Dorothy (Alves) Holmes Poems

I think I'll write a silly rhyme
To help me pass away the time...
I see no fireflies tonight,
Neither stars nor moon are in sight,
...

Oh, I owe a debt to spring!
She brought me wild flowers and
Hardy daffodils,
Beautiful, velvet, green carpeted hills.
...

Collect your moments,
String them together like
Pearls of time.
Memories bequeathed to a new generation
...

Purple dreams came true,
Now,
Purple balloons, heart shaped...
Purple tears in salute for
...

6 stanzas...four lines each...

Summer paused on the path to pleasures of autumn dreams.
Alas! Summer's picture perfect days were soon to end.
...

peek-a-boo star light
prettier than urban skies
midnight, country blue
...

Would that my love were magic
I would take away your pain.
Would that my love were magic
You would run, laugh, dance, sing,
...

You
The knot in the shoe string
I can't untie...
The piece of lint that stuck
...

A house is a treasured
Place
Whether belonging to one
Or shared by many
...

Even as you say
You love me
I hear you from some distant
Tunnel of my mind say
...
