July 2017 Poems

Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July,
From a Baby Boomer,
From a survivor.

I survived
Childhood 4th of July's
Full of Roman candles,
Cherrie bombs,
Barbecues that went awry,
Etc.

Happy 4th of July,
From a Baby Boomer Survivor.

Summer

Las Vegas summer
Triple digit temperatures
Into the wee hours

Listen to the Nightingale: A Poem

Listen to the voice of the Nightingale,
Singing in the Garden of Paradise
Inviting God's lovers
To enter through the Gate,
Which stands open
To all who hear the trumpet proclaiming
A New Heaven and Earth.

Midweek Reflections: Writing Poetry – A Poem

It is Wednesday,
And I'm writing poetry
Dedicated to the Blessed Beauty.

Each day my prayers are answered
Either with another idea
Or a completed poem.

As of today
At 5:01 PM
Pacific Daylight Time,
I have 65 poems planned
And approximately 40 completed.

By sunset on Sunday,
October 22, 2017,
I plan to have
Two hundred poems completed.
