Theresa Ann Moore Poems

You are as fragrant
as the first rose of Spring…
While winds are blowing
like a roaring freight
...

Woke up in the dark with a chill
Had a nightmare that could kill
Realize it was just a terrifying dream
I was still breathing... no need to scream
...

Late at night when everyone was sleeping or
supposedly so…there was a sound of creeping
Moving to and fro causing timid thoughts to conjure
Who or what…is keeping me from peacefully sleeping
...

When it comes to deciding what to do
with my day…pay the bills that are due
or clean the house after eating breakfast
Both are major things that add up to very last
...

For those of you who can entangle…
Fold a precise square of paper
Corner to corner into four triangles
Side to side…creating an amusing caper
...

When merchandise flyers come in the mail
There is a frantic search for what is on sale
Rational: the more you buy—the more you save
Trawling for the big catch…caught up in the wave
...

Their fondness for one another began long ago
As the sun lifted above the horizon into a sky of blue
When they were born… the two of them said hello
With look-alike features…sharing life as they grew
...

Make your way from the beginning to end
Like the alphabet from A to Z
Just what would you like to B…
What would U like to C…
...

Sally bought a new hat
It was of woven straw
Laden with pink posies
The most stunning you ever saw
...

Johnny was a little boy who collected rocks
Gray ones, colorful ones, sparkly and dull
He searched the flowerbeds one morning in his socks
Within a rock was a shape looking like an animal…
