Bill Grace Poems

With age sometimes comes an appreciation for beauty
So I feel free to grieve for my neighbor's door
That was assassinated by a wanton kid with drooping drawers
Who cared nothing about the beauty of cut and fashioned glass
...

Those who have no name
Can in heart's memory be inscribed
The issue is not even a name
Than the center from which all else came.
...

I have it on report I trust
That the Admiral on at least one occasion did not wear his rank
But even in an anonymous flight suit he held command.
(This story is from the greater family
...

The critter came and stole my cookies
The evidence of bag was left behind
A matter of no little spine
Given the closeness to the house
...

The picture in the ad lures me in
A thirteen mile drive it is a sin
To learn the picture is a lie
A truth I learn only when I spy
...

We were glad when the young royals wed
For one third of our planet’s minds sped
To a time when life was dream
When we thought we were the cream
...

Let the public hold their din
No acceleration of bin Laden’s sin
We have Mussolini over a tar pit
For all who will work to see
...

Policy and truth these two abide
Best to know which one is on your side
Which one you feel is worthy of the fight
Which one from which sometimes you must take flight.
...

The call comes and informs of death
It is not the first time
The great democrat has visited
A century of life insured the invitation.
...

Trash red and white
Red for recycle
White the martyr's color
For that which truly has no use
...
