Lonnie Hicks Poems

I can see far galaxies,
count in each
the nebulae;
...

So here I am
15 and over weight
not especially pretty
but not bad;
...

I lay down
frilly covered
bouquet still
at my side;
...

I have a cat
who lounges languidly,
who paws the air
and stares at me.
...

This solar system mobile
slowly rotates
moved by a tiny breeze
I imagined just might
...

I keep with me
a dying rose
which sleeps beside me
on the pillow.
...

Help!
Being held hostage
by Reality
call the Illusion Police
...

The physics of poetry
is best explained in a mind experiment
in the construction of this very poem.
...

She sat down to feast
at Life's Table
polishing stars
for the summer night;
...

'Come over here' he said

'Let's you and me
talk private.
