Faith Elizabeth Brigham Poems

what a child fears becomes
his reality in the dark of night
monsters take flight
they hide in the closet causing such fright
...

and then a hard rain came
like a curse on the crescent city
breaking the levee
causing mass desruction
...

in solitude i rest
washing my bones
one section at a time
feeling my body relax
...

i write because
i reside in
a world of words
cut from
...

the wind howls
the electric has
been out for hours
restless hounds and
...

'sgetem
yes, let's get them
those three words rolled into one set off
a barking frenzy
...

she glides across
the ice with style and grace
skating as though she owned the ice
nailing each jump with expertise
...

i get my daily bread in small doses
pondering lifes wonders
trying to view life
through someone elses' eyes
...

i met a young mother
whose skin was all whithered
a broken-hearted lover
whose eyes were all swollen
...

half-moon hanging
between two lone stars
the night air filled
with the scent
...
