Barry Middleton Poems

I once held a dream
called green ice cream
the queen.
...

Did you ever meet a thought shaper?
They plant a seed and make you think.
They subtly debate till a light comes on
and some new thought you call your own
...

sandhill crane
strutting your stuff
in the parking lot
...

So far away, you are my love,
yet I can never hear your voice.
Beyond my walls and lost in time,
I still cannot revoke your choice.
...

If there was just a lost and found
where we could go when feeling down,

there we might regain our youth,
...

the high diver
stands at great height
and pauses
to make sure he's right
...

The hint of life in spring,
the newest buds
that died all winter long,
must have thought
...

some get lost in a place
some get lost in the race
and some will get lost
while out there in space
...

children ask questions
but when we grow old
we have all the answers
or so I was told
...
