Herbert Dry Poems

Mama I brought you another rose
today
Four roses I have brought you four years sense
you passed
...

My vision is fading away
As light escaping from the day
My pulse weak and slow
As a person wading in deep snow
...

Come walk with me my mother when I was a
little child
To a time of make believe and imagination
gone wild
...

Evil thoughts locked away the cruelty of men
on display
City streets screams of night at the curb our
children lay
...

The reason for love broken
Are many words left unspoken
My day of love the sun grows dim
Never again will I speak of him
...

Lord you know I can't read or
write
I hope you can understand my
plight
...

Life like a scorpion has hurtful
stings
Some days life carries us on eagles
wing
...

Different sizes different shapes some of granite
some of stone
Standing with many but feeling
alone
...
