In honor of National Poetry Month I am going to post some of my poems. Nothing new really, just some I think are pretty good from my archives. Let me know what you think!
damply drips the sun
winding its way down
through drops of shifted light
trying vainly to reach earth
most of its heat spent
plops to the ground, with
sodden despair
hazing my eyes
like death’s laid claim
but hasn’t quite put out the lights
dark shadows turn
from monsters into cars
as they emerge
every breath
a small drowning
wading through the fog
