About Helen George
I share my home with eight cats. They are great companions and I love them very much. I have a deep love for all animals and do what I can to help them. All eight of my cats were strays brought home from where I previously worked. Most were tame but two were feral cats caught in a humane trap and they are still a bit afraid of people including me. But they let me pet them once in a while.
My interests are poetry, the internet, crossword puzzles, and reading. I have dabbled a little bit at poetry when younger, mainly for friends and family. I have only begun to work at it seriously since May 2008. I do enjoy it and find it a great pastime.
None of my poetry has yet been published.
Helen F. George's Written Works
Beyond The Horizon
The open road beckons and bids to you only,
To drop what you're doing and move beyond,
The road silently forges a very strong bond.
You might stay for a while in a nice little town,
But before too long, you start to look around,
In the distance, the horizon is pulling you in,
And ere long, you answer the call once again.
Old now and tired, you wish you could stop,
Becoming so weary you think you might drop,
But once you've rested up, it happens on… Continue

Musing
Watching the clouds as they drifted by,
Content and happy, no cares have I,
Just passing the time as my thoughts go awry.
Looking for shapes as I did when a child,
Look, there's a pony running and wild,
And that's a pirate, with the ghost of a smile,
Now a tiny babe who might stay for awhile.
And, so, the time passes as I rest for a spell,
It's quiet and peaceful here in the dell,
Then, in the distance, I hear a church bell,
And I stir for I know I should… Continue

The Bald Eagle
Watching for prey as he silently glides,
To watch him from yonder is such a delight,
As he cruises on high, resplendent in flight.
His beak is sharp, his eyesight keen,
With wings tilted down, he slowly careens,
Drifting aloft in an azure-blue sky,
In fluid motion, he passes on by.
A joy to behold whether flying or still,
A creature of God, his majesty thrills,
With freedom and joy may he always abide,
America's emblem of honor and pride.

The Tornado
That comes down from the sky,
When God's wrath is felt by all
And many souls must die.
You are but a child, my mother said,
God won't take you today,
She took my hand, to the shelter we ran,
And I heard my mother pray.
Soon her prayers were answered
For the howling winds took rest,
Mother cried and said we are safe
As I gratefully clung to her breast.

The Wonder Of The Woods
Listening to birds as they sing their sweet song,
Peering about for any creatures who might stir,
Watching them scuttle, passing by in a blur.
The sweet, heady scent of the honeysuckle vine
Drifts through the air, draws me in like sweet wine,
While quiet surrounds me, so tranquil and calm,
Bringing comfort and peace like a soothing balm.
In a cool, shady glen, moss and lichens grow,
And that old hollow log has mushrooms below,
Older trees standing… Continue
