Della Perry Poems

Now, is a silence,
A splendid peacefulness,
An uncertainess that grew,
A frenzied purpose is
...

Magpies continue to chat across rooftops
Mice still hide from dug out holes
Starlings sing in noisy crowds just as they always have.
Children play and scream in excitement in the gardens
...

Baby cried
She wanted love
Baby cried
She needed care
...

A box lay on the floor
Opened only once
Now covered in dust.
Scratching came from within
...

Madness walks among the average
It dances between the people
The normal, the everyday drones.
It lingers like shadows from the daylight
...

I'm sick of being a pawn
In this chess game of life.
The one who gets sacrificed
Like I haven't got any worth.
...

An elephant came to our class
I tell you he was the top brass!
He wasn't too good at ICT
His feet were too large for the keys!
...

Never such a moving sight to behold than the honey bee upon the flower,
The stem sways in the breeze as the bee flits from flower head to another,
The cooling wind pleasing to the mind,
Respite from the heat of the glowing sun overhead.
...

Bone crushers
Tail waggers
Wet noses
Four feet
...

Camels and oxen, silhouettes
Ripples in golden sands
Whispers of abundant harvests
In a prosperous land.
...
