Poem  of  the  Week

Behold the Hawk

3/31/2020

0 Comments

 

The hawk surveys the grounds
with keen and focused eyes,
no movement will escape
attention; none will taunt
this feared and stoic shape.

The hawk surveys the grounds,
his kingdom, from the trees,
majestic wings await
a mouse or smaller bird
oblivious to fate.

The hawk surveys the grounds
as afternoon declines
the ravens' calls begin
a frantic chorus line,
his brothers closing in.

The hawk surveys the grounds,
his nest and mate nearby,
well past the harvest moon,
there is no time to waste
with winter coming soon.

Communing With Evening

3/24/2020

0 Comments

 

Summer eves and gentle breezes
plead for man the day's parole;
warmth of sunshine fades so slowly,
therapeutic to the soul.

Distant oranges and crimson,
shadows stretch out from the rise;
silhouettes of pines and saplings
offer respite to our eyes.

Leaving worries of the workplace
far behind as dusk sets in,
all forgiven are the hassles,
supervisors, our chagrin.

Having now communed with evening,
for tomorrow, not the same,
as the remonstrances stumble,
sees this night and what became.

Lost Hope

3/17/2020

0 Comments

 

Remembering the adage well,
with none to hear, the tree that fell 
had never made a sound.

I contemplate, with saddened eyes,
if hope was lost, would its demise
be missed by none around?

I used to dream of brighter days-
that always gave me wondrous ways
around what life would deal.

When one by one those issues took
the options from my future's book,
my fate seemed all too real.

With no attention paid to me
my hope had fallen, like that tree, 
in muted reticence.

The wall I built to keep the pain
from ever hurting me again
is now my lone defense.

Sorceress

​Sorceress is here,
practicing her cunning art,
living among us,
watching, with flaming red hair
and spider webs for stockings.

The Phenom

3/3/2020

0 Comments

 

The first out was routine, 
A grounder had occurred. 
A force at second base, 
The runners, first and third, 
"The phenom" now prepared 
To get a double-play, 
The catcher wagged a "two", 
A curve ball underway, 
The batter should have guessed 
That heat would not be sent, 
But though his timing's off, 
Trajectory was bent, 
The bat just clipped the ball, 
And fouled high into stands. 
So now the phenom thought, 
A fastball he'd command. 
Shook off the catcher's sign, 
One finger down and right, 
The phenom took a breath 
And threw with all his might, 
The ball flew fast inside, 
Made hitter's pull commit, 
He weakly tagged the ball 
Into the shortstop's mitt, 
Who turned and made the toss 
To second baseman's west, 
Avoiding runner's track, 
Collision was the quest, 
The throw went on to first, 
A laser beam was caught, 
The double-play complete, 
A win the phenom sought. 
The pastime might forget 
The pitch that made the day 
But not the crafty phenom 
Who filed it away.
