I lead, huh? Okay, but you asked for it ..

I've never taken the point before
One wonders why I was picked.
Was it because of a hot streak
Or merely because I was tricked?

It's lonely out here, in front of the pack
But at least my view gets to change
Starting won't hurt me, or so I am told
By those who are further downrange.

So lead off I must, and lead off I will
On a brand-new poetry thread
Of romance and lost love and things of the heart
Having lost them, all items I dread

But hope springs eternal, as night comes again
Dreamcatcher, don't fail me this time
For sleep and the dream world are dear to me now
For one who knows, here is my rhyme.

[SAMWolf]

I envy those who have the time
to sit right down and write a rhyme

if I get unbusy, then you'll see
that Wolves can write some poetry

but until all my chores are through
this is just going to have to do

My Dragon Fly and I we know
of heart ache and soul ache
of dark days and sooo lonely nights
nightmare alley in shadow deep
walking in the valley of dread
of losing comfort
in your skin
knowing you are hollow again
and will walk the narrow paths
alone and drink your dinner
on the phone
starting to ring
a number you know no one is home.

Yes, The Dragon Fly knows
the pain of never coming home again
of welcome words and loving hugs
and drinking tea with me at three...
All that's left is the ceremony of
lighting candles for you
and remembering when we were two.

Somehow I am at Point
Boy to man with anoint

Watching the brave move through sands
Through daunting hostile foreign lands
Daring to fill a Nation's demands

Those little boys with such heart
Insuring us all that we can start

Safe and secure every day

What else can I say
