Holmes Jim Poems

I dream about those carefree times,
Of playful days, when in my prime,
I tried my hand at romantic flings,
Didn't much care about serious things,
...

I look away when I'm afraid,
Turn the cheek when I'm betrayed,
I hold it in when anger swells,
Trapped inside my self-imposed hell,
...

I loved to fish with my Uncle Jack,
For finding fish, he had the knack,
A passion in common, we both shared alike,
To find that place where fish might strike,
...

A little boy that smiled,
Made my day today,
A friendly little child,
I really have to say,
...

If I was a poet I'd write from the heart,
Expelling my feelings, both sorrows and joys,
With a stroke of my pen like a fine piece of art,
I'd sketch out my thoughts for all to enjoy,
...

I put afloat on Kingscote Lake,
And glided through the gentle wake,
Carried forth by my trusty oar,
To search for camp on it's western shore,
...

I love my wiener dogs,
Adorable little hotdogs,
Jesse is three months older,
But Checkers is so much bolder,
...

I dreamed a dream of simple things,
Of times gone bye, my younger years,
I played the games of heroic kings,
Heard the chants of playful cheers,
...

I use to think that I could fly,
Far across the open sky,
Up above the buildings tops,
Past the fields laced with crops,
...

A song will play and spur me on,
And pull me back to a past long gone,
I listen closely as words rush by,
Lost in thoughts of times gone bye,
...
