Pleasant Dabbs Poems

Our hearts unfold, secrets reveal,
And we just now barely started
Trudging down the aisle of life,
Each (one)lonesome and half-hearted
...

He finds a way of expressing things
With an impassioned pen that sometimes sings
He writes of amity made and love lost
He reveals the truth despite the cost
...

He deemed his life unimportant
He considered he was lost, forgotten
But when he shared his worthless feelings
With a good friend, one who knew him
...

You see the dreaded caterpillar
A violet's enemy devourer
I see the ensuing butterfly
Whose proboscis sipped the nectar dry
...

A special event not often seen,
You might say rather rare
‘Tis where the moon wanders away
And sets itself right there
...

I'm longing for home
It's been way too long
Have I forgotten your face
After being together for so long
...

'Since' I left home, I started out on my own
To waste my dollars and 'cents' was I prone-
I didn't have the good 'sense' to be thrifty
But the 'scents' of success sounded real nifty
...

Well, she's the spice
That makes everything taste nice
She livens up my face
With her ribbons and pink lace
...

The road I scan with rear-view mirror
A lone wayfarer sneaks up behind
I'm there blocking his advance
My brake lights make him change his mind
...

Is there a sting in the vaccine?
A poke in the arm will cause you no harm
If the pain lingers, then place your fingers
Around the spot, just where the shot
...
