Summer In A Vase

Kimo Ode to Van Gogh’s Sunflowers Summer in a vase, the sunflowers stand.Golden petals bring a smile.A reflection of life. Warm sunny days captured in memory;held aloft by towers green.Blazing heads bowed in prayer. Creating its own light, of youthful joy.Subtle burning energyof our eternal soul. Long lost memory of a home to dwell.A placeContinue reading “Summer In A Vase”

Let The Light Shine In

What is Christmas? Christmas is a time for cheer. A time when we slow down and remember the things that matter most. It’s a time when we celebrate the birth of a King. The birth of a savior. Jesus Christ our Lord. As has been pointed out many times, December is not the actual dateContinue reading “Let The Light Shine In”

Writing Like An Aristocrat

I’m a rebel, baby! I’m a rebel. I always have been. I do not just obey, for the sake of obedience. You will notice this in my writing and style. I probably drive some editors and English teachers crazy, because I don’t obey their rules unless it suits me. I’ve been this way since IContinue reading “Writing Like An Aristocrat”

The Campsite

A secret place of old High above that ancient strip pit.Now filled with water a million feet deep.Sits that old campsite, where we went as kids.That sacred place with a stone ring built years ago. Who knows how long? Who knows who began? Who knows who owns the land? We never cared. Surrounded by grandfatherContinue reading “The Campsite”

One With Nature

Alone in the woods. I remember when I was young. I’d skip school and go to the woods, to become one with the spirit of the wild. To sit under a tree and just be, without a care In the world. Listening to the birds, and talking with my friends the trees. Moving slowly downContinue reading “One With Nature”

Battle Cry

No more wars Leaders yell, Leaders scream, taking no more.Men howl, men swear, calling out for war. Soldiers march, Soldiers pray, going to face death.women weep, women wait, holding their breath. Soldiers stalk, Soldiers charge, running to the wire.Leaders yell, leaders scream, commanding them to fire. Bullets sing, Bullets whine, flying all around.Bombs sail, BombsContinue reading “Battle Cry”

I Never Knew

What I Was Missing I never knew, the hole I had,till I found you. A memory,from childhood,of your joy. Running the fieldsSplashing the creeksChasing the cats. And the quiet times;when you just sitnext to my soul. Smarter than they say,sweet little guy.So full of life. My funny buddy,loving hims a treat;while scratching his back. When IContinue reading “I Never Knew”

We Don’t Trust Them

Rebel Poetry By Chris Bunton We don’t trust them.Those giants who rule the Earth;those fallen ones who stole our dominion. We don’t trust them.Those royal descendants of “gods”;those of the divine blood line. Why should we trust them?They live in castles even today,while we still cower in caves. Why should we trust them?From days ofContinue reading “We Don’t Trust Them”
