Howard Osborne Poems

RESERVATION

There is, I'm told, a space for you and I
Not here, not now, but at a future time
...

VOLCANIC

A distant rumble grows louder, getting nearer
Sounds unlike anything I've ever heard before
...

BLUE VIEW

As a soft breeze blows the net curtain
Everything I see is a pale shade of blue
...

COUNTRY SCENE

The empty grey road stretches ahead
Into the distance, where I am invited
...

HOPE

Hope rises, as bubbles to the surface
Pushing through dense watery doubt
...

LIFETIMES

A lifetime of feelings that have to escape
Some so intense that they leave me agape
...

ALL HALLOWS EVE

The night of the pumpkin is nigh
Grow your own or you have to buy
...

A MIXED WELCOME

Out there, across the bay, I see it clearly now
All here must be thinking of what might come
...

SMILE

A knowing smile can have many meanings
Whether one's teeth are displayed, or not
...

DELIGHT

It's a wriggly feeling, bubbling up inside
A wide smile that could even be forever
...
