Eldorado By:Edgar A. Poe Gaily bedight, A gallant knight, In sunshine and in shadow, Had journeyed long, Singing a song, In serch of Eldorado. But he grew old-- This knight so bold-- And o'er his heart a shadow Fell as he found Not a spot of ground That looked like Eldorado. And, as his strength Failed him at length, He me a pilgram shadow-- "Shadow," said he, "Where can it be-- This land of Eldorado?" "Over the Mountains, Of the Moon, Down in the Valley of Shadow, Ride, boldly ride." The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!" Edgar Poe is probably my favorate Poet; and this is my favorate poem that he made. |

this post has been edited 1 time(s) The shortened version of a poem my Baxter Black called Cowboy Is His Name. There's a hundred years of history and a hundred before that All gathered in the thinkin' Goin' on beneath his hat The cold flame burns within him Til' his skin's as cold as ice And the dues he paid to get here Are worth every sacrifice All the miles spent sleepy drivin' All the money down the drain All the 'If I's' and 'nearlys' All the bandages and pain All the female tears left dryin' All the fever and the fight Are just a small down payment On the ride he makes tonight It's guts and love and glory, One mortal's chance at fame His legacy is rodeo And cowboy is his name Trippsten |

this post has been edited 1 time(s) Another Reason Why I Don't Keep A Gun In The House - Billy Collins The neighbors' dog will not stop barking. He is barking the same high, rhythmic bark that he barks every time they leave the house. They must switch him on on their way out. The neighbors' dog will not stop barking. I close all the windows in the house and put on a Beethoven symphony full blast but I can still hear him muffled under the music, barking, barking, barking, and now I can see him sitting in the orchestra, his head raised confidently as if Beethoven had included a part for barking dog. When the record finally ends he is still barking, sitting there in the oboe section barking, his eyes fixed on the conductor who is entreating him with his baton while the other musicians listen in respectful silence to the famous barking dog solo, that endless coda that first established Beethoven as an innovative genius. <3 that |

"Pit Bulls Don't Cry" I see the children in the lane They look like friends, we'll have a game They've got a stick, oh boy, what fun They'll throw it for me and I'll run But someone stops me, I wonder why their mother screams "Don't go near those" Horrid Dogs, come here, come close They're dangerous-I'll tell you why They bite little children and they die All I can do is watch and sigh Cause now I know that Pit Bull's don't cry Mum cuddles me up and says "My pet We love you dearly so don't you fret" But I love everyone out there Why can't they love me, I do care I wish they weren't made to pass me by I'm a Pit Bull, I don't cry I sit behind my padlocked gate From early morn til quite late When I go out it's on a lead Is mine the only heart to bleed I'm held in check as the world goes by I wish the Pit Bull heart could cry There are some dogs, and also men Who cannot tell a foe from a friend So all of us must bear the blame Expected to live a life of shame Condemned, alas and we know not why All we know is we will not cry! ~Author Unknown~ -Ande @ BearCreek Plotts |

Why own a dog? There's a danger you know, You can't own just one, for the craving will grow. There's no doubt they're addictive, wherein lies the danger. While living with lots, you'll grow poorer and stranger. One dog is no trouble, and two are so funny. The third one is easy, the fourth one's a honey. The fifth one's delightful, the sixth one's a breeze, You find you can live with a houseful of ease. So how 'bout another? Would you really dare? They're really quite easy but, oh, Lord the hair! With dogs on the sofa and dogs on the bed, And crates in the kitchen, it's no bother. They're really no trouble, their manners are great. What's one more dog and just one more crate? The sofa is hairy, the windows are crusty, The floor is all footprints, the furniture dusty. The housekeeping suffers, but what do you care? Who minds a few noseprints and a little more hair? So let's keep a pu ppy, you can always find room, And a little more time for the dust cloth and broom. Your folks never visit, few friends come to stay, Except other "dog folks" who live the same way. Your lawn has now died, and your shrubs are dead too, But your weekends are busy, you're off with the crew. There's dog food and vitamins, training and shots. And entries and travel and motels which cost lots. Is it worth it you wonder? Are you caught in a trap? Then that favorite one comes and climbs in your lap! author unknown |

untitled by...me... wasted words fill up my life and pains that I still have to face. shadow men sing me to sleep with tunes difficult to shake. empty souls cry from the deep their silence cries out "I need you" salvation becomes a dim beacon of hope because we can't seem to see you. a heart beats with the cold epitome of promises that can't be kept. you look down the quiet voice of a lamb "can't you see you need me?" quiet words roaring like a lion. |
