Terence George Craddock Poems

hot in the fierce
burning overhead sun
but cool beneath a green
tree shade breeze
...

a straw brim country shade hat
protects from the scorching sun
better than a trendy baseball cap
...

waking in a grey bland
fingernail dull morning
is choice smile applied
with an attentive adorning
...

songs are written ready to be sung
dances wait for dancers ready to dance
songs are soul life word melodies
...

nature does not wait nature sings dances
in a breeze in wind in clouds in the sky
in a babbling brook a glee singing stream
nature sings dances in all change seasons
...

songs are written ready to be sung
dances wait for dancers ready to dance
songs are soul life word melodies
a dance is a song of words in musical notes
...

once in legend history men searched
in vain for legendary lost cities of gold
fever dream quests in search of El Dorado
...

golden leaves carpet the enchanted ground
at the feet of glorious proud trees in gilt leaf
spreading for miles mile after glorious mile
...

once in legend history men searched
in vain for legendary lost cities of gold
fever dream quests in search of El Dorado
why do fools not stop admire golden gilt
...
