Pene Burkey Poems

'Mom, why do you watch those black and white movies?
They're part of our history, Son.
...

What did Santa leave under my tree?
He left hugs and kisses for me,
A safe year without injury,
The family I treasure dearly,
...

The sky grew dark this April morn,
The north wind blew his snowy scorn.

Suddenly all was dressed in white,
...

I sit and watch the kids at play,
They seem to copy the news today.
I sometimes wonder what they think,
When they're sitting down to eat and drink.
...

What is it you would like to do?
Do you want to learn something new?
All you will ever need to know
Is in a book....Read it and grow! !
...

Dandelions are out and about...
A menace to some who mow, no doubt.
Many wine-makers with glee will shout...
To them this flora has taste and clout.
...

The air was hot, humid, and heavy
When we ventured out.

As the sun beat down upon us
...

If I could take you with me,
I would.
I would take you everywhere if
I could.
...

A sharpened pencil makes my day
When I sit down to work or play.
'Never a dull moment, ' some would say.
Never a dull point in my array!
...

Poetry Is....

A time for every season
