Smoky Hoss Poems

Life is full
of subtle ambiguity,
'tis seldom found
in literal certainty -
...

There is but a moment
That a human heart fully lives,
When thinking not of itself
And unconditionally gives -
...

One tree
in the foreground of all trees ever formed,
standing in the wind blowing
above and beyond the norm
...

The picture,1934.
A dirty bib-overalled farmer stands
hat in hand, weeping,
gazing out over the dried up field.
...

There grew a garden of roses
in a valley under the sun;
while a perfect poet sat on the face of the moon
writing of wonder, birds, flowers, and fun-
...

Old men sit in old bars
drinking old drinks, smoking old cigars;
Writers go crazy sitting and staring at empty pages,
both burn away their youth, on and on through the ages-
...

Wind in the willow
wind in the pine,
blowing wherever it shall please,
but never moreso peacefully, than through the wondering mind-
...

a smokestack behind
rows of trees
turning
with the crisp autumn breeze;
...

They chopped the old tree down today.
The one they said
that got in the way.
The way of what?
...

Walking under a maple tree
with leaves of green and brown,
I notice some hang on
while others lay upon the ground.
...
