Dorothy (Alves) Holmes Poems

Butterfly lingers
On african violet
A joy to behold
...

The woods are silent
Dressed for the Snow Queen's grand ball
Elegant in white
...

Rainbow melody
Lifting burdens from sad hearts
Time well spent, dream on
...

Light house gides you home
Deep waters splash against rocks
Whispering your name
...

This one's meant to tease
My brain cells that are at ease
Haiku challenge freeze
...

A heart in mourning
Twilight sky reflects sorrow
Sea filled with my tears
...

Well, you took five plants from me
I don't know how many from my neighbors,
Or from my mother,
Which she started from seed...
...

Misty gray morning
Casting gloom on
My day dreams...
Cease and desist,
...

The buzz buzz of
The bumble bee
Teased, then slowlly
Awakened me.
...

Some one offered him a hand,
He had no way to know
It was the boogieman
I watched him on the news that evening,
...
