Randy McClave Poems

Who would had led
If all the poets were dead,
When I heard the bell's chime
I did not hear a rhyme,
...

I walk into the room and it is cold
Or, is it just me because I am getting old,
The room is large, but the patients are sparse
I guess it will be a waiting room farce.
...

Man's life is placed in a simple shoebox
A wallet, a razor, and underwear and socks,
He doesn't care about being orthodox
Tick-tock, goes all of his clocks.
...

I remember the times that we went fishing
The anticipation, the dreaming and then the wishing,
Going to the family farm inside the woods
It was mine, and also my son's childhoods.
...

I put all the blame upon the mother
Why her child won't share his toys with another.
She always buys him this, and also buys him that
Now she has a child, who is a spoiled brat.
...

All worries and problems are my own
And it is always me that is wanted on the phone,
Only luggage that I have it is in the garage
And never do I fear of spy's or sabotage.
...

She was such a beautiful female
From what I have seen and from what others had said,
And the many times that I have looked at her, without fail
I could see the halo above her head.
...

I don't remember that much about high-school
Except that when I went I was just a fool,
I remember not caring and always skipping classes
While always having an eye for all of the pretty lasses.
...

Overspending and a constant war,
Inflation widened the gap between the rich and the poor.
Fallen infrastructure and then military overspending,
Upon slaves and cheap labor they were depending.
...

She turned ninety years old today
Now at last for her I will pray,
As I think back at her life
As a child, a daughter, a sister, a mother and a wife….
...
