Gary Vanderbur Poems

A piece of paper and a pen.
That's all you really need.
Write a few words and leave them behind.
Something that will catch the eye of a demanding public.
...

See how the edge gleams in the light?
(I tell ya, there's nuthin' like a good piece of Gillette steel.)
It feels so good in my hand
(And right now, it's all you need...)
...

Sit down upon Me, O weary one.
Rest and bask in the sun.
Cares have no place upon My seat.
Cast them down at My feet.
...

The night wind blows across the field
Playing a mournful tune.
It's breeze has scattered the flowers about
And steals dirt from the mound.
...

Love
Making, breaking,
Aching, quaking, shaking,
Living a full life
...

Poetry
Descriptive, insightful
flowing, provoking, doubting
Words working together to deliver a message
...

Weather
Earth's lving heart
Wind, rain, snow, sun, hail, ice
Bringing forth life and causing death
...

Have you ever looked up on a hot summer day,
And notice the clouds busy at play?

They scuttle around the sky
...

Stop the clock!
I'd like to get in,
Into the corridors of time.
...

In the far distance, a bell is tolling.
I find myself listening to its sound.
Joyously ringing, its peals extolling.
Then why do I feel as if I am bound?
...
