Harlan Simantel Poems

it helped my life
to set a goal
a work to do
to satisfy my soul
...

my wife makes me wait
whenever we go out
it's just her unchangeable trait
put on her lips
...

There once was a poet named Har,
Whose thoughts didn't reach very far.
He thunk and he thunk
But his poetry stunk,
...

I'd like to be a robin,
Fly where I want to soar,
Enjoy the easy grace on wing,
Not earth-bound any more.
...

saved
to be spent
that's why
i'm sent
...

she likes to hear me talk like that
naughty stories under her hat.
arouse! amuse!
to her it's always
...

what matters most
to the heavenly host
all is not lost
in regret and dust
...

there once was a man
named cummings
ee
went strumming
...

what do they think
those creatures of His?
