A . T . Perkins Poems

The grass and mud smell like a marsh
as it is swept up by the gusts of warm air.
The ping of bat and ball
sends six, out of the nine
...

I swill the man made liquid
Down my throat.
What are you thinking?
How dare you gloat!
...

The field, its blanket of snow
and blinding whiteness
surrounds me.
The wet chill, the cold
...

Big Jack was strapped in
To pull the burden.
The stump was coming out
That was for certain.
...

Let me tell you friend.
...

The rain pouring from infinite whiteness
Soaking the black backdropp of bark. its
Brown veins with their
Green tipped buds, ready to burst.
...

Been gone so long, but
I've been right here
A shell of a person
Going thru the Motions, The wrong way.
...

I can feel my Temper,
My chest ripping from the beating pace
my heart is trying to keep up with
My emotions - mans weakness.
...

The sky's part, bringing heavy
Downpours of rain.
The rivers rise, and then recede
Clearing everything in it's path.
...

Our time, measured in years
go by fast, slipping
streamlined thru the
universe - nonstop.
...
