Lonnie Hicks Poems

I have taken Yesterday
wrapped it in time and space
aligned it with previous weeks and days,
inside sliver months;
...

I am what they call plain pretty,

an in-betweener
...

The terrible part was her confidence
which sat upon my chest like twenty dozen smiling roses;

she took my furtive glances
...

Eterna, Grantor of Immortality, sat the Silver Throne her Judgment Stick
tapping One's and Two's-one for 'Yes' and Two for 'No' while assembled below the thrones' height were the petitioning hordes-those who came seeking Eternal Life and Immortality; the religionists, the fame-seekers, the parents, the writers, poets, and novelists, the politicians and the evil seekers.

There were all the animal species the vegetation and the microbials and those seeking to become immortal in the memory of those they loved and those that admired them.
...

The most profound thing Einstein said
is that time is taffy, malleable.

And so is space.
...

I have given what I knew to give
placed my 'x' on the written page
yet the written words there have proven to be incomprensible
to those I had written them for.
...

Even if there were no sun,
no moon in the night-time sky
the shine of these two
by any measure is
...

You'll not find me in no white lace frilly frock
there'll be no be no silver slipper
and prince charming laughing
you'll find me walking doubts corridors
...

Mind called the meeting with just Heart and Lungs attending:

Mind said:
'What is the problem? '
...

If I had a lifetime's sins

to spend
I would spend them all on you
...
