Paul Amrod Poems

It’s the poetry of life painting like the frost
on the tip of autumn’s breeze.
It’s the poetry of life found and never lost
Feeling comfortably at ease

Blue Autumn Angel please don’t despair

The minus sign hung over our future initiating
no ripples in our brainwaves that streamed so freely.

We walked in a paradisal atmosphere after all was said and done.
Caressed by a summer's breeze with the deepest feelings to beautify
