So you are hooked on phonetics
Introduce yourself to the keyboard and computer screen
Remember to keep your writing precise and lean
Have a dictionary beside you so know what words you want to use in how the words will fit in what you want to write, and knowing the words in the definition in what they mean
Now that the computer is ready
Then your thoughts being steady
The theory behind writing might be a composition
But then again, that would be your decision
Let’s write about what inspired you to write, and we can extend from there
But let me start with myself as an example
It was a sleepless night
There was tossing and turning
I turned on the lamp light
Words began to pop into head
This all happened while I was still in bed
Words and sentences that just came together
Sentences after sentences
References with more references
My mind began to take control
It was words and sentences that illustrated behold
I was very much surprised
But I began to realize
There was definitely writing in me
So I knew immediately at that moment, I had to pursue
Yet writing was never on my mind then
It was when telling me to start
I was totally connected and didn’t part
Writing is completing what you start
It then become right on
How’s that for your Writing 101?
Guess what, this lesson is complete and we are now done.

SUNDOWN
preservationman Nov 2020
It was the town of Waterville Glutch
The state of Wyoming
Robbery on a Stagecoach
The passengers who were travelling folks
The Stagecoach was transporting Money and Bonds from Mission Heights, Missouri
to Waterville Glutch to Safeway Bank
The Robbers had the plan all figured out
Even knew the schedule of the Stagecoach moving about
Every Mountain trail was a scout out
The Sheriff moved swiftly without fail
But when darkness hit, it was hot pursuit for later postponed until the next morning
Meanwhile, the Robbers were well secluded in the hills
They were thirsty and headed towards a well
But do tell
The Sheriff had captured the Robbers and vowed that a shooting of them would take place at Sundown
The Sheriff brought back the Robbers to Waterville for a shooting in their Death
He decreed that stealing being a reason to die
So the Sheriff hung the Robbers high on a tree where they will be unable to break free
Tense moments and sweat as the sun beamed high before sundown
Immediately, it was sundown with anticipation
Suddenly the Sheriff shots rang out and the bullets high the Robbers which they were instantly dead
Waterville Glutch Sheriff brought justice to the town
But also relayed a message, if anybody wants to rob or cause disturbance, Justice will be served in a big way

Steve’s story was once told
A very encouraging Man who is Old
When he talks his wisdom takes whole
But Steve is a Man who is bold
Steve once glazed at someone and they literally froze
It was a response in not being able to move
There was simply no statement to prove
That is just how Steve was
Mysterious to a cult
Don’t even think about taking a vote.

MILES
preservationman May 2020
Hours into days
Highways upon country roads all the way
Nonstop
It was Cross Country on the Hound
Travelling from the East Coast to the West Coast
However, rest stops made along the way
There were Bridges crossed overlooking the bays
But I will be travelling with no Hotel enroute to stay
Cities after cities in Downtown
Oh that Hound bus knows how to get around
Small Towns with citizens in their wave
Hello America, thanks for the encouragement all the way
The Rocky Mountains that marveled me
It was a spectacular sight to see
The other mountain formations reminded me of the Old Western movies
A thought that came to mind, “Hang Them High”
A Navaho Indian sitting on a horse waved to our Hound Bus when we passed by
He captured my heart and I knew I got in touch with America
But the Indian was friendly to the tee
It was definitely the key
I even travelled the Seven Hills
Up in Distance and down in descending
It seemed those hills had no ending
Mind you, I have travelled the Hound Bus to the West Coast 4 times
It was a 4 days journey each way
Yet spend 7 days in Hotel stays
So let me applaud that Hound Bus
Countryside admired
Yet the whole time I felt inspired
The USA was my getaway
But I am certainly happy to say
My journey was simply ok.

