Dorothy (Alves) Holmes Poems

They refuse
To fall
Locked here
In my granite heart
...

Super moon last night
Spring waits in wings for nature
To raise new curtain
...

I peered at him with watchful eye.
A grimace distorted his youthfuness;
Though the air was warm,
I felt a chill as he stepped, cautiously,
...

Silent is the moon on the sea
Silent the stars dance so free!
Silent are your words to me!
...

My garden had
A different look
When summer
Opened her book
...

sun dries soggy leaves,
in crisp dress they do cartwheels
across the highway
...

pale moon serenades,
those lost in its elegance;
promises are made
...

A moment of desire

Plummets into the abyss
...

A diamond for your smile,
A rainbow for your kiss,
Spices for your dreams for surrender in your arms I can't resist.
The sun, moon and star I'd give, if they belonged to me,
...

Mama's in the kitchen
Frying chicken, golden brown,
Smothering cabbage,
just rushing around.
...
