Della Perry Poems

A wolf lies in wait
Within everyone
Lurking, prowling,
Instincts alive, alert.
...

Love hugger
Sweet giver
Film watcher
Flower lover
...

Breakfast maker
Tea stirrer
Bed maker
Room tidier
...

Lawn trimmer
Tv watcher
Football player
Monopoly winner
...

The X marked the spot
Forty paces from the tree
The heat was really hot
The island, Willy and me.
...

Cut-Throat Jack was a nasty crook,
He never did anything by the book!
He pinched and plundered, bold as brass,
He was shameless and brazen with his cutlass.
...

The black horse will be waiting for me
Below the damson tree,
The day will flow into evening,
Dusk will fall over the living.
...

Cup of tea,
Chai,
Green,
Earl grey,
...

The same animal print cushions lay on the couch,
The same hound reclines beside the patio door,
The same laughter of children echoes around the house,
The same wood-pigeon couple sit on the window ledge,
...
