Estimated Title: Better Than A Mere Sweet


I am what I am;


I can not be doubled;


So I must be quite noble;


I am better than a mere sweet;


but can only accomplish certain feats;


I am quiet like the three blind mice;


I am nothing but a mere roll of the dice;


So give everything to chance;


I know you will pant;


Accept me as I am;


I am's what I am.

Estimated Title: Hark! The Hills Doth Roam


Hark! The hills do roam;


The waves do foam;


Watch through the corner of your eye;


Watch as you see your kinsmen try;


But to no avail;


Their faces turn to pale;


If you Live to See Past Day;


You may be to tired to roll in hay.

The Prose Poem #1 Estimated origin of creation: From my mind and my penny

Estimated Title: The Mighty Penny


Once upon a dime and twice upon a time, not a penny less and not any time more. I beg to differ, that I am not pennyless. With only the might of pennies within a vicinity of poverty, giving alms to the poor, my heart grows and keeps me pure.

Estimated Title: The Preacher Poem


I preached on the little streets;


'felt just a little bit down;


I saw a little bit of a face looking down on her feet;


' thought it was my own, but she had a little bit of a frown.



And so I thought it was an Angel to be;


And how would it ever be for such a pretty soul to be sad -


when all the Angels could see.



When all the Angels were dancin' around;


Smiling and all in awe - she was about to fall;


So they came with their shallow crowns;


She was afraid to be - so she gave one last call.



I told her she was free; so she fled on three;


Like an Angel on its flight;


Now I was in a plight.


The End

Estimated Title: Not so little, but rather in the middle.


Through the meadows, I became a merry fellow;


Not so little but rather in the middle;


In the middle I found a lonely and daring riddle;


Dotted with snow the day soon shivered like a harsh and cold drizzle.

Estimated Title: The Preacher Poem


I relive my relief to a little boys bite;


An orange to a days delight;


Courage and bravery, true strength is my sight;


A little one bids goodnight;


Now I know my plight;


I am proud now, as I stand in light;


Watch me as I take flight;


Apples a day keep the doctors away;


Oranges I deploy to go his way;


Bananas deserve a little play;


Cherries finally stay;


How often do grapes make a person shine until late?;


Risen grapes test my states;



(Continued)


March is before and may this boys sight be a-okay;


Perfect enough to be a one of a kind;


In order to relive my relief that love is blind.


So that my other senses would get a chance to be better than mine.


Then I would hand over my quite essential frown that is so sublime.


Michaengelo is hopefully now eternal.


Please believe and ask of us now.


Together again let us make a dwarven and elvish vow.


So we may sow a war within our souls.


Mending wisdom wishing to relive the fruits of our golden plight.


The End


(Clue: Experience teaches us to divide and conquer)


and that unity is leadership if you have it in mind.

Estimated Title: Rising Dew: A painter's will


To thine own self be true;


Rising to morning dew;


Our will and strength renewed;


For our happiness;


We live painting a paintfull of painted mess;


To clean but not until;


We have leaned on the art we must fullfill;


Gently we lean on gentle life stills;


Peacefully with return are the rewards of the


Painterly Will.

Estimated Title: The Royal Courthouse


I am but a sinner in thy royal court;


I have done wrong of all sorts;


To you I understand I am not fair;


From plan to plan;


From strategy to strategy;


From Tactic to tactics;


To you I know that I am not fair;


But I understand my covenant to you;


Is caring and by caring I give comfort to the Lord;


I am but a sinner in thy Royal Court;


Every Strategy;


Every Tactic;


Every Plan;


Is cause to forgive the iniquities of my youth.

Estimated Title: Yet Unknown


Once wanted to be the better Don Juan;


Beguiling dames, I found one in a maze;


I was quite glad her guy went to the Jon;


Each passing moment I grew fond to gaze;



Cold or warm seasons I cried when she cried;


And thus... Even when I did not know why;


Soon you won't say that I had never tried;


Knowing day and night - This chance would die;


To my delight she was there each morning;


Within a cafe's mad slurping meadow;


Her face was truthfull husbands were frowning;


Happy I became a merry fellow;



I gave her more than a hundred roses;


Thinking I was greater than Moses.
