Joyce Hemsley Poems

In days of long ago,
how did Europeans enter America?
I read the history and now I know.
They arrived at Ellis Island
...

I must write a short poem ~
The cream of the crop.
But where should I start?
Where should I stop?
...

Child of grace, so fair of face
You are the one, you bring the sun.
No other love could e'er take your place
The love in my heart I cannot erase
...

Be open-minded in this day and age
Leave prejudice far behind you.
Efficiency depends on good understanding
New ideas ~ a change for the better.
...

Forty words:

Silken wings fluttering by
...

Play that old familiar music
And hammer out the sound.
The military boys are coming home
Pass the magical words around.
...

I am only a minor 'unknown'
in my little corner of the world.
Such a simple man am I
the lowest lost sheep of the herd.
...

His poor heart is broken
a soul in distress,
sad words ever spoken
there's no happiness.
...

Poetic Style - Acrostic:

Eagerly he rushes down to the town
The jewellery store is where he is bound
...

To God
we gave our hearts
closed our eyelids to pray
in a humble and peaceful way
...