HOUNDING MILES

Hours into days
Scenery as we accelerate astray
Downtown along with towns
America’s bus
Leave the driving and don’t forget about us
The beauty of reclining and relaxing back
Communicating with all passengers in acquainting chat
That stretched out racing hound knows the way
But it is the skillful driver who does this every day
Routes recorded into miles
But this is surrounds the Greyhound bus style
The bus wheels turning in schedules precise
Noon Day into sunrise the next day with arrival nice
Covered state after state
I have seen America and that is no hesitate
Nothing but time
The getaway being genuine
The hound took me away
I have my Hotel when I arrive that I will stay
I am picturing Banjos, Trumpets and any other musical instrument that I can think of as I ride
It’s excitement in what America provides
The feeling of welcome
It’s the hound’s way in illustrating
Hound ward bound
The name says it all, the Greyhound blend
Travel until the end

Gone on to glory
Left a story
Grandson, Rain only lasts a moment
Sunshine brings the joy of what is to come
You are never alone
As you learn, life will be known
There will be days of sadness and despair
Your Heavenly Father is always near
When you kneel and pray things begin to change
It becomes a rearrange
Grandma’s experiences what gave wisdom
I am now up in the Heavenly Kingdom
You will fall, but always get up
Don’t complain
Negative things will remain
Always put Christ first
Never in reverse
Storms will come and go
You will get to know
Understanding in life will flow
Just be assured and be patient
Your blessings will radiate
Grandma knows
Your encouragement was the show
Hold on to Faith
Someday you will deliver your own show and tell
Your own wonders will turn out swell
Grandma can agree to that
Remember Grandma’s words, “Turning Point to Living”.

Keep living until Heaven calls
Accelerate at your own pace
Test your mind being your own race
Sit only for a brief pause
Always be on the move and ready for possibilities
This is your own retirement to prove
Just because you are retired doesn’t spell OLD
Illustrate by being bold
Remember, you are the best story ever told
Retirement is a life revival
Opportunities to meet new adventures
Exploring many ventures
Retirement continues until time’s out
Until that time, keep moving about
This is your time and establishment
Make it spectacular and robust

My words are now praise
My heart is full of amaze
I am beyond the clouds and Cameras
CNN and CBS were my Earthly past
My years did last
Remember how I brought you news
Stories that made you wonder and be enthused

Captured stories that had effect
My final destination being Heaven
I caught God’s attention
I am now his representation
God simply said, “I have Heaven News for you to spread”
Rise and follow me from your bed

Soared among the many eagles and birds
I heard whispers from the Lord
At peace

You think you are so tough
You act rough
Your mannerisms are enough
Everywhere is your turf
When it comes to the beach and swimming, you don’t even know how to surf
Your diamonds say bling
You are playing the big and bad thing
You think you are like a ****
Some see you as the Goodyear blimp
Contrary of your mind
Women no how to tame
You are just lame
You might act tough on the streets
Gangs are strong and they know how to bring you down to defeat
Your aim with a gun misses the target every time
You are gentle on the inside
Yet show exterior of power on the outside
Your demeanor tells a whole different story
You think you are in your glory
But wait
It will be shown that you are not tough at all
Power is what you think you have
You can’t control which you don’t own
You are acting full blown
The streets have your number
Be careful where you slumber
You are like an hour glass, your time is almost up

ACCELERATION INTO STEP IN
preservationman Sep 2020
Fast in moving
A dream is only a dream
At least that is what it would seem
It sounds impossible
Yet there is truth
I am asleep, but I am unable to be awoke
I see my life maneuvering within my dream
I am standing and surrounded by a lovely intriguing stream
I glaze and see my own reflection
But comes a story behind it
I am tormented by many storms
I cry and tears are flowing fountains
Suddenly I am among the mountains
High and mighty with interesting peaks
Alone I am
Then I am surrounded by humble and peace
Silence is in the atmosphere
Immediately I am compelled to turn, turn and turn
Like a Stop Watch, I am in the heart of my dream
Yet I feel frightened
But somewhere within me, I am enlightened
A certain trust comes over me
Yet there is no vision of existence for me to see
A voice echoes walk
I find myself in a talk
Suddenly have to stop
I wonder and asked myself, is this a dream will true
It seemed my yesterday became today
But there was no need for me to worry about tomorrow
My tomorrow had already taken place
Yet I walked and continued to walk
But a voice in the distance gave me a talk
You think you are alone, but I am with you letting it be known
The place that you wonder about is Heaven
It’s about Praise and Rejoice
You have stepped in, and never ever will have to step out

Observes, but what does he really see?

