Dorothy (Alves) Holmes Poems

His silver head is bowed,
His shoulders bent with the age of time.
Tobacco stained teeth tightly grip his
Corn cob pipe.
...

The sunset's radiant smile, rain's melody.
A song sublime tenderly rendered, warming my heart.
We are love complete, 'Dancing in the moonlight! '
You handle life's challenges with strength of character.
...

As she fluttered by,
The words were
Like lacy snow flakes, falling from the sky.
A lovely canvas were her wings in delicate blue,
...

God's essence is love's image.
Jealousy weakens love's vowed promise.
Honesty gives love its power.
Always keep love's fire burning.
...

empty moon, smile gone
tears overflow, spilling into
the night's silence
...

fall's hued melody
red, yellow, orange, green it sings
sunbeams harmonize
...

I wish I could walk
Upside down
And see the world
Like a circus clown.
...

Ah, but she was lovely, she was lovely
As roses are, when renewed.
This time, instinctively he knew
She only needed to be nourished carefully
...

Cruising down life's highway,
Wind in her face,
Looking neither to the left or right,
Sun at her back
...

I think I'll write a pink poem,
To make you smile,
Because pink poems say
I love you in all the languages
...
