Saiom Shriver Poems

Without asking,
branches are
supplied
by the vine.
...

Pigeons fearless perch
on the general's statue.
Crows convene on
ineffective scarecrows
...

There are no ugly ducklings
.. only beautiful babies
on the road to swandom
...

A series of
different destinations
becomes a chain
of destiny
...

Christians who justify their
cruelty and killing of
animals quote Genesis 1: 28
but seldom Genesis 1: 29
...

For him
a ten thousand dollar bill
was a genie
released from Aladdin's lamp
...

If little pigs
wore judges' wigs
...

Beyond where bees sip
ambrosia in each cowslip
Beyond the final waterfall drip
there the land to the sea dips
...

Like a stone heart
entered by a watery root
are the mountains
along the fjord's route
...

It was a grey dawn.
The sun groaned and turned over
and went back to sleep
under his cloud quilt cover
...
