JAMES T. ADAIR Poems

This early morning
there is a stillness in the air
broken only by a flock of birds
chirping wildly in a nearby thatch of bamboo
...

My grandfather long ago died
His name was Andy
When I was a boy
he gave me some Coal Candy
...

Seems the cold rainy day
Discouragement did bring
Lonliness decided to stay
With its familiar sting
...

A tear falls from heaven
with the other raindrops
and lands on a hot skillet
and dances wildly
...

if you're heart is broken
and you're feeling down and blue
and don't know what do do
and all your friends
...

Romance is all about timing
and I'm no Rolex
I'm afraid my timing is off
I'm a Timex
...

In the quiet stillness of early morning
When everyone has all gone to bed
a quiet ringing goes through my ears
and through my head
...

we never said goodbye
we used to say Aloha
and laugh about it
like two little kids
...

Some of the nicest things in life
come out of the blue
like a chance meeting with you
as you begin your life anew
...

I can fix a flat tire
I can fix a bike
I can splice a wire
I can drive a spike
...
