Theresa Ann Moore Poems

Energy flows where your attention goes…
Search within to find stability and peace
Create a world that makes life worth living
Chances are your happiness will increase
...

Sweltering temperatures induce a longing thirst
All motion has slowed to a thick maple syrup flow
Dogs pant and sluggish cats stretched out to nap
Sizzling heat climbs…where did summer joy go?
...

Stored on a shelf
In the garage
Is a canning jar
With a screwed on lid
...

On the outside looking in
On the inside looking out
Accepted
Rejected
...

The pages have come loose from the binding
Letter tabs are worn and curled from seeking
Names and phone numbers are here for finding
A location for those to whom I am speaking
...

The glow from the computer suddenly blackened
Thoughts of poetry writing immediately slackened
The persistent hands of time stopped in the round
Electrical devices could not assist or make a sound
...

When a mother is ready to give birth.
She yells loudly because it really hurts.

The bouncing baby is more than welcome.
...

Rhonda Wright where are you going today?
'I must go to the grocery store with out delay.'
What is it that you are lacking? What do you need?
'There is a special something on my list… let's proceed.'
...

Reaching for a goal
Making complete
Making whole
Attaining what we seek…
...

Rhonda, why are you late again today…
Your constant tardiness causes a delay
Each time I hear your footsteps coming
nearer… my weary head starts drumming
...
