Cory Fox Poems

Boys and girls, take your places
It's time again, I'm sure you know
To wear your happy faces
Because we all love a good show
...

Big fish and small fish
Swimming here in this pond
Fast fish and slow fish
And now one is gone
...

Jagged, bitter edges hide
Fragile lies about to break
Transparent fools trapped inside
Each to make the next's mistake
...

'I pray for you more than me
Now life is never dull
The two of us have worlds to see
I think you're beautiful'
...

When Christmas grew near
And the shoppers appeared
Wearing their caroler's best
I was blinded by lights
...

They tell me that they care
But I know what lies beneath
Once they see my nightmare
They're lying through their teeth
...

I wish I was an otter
Skies and waves the color of jeans
It fills my pants with water
The ocean is really cool beans
...

Raindrops drumming on the car ride home
No one beside me; I’m on my own
Alone with my thoughts- a listless moan
...

Three brothers walking after dawn
Found gold in a pot on their lawn
Said the first, 'Let us share! '
Said the next, 'We won't dare! '
...

Church bells echo down the river run
Father rises with the Sunday sun
He won’t miss a day
He sings hymns loudly on the chapel floor
...
