To sell with you

 Rose wanted to purchase the winning print from the Wally Reichert show. I had already given it to Melanie to hang in her Hospice office. I ordered another only in metallic, a better print. And said she could have it for $60. We arranged to meet yesterday and when she saw the print, she said I thought there was more blue in the sky, can you make it larger? She ended up taking the print, originally she said Mike Grecian was going to frame it, then it was I don’t want to spend that much to have him frame it. Did I have the link where I got my frame from Amazon? I sent the link. I went online to Adorama and put in a larger print and the resolution was too low for it. I then had Melanie bring home the print so I could see for myself if there was blue in the sky. There wasn’t. I told her via text. I hate these picky, cheap people. To sell with her.

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

Viagra?

 One to get it up

One to keep it down

What were you thinking

Cholesterol and BP

I don’t think so

Fuel lines

 Fuel lines

 

Combustible couplets

Flammable phrases

Vaporous verses

But for a spark

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.

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.
