the seal song

poetry

for Randy

The cry of a man

Amidst the laughing kids

Alas, the seal song.

not the usual “bad weed” stench on my block tonight

poetry

Overdue sweet smells-

Lylac and budding tree leaves

Refresh Kensington.

the new drink of champions

poetry

A.C.V. mornings-

More precisely lack thereof

Run the ship aground.

smell the glove

Dewy grass, sunrise,

the swirling echoes plodding-

My brothers’ feet.

Fresh Cut Grass

Some allergies’ bane

Takes me back to the ballpark-

Whiff the fresh cut grass

Seattle, PA

Drinking drop by drop

Future beds take a big gulp…

Seattle, PA.

Phunky Weather

Spring stole Summer’s day

And Autumn has her vengeance,

Now we all have colds.

keeping vigil

Far footsteps falling

Play cat and mouse with silence

Whilst the candles burn.

i prefer the river

Beside still waters,

Not just the kind on canvass

But storms we can’t calm.

warmer times once existed

Sticky little red rocks,

Hana’s parting gifts to us

Hidden in our shoes.

the schuylkill, almost frozen over

Large, icy circles

Feign a sense of cleanliness

Down Dirty River.

“snow”?

I love olympics…

Like how much it snowed back home

To one-up others.

Moments are phasing

Between hot and cold,

Pressure escaping

forgotten utterances

A page drfiting by

Maybe even a love note

Urban tumbleweed.

A leak in the hull.

It’s dripping is heard louder

Than roars of the sea

au wiedersehen

Stormed shadows crawling

Across nearly frosted lawns,

The passage of time.

Autumn approaches.

sometimes putting my kids to bed sucks

My heart beating fast

And my voice about to raise-

Released in a *sigh*

pulling can be fun

Hips turn and lock in

Sending hide well overhead

Bounding fielders

August 30, 2008 Joshua Grace Leave a comment

Midnight in strange woods

poetry

Rules can be bent

Crossing bridges over streams.

Our eyes will adjust
