C R Clark Poems

Ain’t we got a good thing going, honey
Ain’t we, ain’t we baby
Ain’t we got a fine little pair of young, uns
Ain’t we, ain’t we baby
...

Ah, to lounge on a tin roof porch
As a slow, cool summer rain
Washes away the gathered dust
That seems to cover everything
...

Heads that shine are “oh so fine”
And mostly trouble free
No hair to fly when wind is high
They’re always slick and neat
...

The first cool breath of autumn
Is a balm of sweet delight
Refreshing all it touches
In the day and through the night
...

Flying low over stumps and rocks
Dodging people and trees
Mighty “Jug” mans the wheel
Of his infamous speed machine
...

The Aura of the campfire
Is magical indeed
As friends encircled in the glow
Recount their daily deeds
...

A cool Thanksgiving afternoon
Cousins, at grandpa’s, hard at play
Parents, all visiting, on the porch
The sun shone bright, a bluebird day
...

When I’m lost and feeling lonely
And I think that no one cares
When the day closes in around me
And my eyes well up with tears
...

Everything is turning green
Spring is just around the bend
Birds are singing everywhere
And Sonya’s got a cold
...

I was standing by the river
Gazing to the other side
The grass appeared much, greener there
The sun, much brighter, shined
...
