Casey Jarrell Poems

In the desert night,
there lies a joey within its mother's sight.
It lies beside her in the desert grass,
taking a well needed nap for this younger lass.
...

The tears that hurt so much overflow in the nightly depths of the sea.
But as I stretch my hand across the glass surface of the water, light reaches them.
The only things I can see can only hear my voice.
Realize the fact that it's not everything.
...

Without even a sound, all of the colors change.
It is so clear in the blue sky throughout the day.
I love it when the shines on my face.
I'll have my friends with me,
...

Seven rainbow jewels bonded together,
and created a crystal as light as a
feather.
...

Emissary of wind,
emissary of air,
gather here in this very
layer.
...

Follow the air.
Follow the wind.
Release what you have sinned.
...

The light of the winter
rose
is so bright that you
could see it through my
...

Bring in the old.
Bring in the new.
You're as friendly as Mrs. Barbara
Sue.
...

In this night and in this hour,
I will reveal my
secret power.
...

Rising from the earth
and into the air,
I open my wings to
fly through the air.
...
