I decided to enter two in the show. Melissa and Elizabeth both liked the deer. Melissa liked the black and white also.

Peloton John
Peloton John
He never won a stage
Never wore the yellow
A domestique fellow
Getting on up in age
Rocky
Rocky
We said after this one
There would not be
Another one
Bigger than a grown
Child
Smarter than a man
Manners of a gentleman
Never bit anyone
Nor shunned
Accepted all as equal
When he is gone
I hope I can be
Half the human
He was a dog.
Dreamers
Dreamers
The old book claimed
That in the latter end
Fire would rain
The old men would dream
The young see visions
I sleep long lately
Now that visions dim
In every gathering cloud
I see Angels descending
But the flames fade
To a soft purple glow
No celestial creatures
Tonight
I sheath the sword
Set it beside the night stand
The man talking
Says he saw them
I think he's misleading
As I drift away
the dreams begin
Burning fiery.
Little Man
Little Man
Little man was real
Only thing
He was only real
While we lived in
Sopchoppy
He told me
He couldn't make the move
To Monticello
He'd become plastic
I didn't listen
I carried him against his will
He all these years
Has remained
Stoic and still
Pointing toward
Sopchoppy.
Web sight
A friend offered to build me a web page for photography but naturally for a few, a few thousand dollars. Don’t he know I’m 70 and selling equipment to pay off bills?
It would be nice but at this point, a sad no thanks.
The Senior Season
1972-73 Season
Friday, December 1st. Played Cross City. We looked exceptional. Kenny-22,Danny-16,Calvin-15,Jeff-14,Pat-10,Me-10,Amos-2. 6 in double figures! But even though we won 89-57, I feel optimistic about the team. I feel that we might get worse as jealousy and shot-gunning seem to prevail. But still we won.
Orange Hill
Orange Hill
In the new creation
I envision
Strolling up an empty
Grassy Orange Hill
Save for a cross
To remind us
Once the place
We lay in pastures green.
No school
Grounds of silence
Johnclarestokes
Who will pause upon the opening day
To have a moment of silence
For that which went away
They loudly proclaim the need
The poor children were suffering
And we dare only quietly agree
You cannot educate in the past
We must abide by the code
Devils pride out east will last
So honk if you love ole things
stoke the bonfires and sing
Old Devils! Keep your pitchforks
Sharpened.....
Aug 2021 the year they tore down Williston High in town and built out east of town.

Cross eyed
"The Cross Eye"
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 Cor. 3:18
Photographed off the back porch, the reflection of the cross in the eyes. Even the lowest creature bears witness.
