Bill Grace Poems

The world:
held its breath
prayers saluted many hands that helped
mourned for The Seal who was lost.
...

When at the Empire State Military Academy (ESMA)
I stood in ranks under summer sun
sweat pouring down my back
for what felt like three hours.
...

The challenge for our new President
Is to see beyond bad theology.
Especially our visual ones,
To think problems through to a third level,
...

The trouble with writing poetry
is you never know when or how it will strike.
It's demands are such
it does not care if your fires grow cold.
...

Poetry and coffee
These two exist
All else the world's great dross.
...

Although the poet's sing against the dark
death's power is far too stark
and we can only live the day
and with out harm to others
...

Failed consultation with a King
Helping Israel to birth.
Fireside chats for a nation.
Hitler, Jesus and Isaiha
...

These molten words will change but Disneyland will always be divine
This Kingdom Khrushchev could not enter
A great magnet for older wallets and youthful minds
And entertainment some find sublime.
...
