Doris Paul Poems

You may not favor Adonis -
With classic features so rare,
You may not resemble Venus
With face so radiantly fair;
...

For a little o'er a harrowing fortnight
Thirty-nine American hostages were held,
Innocent victims of Middle East Terrorists' planning:
Whose fate was chronicled to all the world, so well.
...

Eggs: yellow, pink, and amethyst,
A symbol of earth's Renaissance,
Set within the awaken'd womb;
Tulips: mauve and alabaster,
...
