Robin Perkins Poems

Stay with me awhile before you fly
And feel the blowing kisses of the wind
The creek is singing a lovely lullaby
...

It was two years ago -
I bought you a bench
On Fifth, Central Park Zoo
With a brass plaque
...

ah, sea - there you are
waiting for me, dark shadows -
luminous at noon
...

She's bald
She wears a crown with shiny scales
as bright as Christmas lights
and Time Square streets at night
...

I'm stuck like an obsidian rock
tethering
by a craggy ledge
and narrow gorge
...

Remnants from last summer's memory
Welcomes the beginning of autumn air,
Adores the goddess of deep amber chill.
...
