Dorothy (Alves) Holmes Poems

Clearly
Ecstasy
Is
A
...

Depiction of life's
Twist and entanglements as
We go seeking love
...

Caladiums fill
Rock garden with pale faces
In shady garden
...

At first we did not see her
Hid behind a massive pulpit.
We moved our heads
To sweet flowing organ melodies
...

9: 50 A.M. Pennsylvania Avenue
A lone vagrant sits
In the December morning chill
Flanked by empty chairs
...

Sing out oh spring blooms
Crocus and daffodils dance
Midst forsythia
...

Painted butterflies
Dance prettily 'ore my head
On my umbrella
...

Sunset's brilliant light
Blazes in evening sky
River sings love song
...

Blue sky reflection
In pond framed in greenery
Moments of quiet bliss
...

Holding back...
Not wanting to count the chickens
before they hatch
Braving the winter winds
...
