A midnight walk
Harold r Hunt Sr Dec 2015
A midnight walk
The clock hits ten I know.
A walk I begin to plain.
Down the road I will go.
To the town hall I will see.
The clock will strike eleven
When I get there.
Just a small walk I do think.
I might see a sunk that stinks
To the town park I will go.
Midnight thru the park with a square it might be
A plot of dead bodies at the one gate I will see.
All kinds of noises coming within the dark.
A crow i hear do cry what a surprise that passes me by
Now it's one and think I shall return to my bed.
And forget that midnight walks.

The Two of you
Harold r Hunt Sr Nov 2015
The two of you
It hard to say good to the two of you.
I think of each time I have a glass of milk.
Time we shared over each glass was a great time for me.
I'll miss you both as we part.
I'll only cry when the milk is gone.
So bye for now my two friends
Till the next time I have cookies.

I'm alone
Harold r Hunt Sr May 2014
I'm alone.
L'm alone sitting at my home. Nothing to do because I'm alone.
I walk the floor to the door.But I'm alone.
I don't hear a sound all quiet as can be. Because I'm alone.
I decide to get the door to see if I can hear a sound at all.
But I'm alone.
No lights are on now I can't even hear a cow.
Because I'm alone.
The woods are dark as they can be. I'm alone as can be.
Just as I turn to leave, I hear an owl say who.
So I'm not alone.

July 4th
Tonight I went to watch the fire works.
I watched both black and whites stood side by side.
No hate, Just pride.I watched as a little boy stood and pointed to the sky.
As red white and blue lite the sky.
This little held his hand on his chest and watched so bravely.
The he turn to his dad and said are we free.

It calls your name
Harold r Hunt Sr Jul 2014
It calls your name.
You are set by the widow still so quiet.
Listing to the wind blow as it hits the window.
You hear the sound so humble against the pane
As the wind calls your name.
As you sit on the pouch
The chimes do blow.
They play the music of your name
Recalls your name as it blows
Saying Some day you will hear
Good calls your name.

MRS DAY"S FLOWERS
Harold r Hunt Sr Dec 2015
Mrs.Day Flowers
The table looked no better than when mrs day puts flowers on it.
Each flower shined in the sun light.
Red,blue white and, pink made the light glow.
Every day a bright look of flowers.
Now that Mrs Day has gone the table looks so dim.
No flowers there. Someone takes them to her grave>
Now they glow in the sun light just below her name.
Giving her a smile as each one glows.
Her angels wear a flower in their hair.
Setting the light so bright In her place in heaven.
Mrs Day's flowers are sure missed, but they grow with her love even up above.

I Walk.
Harold r Hunt Sr May 2014
I walk through the valley of  death.
Not knowing which way it will be.
I carry only my rifle to protect me.
Knowing death my come from  him.
I live to server those that i protect.
Like so many have before me.
I love my job and my country.
I'm an American soldier.
So I walk through the valley of death only for you.

I can't sleep at night
Harold r Hunt Sr Jun 2014
I can't sleep at night.
I can't sleep at night and I don't know why.
Toss and turn the whole night but just can't sleep at night.
I close my eyes I don't know why.  I can't sleep at night.
Can't count sheep they make me want to eat.
But I can't sleep at night.
I close the blind to keep out the moon. Because I know, it's not noon.
I can't sleep at night. Do you know why?  
Could it be I didn't turn the lights out!

I Walk Not Alone
Harold r Hunt Sr May 2014
I walk  not alone
I walk not alone. But with many of my brothers and sisters. I watch them fall. Knowing I maybe next. I carry my head high knowing what I doing was making my nation proud.
I stand up for freedom in the world. So I can see little children grow. This land that I serve has been free for over 200 years. Many before me gave their life. Now it's mine to do the same. As the bombs drop, I see  out in the distance a flag. It has many stars and red and white stripes ripped but not fallen. I just think about only one thing this flag is mine and I helped keep it flying. So not only we serve a nation. We serve those that have died before us. So God blesses America And my brothers and sisters.

Return Of Christmas Past
Harold r Hunt Sr Dec 2015
Return of Christmas past
I love Christmas as a holiday
I like the houses all in lights as they glow.
I like the white snow as it falls on the trees.
I like when people say "Merry Christmas" with a smile.
I like making cookies for old Santa
I love the thought of all the gifts that are under the tree.
I love the sound of people singing those old Christmas songs.
I love Christmas. When is it going to return from the past?

The old woman
Harold r Hunt Sr Sep 2015
The old woman
As a white candle
In a holy place,
So is the beauty
As an angel aged face.

As the radiance
Of the winter sun,
So is a woman
With her travail done.

Her brood gone from her,
And her thoughts as still
As the waters
Under a ruined mill.

One More day
Harold r Hunt Sr Dec 2015
One More day
If you could come one more day
You would make the world so happy.
With peace on earth and good will to all.
One day is not enough
People are fighting and shooting guns.
One more santa please.
No gift of toys or cell phones.
Only the gift of love will do.
One more day might bring me happiness.
For that day god would say thank you for your help.

