Bill Grace Poems

From half a continent away
The confirming call comes
That my old friend's great friend is gone.
...

The parade of customers into the store,
6: 00 AM start - requiring a 5: 00 AM position
Tell of economics 101 not changing much
Unlimited wants and limited means
...

The great bird does not think about thermals
The enormous wing span gliding through the sky
The updraft is known and trusted
There is no basis for speculation
...

With dog and gun, uniform and Bible
I'm not the ideal man
He came to us long ago
Folks then didn't find him so
...

In an economic analysis
endorsed by absolutely no one
not even my wife or dog or cats
I have discovered that the Covid virus
...

We must stay away from each other
the cost of violation could be our earthly life
what a time to find a personal poet who speaks to us
a soul that will help ease the current strife.
...
