I walk
Harold r Hunt Sr Jan 2015
I Walk
I walk this world.
I hind in the shadows.
I watch all of mankind.
I look and see many of the things.
Some good and some bad.
The good makes me smile.
While the bad makes me cry.
The world is for all to be shared.
There should not be any fighting.
I walk and watch with many of faces.
I listen to prays for peace and cry of to stop the wars.
The prays for peace and happiness is a joy to me
The fighting makes me cry,O Father why?
I just walk and stand by for his answer.

Way back when I was ten
Harold r Hunt Sr Jan 2016
Way back when I was ten
Way back when I was ten i fell in love
She had golden hair and the bluest of eyes.
She was thirteen way back when I was ten
But then love was fun.
She would come to me each day so I could laugh and play.
I would throw a ball to her and I just loved the way she was.
My love for her way back when grew more as we grew old together.
My dog was my only love way back when I was ten.

Around the corner
Harold r Hunt Sr Oct 2014
Around the corner
The old black cat he's taken a nap.
At the house around the corner.
Getting ready to play his game this very night.
For he'll hide out of sight around the corner of the house
Ready to scare you in to a fright.
He'll hide out of the light in the dark of night.
Then jump, at you with a scary meow.
Then off he runs around to the next corner to hide once more.
You hear the dog bark to warn you but out the cat comes like a bolt of lighting
To scare you as you round the corner to yell Trick or treat.
The old cat he plays this game this Halloween night at the house around the corner.

Vampires
Harold r Hunt Sr Oct 2014
Vampires
Out of the dark, he comes.Following you wherever you go.
He hinds in the dark so you cannot see him.
Behind trees, behind building he stays out of sight and the light.
He grabs you and brings you in his arms.
He doesn't want a kiss but just a bite of your neck.
******* all your blood until you're dead.
He vanishes out of sight and on to the next he goes
All night long till he is full. Then on to bed he goes.
waiting till the next he can take to fill his needs.

Waiting in the dark
Harold r Hunt Sr Feb 2016
Waiting in the dark
I am here alone, nobody to speak to.
Nobody to see. Waiting for something to happen.
No nothing for me.
Now I look to see if there is anyone there.
Just waiting here in the dark is not for me.
Only now I open my heart to you.
For now the door has open
I'm not waiting in the dark no more.
For the sunshine is out the door.

A New Years Dream
Harold r Hunt Sr Dec 2015
A New Years dream
I went to bed after the ball dropped
To ring in the New year.
I lay there awhile then off I went.
Into a dream it Had to be done.
There I was in a place I only knew it had to be a dream.
Cars that fly. Trains that hung upside down.
People are wearing funny shoe.That lifts them off the ground.
It was a sight to see.
But I looked and then i woke up.
There was no police and or no crime.
A world where my neighbor was like family.
No name calling,no fighting at all.
It was a dream that maybe some New year it would come true.

The Swing Door.

In and out goes the people.
No one stopping to think.
Open and close one more time. Ouch!! I was hit in the eye.
Back and forth goes the swing door.

Sitting on a mountain top
Harold r Hunt Sr Dec 2015
Sitting On The Mountain top
I climb a mountain slowly.
Trees below look like tall sticks in the ground.
I get near the top and can't see anything below.
So I look up and start to goto the top.
I climb a little more and just below I see a small cloud.
Just little ways to go my head is spinning .
To the top I'm a step away. Grass on top looks just as green.
Now I'm at the top looking up. I do do not see anything but blue sky.
No angles no god .Ask myself where did they go.
I'm sitting on this mountain top and I'm alone.

never say goodbye
Harold r Hunt Sr Jul 2014
Never say goodbye.
Never say good bye to the one you love.
For a goodbye means you shall never return.
A sweet kiss and a later my love.Is just a reason to see you once more?
Never say good bye to a friend.
Friends are hard to find. But keeping them with a later my friend
Is never saying good bye!
Later my friends!!!!!