The little boy and his flag
Harold r Hunt Sr Jan 2016
The little boy and his flag
On the corner sat a little boy.
The American flag in his hand.
When asked why he was sitting there.
This is what he said," I watch on tv the other night
A man that said he wanted to make America great again.
He said he would make our country safe.
And Americans proud again.
He said this country was his and our flag shall fly high.
I sit here to show him I'm a red blooded American and proud of my flag.

What if I follow you home? >
What if I held my heart and just smiled at you?
What if I bought you a dozen roses?
What if I said, " I love you"?
What if I gave you a ring?
Would you say I love you too?

walk the road of life
Harold r Hunt Sr Sep 2014
Walk the road of life
As I walk the road of life
I find many road blocks.
Some are harder to make than others.
Life is at the cross roads when you don't know which way to go.
I see the final road is reached when you try to turn and can't find a road to take.
But if you take that final step. You did n't work hard enough to find a better road.
Choose the right road as there are many.
And life is too short to hunt for the right road.

Walking the river.
Harold r Hunt Sr Aug 2014
Walking the river.
As I walk the river banks
The water seems to flow as if it was following me.
The trees with their branches sum the touch of water to drink.
The river is so quiet that it is nice to walk along just to think.
The birds are flying above the trees ready to take a fish they might see.
The sun it sets and the glare makes the water shine in different colors.
I enjoy a walk along the river and to see all that there.
Got a Honorable Mention Award.

Tears
Harold r Hunt Sr Sep 2014
Tears
For 13years the tears have fallen
They fall for heroes and they fall for love ones.
They crash into three parts of the country.
To remember a day that we now honor them.
A day of pain not of joy a day of lost not of find.
The country is flooded with not of water but of these tears.
Two building falls to the ground. One building left with a hole.
In a lonely field, it becomes not lonely no more.
We honor these people for their love.
We will never forget because that is our love for them.
So don't wipe the tears away because you'll wipe away memories.

the walking moon
Harold r Hunt Sr Aug 2014
The walking moon
Two lovers join hands in the early evening to go walking.
They walked a round the pond that was still.
You could look at the moon start to shine.
As the walk they kiss one time And looked to the sky
The moon was bright and cloud blew by
And it looked as if the moon had winked.
As they walked along they said to each other
This is our walking moon.

I Live But Never Die
Harold r Hunt Sr Nov 2015
I live but never die
I am an American born free here.
I live here and I will not die here.
I am a solider now for my country.
I have fought in many wars.
Along side my brothers and sisters.
I fought for freedom for you and many more.
I live but I will not die.
I may get killed in battles not won.
But I will not die.
I will live forever in the minds of those that know me.
I will live on the lips of those that only know my name.
But I will not die for i'm a hero to all Americans
For I'm A solider forever known.

On the death of thee
Harold r Hunt Sr Sep 2015
On the death of thee
There's little joy in life for me,
And  little terror in the grave:
I've lived the parting hour to see
Of one I would have died to save.

Calmly to watch the failing breath,
Wishing each sigh might be the last;
Longing to see the shade of death
Over those beloved features cast;
The cloud, the stillness that must part
The darling of my life from me;
And then to thank God from my heart, to thank him well and fervently:
Although i knew that we had lost
The hope and glory of our life;
And now , benighted, tempest-tossed,
Must bear alone the weary strife

The rabbit foot
Harold r Hunt Sr Oct 2014
The rabbit foot
Walking through the woods one day I spied a thing on the ground.
It happens to be a rabbit's foot. At least I thought.
In my pocket, it did go. Then the trouble it began to flow.
I fell down in a hole and broke my elbow.
Then I ran up the steps and in to the door. A black eye did have for a week I think.
The to the bath tube I went. With a splash. I didn't have time to take my close off.
To bed, I went with a bang as the bed fell apart.
And now I think with a sad face because I found out it wasn't a rabbit foot at all.

My deck
My deck is a nice place.
You can see for miles away.
The trees on the mountain tops.
Leaves that is starting to change.
To the right the city, I do see.
What a pity to the green trees.
Cars and trucks the sound do pound their ears away.
To the left the woods I see. A deer standing as still as could be.
As if he belongs there at the edge.
Over the rail in front is the pool for a place to get real cool.
My deck the place I want to be. How about you?

In To The Night
Harold r Hunt Sr Sep 2015
In to the night
In to the night he goes.
With no fear he shows.
In to the night he flies.
On the wings of an angel he will ride.
To see what maybe a downfall with no pride.
In to the night he goes.
To help those in need.
To answer their prayers
In the shadow of the night he goes.

WAKE UP AMERICA
Harold r Hunt Sr Jan 2016
Wake up  America
Wake up America They took your land.
They took our bow and arrows first.
They said to stop us from killing them.
They took the tee *** which we called home.
They said no more buffalo to make our close and have some food.
The history is there to see.
As they take our guns today.
No protection for you or me.
They will take our home as they do.No job for us because they have them all.
No food,no schools. They even want our God.
Banning the for loving our country and pray to who ever they tell.
Now Wake up America before we are all gone.

