Four poems
1) “Pear” by yours truly
“Grow a pear!
Grow a pear!
Buyer beware
Because we are not referring to genitals.”
Pear not pair?
Pears can be lovely fruit.,
Hear the sound
2) “White Sky” by yours truly
White clouds all around.
Feel the wind.
Hear its sound.
A bit of grey
And some blue coming through.
You are what you are
And do what you do.
Be true.
3) “Weak/Strong” by yours truly
Weakness and strength
At this long length.
Sing to yourself in the holding cell,
A personal hell…or impersonal one.
“Can’t un-ring that bell.”
They call me weak, weak, weak.
They say the meek
Might inherit a birth.
4) “Estrange” by yours truly
Estrangement
Because of your derangement.
Our distance now won’t relent.
Not really heaven-sent.
Life now bent
And soon absent.
