Poetry Collection

I have always enjoyed the poetry of Carl Sandburg and Pablo Neruda.  Over the past many years, I have written a few poems.  Most are pretty sappy.  The last one was inspired by reading Edgar Allan Poe.  Here are two of them...

I SELDOM SAY I LOVE YOU

I seldom say I love you

It’s such an easy thing to say.

Especially when we’re warm and tender

And the world’s so far away.

Three short and simple words

That people say so fast.

No, I’d rather show my love

In ways that‘ll always last.

I’ll tell you that I love you

By the way I hold your hand

And the way I hold you close to me

As we walk along the sand.

And you’ll always know I love you

By the way I treat you

The way I hold you

And the way I care for you.

So when we’re sitting quietly

And those words you’d wish I’d say,

Remember that I’ve said them to you

In a thousand different ways.

 I HATE YOU CLOCK...

I hate you clock

quiet and slow

It's as if you know

the time I must go

You seem to know

when I must die

You hold the knowledge

I wish had I

Yet how can a clock

made of springs and gears

Know something

that won't happen for years.

 

I hate you clo.....................
