Bill Grace Poems

In the great writing project
During the great freeze some would call writer`s block
Bob Kimball broke the ice with his advice
That enabled a river of words to flow:
...

Those who extend themselves in small things
Almost never own the heights
Are regarded as a common sight
Yet in small things of love they live
...

No one in our family ever touched his hand
Yet reading holds many treasures
Given only for the price of time
So Albert Schweitzer can touch
...

We thought mistakenly it was a Russian Blue
This misconception gave value to her too
A stray cat to kitty transformation
Despite understanding the white spot more
...

No one in my family ever touched his hand
Yet reading holds many treasures
Given for the price of time
So Albert Schweitzer's life has touched mine.
...

Even in training the sound stops you
A mechanical grunt as on line they thrust forward
The young armed with batons sanctioned by authority
Like fencers practicing the forward thrust
...

I was acceptable to the defence
But not the prosecution
Which in this particular case
Needed a light switch
...

Quiet house
Clock clicks
Dog sighs
Cat snores
...

Life deals cards
One of the worst is the hole in the heart
If you discard a heart of hardness
You may pick up a hole in the heart
...

Sometimes just day in and day out
Leaves very little about which to shout.
The ordinariness which is our days
May be the tribute to that something
...
