Shirley Harrison Poems

This windy morn

has left its debris on my path
...

When I was born I couldn't speak

so I cried that was the only way I could communicate
...

3.

I am delicate

I flourish and bloom, when loved
...

My Raven is my lantern from grief

he sits with me
...

I'm a Poet-ess who

likes to be controversial
...

You see, there are different types of grief

the grief that pulls you under
...

A perfect meet-cute

when love and architecture
...

I'll be your lamp
I'll keep you bright
shining for all to see you
in all your magic
...

And as I ponder

on exactly what my next poem will look like?
...

Today, it is not about politics, it is not about terrorism

today it is simply about remembering
the innocent people who died
...

Sometimes I want to call you

but I know in my heart
...

12.

Looking back now
...

13.

You are the king of my universe
your poetry sets my heart ablaze
where the river was born to a peaceful flow
we stand together as one sweet soul
...

A beautiful old lady
stopped me on the street today
she asked me, if I believed in God?
...

Tormented every time we meet

knowing you are my soulmate
...

A truly great love song should be heard at least once
in every person's lifetime
so too a lyric or two on loss
whether it be of love or otherwise
...

Raven he did come today

to tell me news of bad and gray
...

As I reflect on what a tree means to me

I reflect on its leaves
...

And so

eventually I dived in...
...

Today's forecast...

dark cloud, covering one's mind
lonely, lost with panic breaths
...

The Best Poem Of Shirley Harrison

This Windy Morn

This windy morn

has left its debris on my path

the once elegant cypress

that's stood for years, now dead and gone

a path once filled

by the orchestra of birds hiding in its foliage

I shall overpass its fresh weeping skeleton

whilst reflecting on

oh how its shade has protected me from the hot sun

and from the unpredictable powers of

Mother Nature's wrath

I can tell you, we've had many

after all, we still have four seasons here

soon it will be time to pot my strawberry seeds

but they'll never be a patch on that cypress.
