Theresa Ann Moore Poems

Feeling comfortable in your controlled surroundings
A generous earthen terra cotta pot is securely holding
Bolstered in seasoned soil that is a careful mix of blending
Watered uniformly when drought weakened leaves are folding
...

After a long persistent winter
We are now in an enduring thaw
The songbirds are here at last
Nature’s splendor hastens awe
...

The hours have managed to drift away
Now it is time to say our good-byes
Your eyes swell and overflow with tears
No need to be sad; soon again we’ll say 'Hi! '
...

In my backyard I have a Magnolia tree
It is like an old, reliable, trusted friend
Elevating my disposition by many degrees
On its presence… I increasingly depend
...

Step into the world of the sightless unknown
Feel the tender blades of grass beneath your feet
Absorb the warmth of the surrounding glow
Breathe in the awesome spirit that greets
...

Today is the day
Of your long anticipated return
I look forward to seeing you as I pray
Excited to hear what you have learned
...

As a very young child… you steadied me upon my feet
You let go and beckoned with open arms beyond my touch
Encouraging me to succeeded…making my journey complete
Step by step, I toddled to your praise… you gave so much
...

The sight of chocolate covered cherries induces
A desire to devour each one nonstop… bite by bite
Overwhelming taste buds before flavor touches lips
As a heavenly scent entices with a persuasive invite
...

Little babes held in arms helplessly dependent
Growing day by day…becoming independent
Learning how to communicate and make their way
Leaving Mom and Dad…moving a distance away
...

The past flickers with a sharp vivid intensity
Ripping open the curtains of obscure density
Without prompting…as clear as morning light
Sights of lunacy loom stirring a dreadful fright
...
