Dorothy (Alves) Holmes Poems

black against pale sky
shadow in the pouring rain
barren silhouette
...

Somebody said,
'He's too fat! '
Somebody said,
'She' too tall.'
...

I just want to thank you
For putting a band aid
On my broken heart,
I was turning around in circles
...

Clouds wearing halos
Brightening gray spaces in
Sky after the rain
...

Snow angels spread wings
Gliding down mountain slide boards
All below praise Jah
...

Pale fairy dancers
Spin in haze of morning mist
Wearing spider's webs
...

Peace maker
Heart breaker
Once brought me news I did not want
Never know what's on other end
...

There is an elephant
Standing
In my chest
And
...

Here where there is love
Beauty rises from the heart
The eyes speak volumes
...

Early morning blues
Got me down!
Where are the sounds of your footsteps?
Where?
...
