Poetry Corner February 2007

Cityscape

Hustled and bustled,
Still, hands only put to heart,
Beings, only art.

Leaf

A raindrop forms
In love's eye.
Joy, sadness, let go.

YOU CAN

Talk the talk, walk the walk, and even
Be the be, but, if you don't vote the vote, You won't ever be livin' in a democracy!

So

You, a joyous lake.
Me, a mountain underground,
Which, you fill and
Holds you always.
Within and without us,
Is this love.
