Danny Draper Poems

A little brown doe sat on a hill
In a sea of offspring,
Exchanging glances with her buck
Knowing of life and its fill,
...

Snuff the flame
dimly present
Rendered glimmer
against the night
...

Care, taken from her in silent peace,
Discarded, bliss spent, unloved dross;
Only one remedy heart’s ache can ease.
...

'Friend I'm great just ask me'
Obviously now that others appreciate superior talent,
Where higher intellect tethers eccentricity
Causing outmoded fair-weather friends empty egos,
...

Vista, vista, crystal sight
From the dwelling day or night,
What mortal leaf or frond
Could frame thy clear full imagery?
...

In day the breeze sieves through the leaves
In night unseen it slips between
Whistling a murmur in she oak scales,
Rustles each crown in the canopy lofty,
...

Goya watched
on Prado shadows
by groves of saplings
in early winters sun,
...

To give,
give gratis.
In return,
expect nothing.
...

She carries the light
From her sisters life,
Most trusted and solemn gift.
Contract without conditions
...

Ignorance
Propagates mistrust and suspicion,
Prejudice denies all hope of reason
Fear and bigotry are colluded,
...
