Marilyn Shepperson Poems

Some hunt at dusk
Some hunt at dawn
We hunt at any time
At our Alpha's howl
...

Dragon like he sat, among his piles of gold
While a single candle gave
The only flickering light
Yet in the ash filled grate
...

We'd seen the entrance months before
Though we'd passed it many times
This was the first time we'd stopped
And gone in to explore
...

What really happens when we die
Do you ever stop to wonder
Or like me, admit you're frightened
And put it out of your mind
...

It had snowed all the night
Carrying on into the day
Now it was late afternoon
It had finally ceased
...

I have no fear of cats or dogs
Nor any bird either
I actually like snakes and frogs
And mice can be quite charming
...

A ship lies anchored in the mouth of the bay
Small boats alongside it, like chicks round a hen
Aboard men work silently, swiftly
They know what needs to be done
...

When the sun shines again
After a heavy shower of rain
And through the open window
You breathe in the freshly washed air
...

Dreamweaver, weave me a dream
Where I'm rich and famous
Known to all the world
Weave me a dream, where I'm young and beautiful
...

To make a really nice sandwich, was my aim
When I was in the kitchen at that time
Of ham, tomato and lettuce
A real doorstop of a sandwich
...
