Colette Dright Poems

Love is Love -
I have heard people say, 'I love you.'
I've heard, 'I love you a lil, I love you a lot.'
I've also heard, I love you too much, this much, so much, very much.
...

Thanks for making us tough, ever so rough

Black in the Day, Black in today
They still do us harm when caught unarmed
...

Here comes the snow, oh how beautiful, white and fluffy are the flakes as they fall from the sky. Not used to seeing this twice within a month's time frame, yet still amazed by its beauty once again.

What? A snowstorm… noooo, not that much snow. But here it is, the icy, slippery, frozen roads, frozen cars and no greenery in sight.
No green trees, or green grass, no green leaves, no cars to pass.
...

People find 150 million thousand reasons to go to Walmart… me too.

Sometimes, I just go just to go and at times I find myself going because I want to, not because I need to.
...

Why should you miss me?
When I was there were you aware?
Aware that I exist or was I someone you chose to dis?
Dismiss from your sight and out of your space
...

Yes, the government was unprepared
Brushed it off and didn't care
Dropped the ball, was slow to act
They knew ahead and that's a fact
...

Alright listen, when it comes to relationships and marriages
There are NO rules and do's
There is a way to win, yet you choose the way to lose
...

The caterpillar she crawls around and around
Wondering when he'll come home to lay his head down
She cooked and cleaned and is awaiting for he
But there with his caterpillar, he'd rather not be
...

...

Birds are free
Free to laugh, free to cry
Free to leave with no good-byes
Free to spread their wings so high
