Della Perry Poems

Sixteen summers is not much time to fit a lot into a life
But you managed to with excellence.
Memorial words were so fitting
Life was not easy coming, difficult times had enthused,
...

On a mission, that I am, to right the wrongs that I see
To change the world, the evil I see
I can't do much, I can change that which is near.
I'll try to relay those old fears that I know so well.
...

The hospital has passed on to
Rubble and ruin, gone the clinical clean
Corridors and baby units,
No more children of the future proudly saying,
...

Today we had to bury the hamster
He was cold and stiff, the children cried
He was a lucky creature for he had been loved.
They prodded and poked him, he didn't revive
...

I am full of words
But I utter no sound.
I am full of meaning
But I do no deeds.
...

Sometimes I am you
But I don't move as you do.
Sometimes I am the beauty of nature,
Maybe the seaside or
...

You can look at me
But you won't see yourself.
You can look past me
Maybe see someone else.
...

The tiger crouches, hiding
In the long, dry
Grass, waiting for its prey to
Eventually capture it, eat it, before
...

Spinning delicate webs of lace
Planning each strand with care
Intercepting the unaware fly
Devouring its very soul
...

Plunder and pilfer
In the oceans and seas
Raging winds and storms
Await
...
