David Harris Poems

Have you ever woken in the night
with a white figure approaching you?
You give out a short scream
thinking you’ve seen a ghost
...

The secret of my success
is that I’m as crazy as a coot.
I am so full of silliness
my wife often denies she is with me.
...

People often wonder why
I write a lot of sad poetry
for when they meet me
I seem a happy-go-lucky guy.
...

The mist moved across the field
swallowing up everything in its path.
A white blanket that hovered
inches above the ground.
...

The river of life runs long and narrow
with twists and turns here and there.
Sometimes it hits rapids,
sometimes it hit’s a falls,
...

For JoAnn and Meggie

There are two young ladies
I think of as my best friends.
...

Started out this morning
feeling mighty glum,
late to work, everything went wrong.
Thought the day would never end.
...

Sometimes we get in hot water
over things we say inadvertently.
You’ll say something with a double meaning
and you can bet your bottom dollar
...

I am nasty and rotten to the core
they didn’t call me dodgy for nothing.
I run about and shout a lot;
recently I took lessons on how to be a bitch,
...

Every picture tells a story
whether it be a painting or photograph.
If you look hard enough
you’ll see what it says.
...
