alan brown Poems

The Night was warm and peaceful
as I walked along my road
The sands of time had caught up with me
As on and on I strode.
...

A dog was left in dyer straits
by an owner still unknown
She was thin and week and wiry
and you could see her bone
...

I look out at the sky at night
and count the endless stars.
That can be seen from any land
no matter where you are.
...

A creature wandered through the wood,
undaunted by the soundless clip of its horse like hooves.
Deliberately it raised its head and smelt the morning air,
tasting droplets of dew lingering in the morning mist.
...

I know I Am not American
and don't live in the USA
But I saw this man on TV news,
Just the other day.
...

I have a good friend called Rick
who with a guitar is real slick
He strums out a tune
By the light of the moon
...

The stars glistened in the dark night sky
as the moon hovered above the roaring sea.
Bringing a shimmering light to the darkened land,
as shadows danced in unison upon the rolling waves.
...

The man flue took its toll this week
It sapped my strength and made me weak
My eyes felt like they were popping out
And my high temperature sometimes made me shout
...

A sadness overcame me
as I walked into the room
It was full of unhappy people
with faces full of gloom
...
