James B. Earley
James B. Earley
James B. Earley was born and reared at Mounds, within the rolling hills of Southern Illinois, nine miles north of the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. A Californian since 1956, he resides in the San Francisco Bay Area. Having served twenty-one years in the employ of the Robert Mondavi Winery, Jim retired October 2006 from his treasure ...
That distant valley
Far below
Was I...as a child
........Eons ago
...
Somewhere within dwells the soul of a boy
And childhood dreams of Illinois
....With thoughts.....of home again
...
Where would we go if told to leave
This land where our kidnapped forefathers grieved
For life as it once were
And not as destiny's mind perceived
...
So...long...the day......so short....the hour
Stolen moments....angst...........deceit
......Another night.....sooo....long....the hour
Stolen moments......bittersweet
...
Who was the villain
When it all began
Some fair-haired stranger
From a faraway land
...
My wife once asked, 'Who is the most powerful U S public official - the President or Chief Justice Supreme Court? ' 'Neither, ' I said, 'it's the ordinary police officer. That person can legally take your life - at will.
The most 'UNGODLY' moment in America, perhaps, 'tis Sunday mornings.
Hitler would have been nonexistent, were it not for that lunatic fringe.
History will accord President Obama's legacy, in not what he accomplished, but what he 'sought' to accomplish; for that is the measure of the man.
Was it the President's color, or perhaps, something other; I'll just have to wonder, I guess!

James B. Earley is very wonderful and talented poet of international fame. When he starts touching the pen, the mountain speaks and sings and the paper dazzles with his golden word. The coat of emotion of a reader grabs the poetic rain done by this poet. His poems are deeply natural basing upon his perception. He wonderfully expresses the childhood memories and realizes that soul dwells within human body. Dreams of trillions qualities of his bring billion dollars of joy!
