Dorothy (Alves) Holmes Poems

Let's go to the Hop!
Yelled the Jelly-Belly Blue Grass Band.

The dance floor was soon crowded with
...

Fringes of summer
Linger clinging to fall's new
Translucent blanket
...

You there,
Standing so idly by,
Hurry now!
Grab your pallet of colors,
...

I have pulled the shades
To the windows of my heart,
No light seeps in...
It is cold and dark
...

If only we had met yesterday
When love was new to both of us
And untarnished...
And dreams fashioned by hope and laughter
...

Yesterday's lover,
Today's heartache,
Filled with woe!
...

I am out of here
Hate invades this poetry site
Rotten apples spoil!
...

always bridge to cross
in quiet moments of life
reflect on choices
...

I told the blue jay
I saw yesterday about
Your gentle touch.
I told the flowers dancing
...

A day of sunny meadows -
We wandered through
The maze of desire
Looking for love
...
