Ballerina

She dances well she has a story to tell the bell of the ball she had it all. One of my favorites is Swan Lake. Oh the ballerina so glad I've seen ya. Leap high once again and do a pirouette for me. Be free and once again I will bow my knee just to see thee. Proud and tall loving it all when did you reiceive your call to become the star of the ballet yes you will always have your way I love ballet and raise my glass to those ballerinas out there especially the young ones practicing hard and doing their stretching exercises. My hats off to you and the orchestra too. Play on dance your life away I will be here and here I am going to stay.

Boxcar

Boxcar Willy wondering why he had to die up in heaven riding the train bound for glory please remember his story

He was an American icon remember the ever living story when Boxcar Willy was around wait a minuet wasn't he a clown. Yes a clown so

fun to have around. Everyone loves a clown to have around a clown with a frown what a jovial fellow though. He never

could take a happy face picture at least in every known picture I ever saw of Boxcar Willy it just was not found but as I

say he was fun to have around. I need a picture of him now.

The Plowmans Plow 2

GOD gives to those who need someone

fun. Many people who are not dumb.

Inspiring minds reluctant change. Set

-ing the dark night to appropriate leap.

Kissing the dark sky and making deep.

Our core of people who can keep a

man like me satisfied. Quantified

undaunted haunted the burden of

past performance of poetry , read.

The Lambs book of life

Revelation is the lambs book of life. What do you know about yourself and the name of your spouse. I have a house in paradise with my honey I'm going to be fine thanks. Marshall Lancaster is my name. Money is called the power of poetry. What makes the world go around ? How about this website isn't it good. What is your favorite color and have you been praying for us to play in Seattle. What is your pleasure of soup and think about being noble too. What is your favorite soup mine is french onion with the bread and cheese on top. Okay l'll stop.

Money is called the power of poetry.

Hi again, that last one was pretty good but the bit about 'Money is called...' left me scratching my head.

Hey Marshall, I read your last poem in this thread. I think I would call this "stream of consciousness" writing. I enjoy how your poem can suddenly change directions. I liked this one quite a bit.
Take care.

You are funny


Interesting people are a dime a dozen. You are funny my dear , a little queer but put a mirror to your face hilarious. Your funny ways have not escaped me. I watched you walking once. You have a funny gait you wait before each step too long then turn and look behind You saw me and blew me a kiss I miss this my dear to have you near is joyous contentment. Your comments on people we know are deliciously low. You are my friend you are funny my friend , you were born funny I think. I have laughed with you turning pink and losing my breath. I am not afraid of death for I have lived life with you.

Bears


Free icky running bears running to rip and tear. Bloody faces waiting for you in woody places. Look out beware of the bear. I'm telling you now can't you hear a growl. Paws of death. Jaws of fury waiting for the weary hiker, or mountain biker. Do you want to die. Just go out in

 

[Greatcloud]

the woods at night without a guide to back you up. It's ok attacks are rare, dissapearences are not from a bear. Bears own territory they guard, beware of a bear , they care for you really they do.

Orange tree


Money that grows on trees
Money I thank you please
Money the root of evil
Money starts all revivals

Orange trees are very prolific
Orange trees are also beautific
Orange trees in the wild
Orange trees with a child

What about your orange juice
What about their big sluice
What about tasty oranges now
What about futures. The dow

Yes oranges are so good
Yes they give us food
Yes Florida has them too
Yes they are for you

Wait an orange for breakfast
Wait this energy will last
Wait your weight gets better
Wait please reread this letter

Reform


American people are in need of reform. Consequently things are far from the norm. Things like : health care and rock and roll
Movie making , politics , bears and bulls

Why reforms you ask me I'll tell you I say
We have gone too far too fast lost our way
Take health care as our example ample
Speaking of ample a doctor gave samples

Small town country doctors knew all
If stumped they were sent to D'paul
Today a computer can do as a doctor
Computers are expensive now the crux

Why pay drug companies and specialists
What you work hard for it doesn't exist
Health care reform is needed yesterday
Congress can do it but not this day

It's You gentle readers You must do it
If not inflation ,stagnation are a good fit
Please fix the mess that is America
Or look to China for a miracle

Kindness


In the end when you die only kindness remains. Kindness you did and kindness done. To be kind regards mercy. Also a gentle heart. Part the vail see it from heaven.

Ravens will pick your soul apart if you are not kind to children and animals. GOD will see to it. So go through it. The slobbering cries. The hurting paw . Even GOD will be in awe.

Kindness is my motto because I can be mean. Like you have never seen. Pray for me to follow my bliss. You will not miss your reward.

Canoe


Canoe, canoe ? I can. I canoe on lakes, fishing for trout and crappie. My cousin taught me. We used his motorboat to cover the whole lake. Make no mistake we covered that lake you should have seen our wake.

A canoe is efficient for finding fish cutting a swath across the water dodging the beaver and otter. Waiting for later to eat our prize

I Love the silent swath of a canoe letting you come up silently on the fish. I wish there was more time in the day I think I missed a bay.

Guiding light


I can't do it I got guiding light right behind me. Why can't you see that just look at my wake take a tip off me, I've got bigger fish to fry. Ask me why I don't know but I got guiding light right behind me.

Guiding light right behind me. Light from above full of hope full of love. That's why I know it's time to go. Go anywhere I've got guiding light.
