Dorothy (Alves) Holmes Poems

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

Spring dances and
Does cartwheels
In the rain
With such joy.
...

Ah, you pulled the ribbon
from my hair as I ran away,
laughing...
Your smile echoed beneath
...

A day to treasure
We run through green flowered fields
Leaving cares behind
...

Clouds blanket the sky
Silhouettes and shadows loom
Day embraces night
...

Hey World!
Stop!
Take a look at me (me! , me! , me! - said by each child individually)
We are your children,
...

A Full moon glowing
Serenading the night sky
Promises are made
...

He puts down his regular ax, his saxophone,
And begins to blast away on his shinny new thing,
Sopranio...
He closes his eyes, fingers flying and we start
...

Permeating the silky silence
Your laughter, reminding me
To listen to the soft voice of love...
You
...
