Elizabeth Fontaine Grieco Poems

A poet's thoughts may be
Fraught with complexity,

But his similarities keep him
...

Oh! How I long for your tender touch,
Your emulating sweetness, ravishing me all about,

Oh! How I long for you, my Prince,
Remember me in your sleep tonight,
...

Scars of War

You say your calling was the Marines,
But yet your life remains apart at the seams.
...

Judgement

I fear your judgement Oh Lord!
When I see what has taken place
...

Deer are grazing near a natural spring;
Drinking ground water from an unplugged
Gas well filled with methane, benezene, toluene, anti-freeze.
...

Amidst the ever changing seasons,
I look to find summer is fleeting;
The brisk autumn wind rushes past
Churning and twisting nature's greens
...

Daisies so delicate and free flowing;
Sitting in a transparent glass vase,
Like our lasting love, free flowing
And clear of any falsehoods;
...

In strength, I see my mother,
Holding strong to her convictions;
Loving truth and justice;
Loving her children to no end,
...

Hunched over a garbage pail,
A beggar chews scraps of bread.
The city the never sleeps,
Swallows souls that can't eat.
...

Friends are special to me,
For without them,
I just wouldn't be.
They bring you up,
...
