Harlan Simantel Poems

Thanks for your fresh Spirit
You supply each day
Thanks for guidance
Along the way.
...

free us from heartache, pain
free us from selfish gain
free us from ourselves
when we are the problem
...

nice to be an animal
free from worry and care
no possessions
no clothes to wear
...

you burn crosses
don't you?

so appropriate
...

There's a world beyond,
A world we don't see.
We're not aware of it,
It's aware of me.
...

March Madness!
Basketball heaven!
65 teams!
65 dreams!
...

(in memory of my dad, a farmer and gardener)

It's where we all come from -
brown dirt.
...

bipolar swings
sometimes gives me wings
to soar and fly
...

two steps forward
one step back
a typical life
life is on track
...

Find the best teacher,
an author,
intelligent creature!
She's distilled her wisdom
...