The Hollow
Harold r Hunt Sr Aug 2014
THE HOLLOW
In the hollow down below.
Do sees trees with shadows of leaves.
There next to the woods I see a deer.
Standing there ready to run. If a hunter was near.
Not far, away there is a barn the red has faded all but away.
The grass has turned to brown.No rain for days.
The creek will have a dry bed.
I must go to play in that sleepy hollow where I stay.

eyes that cry
Harold r Hunt Sr Sep 2016
Eyes That Cry
My eye cry when I just think about the day the towers fell.
They cry when the hear of people being killed.
They cry for the policemen that get killed for only doing their jobs.
My eyes cry for the young that watch as their parents are killed in the street.
They cry for America We are dying as a nation.
My eyes cry when someone tells me another soldier has killed by freedom.
This is the eyes that cry.
They cry one tear at a time for one death
No more they say I can't cry no more.

A tear from mom
Harold r Hunt Sr Jul 2016
A tear from mom.
Mom has gone to the heaven above. To be with dad.
Setting at the window looking at the heaven.
Thinking of times of joy and fun.
A drop of water falls from the sky
I think it's a tear from mom.
A tear to let me things will be ok.
Another tear to say I love you
Sweet tears from the heaven that are mom's
To a dear friend .

Who Am I ?
Harold r Hunt Sr May 2014
I am many. I come from the rich and the poorest of families.
I sleep in mud ,the rain and snow. I eat when I can and where I can.
I only carry a rifle to protect those I am asked to. I ask nothing in return.
I do so because I am proud to love  my country. For what it stands for.
I am an American solder and I will die for you!!!

I should not read that fine print
I should not read the fine print
For it hurts my eyes as I try.
It's so tiny that I cannot read.
To find out that they are taking my money
Or that i have to pay twice to get the gift.
I should not read the fine print
For it might tell me I'm going blind.
So read with care for it might tell you a story

The great New Years Party.
Harold r Hunt Sr Dec 2015
The great New Years Party.
The Potato  chip are on the table
. The dip in the refuge. The beer in the cooler.
The guess will be there soon.
Football on the TV downstairs.
Hot Music on up stairs.
Everything is set. Until then.
The power gets knocked out.
Someone Hit a police car coming out of the driveway.
Ice is now water the beer is warm guests are coming
But just have to set in the dark. The grill out back is just a brazen
No football, we all get arrested for getting the dog drunk.
What a New Years party?
We will just have to start one next year a week before.

Candidate for President
Harold r Hunt Sr Nov 2015
Candidate for President
The candidate they all are aligned on the stage.
A debate we shall have.
Question and answers fired from everywhere.
Money, guns, illegals are on their minds.
They tell us what they want to do,
Not want they will do.
A job for Joe is out the window as Juan gets free housing and food stamps.
Guns they say are killing people. But guns don't people do.
So I say to all the candidate tells your lies now.
For we the people are prepared for the same we have had before.
No truth from you or a President
Vote for a poet!

A Day in heaven.
Harold r Hunt Sr May 2014
A day in heaven with God, in the early morning he hands all the angels a list of names of people he wants in heaven with him. By noon, he stops at the gate and welcomes the new comers.A long line that takes him to the early evening, Then it to the gates of hell to bring the good people away from there. A job that runs the whole night. Then it to sleep he says,with one eye open to watch who is coming soon. To spend a day in heaven with him.

The Christmas Wish List
Harold r Hunt Sr Nov 2014
The Christmas wish list.
In school, the other day.
We had to make a Christmas wish list for Santa
I wished for a doll for my sister
I wished for a rattle for my baby brother
I wished for a better job for my daddy.
I wished for my mom to stop her crying
I wished that all the soldiers would come home.
I wished for the country to be safe for us.
I wished for the president to love our country and not to rip it apart.
So this is my wish list I gave to my teacher.
And with a tear in her eyes she asked me what I wanted Santa to bring me.
I said with a smile on my face I just want him to answer my wish for all.
This poem is a award winning poem A  first place winner in a contest.

