TIME AND SPACE ARE BUT DOORS TO BE OPENED......................

Travels In Time and Space Lands and planets far and wide journeyed to I have, From the snows of far off Northern climes, To sunny tropic scenes, I have been found, Gracious planets, to hells beyond description, Friendly and alien, all in all I have journeyed, On some I have fought, others I have found friends, Mysteries and wonders, victories and defeats abound, For duty, honor, pleasure, treasure, and adventure too, Yet nowhere is as a beautiful as the green, green hills of home, World of my...

A DRINK FOR EVERY OCCASSION, OR AN OCCASIONAL DRINK....

DRINK Rainey day, gloomy day, trying to make the project succeed, No soup, no joy, fubar, what can one do, save try even harder, Get to stopping place time to go home, have a drink and unwind, Even that at times not an option, O’Club, flask, hooch from canteen cup, What does one say to one’s self over a drink by oneself, alone, No more than one, not every day, I really need a drink, dull the edge, You have seen the others, eaten alive and drowning in dependency, Decades come, and decades go,...

TOOLS OF THE TRADE, OLD HAS IT'S MERITS.........

R ifle A rifle old I have, one with a history, A Mauser Yugoslavian model 1924 it is, M anufactured for King, overtaken by Socialism, S ince the earlier 70’s have I had it, I n good shape save for an idiot’s cutting, T he forearm was severed and glued back, F unctional though ugly is this long arm, B lacken steel shinny with use, pitted too, D ark rich wood, stained and scarred, I n whose Armies did it serve, I wonder, C ombat did it see, grievous harm inflicted, T his I shall never know,...

OF MICE AND MEN, AND THOSE BETWEEN........................

Mice and Men Am I a mouse, or am I a man, Someone who scurries for cover, Someone who stands his ground, Perhaps it best to stand behind cover, There is never a always right answer, If in an ambush, turn and charge, For to stay is to die, for cover there is none, Yet, the fool who strides the battlements, Only awaiting the fatal round is he, A cautious hero, who weights his options, Not good news copy, but his genes live on, Now for those of you who have never tested, Woe is thee, for surely you...

DID YOU HEAR SOMETHING, what was that?

NOISE In the distance, noise I can hear, Human or natural, it's always there, For the attentive ear can always hear, Truck in the distance, wind in the trees, I should think it would drive someone mad, Yet, even silence has a sound of it own unique, For when we can hear nothing, we imagine sound, Now I say beat the drum, sound the trumpet, ring forth, For noise is life universal, even in the hearts of space beyond, What sound would you hear, pleasing and soothing, comforting too, Listen to your...

PASSION, ANYONE'S GAME, SOME'S FAME.....

Passion Passion is an interesting concept, For passion is as passion does, It comes springing from the heart, Formless, it is shaped by the mind, Narrow or all encompassing, sweeping far, Focused attention for a person, idea, or activity, Man and woman passionate various all, God, Glory, Country, Love, and Adventure too, All can excite a man beyond words, For true passion can only be suggested, Never fully conveyed, for it is limited less, An inferno welling from within, raging at times,...

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE A REALLY BAD DAY AT THE OFFICE.........

IN MY HOLE In my fighting hole, freshly dug, I and my radioman heads down, Firing heavy and random, incoming, Still light, they will wait for dark. Now just harassing fire, pushing us, Trying to make us break and run, Yet nowhere to run, commo down too. Relief should come, iaw the OpOrder, Any break for more than an hour, Then sunflower begins, heavy and hot, Air strikes, reinforcements, whatever it takes., Nobody left behind, not even just bodies, Been 20 minutes since last commo check, Then 40...

BOOM, BOOM, BA BOOM BOOM, WHAT WAS ANICENT IS NEW AGAIN.........

Drums On battlefield, Hear the drums, Pounding, pounding, Strongly deep, forbidding, Proclaiming, warning to all, Demanding are these drums, They resonate off the mountains, Far and wide under heaven’s sky, Booming as if thunder yonder, Hearing, one must wonder, What will be, when silent, What is heralded then, All hearing ponder, To live or die…… Dj Forrester, © 06 With integration of headsets and huds (heads up displays) to the warrior on today’s field of combat, methinks field music will...

PERSONAL JOURNEY, OR IMPOSSIBLE DREAM, ALL A GOAL TO BE REACHED..

In the Distance In the distance what do I eagerly seek to see, First light, and eyes paint a picture uncertain Morning mists and rain obscuring vision, What shapes are these forming far away, Portents of today's happenings perhaps, First glimmers of a tomorrow not yet formed, Or ghosts of yesterdays beyond counting, The lay of the land has not changed, much, Life is as you find it, perhaps favored or not, Yet with each day opportunities abound, One has but to cast off the shackles of past,...

BOATS A HOLE IN THE WATER YOU TRY TO KEEP TRY BY POURING IN MONEY...

BOATING Ah, summer here, time for boating on the blue, A skipper is the master of his craft, great or small. It matters not at all, has long as she has the draft, For the waters in, and he is of stern enough stuff. For dangers lurk every which where, near enough, Collisions, groundings, storms, capsizing and more. Where to voyage, and the manner of the passage, Questions every skipper should ask himself? How much sail or fuel, provisions and passengers, Has he a crew stout and true, and nerves... Sign in to see full entry.
