The joy of the sparrows As they sang in their parliament A sawed off tree was the seat Of their chirping counsel While the others were

Riches: Jordan Derksen

12/21/201607/10/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

I always wondered does a rich man's dinner taste sweeter? Do the drinks keep coming when your pockets are flushed with cash. Like a poet on payday,

Send Your Smile: Jan McCartney

12/21/201607/11/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Send your smile to me. Send it with your eyes, your laugh, your being. Send your smile to me always to brighten up the

Dependence on Delicateness: James Adamson

12/21/201607/11/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

All the ages and all the numbers are astounded by the space and time of your beauty. Your smile outnumbers all the pleasure of a bird song on the solar wind. Your eyes shine to

Key to the City: Gerald Herron

12/21/201607/12/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Faron Hall, a homeless man, saved two people from drowning; the mayor came down, shook his hand, did not give him a key to the city. A prestigious award one would think! Now I hear they’re handing them out like candy: Henry Winkler, Gene Simmons. “One of these things doesn’t belong with the other”. But … Continue reading Key to the City: Gerald Herron

Just Enter: Cassandra Kulay

12/21/201607/10/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Just enter my consciousness to find what my aura may confess. Just enter inside my loneliness, Sadness and solitude can refresh, just enter into where prayers are said. I could put up walls to keep you out but I would rather share my fear and doubt. Sometimes I don’t know what to do, just enter … Continue reading Just Enter: Cassandra Kulay

Silly Sonnet: Brian Smith

12/21/201606/29/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

The other day, I met a man his employees called him Mr. Shake. In his business, his life did span, so it’s time for his retirement cake.

Love: Robert St.Germain

11/12/201607/10/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Love can come along and free you from the past. The other times it can kick you in the ass. Love can be a nightmare, or a dream come true. There is some love out there for me and you. You can spend ages trying to track it down. Then out of nowhere, it comes … Continue reading Love: Robert St.Germain

Simply Beautifully Complex: Peter Herget

11/12/201607/10/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

The mind thinks and overthinks. It conflicts and contradicts. It is simple yet complex, it is good and sometimes bad.  It tells of truths but yet it lies and sometimes goes between. What is true? and what is false? Sometimes there is little but yet so much more to it than what appears to be. … Continue reading Simply Beautifully Complex: Peter Herget

Unfaithful: Papion

11/12/201607/10/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

I am thinking of you every minute of the day When I see you I have nothing to say If I can go back to that very night I would have fought my feelings with all of my might I can remember that look in your eyes I had an idea you were full of … Continue reading Unfaithful: Papion