False Love
Harold r Hunt Sr Sep 2015
False love
False love,and thou played me this
In the summer among the flower?
I will repay thee back again
In winter among the showers.
Unless again, again, my love.
Unless you turn again:
As you with other maidens rove,
I'll smile on other men.

Tears from above
Harold r Hunt Sr Aug 2014
Tears from above
The sky opens up
A ray of sunshine shines from the heaven above.
No rain round but a felt a drop from above.
God cries a drop of tears for the world today.
Wars here and there. People are dying for no reason at all.
Brothers fighting brothers once more .Blood on the hand of those that kills.
Causes God to cry the tears from above.
Heaven closes to stop the tears.
So the shine can shine another day without tears from above.

He asked do you smoke.
I said "Why now do you see any?"
He said,"do you drink", I said," Why do you need one?"
Then he said. "Strip off you close".
I said," I hope you 're not taking off yours"!
Then the doctor said. "Can I see your ears?"
I said,'i clean them everyday"
Then he says. "Broaden your mouth and stick out your tough,".
I said,"I only do that a to my wife"!
Then he says."Why are you here today?"

The Mouse
The mouse in the hole in the floor.
Was gray little thing. But brave as could be.
In and out she would go.Just to smell the cheese.
The cats would gather to see as they could catch her.
One cat two cats now there are three.
Fast as she could go she would run.
Under the door, she would go.
And there was the fourth.
And now there is no mouse to look for.

I know who you married and who you burned
I know your job and I know you work for a slob.
I know when you go to bed and I know if you bumped your head.
I know a lot about you they do say.Business Your Life
But I say you don't know ****!

The bird
A little green bird flies to my window sill.
He sits so still that you think he is part of the window.
He watches the other birds fly by just moving very little.
He makes a sound as if to say I want to get out.
He then flies about with a cry so loud.
Then right back to the window sill.

The old man
The old man he stood on the street corner in town.
Always had a smile for everyone.
He wore an old ragged coat and a pair of pants with holes.
It was nice day to him when you said "hello" to him.
A box was next to him on the corner.
You put ad dollars or so in the box
The old man would dance a jig for you.
Then tip his hat with a thank you.
Now on the corner where he stood is someone that can't dance a jig.
He can"t give a smile but the old box is still there.

But I had to watch twice.With a sign of confession.
The book said your blood was blue.
No green or yellow or even red.
But just blue.
I looked more than I thought.
I cut myself and bleed.I bleed red.
When I get a ****** nose. I bleed red.
Blue I can say brush my teeth to hard and I bleed red.
No it's not blue I can say.
For I bleed red.

The angels are nearer than you think
Hiding in the clouds waiting for your call
Just above the clouds looking down on us
Dressed in white to stay out of sight.
The angels are nearer than you think.
Could they be waiting for your call."Please take me to heaven I can't wait"
Believers ,look up the angels are there , take the courage to go with them
Look to the sky a smile will tell
I know you're with the angels that nearer than what you think.

I came up on this great big wall.
Tall as two houses on top of each other.
So big you can't see over it.
I asked a man if he knew who built such a wall.
He said an american president.
For what reason I asked.
He said to keep illegal people from going on to taking job.
Food and homes.
He also said that it keeps out people that don't like america.
He said I came here the legal way and i love america.
But this wall is not going stop them.

Taken you back in time.
Harold r Hunt Sr Jun 2014
Taken you back in time.
I have taken you back in time to main street in U.S.A.
Back to a swing on a hill or the old house at one end of town.
While we swim in the old water tower. I have in mind the flag and how it flies.
Back in time to the cabin in the woods or to the playgrounds where children do in play.
To a soldier saying hi to a little boy. While he races his horse to the west.
You look into the clouds and you hear the music of heaven playing with the greatest.
Poetry brings you back in time as well as the present. It is in a good writer that he can put it in words.
So the next time you read a poem asks your self,have I been there or will I go there?
Just remembers the weekend thrill and how on Saturday you may write your poem.
Please read each poem that is in this poem.

What are your dreams I want to hear.
Are they funny or about money?
Can they be scarey or are the a little hairy?
Do you dream of a car that will take you far?
Do you dream of a girl with those pearls on?
What do you dream of?
How about a dream of how to milk a cow.
If it's funny and not about money how about the Easter bunny.
Is it about someone you care for or a big old bear?
What make you dream of, no one knows but you.

Christmas with Christ
Harold r Hunt Sr Nov 2015
Christmas with Christ
I was setting on a hillside late Christmas eve.
Not saying a thing to anyone.
When a man came up along side of me and sat down.
We sat there for hours and said nothing.
The moon went and the sun came up.
The man stood and started to walk away.
Then he turns and said someday there will be world peace.
Then he left.
I thought to myself that had to be Christ.
For this is Christmas and he would have only known.What was on my mine.
