RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Out in front of the State Capital, attending the Pearl Harbor
Memorial, Veterans everywhere, just met a gentleman who was
on the U.S. Bennington, same one Dad was on many years ago.
...

A morning filled with pride and patriotism, our Vets the
center of attention, everyone thanking them for their
service.
...

Douglas C47's will be flying over us in minutes, excitement
stirring within, four hundred Vets and their families owe
their lives to the pilots of Pearl Harbor.
...

Wondering at the amount of people who have grown up clueless,
knowing very little about our Constitution and rule of law,
they had to have dropped out of school in kindergarten.
...

Living in the evening of this temporary life, having fun,
being excited and thrilled about every poetical moment
being given to mind and intellect.
...

Leaves of trees gently swaying from branches, dancing in
afternoon desert breezes, enjoying refreshing scents of
nature surrounding them.
...

Resounding echoes of yesterday fall into memories of what
we used to do when much younger and with family, many
moments together.
...

Rocking to the energy of rhythms of rock and roll as
notes flow continuously into the atmosphere around
us.
...

Contented, settled back into rhythms, bringing peace and
serenity constantly into this poetical being, creating
and developing beautiful portraits of humanity.
...

Settled in farthest recesses of this mind, scientific
ideas lie hiding, awaiting their time to be focused
upon.
