Look at Ourselves
If we look in the mirror
What do we see
If we look behind us
Is it other than thee
If we do a wrong
Does it make it right
If we apologise
Does it change our sight
To all who have done wrong
Raise your hands
If not here
In other lands
There is many a crime
So hideous and wrong
But to do wrong once
We sing that same song
It's the level of wrong
That we distinguish to discuss
The misdemeanour
And the out and out cuss
Others will recover
A different path they will follow
Others will re-offend
It's their bitter pill, they will swallow
So there comes a time
To judge some less
Allow their reunion
Their second test

A young man at thirty one
Allow him this chance
His new life has began
Look back on this day
As we look at ourselves
How many of us, could have been
Left on a shelf
Northern Californian Coastline
Rugged coastline
Aqua blue waters
Natures marvel
One of her daughters
Pillars of green
Look down on her ocean
As her frothy waves caress
In graceful motion
Sporadic stepping stones
Jut from the blue
As life clings
Before they disappear from view
Stand by her shores
Please take a bow
For under her surface
You will be gargling wow!
Creatures that have adapted
Over millions of years
Beauties so lovely
But some leave fears
Along the Californian Coastline
Awesome vistas of view
I wish I was there
So i could view with you too

Ancient Slopes
Ancient mountain slopes
Beautifully weathered, in
Mirrored reflection
As i Sit Here on This Rock
My Dear,
As I sit here on this rock, and look out at the sea
These waters now grey and calm, that took you away from me
Another stormy night, down the Californian coast
Your ship lies torn and twisted, while the reaper quietly toasts
Tomorrow I will start, a new day in my life
For on this note i write, to have been proud to be your wife
My darling I give to you, this letter on the waves
While my words are flowing true, my heart for you still craves

Leggy Bird and a Vintage Wine
What I love
About Christmas time
Is a leggy bird
And a vintage wine
With succulent breasts
And a figure so tanned
When I wash my hands
She'll soon be manne
She's the type of bird
Who leaves me well fed
With a glass of wine
I'm ready for bed
But this little bird
Can sure last longer
For she double serves
And my hungry heart grows fonder
At my table she sits
In anticipation
As my hands delight
She has my admiration
This delicious bird on Christmas Day
Is natures Turkey, a delight I'll say
And just before we sit down to eat
We are incredibly thank full, for such a treat
My entry for Donna Golden's contest " Turkey Tribute "
My Chair of Support
My favourite chair
Said to me one night
Hey! Highlander
What you going to write
Is it going to be a fantasy
A Haiku or a Senyru
What ever comes from your thoughts
It's from the inner you
I have supported and rested
While you have written your writes
From many an afternoon
Into the early morning light
You never get frustrated
You just sit and ponder
For you know there are words
They are just out yonder
This partnership we have
Will remain as close as ever
Until the end of our days
Will be the time to sever
We will continue to be
One and the same
I to support you
With poetry your aim

Family at Christmas
Fortunate I am
All my children are safe at home
Many families at this time of the year
In this world, can be left so alone
Love bonds us together, as the Carol singers call
Yule tidings from the Fraser family, to one and ye all
My entry in Brian's " Love Came Down " contest
Floating of our Lunar Orb
Dark horizon, as
Our lunar orb, reflects on
Natures grey ripples
