David Harris Poems

We look at life through different angles
trying always to get the best shot.
Some times the camera lens is dirty
and a fuzzy picture is all you get.
...

It often makes me wonder
why people do the things they do,
trying to make your life
miserable if they can.
...

For JoAnn
Who in conversation inspired this little ditty.

This is the Ballad of ‘Memo’ Roy
...

After a week of summer sun
February returned to normal.
Grey skies to the horizon
and a light falling rain.
...

Some of us are collectors
and collect almost anything.
Sometimes it becomes an obsession
to see what each day brings.
...

We get stuck in a routine
that is so filled with repetition.
In the end, you could do it
in a blind fold.
...

We are all performers
on a daily stage,
each of us having a part
to play the best we can
...

Wouldn’t it be a nice world
if we had no regrets
for the things we do,
but that is not the case,
...

Dear God, creator of everything
look down on us with kindness and affection.
Let us see the way to helping others
the way you have guided us to one another.

for a competition on the local radio.
The first one I wrote seemed to me OK,
and then my wife told me that it was too long.
