Mary Havran Poems

One second might not tell
When held against an hour
One hour might not count
When weighed against a day
...

Dylan said it (wrote it, sang it)
“Everybody must get stoned”

Yes
...

Raise the glass
Swirl the spirits
Clinking the crystal
Toast those present
...

God is well and good
His love will never fail
He does just as He should
Until man attempts to prevail
...

This morning there were diamonds
Dazzling the tree branches
Simple drops of dew
Transected by morning sunlight
...

You have my digits right?
(Your number oh yeah I do)
You know my email addy also?
(Yup Ditto Messenger, Yahoo and ICQ)
...

At Halloween we had more treats
Than we had trick-or-treaters
and at least one of us
living in this house
...

I remember, yes remember
Though distant the sounds of youth
Older people voicing warnings
Their ancient versions of the truth
...

Powdered sugar dusted donut clouds
Buoyant beneath the brilliant blue
Salmon shades slivering layered stone
Eons exposed in each earthen view
...
