Matt Decker Poems

I am Anna Graham,
Anna Graham I am -
With letters and words
I like to play around.
...

Scatter beasts,
Mental beasts

He speaks,
...

Heavenly Father,
I approach Your throne -
Knowing full well
The treasures You own.
...

Imagine rising in synch with the sun,
Heading out the door for my morning run -

Drinking a smoothie for energy and health,
...

Here I am,
Marooned on this land.
My feet sink down into shifting sand.
At times it feels more like quicksand.
...

Well hello there,
My name is Al.
It's short for -oh who cares?
Let me just get this out.
...

The legato of language and lingo,
The dance of diction and dialect -
Have you ever considered the difference
A little letter or two can effect?
...

As upon this pillow I lay my head,
I ask You to place angels by my bed;
I call to mind the words You said
And all that Jesus did in my stead -
...

I am Timothy, Timmy, Tim.
My dad is James, Jimmy, Jim.
My mom is Kimberly, Kimmy, Kim.
...

How can I
Hope to fly
If I'm shy
'Bout The Try?
...
