Download or read book Tall Tales for Tired Times written by David Lewis Paget and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-12-14 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once again this teller of tales has assembled a collection, and what a collection! Included here is his 1,000th Poem entitled 'The Terror', a look back into childhood paranoia. But there is humour here as well, and riveting scenes of horror that will make your hair stand on end, (if you have any left, which he doesn't). There are sixty-four different scenarios here that will keep your imagination titivated, and your heart perpetually halted in expectation of the worst that can happen, only to discover he has fooled you yet again. It is the twist in his endings that readers have come to love and anticipate, and the driving rhythms that force each story along to its eventual conclusion. Oh yes, this is poetry at its finest, rhyme, metre, all executed with a nonchalance that makes the reader smile in approbation. It would be advisable to read only one poem per night, but of course, you won't be able to, because once begun on that dark ride, you will find yourself pushing on inevitably to the end. Enjoy!

Download or read book Goblin Dell written by David Lewis Paget and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-01-06 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to Goblin Dell, the repository for yet another collection of narrative poems from my pen, the thirteenth. Within this colourful Dell are the imaginative streams of an alternative world, a world that we all visualise at times if only to escape the one we're in. This new world of ours doesn't adhere to the physical laws, rules and regulations that presently bind us. It transcends all that, being beholden only to the limits of our imaginations, taking us to distant countries and landscapes where we may meet the strange and untrammelled denizens of these regions without suffering their infections, or paying the price for their incapacities. Though they will fill your eyes and mind with the temporary shock of amazement, you will still be able to part from them, and find your way home, this I promise you. But I won't promise that you will get this book back if you lend it out....

Download or read book Tall Tales and Short Stories written by Chimp Robertson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-04-23 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: His younger brothers and sisters were in shock. BEN ROBERTSON, fifteen, son of a South Texas share-cropper and with dreams of being a cowboy, started walking toward town. He climbed in a boxcar and rode three days and nights to Channing, Texas where his older brother, FRED ROBERTSON, was working on a ranch. Fred got him a job and Ben spent the rest of his life, mostly horseback. Four years later, his younger brother, ALTON ROBERTSON, also fifteen, walked that same dusty road with the smaller kids running along behind, pulling on his sleeve and begging him to come back. But, he climbed into a boxcar, riding day and night with no food or water, and hopped off in Channing, just as Ben had done. He caught a ride with a supply wagon out to the ranch where Fred and Ben were working and they got him a job. His childhood was spent riding rough horses, rounding up cattle, branding, shipping, and sleeping on the ground. Alton and Ben learned the cowboy life the hard way, by experience. Life on big Texas ranches in the twentys was hard. Long days in the saddle for weeks at a time caused many a cowboy to look toward the horizon, in the direction of some small town where occasional Saturday night dances were held. Alton and Ben made many of those rough-house dances where pretty girls were scarce and fights were common and they never turned down either, the pretty girls or the fights. Bucking horses, runaway horses, wild horses, and lots of good horses, Alton learned the cowboy way just as many other young men had done before him. Ride those bucking horses or draw your pay and hike back to town. As time passed, he found a sweetheart, got married, lived in a one room shack without the benefit of electricity, plumbing or running water, raised a family, and served his country in the US Army. Later in life, Alton owned a wind mill rig with Ben, broke horses, worked at the sale barn in Dalhart, Texas, purchased a tough bar in Lawton, Oklahoma from his brother-in-law, EMERY COWLEY, and eventually bought a good grass ranch in the northwest Arkansas town of Green Forest. He settled down there for the reminder of his life, running a small cow herd, helping his neighbors, and meeting the three best friends of his life, CLAY THARP, and his brothers, Claude, Clell, and Clinton. The lives of true cowboys are colored into this account of four generations of a family that lived, enjoyed and overcame the hardships of working on the ranges of Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma. It is compiled for the appreciation of all who have been cowboys or have ancestors whose lives were enriched by cowboy life. This book opens the corral gate beckoning to the young ones who feel the calling to live in an honorable, hard-working and determined commitment to life that few find nowadays. Enjoy the hardscrabble humor, sweat and endurance of those who have preceded us in this great adventure of the American West. Chimp Robertson

Download or read book The Widow of Martin Black written by David Lewis Paget and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-07 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edgar Allan Poe is considered by many to be the premier writer of the macabre, both in story and in poetry. Yet it is my pleasure to introduce to you the man who continues where Poe left off. David Lewis Paget is an accomplished Australian Poet. His narrative poems are of such high quality both in rhyme and meter that there are few his equal. Over the past forty years or more, David Lewis Paget has honed his skill as a Narrative Poet to such a degree that his ability to scare and yet also touch the heart are as sharp as any knife. I became acquainted with David's writings only a year ago while searching for a good volume of poems to read during October, and was considering more of Edgar Allan Poe's work when a copy of "The Devil on the Tree & Other Poems of Dysfunction" appeared on the internet. I took a chance on it, read it in one sitting, cover to cover, and found myself chilled to the bone. Read this one for yourself, and see. (Keith A. Fowler)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story of how fate determines the life we lead, but with either kindness or cruelty. Although deserts, forests and oceans separated Eddie Fraser, an Australian man, and Tina Morris, a Scottish girl, their lives were destined to entwine. Without the least knowledge of each other’s lives or even the wish to know, they were joined together in a marriage that, since Eddie’s work as a sailor on a merchant ship kept them apart for long periods of time, couldn’t possibly work. Or could it? Against all odds posed by Tina’s poor health, she gave birth to three children, Maggie, Billy and Eve. And then the first world war, the great war devastated many lives, including Eddie and Tina’s. This is the retelling of how envy and greed for another’s life, love and wealth can dictate and corrupt a mind without conscience or pity. James Coutts, a man of high standing in a community of mill workers, and his obnoxious daughter, Millicent, enter Tina’s life with devastating consequences. From that point onwards, this story becomes one of horror and treachery. The now grown-up Maggie enters into a battle of wits that only one can win.
