Dorothy (Alves) Holmes Poems

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

10: 30 p.m.
And I wish it were
Midnight
And this day had already
...

Lazy swans glide while
Blue waters save brightly hued
Tributes to spring time
...

Swans glide under pink
Budded trees relaxing in
Blue stream dazzle
...

Swan returns again
Gliding alone in sorrow
His love has expired.
...

Day in sepia
Fog and crashing waves prevail
We laughed and loved here
...

Loveliness of swans
Beaks and long necks shape a heart
Together joy of love
...

We laughed
Until we cried, but
If you think that was funny,
You should have seen the other heart!
...

Stay in they cautioned
Oh but I must search for you
Wind and rain be damned
...
