WORDS OF WISDOM FROM MARY OLIVER

By Charles Robert Lindholm

“The Most Regretful People On Earth Are Those Who Felt The Call To Creative Work, Who Felt Their Own Creative Power Restive And Uprising, And Gave To It Neither Power Nor Time.”

Treasure

*Alliteration Poem – Treasure*
1st Oct’17  ~by Venkat

Tombs timeless, talk tales
To time, to tombs, to truths
Trails, traits, trysts, triumphs
Tapered thoughts, tainted thrones
Tulips torn, tulips treasured
Touch tales, timeless tombs

~ Dearest Father…

~ Dearest Father
Your death 
Left a void
An eternal pause 
Beyond the eithers

~ As the Clock Unwinds

My love grows old

I grow older still

Entwined as the vine

Our hearts

Vast as the oceans wide

Our memories

Yet fleeting, this time,

~ He Sat On the Boardwalk

He sat on the boardwalk

Whistling Sinatra

People passed

Glanced askance

~ Father of Song of Golden Lyre ~

~ Father of Song of Golden Lyre ~

Father of song of golden lyre
Play sweetly
That slumber I may find:

Charmer of all living things
Divine your hymns, divine your strings
Venerated by humankind
Soother of lonely souls that pine

Wausau – A Rispetto tribute to my home town

Rispetto challenge 

I do recall many a lovely vista view,

My friends and childhood memories

When just a lad where everyone knew

Beyond lakes, rivers and summer breeze

The tribute to My Parents

(via Looking for the sweet spot)

The tribute to My Parents

Six feet tall

He stands out always in a crowd

Not of his height, but of his charm

Full firm lips yet gentle on my cheeks

My Father

Fell head over heels in love with his petit neighbour

MY Mother
