Whitney Nicole Albright* Poems

The autumn’s presence has come on strong
The old bull frog’s tweedling his drone
And the bird's chirrups seem to belong
All in a melodious song
...

Age 8

I dont know how long I'll be gone,
But I promise you one day I'll be home.
...

I sat there on the cement by the pool
Such a hot day, that I wanted to be cool
I couldn’t help you kept running through my mind
And how bad I wished that I could find
...

Cadenced beats
Rippling sheets
The lows and peaks
Of this creek
...

A long, white dress she wore that day
Her silked hair on her shoulders
It was the warmest hour in May
So beautiful she was, he told her
...

The mist is gone
The sun has risen
I see our new dawn
Let's escape our prison
...

There's this old heart
That got lost in the rain
Oh, it fell apart
It seemed choked in pain
...

Sometimes I wonder how to find my way
When my heart is so blue
I don't know what to deny or say
But my love, my way is you
...

Is your life like an hour glass?
The sand moves form slow to fast
First everything was at the top
And then it all starts to drop
...

Come, let me show you my home
Child, oh so greatful one
From the abandoned roads you roam
Child, oh so greatful one
...
