Billy Loving Poems

Standing in the lake
Patiently waiting for fish,
Spear suddenly strikes
Overwhelmed with elation
...

At the bar I sit
Workday trying to forget
Each day I arrive
In this madness, trying to survive
...

As I journey on my way
A few words I stop to say
Solemn face, usual clothes
Quietly, we say our hellos
...

Sunbeam emerges
From behind the cloudy sky
Starting to recede
Replacing my maudlin mood
...

Locked within his cage
Sadly looking back at me
Tail starting to wag
I release him from his cage
...

Jumping from behind
The oak tree as I approach
A grinning small boy
Startled, suddenly flinching
...

Sound of a gun
As I lie there in the sun
Taking cover before damage done
Battle just begun
...
