Brigitte M. Walker Poems

Twelve months now we've been harnessed as a married couple.
Pulled the household wagon through fun and trouble.
We trotted out of step, sometimes, like ox and mules,
But mostly we strutted like thoroughbreds from the Lippizan school.
...

All is fair in love and war--
And the two are closely linked...
I have fought a valiant battle:
See my finger that is ring'd!
...

Your heart is safely stored in my soul.
As petals on a rose at dawn of day,
My memory unfurls, to let me stay
With you once more, and once again I feel,
...
