Poems
Sep 2020
American Dream
I’m no longer
Allowed to dream
As the children did
Before the war
Cursed them with age and care
Firework nights and
Midsummer hammocks
Swaying in a sultry breeze
Have all been spent
On days doled out
To pilgrims who came
Before me
Swift now falls the hammer stroke
Too soon is spent the day;
Dreams burst forth, but wither soon,
That golden were,
But cannot not stay.
hello goodbye