YESTERDAY’S WIVES

Some say a day of the ordinary
Others might say extraordinary
Wives that were married to Husband’s who cheated
No honesty, but pure deceit
Husbands would prance out with other women on the side
Some Husbands would even do it where they used to reside
There was no Wives love
It was all Forget Me Not
Wives tried to be faithful, but how do you be faithful when Husbands were cheating on the side
Wrong was going to be right as the Wives themselves were going out doing their thing
Partake was going to be called for Heaven’s sake of love
Seems like a relationship battle
It was by way of Tick Tac Toe
Even score
The Wives were putting their former Husbands on notice by way of know
Affection at its best depending on which side you were on
The Husbands could care less
No one wants to concede
It seems the Husbands were doing thing
The Wives had found their individual fling
Yesterday has turned tomorrow in a big way
Both sides are like the runway with all having their get away
Husbands swinging and Wives fulfilling
Yesterday’s Wives with their outside missions to please
Everyone maneuvering at ease
Let’s see how long this will last
Yesterday’s Wives all in heat
It’s between the sheets

I have fond memories
My life from Beginnings to Present
I also have bad memories
Life hasn’t always been perfect
Resentment
Perhaps less deserving
Trust wasn’t always on my side
Questionable responses
Through circumstances I gained living experiences
Encouraged through influences
Craftsmanship in carving abilities
Letting my past be my learning experiences
Pitfalls breakthroughs
Turning garbage waste into lifelong possibilities
One thing assured, I was loved
Memories whether good or bad and maybe both
They become always remember
Character is built up
Ready to conquer the world in where one never thought possible
Tomorrow becomes a checklist of one’s life
Preparation beyond
Beyond dreams
Memories helping me to always be involved and take part in life
Fond to the utmost
I am the open book on the shelf
Readable and inspired

Average women, Jane Holiman
By night, being a crime fighting avenger
It happened to Jane Holiman by surprise
But I must emphasize
Ms. Holiman had acquired powers beyond the world's expectations
She became Megawomen
Amazone muscles would grow in proportions along with size
But Ms. Holiman had no idea what they would be used for
Fighting crime and bringing to Justice
But was that her destiny?
A Night Star spoke to her one given night and told Ms. Holiman told her that becoming Megawomen was a gift behind the purpose, and that she was the chosen one
She was told to embrace in her powers
But use them for the good and imprison evil
Soon later, Jane Holiman thought about being Megawomen
She also thought about the footsteps she was following such as SUPERGIRL, WONDER WOMEN, STAR GIRL and others
Jane Holiman would be known as MEGAWOMEN with powers beyond mortals in strength and Judgement in heart
Destiny a waits

A PAST FROM 1947
preservationman Nov 2020
First let me inform
1947 I was not born
This poem involves a 1947 Silversides bus that was designed in that year
Now let me preserver
As a Bus Hobbyist
The Silversides is history on every list
It was the 1960’s when my Godmother ran a Charter trip to the Dutch Country, which you know them as the Amish in Pennsylvania
It was a Red and Silver design
It looked like a Trailways fleet
But for me the bus was unique
The Silversides was the Motor coach kind
I actually rode being genuine
There was no Restroom aboard
There was Air Conditioning, but it was the season of spring on a mild day so the Air Conditioning wasn’t needed
I was enjoying riding the Silversides being a Vintage of history
I was given the opportunity to ride a bus having a past
The evolution of time that accelerated fast
But my name is on the 1947 Greyhound Silversides housed at the Greyhound Bus Museum in Hibbing, Minnesota
So I will always be reminded of vintage
The opportunity surrounding privilege
Bus Education giving me leverage

Around and Around
Traveling through destinations one journey at a time
Where your journey takes you, nobody knows
Expectations feeling like sensations
Efforts leading into opportunities
There’s no telling where journey’s will make their mark
But it becomes learning experiences to fulfill
It won’t be complete until
Pass your own possibilities quiz as the drill
Circulation should be flourishing appreciation
Seeking advice as suggestions
Thinking on what you never thought
Forgetting on the never will
Yet, only you yourself who knows their true self
It is not about everybody else
Think of yourself in a Time Capsule with a mission
It’s about precision
Coming to your decisions
Followed by purpose and reason
Why the journey?
The only way to find out is too explore
The answer will be in your own journey
But remember, you must observe
You will not notice right away
It will be what you learned being a take away
Trust me, it will be straight understanding
This is where Learning and Development take place
It is not a waste
Time well spent
It’s where your expectations went
Go where you have never gone before
Journey in with continuation out.

