HappyThanksgiving

~ Harlan Didrickson

And there is

A day here

In America on

The last Thursday

In November when

The skies are

Grey and littered

With snow and

The wind blows

Cold against faces

That people carry

Pots dishes pans

Wine and desserts

Into friendly houses

To gather around

A table giving

Thanks for those

Most important things

The greatest of

Which are their

Families however that

Group is defined

A day of

Laughter and football

Of stories and

Old jokes of

Belly busting feasts

Here in America

Today is Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to

My friends and

Family I’m thinking

Of you all

SomethingILost

~ Harlan Didrickson

I’d like to

Know you but

No knowing you

Leads to knew

You I’d like

To think of

You but thinking

You leads to

Thought you I’d

Like to like

You but liking

You requires knowing

And thinking which

For me eventually

Leads to love

Then had loved

Maybe nothing is

Better than the

Something I lost

Don’tDespair

~ Harlan Didrickson

The world has

Failed to be

A safe place

It’s innocence lost

Replaced instead with

Selfishness and despair

A barren place

Occupied by the

Damned who wander

Aimlessly ignorantly and

Painfully absent of

Even fond memories

Husks of what

They once were

Simply coldly forgotten

Content instead of

Heaping noxious travesties

Designed to fuel

Their flames of

Hopelessness upon the

Living that have

Barricaded themselves behind

The ever eroding

Walls of hope

Fear not being

One of the

Damned for those

Devastated souls do

Not read poetry

Proposal110311

~ Harlan Didrickson

If it had

Been up to

Me I’d never

Had picked you

Not because you’re

Not good enough

But because I’m

Not good enough

But oh when

I saw you

You’re all that

I ever saw

Not just with

My eyes but

With my heart

That’s why I

Want to ask

You this question

Please marry me

WantsNeeds (for Melkwan)

~ Harlan Didrickson

Recognizing wants isn’t

Enough giving to

Those that ask

Isn’t either for

Most ask for

What they want

Ignoring their needs

Generosity is temporary

Kindness on the

Other hand speaks

The language of

Love cutting through

The selfishness of

Wants be kind

To someone who

Expects nothing and

Fill their needs

Silently without fanfare

This is godliness
