Debra DeVeney Poems

Step, Step, Step, faster your heart drums.
His fingers screech along the wall,
through the front door, down the hall.

old and gray
You moan and groan
Then cuss and pray.

Seventy Settlers, squish
spreading Sepsis, swiftly.

Autumn, season referred to as fall
Unique having to names you can call
Transition between summer and winter weathers.
Unpack those scarfs and sweaters

ghost, goblins and other haunters.

six long months
radiation and chemo treatments
shrunk one tumor

with half for me and half for you.
First as a mom then as a daughter,
bringing a yellow rose in a vase of saltwater.
...

Swinging
forward and backward
pumping feet and legs
higher and higher
...

Clouds of dreams from minds eye,

silver moonbeams arc the sky
...
