The Lure

The heat of the day sat heavy on my shoulders
Sweat ran from my brow as I turned over boulders

Aching and bleeding and too stubborn to stop
I dug and I burrowed 'til I felt I would drop

The lure is set and the traditions so old
I cannot give up now I'm so close to my gold

Flowerpot! I'm hooked! Iknow the feeling :Y:

Just look up to the Stars

I sometimes wish I could see the sky
As it was in times gone by
When the only light that would pierce the night
was from a candle placed nearby

These days of Cities neon-lit
Bouncing off the clouds
Conceal the the stars and blur the view
As if they were wrapped in shrouds.

I crave the night by a fires light
The milky way a-glow
Old Venus there up in the west
The Southern Cross on show.

And, what a sight is a satelite
Coursing accross the sky
Binoculars on, I burst into song
And watch it passing by.

I love to gaze up at the stars
And see it's wonderous sight
It fills my heart, my senses surge
My soul floats up on-high.

So if,per-chance your feeling down
Your soul needs a cleansing rinse
I kid you not don't feign a wince
Just look up to the Stars.

My best work so far, be it still another shorty.

It is definaltely how I feel sometimes, I think I'm close and it turns out to be junk, so I keep trying, the next hole I dig, it'll be in the next hole...

COME ON GOOD PEOPLES, I'm waiting on some more poetry of all shapes and sizes. :8

Your beauty just popped up as I hit submit reefer. Awesome.

Its true reefer, looking up the clear night sky sure as hell makes me feel lucky to be alive.

Haha..coincidence? ] ..Maybe! I have found Poetry no different to anything else in life...prospecting for instance.The more you practice the better you become teehee I dare say there is a wealth of great work simmering below the surface of your thoughts Flowerpot.Unleash them!..every experience in your life is a potential poem...but I sense you know that already Thank you for the compliment over my humble offering :Y:

Unintentional poetry

Its been awhile now but I vaped a few years ago ,
Theres heaps of leftovers as i dont vape anymore ,
my favorite was winfeild with a dash honeycomb.

I really made a pig of myself on it ,
Smoking cigs and vaping like a locomotive.
i ended up with ulcers :brokenh: Do you blokes add nicoteen ?

I have stopped vaping and smoking by sucking Nicotinell lozenges ,
they last about 40 minutes under my tounge , i have 6 or eight a day ,
cost about 50 bucks for 120 lozenges and smoking is ok .

So i left a pack of smokes at the pub for the first few months,
and would have 2 or 3 smokes when i was there
which was 2 or 3 times a week and now its very rare .

And i did love a smoke , i still enjoy them today,
but i feel so much better sucking lozenges all day.

The active mist and some other lozenge made me gag ,
that active mist was the worstbetter off to have a fag .

Crikey you're welcome Rossco. The little ditties I scribble up are just in the moment and take a few minutes to put together. I like trying to throw words together on the hop and I'll work on something longer now.. Quite true about life experience being great fodder for a wordsmith ( see what I did there?, LOL)
Wordsmith, see what I did, see? pfft... shut up flowepot!

You succeed in giving up smoking by not smoking a cigarette, one cigarette at a time. Remember, Its just a moment. It'll pass.

Yep and god have mercy on those around you when its not going to plan

My Avatar is reefer.

So once I joined a Forum
Twas all about seeking gold
No need to use my real name
Use an Avatar! I was told.

So I set's me mind to thinking
For something bold and bazaar
But my thoughts were soon escaping
I'd left my mind's, back door ajar.

So I roll's meself a number
I was feeling discontent
I thought I needed helping
With a a little mind adjustment.

My thoughts then were, of my Granpa
In his stories he'd infer
Those who tunelled deep for golden reefs
Were referred to as a 'Reefer.'

The name struck me, as would lightning
By George it was so grand
My Avatar was 'reefer'
And, I had one in me hand!

Reefer, that's a rip snorter ! :Y:

flowers

Ha.... I thought your mind adjustment
was gunna be a little bit of hemp. :Y:

I recently and accidentally posted two unwitting rhymes:
You're living the dream - it would seem.
It's the dust that concerns me - will just have to trial it and see.
Oh God - what's happening to me - what have I done - I swore to stay out of this thread
