Debra DeVeney Poems

Hear his footsteps, for you, he comes.
Step, Step, Step, faster your heart drums.
His fingers screech along the wall,
through the front door, down the hall.
...

She's been fighting cancer
six long months
radiation and chemo treatments
shrunk one tumor
...

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

Halloween is the time of year
that is wrapped around fear.
Vampires, werewolves, monsters.
ghost, goblins and other haunters.
...

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

Sue Stillwater segregated
Seventy Settlers, squish
spreading Sepsis, swiftly.
...

Can you tell me, from a clue or two,
My monster is who?

Riddle me this and riddle me that!
...

Heartbeats
Heavenly high
Howling honeys
Honoring, happily
...

She's cried many tears in her life
Happiness to sadness
Husband's death, unbearable strife
Driven her to madness
...

There once was a girl who was thrifty,
and she went by the name of Christie.
Wasting wasn't logical,
making you prodigal.
