Edwina Reizer Poems

You want to have fear?
Listen to what you hear
emanating on sound waves
approaching your ear.
...

A book unopened
leaves words to die.
A book unopened
leaves words to lie
...

Some drink to take away pain.
Some eat and try to forget.
Some think and try to just stay sane.
Some cry big tears so wet.
...

Why is it that man looks great
even with a bald pate?
And a woman’s crowning glory
usually has an early date
...

America, my America land of liberty,
what can you say has happened to thee?
Can you still say with pride
just how you feel?
...

Have we lost our sense of humor?
We must laugh on every day.
For without laughter life is dull
Like a stage without a play.
...

Twas the night before Christmas
When all through my house
Not a creature was stirring,
Not even a mouse.
...

Peace, please come to me.
I am the earth,
the land and the sea.
I'm home to the animals
...

If only we could keep
those moments from slippin' away,
grab hold of them and cherish them
and try to make them stay.
...

Great man of your time,
poet of verse and poet of rhyme
you let the white man know
how easy it is to let go
...
