Gregory Huyette Poems

There are but a few things that exist
Which merit inclusion on my bucket list.
Not included are riches or power
Nor visiting the Pyramids or Eiffel Tower.
...

Just looked at my watch and I'm running out of time.
Best to attend to pertinent issues and forget the five and dime.
I'm usually so busy with routine chores of the day
That what really counts I miss or feel it's just in my way.
...

A pair of sweet bluebirds with their gentle way
Describes our couple who married today.
...

To me you're a very special girl,
Who won't go out with just any guy.
You can afford to pick and choose
And let all but the best pass by.
...

First quarter is filled with doubts and fears.
Second quarter is infected with jabs and jeers.
...

When I was a child, you showed me a meadow of flowers.
You told me their names and we stayed there for hours.
Buttercups glistened as they drank the sun’s rays
Amongst bluebells that glowed in their majestic ways.
...

WHY DO I DO IT? WHY CAN’T I QUIT?

CONSCIENCE AND REASON DON’T SEEM TO FIT.
...

Make a difference today.
Help someone find their way.
...

Like boxers, they must compete every time they hear the bell.
Each one will take and give jabs, dancing round the ring well.
...

Glittering golds and yielding yellows
Mary together in Michangelo like pillows.
Announcing radiance with whiffs of breeze
In cadence commanding attention with ease.
...
