Ray Lucero Poems

Often words are but tiny turds of humor and of wit,
Flotsam in a poets mind…“Oh my, what junk, what shit! ”
...

(To Dad)

How tall he sat upon
his polished leather saddle
...

Disasters aplenty, run-rampant today
Why? You may ask with look of dismay

What causes natural disasters you naively inquire
...

First monkey covered his eyes and spoke,
“See no evil”...
By refusing to see and confronting evil
Victims are born of doubt, guilt and fear
...

I so look forward to my comfy bed at night
Nesting in quilts 'n pillows of soft down
As aimless as when a leaf takes flight
In dreams who shall I be tonight?
...

(A Prayer)

'When you have, everything,
You have everything, to lose'
...

Today while driving a rural road
just a few minutes from my house,
I saw a black dog running toward me on
the right shoulder of the road,
...

They came;
To flee oppression,
To thwart poverty,
To support families,
...

I offer all I am or will ever be,
My prayers, deeds, the all of me

To serve and give to my Dear Lord,
...

P-oets
E-ngaged
A-ctively
C-onfidently
