Glen Kappy Poems
I got there
just before it closed
and checked out
the book of poetry
...
from 'Dreams and Visions'
As sun gently warms and dries
drips and drops still fall from rainspout
...
Because of what you have done
every dawn can be as this one—
as fresh, as clean, as full of expectancy and color.
...
A snatch of Mariachi music
as I pass a hotel window
summons tropical colors
of plants and clothes
...
I've been praying for friends and family passed
for their warm reception to God's eternal bosom
thinking of them as shadows of what they were.
...
A Monday morning. Early spring.
No work today—nor worries.
Setting out to walk three errands
he is greeted by a house finch singing.
...
from 'Dreams and Visions'
Free of the usual—
what it requires
...
Send strong winds, O God
and sweep away
the hatreds and the hurts.
...
Don't know why
but looking at the lawn beneath the apple tree
from my seat beneath the arbor in our backyard—
the mixture of longish grasses and clover
...
Mid-morning. Monday. College campus.
Spring semester done.
Few are here
with all its trees, bushes, flowers
...
1 Cor 1: 25
When Hitler ruled Berlin
the bees went out and in.
...
from "While Passing Through"/Fall
Crisp air—caw caw caw—
riot of changing colors—
...
from 'While Passing Through'/Summer
Summer morning sky.
Behind the clouds overhead
...
Glen Kappy Biography
Dear brother in the poet-craft Daniel Brick, whose poems you can read here in PH, 'got me' and my poetry well. I quote him from his essay here: 'Reading his poems for the first time, I did not know until I was in a particular poem that it was indeed a religious poem. And I'm sure that is the way Glen wants his religious poems to be read: the religious elements of such a poem unfold gradually in the reader's mind as he or she encounters them in their human context. It is our common humanity which the poems reveal, and in some there is the plus factor of the Christian faith embedded in the whole... Persuasion is the key tone of his poems. Things happen, some big in scale, but others small or very small, and when they are narrated with sensitivity, they can all provide lessons in faith which enter our minds as facts of existence and are lodged in our hearts as examples of grace.'

The Best Poem Of Glen Kappy
The Pull Of Poetry
I got there
just before it closed
and checked out
the book of poetry
I had on hold
and took it
to my car
and opened it—
the key unturned
in my ignition—
and read… and read…
till all was in blue shadow
and the chill insistent
on my neck
and shoulders.
