PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

THEY ALL LOVE YOU



Bees buzz  Horsies neigh. Cats meow. Donkeys bray.

Geese honk. Coyotes howl. Froggies croak. Sleepy bears

growl.

Mice squeak Heralds hark. Oceans whisper. Doggies bark.

Lightning crashes Fishie splashes. Ponds bubble. Larks warble.

Lions roar. Rains patter. Elephants trumpet. Monkeys chatter

Brooks babble. Pigeons coo. Ghosties boo. Cowsies moo.

Trees rustle. Thunder rumbles Bums whistle. Grumpy grumbles.

Piggies squeal Sparrows chirp. Pig mommies grunt. Pig daddies burp.

Loons croon. Chickens squawk Tigers grrrr. Kitties purr.

They were all saying, they told me today, ' we love you

very much' in their own special way.

STEVE GLEASON



Starlets' taxi driver

Author of "Valerie'

Loving and good father

Fighter for liberty.



Middle East expert

Eyes of bluegreen fire

Poetsoul of Isle of Eire

all saints' hagiography



No stars exist

where he ought to be

to outline his perfect form

No suggested symmetry

inside which to conform



He is unbounded joy

infinite space

He is living forever

He is love unlaced



He is Godward desire

Jesus' heart burning

Melted his yearning

In the father embraced





N AND M



If en and em make verbs from nouns

as in 'enjoy' and in 'embark'

and if love moves to verbs from

grounded nouns

as the rooted become winging larks

so N and M are synonyms for Lovers

... they are the first initials

of my mother



CRICKET CHOIRS



Cricket choirs

Concerts of toads

Solos by the nightingale

and the meadowlark



counterpointed by

the inexhaustible throat

in the song of the brook

and the bee's buzz

ambling through blooms amber



HITLER'S CONCERT



If Hitler heard concerts

and then waged war

the music pacific

was not with message

sufficiently specific



If a bombdropper writes poems

of sunrise skies amber

1 room in his cerebrum

speaks not to another

brain chamber

THE SEA IS WAVING



The sea is waving.

Is it a hello or a goodbye?

It is up to each to decide.



HIVE OF MY HEART



In the hive of my heart, unstolen from bees, is stored my

infinite love for you.



LOVE NOT FORCE



Love not force rides the free horse



SOUNDS OF MANY WATERS



Rain drumming on the roof

but softly dripping

from the leaves

Frozen snow

soundless drops

Quiet the great river

flows near the sea.



Over stones the singing

brook

the waterfall's

constant roar

The lapping of the

boat rocked lake

Waves doing omkar

to the shore



(Baba said the waves

are ever engaged in omkar

or the repetition of Om))



WEAVER OF LEAVES



Oh God who weaves

evaporating leaves

and knits the mist

into fluffy clouds

rain now where

mercy calls for You

*

DAWN FRAMES



Dawn frames the ebony sky of night with

a pink fringe

*

CALLA LILY



Lovely leelas for every calla lily

has the Lord of Light

while the wind sings lullabies

to each lilac.. every eve and night



SOUND OF THE SEA



in the conch the sound of the sea

and endless pears contained in pear seed

in the tidal pool are caught the stars

in the eyes the light of God

*

NIGHT OUTS THE STARS



Night outs the stars. Each falls in love with his

own light, realizing he need no other.



WRITE'



One was a gifted playwright

Another performed

priestly rites

A third worked for

the underclass' rights

A fourth did

letters to prisoners write.



(to the extended family of

Jean and Joan Wright)



TREE TIES



The more love roots

.. the more tree ties..

the less there is

need

for

frozen treaties.
