Verse Poems
Bill Maynard (1928-2018)
by Randy Johnson
A British actor entertained people as Selwyn Froggitt and The Gaffer.
During his 89 years of life, Bill Maynard gave millions the gift of laughter.
He starred in a few episodes of both 'Worzel Gummidge' and 'Heartneat'.
He starred once in both 'The Ugliest Girl In Town' and 'Coronation Street'.
When he died, it was hard for all of his fans to get a grip.
He died in a hospital not long after falling and breaking his hip.
It was twelve months ago when he passed away.
Sadly, we lost a talented actor one year ago today.

Saffron Spring
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Blooms bountiful on laughter lane
Purple peonies after raging rain
May melodies, sunshine songs
in emerald elms and garden green
A waking world, scents swirled
Saffron spring, scarlet ruby rose ~
Creamy clouds roam restlessly, slow.
Colorfall
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
stained
beauty
the sun is
descending fast
shadows reveal a
purple martin plunging
fluttering like the wind
drifting in sunshine
petals dance too

Forgotten Verse
by J. P. Ehlert
There is a verse I forgot to write.
It lingers in my mind.
Like a song unsung or bell unrung it waits—
Waits for my pen to give it life.

KEN ye aught o' Captain Grose?—Igo, and ago,
If he's amang his friends or foes?—Iram, coram, dago.
Is he to Abra'm's bosom gane?—Igo, and ago,
Or haudin Sarah by the wame?—Iram, coram dago.

Or drowned in the river Forth?—Iram, coram dago.

As for the deil, he daur na steer him.—Iram, coram, dago.

Leaf
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Red leaf
with the stars,
falling.
Maroon dusk
crawling.
Twirling last
dance!
Prettier, livelier
than ever
before.

butterscotch sun comes around
lavishing mellow yellows upon

Bloom

caught in gold
green life
burst
of hues
scenic views
flush blooms are there
