Welcome to Stories & Reflections

These are a collection of my stories & poems. I started at a young age writing in the early 50's. They weren't up to any great standard, but I enjoyed writing and they have improved with age.

My first poem went:

Oh my darling, oh my dear,
I love you like a bottle of beer.
Even though you are a flop,
I'd go as far as drink Soda Pop.
Pretty profound, don't ya think? At least I knew Rhyme and meter. Or as my Aussie friend would say, Pitch & Time.

From time to time I will include poetry or a story that I really enjoy. Submit a poem or story to tink43@tcsn.net and if apropriate it will be include.

Don't forget to give an opinion...

Make sure you check your cinches...

Such Is Vanity


Such is Vanity

A poem by my granddaughter whoe's going to be famous

By Jasmine Martin

And would you trade your soul for gold?
A lasting price to pay
For a fleeting time to play.
Would you sell your soul for fame?
An endless masquerade
An everlasting pain.
Is it worth all this time
To live out a lie,
To try and hide who you are inside?
When age and beauty fade
All the colors that you crave,
Gold
Green
All grey,
What is it that you have gained?
