Poems
Jul 2019
Paperback one day?
Firmly seated into the spine-
Hundreds and hundreds...
Pages of my words for eyes to dine-
To fall asleep with while reading in bed.
Book form one day ?
Not for money, not for gain-
Not for "I told you so's" to say
Not for notoriety and not for fame.
For my children !
A piddly royalty check without fuss-
For my grandchildren
"Oh Look,
Pops - Poppa is still giving to us" with smiling faces.
A legacy of my words-
Days of great and jubilant times-
As if I were flying high with the birds-
And the nights where I struggled for reason and rhyme.
I won't mind being gone, you see-
I just don't want to be forgotten....
I'd just love if one of my poems could help someone see a bit more clearly-
The bite of their apple was a bit less rotten.
So, paperback I hope for one day-
I'd like this for so many reasons-
Not one of them is for the pay-
But, just to be a book on your nightstand for one....
heck,
for all seasons.
"What was he thinking while inking this write" ?
"Was he down by where the land meets the sea" ?
"Was he at the Hospice garden where he took great delight" ?
"What was David/Pops/Poppa thinking when he wrote this.....
was he
thinking of me ?
