Theresa Ann Moore Poems

A stately tree stood above all others
giving a sense of reassurance and power
each day… leading to tomorrow, towering...
giving focus for celebrating each hour
...

As Christmas approaches
an excited clamor reigns supreme
Holiday ads dominate
newspapers and tv screens
...

Christmas time is a special time of year
as friends and family gather spreading cheer
Reminiscing and giving the warmth of caring
Realizing the greatest gift is love and sharing
...

As one year ends and another begins
We look back in retrospect and surmise
What have we gained and absorbed...
Hopefully we are improved and wise
...

Of all the dogs and cats I've met
there exists a category labeled 'strays'
There are no rigid rules of selection
They latch onto your heart and stay
...

As we explore and become involved
in a world of origami folds
Mountains and valleys form shapes
revealing what future holds
...

We've had several days of a freezing chill
making Christmas scenes more tranquil
...

Winter weariness becomes oppressive
while the dry brittle brown vegetation
is covered by a seamless blanket of snow...
Familiar landscape shapes lose definition
...

In all of life
there are highs and lows
When all is well,
we maintain a status quo
...

As I traveled, my senses let go
Suddenly, I came to a complete stop
A golden maple tree had overflowed
prying open it's tightly secured lid
...