SLEEPING ROUGH

I am on the street
No roof
Sleeping on the pavement
Once lived in a Two Bedroom Apartment
My apartment had assortments
One night there was a knock at the door
I thought should I open or ignore?
It was the Landlord
He stated, “WHERE IS YOUR RENT?”
You see, I was working, but was laid off after working for a company for 12 years, the company was doing bad
It was good bye to this lad
I was on unemployment and received my Severance
I was living off the two sources
I was the only forces
Now the sources have been exhausted
I hadn’t paid the rent in months
The Landlord evicted me at once
The Street is where I nest
Living outside is not the best
The Shelters are not for me
They are not safe you see
Pavement life
Living my own advice
The thought of home is only within me
Alone
No Family
Regrets
Homeless into endless
This is where I roam
The street I call home
My name is not known
I am nowhere to be found
Maneuvering people and car movements are my only sounds.

NYC Transportation history
Behind is a lot of mystery
The ride on the LIRR
A railroad that goes far
You don’t really need your car
Destination could be NYC Midtown or East side
The journey of LIRR and Metro North will provide
Some from Metro North Grand Central and LIRR Queens, Brooklyn and Long Island points
Places to go
Feel the traffic commuting traveling flow

Tomorrow is a day in what you learned yesterday
Seeming far
Yet will come
Will I see?
Uncertain with a let be
There is a tomorrow
Continuous throughout
It will sometimes come with sorrow
Circumstances of all kinds of situations
Yesterday the preparations
Surface with a rise
Actions like a surprise
Purpose within reason
To-mor-row
Arrived
A what might with a could be.

AMERICA SMILES MARVELOUS
preservationman Jan 2021
It was a hard previous four years
America wondered if she would ever preserver
But the sunrise came up being hope
A new day in showing us in how we will cope
Today, President Biden and Vice President Harris were sworn in
This is America’s true democracy to begin
Separation will now come together as one
The world will now be coupled among
Yet the task of the new President won’t be easy
But through God’s guidance, President Biden will succeed
It will responsibility from the world in proceed
Today, America has a reason to smile
But it was turmoil during while
America’s moment is now
Tomorrow is a new day
Darkness finally has light
Hearts have become open and not tight
The pressure has truly eased off
America is not ready for a new course
The mission to defend America’s Constitution until the end
Having the House and Senate working together
So congratulations to President Biden and Vice President Harris
The world applauds
From the previous shadows and into the mainstream of stride
Have no fear, as God will direct in provide
I salute my wine glass high in both your honors
The world has a reason to breathe
America is settled in feeling realized

HOUNDING WAYS
preservationman Apr 2022
It’s the Hounding roadways code
The running dog in behold
Depart with arrive
But it is varying times not Nine to Five
Schedule that is intact
Greyhound Bus Lines, Inc. acceleration to be exact
Drivers cruising behind the wheel
Satisfaction Customer travel a big deal
Greyhound being an Icon with a long operating history
It’s no mystery
The stretched out hound many destinations bound
Terminal announcements of Departures and Arrivals in sounds
Go moving with a flow
Leave the Driving to Us you know
Terminals being the start to finish
This is what makes Greyhound so distinguished
To some travelers a dream come true
To others, do I want to pursue
Greyhound being a roadrunner’s friend
To the very end
One hound thought at a time
But please no nickels and dimes

COUNTRYSIDE LIKE NO OTHER
preservationman Jun 2021
Mountains upon Mountains
Highways onto countryside roads
I have been traveling days in miles
Picture taking during while
Cowboys riding their horses
Up close and personal with Farmers in their crops
It closed me to make a little stop
Ranches upon Ranches
The Towns people in their welcome wave
Looking for shade
Sleep at sundown and rise at the Morning Sun
It’s a new day to wake up being among
Always a new beginning with every tomorrow
Mountains high
Hills with a highway rise
Around the bend being always a surprise
At times, there was a detour
But I felt a discovery like being on a tour
I saw flashing Greyhound Bus lights
The Greyhound Dog stretched out in plain sight
Distance from East to West
I covered territory and I can confess
I felt the test of inspiration and disappointment
Yet in between there was a compliment
The countryside showed me who citizens were
It was a journey’s end
I will always remember while I can
I will travel and greet again
But my travel has now come to an end

