Gregory Huyette Poems

This way is a steep road that starts out slow.
Then picks up speed the further I go.
As I accelerate it’s harder to view
Those that are dear that precious few.
...

My mother always told me that without health, you have naught.
Now I find myself in a place I’m truly caught.
Cancer ate one of my kidneys and my bladder’s a sorry sight.
Expert doctors are working hard, but disagreeing what is right.
...

Straining through spectacles, it’s usually difficult to see
Where subordinate clauses and dangling participles might be.

Armed with contact lenses: one distance, the other for reading
...

Success, like gold, is sought by each,
But to many it’s out of reach.
With these unfortunates sets in
Grief, unrest and deep chagrin.
...

Until now two extremes have shaped the days
From opposite ends of the scale of grays.
One without hue and not really white,
Because it couldn’t reflect all incident light.
...

How many times you’ve fallen means nothing.
It’s how many times you got up that make the difference.
Your climb toward life’s summit will suffer falls if you’ve charted a high enough course.
...

Wouldn’t it be great to never be wrong;
To always be right and go along
Knowing your opinions count more
Than any others that have gone before?
...

You’ve changed my heart forever.
Never again can it sever.
Never again will I feel lonely,
Only because of you.
...

I’ve a sad story about a great oak that fell.
It now lies dead…a useless empty shell.
...

Whether you have a million shares or one share,
You share in life’s the same.
...
