Dorothy (Alves) Holmes Poems

Rainbows stretched across the sky
Roses, frogs and dragonflies
Yapping puppies, kittens purring,
Birds singing lullabies,
...

Trees Sparkling!
Music Playing!
Smiles Dancing!
Gifts Galore!
...

Darling,
Did you recheck the gift list
Who did we miss?
Slippers for dad
...

The mellow mood of Christmas
Soft music and thoughts of you
Thrill me through and through.
I relive childhood dreams filled
...

Gleeful children roar
Sweet sounding voices fill air
Their faces snow kissed
8: 59 p.m.
...

Up maybe at eight

Got a heavy ice cold date
...

Footprints in the snow
Little faces all aglow
Voices filled with song and laughter
Echoing toward the pale sky rafters
...

A ribbon of snow lingers after the storm
On the road leading to and from my home,
Tying the silky fog to the landscape shadows
Of houses and trees hiding in the mist.
...

Cloaked in the wonder of your love,
feasting on the magic of your smile,
comforted by the strength of your arms,
I hang on to your laughter, warm and clear...
...