What do each letter represent?
Does your heart expel in what they spell?
Every letter being a meaning within its self
Sentences only guide and explain
The words are looking to captivate your very soul
Into the mind wanting you to explore
The words are determined and forcing you to not ignore
They are the conquerors being the seekers
They are the believers in one letter at a time
The words want to show you their world you have never seen
But your mind must be ready to come clean
Imagine yet believe
The surface of your forbidden soul
Open up and let the words enter
Surprises after surprises
What comes out is realize
Words you never knew
Their story in what they can do
But now you have a clue
All new
Hidden words all along

Blessed Assurance
Thank you for your influence
You were a friend
It was that golden blend
Your tomorrow came ahead of schedule
Heaven was your Birthday surprise
The gates of Heaven were awaiting your arrival
Your personality was genuine
You were the texture of any elegant wine
You showed the world your love for animals and people being kind
But you heart was always genuine
You were a woman of courage and showing no fear
It was your laughter that was always near
Betty White was one of a kind beyond compare
Your life being full of laughter and joy
You were your own original and no decoy
You enriched the world’s hearts
Your inspiration being well done
No matter what role you played, you were superb
You are now reunited with your Husband in Heaven
It’s a splash Dance moment
You gave the world hope
You maneuvered around cope
Golden Girl, you left legacy as your merit
You will always be cherished
There is only one Betty White
The world doesn’t take that light
You nourished our souls through laughter
This is no goodbye
I won’t even cry
You would say, “Remember me what I established on TV”
You are at peace
Your message to the world is “Turn your dreams into reality”
Fulfill and complete
Act on confidence, but be in a determined mode
You are soaring like an Eagle in free flight
You earned Heaven’s Wings
See you there
Until the chosen time, we will meet again

HALLOWEEN TRICK OR TREAT
preservationman Oct 2018
Be careful walking down the streets
You never know what creatures you might meet
But there might be a knock at the door
Hide under the covers but you won’t be able to ignore
You might find yourself in a scream
Creatures know how to be mean
The Moon is where it starts
One slash is the code of the mark
It’s flesh and blood the creatures want
So do plan to try to be alive
The Day and Night might seem blight
Darkness upon with no light
The cost for living doesn’t sound bright
So don’t even think you will have a Good Night
The fright will be your plight
It’s a scary affair
Creatures come out from everywhere
This night is a Phantom fanfare
The best thing I can say is “Happy Halloween” to preserver as it is only fair.

What was taught came to pass

Those loss, what a pity
Beaming rise
Pearly having a surprise
Follow until
New beginning awaits

BY THE ENFORCING WATERS
preservationman Jun 2018
It was that refreshing drink
It was my time to think
That moment alive
I stand and abide
Being a Slave seeing the moving waves illustrate my past life
It was regardless of being a Slave, I have family that create the unity
It was those heritage roots forming a community
Togetherness being hand in hand
Singing spiritual blessings until
I remember praying morning, noon and night that Slavery would once be abolished
My cries in desperation in needing a resolution
I moan for family gone and seek out my families alive
Yet those waters offered a cleansing
Revitalizing and connecting to Heaven itself in commitment
Oh the spiritual rejoice in fellowship with my family ancestors
Waters cooling off while I was hot
Heaven took hold
My testimony, “Have pity on my Soul”
I remained a Slave no more
Uncertainty became possibilities to explore
My new life was reunited with family once more
The waters showed in the vision, and reason to not ignore
Opportunity had truly risen
Advancement was a given chance
So family instilled that unity
The waters were the added purity
The chain was strong in the family bond
Yet I thought to always look upon
It wasn’t a dream, and it wasn’t a yond
It was the flowing waters showing reality in what families should be
It all surrounded me
Flowing waters were the absolute ingredients in family threshold
It’s more than a drip at a time, but a thirst for all family time.

