it, my
brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith
save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and
lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in
peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the
body, what good is that? So
also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
But someone will say, “You
have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I
will show you my faith by my works. You believe that God is
one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder! Do
you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is
useless? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when
he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? You see that faith
was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; and
the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was
counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a friend of God. You
see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. And
in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she
received the messengers and sent them out by another way? For
as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is
dead
The Unwanted
He was the boy no one wanted
Small and afraid
No one at all to love him
Only himself to blame
What did I do
I was just born
Why do you hate me
Why all the scorn
Night after night
Day after day
In silence as he weeps
The boy no one wanted
Reaches out to thee
She was the girl that no one wanted
Small and afraid
No one to love her
What did I do
I was just born
Why do you hate me
Why all the scorn
Night after night
Day after day
In silence she weeps
The girl that no one wanted
Reaches out to thee
The unwanted exist
On the street
Dark alleys
Empty lots
The unwanted exist in big cities
As well as small town
The unwanted exist where child abuse
abounds
The Sad Clown
I am a clown
But
I wear a frown
They laugh at my hurt
They laugh at my pain
Mean while
I slowly go insane
Can they not see the tears
Flowing like a mighty river
From my eyes
Yet
They laugh
Can they not see
That something is wrong with me
I need help
Not laughs
I need a friend
Not laughs
I am a clown
But
I wear a frown
They laugh at my hurt
They laugh at my pain
Mean while
I slowly go insane

The water balloon fight
Got my water balloon
in hand
More in a secret
location
This is war
Every man for
himself
Me against the
neighborhood
This will be fun
We will all get
soaked
Outside in the hot
sun
A water balloon flies
by
Barely missing
The thrower in sight
Splash
Contact
I run to the secret
pile
Dodging balloons and
getting wet
I make it
All the balloons are
here
no one has found it
yet
Two five gallon
buckets
Attached to bungee
cord
Pre-loaded
As the enemy
approaches
I pull back one of the
buckets
An attack of
balloons go flying
String down the
advancing numbers
Splash
Hit in the back
I spin around and
launch the other bucket of balloons
Knocking some out of
trees
Others in plain
sight
Some kids hide
behind parked cars
When I see them rise
I throw one
water balloon after another
After awhile
And much much wetter
We decide to call a
truce
Friends once more
With memories to
last a life time
