Three Poems
Accepted by: Gerry Fabian Harvest Sun Dial Sweat stained shirts on the wash line still holding the grime and grease that imbeds like the 6:00 am to 8:00 pm hard harvest hours when the window of waste weathers without warning. Avoiding Hunger I am turtle slow paced and fox dumb. Each time I am given anger I out smile it with patience. I learn more about myself with the concept of fun. Bad days are for learning; good days are for teaching. I love more; complain less. I stumble with new ideas instead of sleeping with old ones. I sing songs to dispel doom and hold hands with tomorrow. Visage Glimpses I see the reflection just slightly distorted backward in the glass, near the fountain’s pool of water, and shining on the steel building. It is all I have. so near to see - so far to touch. Fingers ache way before arthritic age. My eyes betray my heart. |