POETRY DIGEST
preservationman May 2022
Regulation of point
Emotions from within
A past from then
Formulating from when
Time capsule mind cometh words
Open forum of voices
Dialog being choices
Quietness with no disturb
Enlighten by every given word
Time that said
Sentences that amplified
Poet’s moment
Hear me now and hear me good
Time doesn’t wait
Be patient and appreciate
Many Poets have said “Let your words be remembered”
Into the light
The focus from darkness
Before into after
A matter of fact
Muster the feel
Make it personal being the seal
Only Poet’s knows for sure
Ship to shore
Balancing the score
A storm that came
Survival from witness
Eyes saw
A moment I couldn’t ignore
The truth that was told
A Poet upfront and bold
Poetry never gets old
Words and sentences guiding taking whole
Poets in the emphasize
True to life into everlasting.

A MOTHER BEING A MOTHER
preservationman May 2022
It started from my very birth
It was your love flourished to me on Earth
A time when I was sad
Even when I was mad
You took care of me when I was sick
That memory will always stick
It was your love no matter what
Your wisdom taught me that the world won’t be kind
Your words were genuine
Your love was sun up to sun down
You were always around
I cherish the moment of your bed time kisses
Your hearty meals being your fixes
Pulling the bed covers over me
It was a true Mother for me to see
You support me in every way
I still remember this day
When I graduated from High School, it was your loud cheer
When I finished college, you said “Show the world your preserver”
You made me the adult I am today
You died many years ago, but your legacy lives on
Our bond together was strong
Your spirit continues to help me get along
You helped me understand in life where I belong
You made it so clear
I still feel that you are near
You enriched me in Faith
Salvation at every length
I can hear your voice now, “Remember what I always said “Always Remember”
Assurance doesn’t just happen, it is decreed
You are my every moment
I take the time to be inspired in many moments to come
Love you
Now and Forever

HOLY, HOLY, HOLY
preservationman Mar 2021
I praise to the Lord boldly
This is the week to be steadfast and Holy
The reflection back is how Jesus is merciful and sweet
It is not something that you will find in a tweet
It’s the spoken gospel words that speak
Jesus went to the cross to abolish our sins
Our praises should be often, but not now and then
Jesus is the beginning and end
The course was set
It was hours of agony that Jesus spent
Yet the cross is our reminder are we ready to stand
An hour could be our second
The minutes the precise time
It’s Heaven our aim
It’s the blessings behind that remain
Anguished and torn
Everyday we should make the Jesus name full blown
Jesus prayed until he couldn’t pray anymore
Mocked and beaten
But it was the prophecy that had to be fulfilled
The idea of accepting Salvation, but there’s a will
The open door being free
This was decreed through Thee
Our sins are forgiven
Yet with salvation comes responsibility
Commitment requires action
A Heavenly voice so powerful
Yet Jesus who is so merciful
The Lord loves us so
Our Hallelujah should have a flow
Holy, Holy I extend to you
This is Holy week
Let Faith continue to be strong and not fall weak
Let your eyes look to the Heavens in encouragement you seek
Holy, Holy, Holy
I must continue to say that boldly
Jesus reminds us, we must make sure that our spiritual soul stays true through and through
Holy once again
Embrace in the joy
Now shout Hallelujah
Be blessed my Sisters and my Brothers

WHAT HAPPENS TOMORROW?
preservationman May 2022
I wonder all the time surrounding my family
There doesn’t seem to be any care
I feel on alert of beware
There should be love
There is none to think of
Excuses with refuses
I am picturing my own Funeral
My family didn’t communicate with me when I was alive
They are nothing but jive
I am actually living in my own strive
Family love was mentioned to me
It wasn’t from their heart
No sincerity
My tomorrow could very well be soon
It might even take place at western terms, “High Noon”
Family needs to talk to me while I can answer
Otherwise, it will be disconnected to everlasting
What did I do so wrong?
I don’t see a get along
I often wonder, is this the family I belong?
I deserve better than this
This is nothing to pass by and miss
When goodbye comes that’s the finale
Never to return
Family is about associate
Moments to appreciate
Foundation of create
What happened?
Where’s how and when?
Don’t make it a pretend
Everlasting is the end
Don’t wait until I am in the box
Don’t maneuver like a fox
You should do while I was living
Now it is all about deceiving
You had no intention from the beginning
Tomorrow will be what it is supposed to be
I am not going to wait and see
Living is about life
I am not going to give advice
Tomorrow will come in where time went
