Michael Kersting Poems

I felt at peace that bright summer day

As I lay in the shade of the big oak tree
...

The night was cold and windy.

I heard a loud knocking at my door
...

I met her on a ferry crossing
On a bright summer day
She stood at the bow rail
Her flowing hair in disarray
...

Feasting on the bodies from the Nuclear blasts.

Those dreadful rats had quite a repast
...

2050 A.D.

The war scorched Earth
Once teeming with vibrant life
...

Goodbye, goodbye, noisy city

I have had enough of your crowded streets,
...

The taxi stood waiting at the curb
As he stood at the front door
hugging his little daughter
“Please don’t go, Daddy! , she cried, tears
...

The War! The War!

The Bloody War!
...

Farewell, Farewell, noisy city, I have had enough of your crowded streets, pollution and incessant babble.

I shall go into the Woods and build myself a cabin amongst the chirping morning birds and summer flowers.
...

When I look into my mother's eyes

I see Love, pure, unselfish Love.
...
