Faith Elizabeth Brigham Poems

she stands at the window
cheek pressed to the pane
while the last trace of summer
becomes drenched in the rain
...

When the whole world's got you down
and the blues keep coming around
do not fear for i am here
and just for you i'll play the clown
...

i ate cake for breakfast
oh, you may think that i'm a fool
have your eggs and bacon
if you think that's what you should do
...

a simple whack or two
with the ax wouldn't do
she kept on whacking till
she was through
...

the burden of
potential lifted
worth a million words
in and of itself
...

never love a cold-hearted man
his mind is full of trickery
and ice runs through his veins
he will break your heart into
...

Jiggling
Up-turned
Sensuous
Tantalizing
...

his philosophy was
if a cop didn't see it-
he didn't do it
and that's where
...

i am reborn every morning
when i rise expecting
good things from the day
getting my dose of raw reality
...

loving the wrong man
is what i do best-
the distant man
the man already taken
...