the visit
Harold r Hunt Sr Jan 2016
The visit
She sat at the side of the grave. Talking away to who was there.
She got no answer but she lived her day with him.
She cried for awhile,then laugh with joy as she smiled just for a second.
Her visit was long but to her not long enough she had to visit three more graves.
Her days are spent there at the graves. For her family was lost and bring no joy.
As she walked to the other, she stopped to fix the flag on another. Gave a smile.
Then walked on.
Her visit is joy to her only with unhappiness for those she lost.
As he left she closed the gate. And now you all are safe.
Harold r Hunt Sr Jan 2016
They Are coming for our guns.
They are there for our guns.
Should we give them to those that seek.
Should we keep them to show our might.
One shot could provoke a war.
One shot could save our lives
They want our freedom
We say no god saves us.
Should we stand our grounds or should we give them to a traitor
They say it will stop gun crime. We say a bullet will do that.They are there for our guns.
Should we hand them to them or give them a bullet first.
Let's keep our rights.

Under my bed, I do see all kinds of thing.You would not know.
Under my bed, I find some sox. And a small box.
Under my bed. I see a fire truck. It was next to the ******* trunk at the foot of my bed
Under my bed, I see a book. ******* in a knot of fishing line with a hook.
Under my bed, I find a bat. And my yellow cat.
Under my bed, there is a red ball. But I bump my head trying to get under my bed.

Let the music play on
I sit here holding the violin.
Grandpa that you gave me.
Dreaming of the sweet music it plays.
I miss the sounds you made with  it.
Songs you filled my ears with.
Today I hold this violin ready to make some sounds.
I try my best to play like you once did.
As I step on to the stage,I hear someone say let the music play on.
I did just that making it sound like your's.
So my dream of you being here came true in your violin.
I let the music play on as if you were here to hear it sing.
Now me and my violin. Lets the music play on day by day.

Good night. He says it's not night time til you shut off the light.

The moon shines so bright in the middle of the night.
I sit and watch as it rises high in the sky.
I open my book as I start to read by the light of the moon.
The moon that is full is the best to read by. So bright, it's better than candle light.
I don't need a flashlight to meet my friend the moon shows me the way.
It's not dark night tonight I have the light of the moon for my light.

He asked me so many questions I answer the best i could.
He asks,why is there so much hate in my world.
I told him, Because man cannot live with each out.
He asked, why do they have to ****.
I said it's because of the hate and thinking one is better than the other.
He asked Why does man and women,steal,lie and cheat on each other.
I told him I have no answer for this.
For if I did The would Say I was better than God.
And I really don't have the answer for that.

My bird is a parrot.
He is funny as can be.
He hangs upside down in his cage. Like a bat.
He squawks and screams to let you know that he is there.
But he is the funniest when he says get me the hell out of here.
Woody is his name and he'll tell you he's a good boy.
He flies through the house without a care landing on your head to let you know he cares.

Drivers lessons

Drivers lessons  
My wife wanted to learn to drive.  
I found myself in fear not for my life but for my insurance rates.
My heart beat fast and all I could see was those pearly gates.
She climbs in and said let's go.
First she put the key in to start and turn it on (and grind the starter which will be other bills).
I told her to put in reverse that is what r stands for not race.
We back out of the spot nice and easy.
Then I tell her right turn so she turns left.
We go a few feet which is a feat. Then left I tell her she turns right.
i then tell her the other right , she almost hits a car that's parked.
All of sudden I see these lights a cop behind us ,great what next.
He gave us a ticket  which was no surprise.  
We haven't left the parking lot.
She failed the lesson with a fling.I'm just glad she doesn't want to fly!!

New Year for the old
Here we are once more a new year and a day older.
The party was to begin, but mom fell into the bathtub of gin.
Can't pull her out or her nickers might fall.
And there will be no gin.
The table is set for a feast, but the guest are not coming there if a football game on.
So here we set old as we were yesterday
A New Year and nowhere to go
The ball drops and they do dance.
Shouting Happy News Years to all.
But it's just another year to get older
So I go to bed and hope that the year goes fast
I am just to old for this new stuff.

There is music in the clouds today.

