shimon weinroth Poems

Slopes a downward incline, upward climb
angle of the eye, slides and slips
glides across the horizon, breaks the line
slants the movement of the sun
...

used to graze our cattle there
the sheep walked that path
horse chose to water near
then for many years motor cars
...

there is so much violence
in the movies, theaters and on TV
I verbally detest, and yet
I come back over and over again
...

Supply and Demand went acourting
he on bended knee promised her
everything she needed
...

the way up and the way down
are one and the same,
is attributed to Heraclitus
but the way forward and the way back
...

the framework is solid
the body is sound
the spirit is light
as thoughts float around
...

Woman and Man of today
contest the right of way
their children and computers
have all - there is to say
...

Soft warm soapy hands
ease the tensions of a day
submerged
all the sinful thoughts
...

Some say comes but once a year
a fun day of hoaxes and jokes on
friends neighbors, family
just plain folk, gobs, gooby, and noodles
...

I tremble with excitement
at each new fantasy
embraced by secret
...
