Francis Poole Poems

FACE OFF


Finally
...

What I'm about to say
comes from a distant place
in someone's mind
maybe yours
...

One night
I was awakened
by a lone bird
calling out loudly
...

I was about to cross
the wooden footbridge
over the mill race
when a large Grackle
...

When I was eight
I moved into a new foster home
with my suitcase and
three painted turtles.
...

SUNDAY MORNING 2020

To the traveler in space
there is no sense of movement
...

TRAIN TO DRADEG


Standing at the back of the last coach
...

In ancient astrology
Dark Gemini is the opposite
of its twin Light Gemini.
Dark Gemini is a deceitful huckster,
...

What do de date matter
What do it matter

How the wind don't blow
...
