Dorothy (Alves) Holmes Poems

sad rose, face in gloom
left alone, edged in blue tears
her green leaves quiver
...

We make snow angels
Atop mountain we dared climb
Our laughter echoes
...

Shadows in the fog
I get lost finding my way
I shall persevere
...

Flash of soft rainbow

glows at foot of waterfall
...

You pulled the pink ribbon

from my hair...
...

Mother,
What is a chatter box?
Is it as sly as a fox?
Is it the same as a jack in the box?
...

The sky is pale,
A silver backdrop
For giant pines
The world is still,
...

It seems beauty
Walks through a door
Which has a nail
She didn't see...
...

Stay in they cautioned
Oh but I must search for you,
...

Beauty of sunset
radiant hues of fire
purple clouds hover
...
