Carol Pelletier Poems

I help warm the bench and cheer for my team.
I join in the huddles and listen and scheme.

I line up and join in the Star Spangled Banner
...

Come quickly with me lest the sun sinks into the luring west!

So there's light to see where an eagle built its lofty nest.
...

Accompany me and listen to the music of the singing, dancing river rushing on its way to the rocky ridge.

Feel the cool spray of the river shower as it tumbles over the jagged rocks of the falls.
...

Country living suits me so fine.
You have your place and I have mine.
Don't misunderstand
Nor be mislead.
...

My shadow needs a name of her own
So she knows who she is when she's all alone.

Her name must suit the things she does.
...

Red-winged blackbird in the tree,
Sing a song along with me.

Sing of songs of yesterday,
...

I'm dumping my pain in the back of my truck
Taking it out for a cruise.
I'll be driving all night
Maybe all day.
...

It takes a certain type of soul to live in a wooded spot,
Where neighbors are quite far away,
Not on a nearby lot.
...

I am having an affair.

The wind kisses my lips and runs its soothing breeze tenderly through my hair releasing me from restless feelings of anxiety.
...

My? birthday is too darned near!
I'm dreading that day, let me make it clear.
When I was younger I had no clue
That age would change my point of view.
...