The King of country is ready to sing. Hank Williams Sr
Walk to the stage as he sings I saw the light.
The king of rock comes to the stage and the clouds began to shake.
Elvis sings a whole lot of shaking going on.
The last king to show was the king of pop as he did his moon walk .
Michael Jackson As he sings beat it.
They all gather for one more song as the king of bluegrass walks to the stage.

Leaving feels right
I leave you because the walls are closing in.
I feel your love is wrong and I know living is right.
I feel now that I am gone I can be free once more.
To find a love that will be right on so wrong.
Tightness of our love was wrong but was so right.
Touching you was like a whip that ripped my heart when I was wrong but doing right.
So good bye my love maybe wrong but it does not feel right.

Santa's gift
Santa was at the store the other day.
When he came out, he saw a little boy.
The little boy was crying.
Santa right away saw the little boy was dressed in rags.
Santa asks the little boy what was wrong.
The boy said in these words.
I'm not having Christmas this year.
For my father has no job and we are going to move.
My mother has cancer and hard time with it is catching up to her.
My sister is little,happy child and I feel sorry for her because I have no gift.
I wrote to Santa asking him to bring a doll. I want nothing but happiness for her.
This brought tears to Santa's eyes. He told the boy to wait right there.
He went to the store and bought the little girl her doll and the boy in the truck he had asked for in his letter.
Santa went outside and handed the gift to the little boy and said in a deep but sad voice MERRY CHRISTMAS
And walked away.
The little boy look at him and smiled he knew it was santa.
For only Santa and him knew the story .

I have been to hell and did see him.
In his suit of red.
I watched the fire and did not burn.
I just told him I'm heaven bound now.
I'm not coming back. The visit was not all that great.
The heat made my feet stink.

The Phone Calls

The phone call.
I sit here just waiting for the phone to ring.
In the middle of the night. I hear it ring.
It gives me a fright.
Two rings and I want to scream 'do I dare to pick it up.
I dread who might be on the other end. Or could it be them.
Three rings and I think different things.
Did they make it or are the dead.
I think this is the call that we all do dread.
The fourth ring and I reach for the phone thinking should I let it ring once more.
The phone does stop and I wonder why I froze to this call.
Then it rings once more. I grab the phone.
To hear a voice say. We made it mom and we are alright.
Love you and goodnight.
I start to think this was a call that was of joy but of those that are not.
Should I have answered it before.

Angels in the snow
The children are out and about.
The snow has fallen so on the ground.
They start to make angels in the snow.
Some big some small next to each other.
They look as if they are holding hands.
Along train of angles they make
As the school ground white turns
To angel white. Angels are made by angels
Made on this day.
Only if we could bring peace on earth for them.

Music ,when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory...
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.
Rose leaves , when the rose is dead ,
Are heaped for the beloved's bed
And so their thoughts, when you are gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.
As the moon glows upon trees
The birds will sing a song so pretty only

We hear the most famous words"Gentlemen start your engines" to start our first lap.
It's now no time for a nap.
Before we get to move I ask do I need to make this thing run.
As we head to turn one,I think this is going to be fun.
Into turns two I'say when is it your turn.
Both hands on the wheel I must steer.
Come on boys let's get into gear.As we make turn three.
I refer to the trees they look like sticks.
Now I'm in a fix.
Cars side by side as we get the hell out of turn four. There ain't no more.
I give more gas the engine roars.
As I snore for I'm dreaming because I'm only four.

It hurt so much that I could not eat lunch.
So i went to the dentist
She looked at my teeth and she had to pull three
I said **** that tree.
She put me to sleep with a mouth full of cotton.
I didn't know my teeth were that rotten.
When I woke there she stood with a smile and all her teeth.
She looked down at me and she said I had to pull more than one.
I looked in the mirror and i did see what a surprise

Down by the river.
Down by the river, there is a little boat.
It isn't much of a boat.
Red in paint and green of moss.
It sets here at the river side.
Next to the boat there is a bridge
Old by ragged in wood.
We play and swim
Down by the river.
The old fishing hole doesn't have many fish anymore.
The old hobo cooks
Down by the river.
