Deanna Samuels Poems

Lost a friend today,
knew it was to be
but seemed too soon.
A good friend,
...

Only a widow will know what you mean
To lose that dear man, you were one of a team

To be part of a group that know only couples
...

The train pulls into the station
Passengers alight
Look around to see what direction to take
Some go at a brisk gait
...

Preface:
South West Ontario, an area of almost 36,800 square kilometers
With a general rural population of about two and a half million
Surrounded by three of the Great Lakes, Ontario, Erie and Huron
...

On this clear cloudless day in mid-November
The deciduous trees are almost bare
A few bronzed fading leaves still hang on
The rest have fallen, lay upon the ground
...

What a delay there has been today
Cold fresh blasting gusting winds have had their say
Several hours to wait as plane is late
Pushed back as inward flight held up in northern State
...

The blaze of autumn has turned to brown and winter green
Fallen leaves in heaps reduced to saddened withering compost
Gardeners brooms, rakes and leaf blowers are out in force
Sweeping the crumpling foliage into compostable sacks
...

The rain fell long and heavily last night
Its downfall creating a thunderstorm within
All through the dark hours the deluge fell until the morning light
Skies clearing, a glimpse of blue appeared, a new day begins
...

A big day out at Disney's Orlando Magic Kingdom.
The day was cool and windy, though did not deter,
enthusiasm high and with great excitement
took an easy Uber ride to transport to the Park.
...

Another New Year has slipped into our lives
Turning over more quickly as each twelve months go by
We celebrate with champagne and favorite dishes
Making resolves, but often, most hardly finishes
...
