Premium Member Dutch Hill Park
I took a walk down Columbia Street
Back to the place where we used to meet
Where we played as kids until after dark
And hung out together up at Dutch Hill Park
Although alone, I could hear the sound
Of laughter coming from the merry go round
Sometimes we'd meet...

Knot much

Head tossed
Git lost

Left swift

Ewe're tight
Good nite...

Premium Member Dutch Wedding Day Dessert
Many many years ago
When I was very small
We attended a wedding in Amsterdam
This memory I recall

Jan and Astrid had got married
Balloons decorated the wedding hall
Wedding favours were scattered on the table …
Sugared almonds, I could have eaten them all!

The wedding breakfast was served
We had all...

Dutch Girl
Dutch Girl
By Rick Rucker

Was the Sky always this Blue?
Or just since I met You?

And the Grass, is it the standard Green?
Have I always felt this Serene?

The reason that I don’t know:
I can’t remember that long ago!

You have cleared my memory slate,
Not a memory, ‘fore our...

The Dutch Is My Father
When still a child
I learned that plantation colony was belonging 
to my father, the one who brought my mother 
from the Dutch East Indies,
and the one whom he loved full in rage.

I was a small *****, beautiful, fat, and disabled,
helping her as far as the...

Good Friday Gratitude To Settlers: Especially British and Dutch
Good Friday Gratitude to Settlers
Columbus gave it lip service
He loved the Virgin Mary
Almost knew Jesus Christ
Could not have had the Holy Spirit Fire

Today, or any hour of night and day,
Brian Houston’s Ministry covers the Globe
With youth singing out heart and soul
To Christ, though disguised in...

Double Dutch
During the past weeks I’ve been having mental leaks,
Over situations
Can’t force anyone to eat,
I even had to question my manhood
It was too easy for me to weep,
Struggling with extreme discomfort
It’s like having sores under my feet.

Tried very hard but the willingness couldn’t meet,
And now I’m...

Did Call Pennsylvania Dutch
Did Call Pennsylvania Dutch

When old while walking needed crutch
And in every room could see a hutch;
Bridges going over water
With walls on long border;
So did call all of them Pennsylvania Dutch.

Trump loves building borders
and boxing all of us in....

Dutch Whispers At Midnight
Sheltered beneath her veil of tears,
Amsterdam calls to my heart.
She follows me
through golden dreams and opiate sleep
to tempt me away from the true path in.
She is the wind on the water
filling my sails
with a quiver as soft as a sigh.
For no words
were ever quite so...

Dutch Treat
You want equality so our dates are going to be Dutch Treat.
When we go to restaurants, you will pay for what you eat.
When we go to the movie theater, you will pay for your popcorn and movie ticket.
If you don't like having to spend your...

Dutch Hospitality
In the city of Hoorn,
On a cobblestone street,
We were taken as guests
So some locals we'd meet.

It was charming, the house,
And the ceilings did soar;
There were children and cats
But much more was in store.

For the hostess' dad
Brought us each out, with pride,
Quite a big slab of...
