Zach McClure Poems

He gazed across
The wind swept meadow
To a lone tree
Standing there
...

Today, glimpsed I, a curious sight
A mound of snow, no longer white.
It basked alone, upon brown grass
It seemed to say, This too shall pass
...

As I gazed out the window this
Sweet morning and surveyed the view
I saw that change was in the air;
Like some celestrial store clerk,
...

Norwood asleep beneath
A crisp, crunchy blanket of snow.
Stillness.
Dim street lights bathe
...

She’s all of three
And whirling ‘round
In circles.
Her tiny hand clasping
...

Just stay away!
Sobbed she.
Scalding tears
Pool both her palms.
...

“Who tracked in this snow? ”
Mom queried her son.
“It was just me and Sam
Outdoors having fun.”
...

Underneath a crystal sky,
Underneath the darkness wide
with stars so bright,
I lift my eyes to wonder
...

Beatrice wept.
But not so others noticed.
Oh, she laughed alright,
when others told jokes
...

This was to be their first, grand journey.
Who would dare believe?
Sarah Maple, and Ol’ Bear
Her special, robot teddy!
