C R Clark Poems

Granddad couldn’t eat the crust
From Grandmother’s crispy cornbread
‘Cause Granddad didn’t have no teeth
And had to “gum” whatever he “et”
...

I love you
I love you, too
Do these terms mean the same?
I’m not sure they really do
...

At last, it’s here
Long awaited, anticipated
Dreamed about and planned for
And so meets two opposing emotions
...

Enveloped in a burning glow
By loves tenderest embrace
Passion’s blissful rendezvous
Nature’s lovely face
...

Grandma sang a special in Montgomery
In the church where her youngest preached the word
He turned the tape recorder on and caught it
And still today, my Grandma can be heard
...

To the company that supplies our uniforms
This letter is written to alert and inform
We don’t really like what you’ve gone and done
We liked things better like they used to run
...

This was originally written as a song

You don’t know if, you’ll have tomorrow
Or even if you’ll have tonight
...

The groundhog comes each evening
And forages on the lawn
Even though he doesn’t know it
I call him Dandy Don
...

Thru the glass of my perception
Looking back in spans of time
Beyond all that’s in my memory
Back before grandfather’s time
...

Poetry is the thoughts I have
I write them down for all to see
Some will like them, some will not
But, they all hold some import for me
...
