Poem of the Day 10/12/20

The gentle tapping Of the rain on the rooftop As I lie, holding you

Poem of the Day 10/8/20

Mars, shining orange, Like a lone Christmas tree light, Hanging beside the moon

Sitting in my car Drinking coffee and watching the streets fill with life

Listening to songs About going home, on the highway, And singing along

Under the grey sky, The city street stained with rain- Empty and quiet

The calla lilies Like Champagne flutes of velvet Rest in their glass vase

In the evening haze, The sun glows orange, hanging Over the outfield fence

Driving past strip malls, After the morning rush hour, Windows down- a cool breeze

Your quiet breathing Is the only sound I hear As I lie awake

Under the tower lights kids scattered over the ball field- An emerald of grass
