Uncle Joe He never spoke Of the war In little bits and pieces From army buddies We knew that he had Fought on the front lines That is all we knew He never mouthed A word in sixty two years So it came as quite a surprise The day I sat with him In the hospital lounge Waiting for his wife To come through surgery Out of the blue...

My Heart's Anna She was three weeks shy Of her third birthday When they brought her to me Beautiful, sweet, little, Anna With lovely, blond hair Crystal-blue eyes And her angelic smile She couldn't speak She couldn't hear But her fingers knew The language And in the weeks to follow She taught me silent words Her gripping hug...

Expressions of Endearment He said love would wait He was wrong He made it through the wilderness Somehow, he made it through Not knowing how lost he was Groans and faded memories Ring in his ears Spinning wild passed his eyes Scattered though his life He played a beautiful tune Then turned it into a pleading song Fall in lov...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: The magic of my pen: 1 of 20
