Jake Phillips Poems

Do you remember
When
Going to school was hard labor
Getting up to feel the cool air
...

The‌ ‌early‌ ‌morning‌ ‌fog‌ ‌ ‌
Cool, ‌ ‌breezy.‌ ‌
Settles‌ ‌down‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌bog, ‌ ‌ ‌
In‌ ‌the‌ ‌air, ‌ ‌and‌ ‌every‌ ‌city.‌ ‌
...

A poem is everything you see
What you want to be
And in your dreams
You just need to look closer
...

Gliser grass on the lawn.
Snow from the skys, all gone
Trees all green,
Flowers buzz from bumble bees
...

Egg, crack, splat
Sizzle, pop, flap
English muffin
Toaster oven
...

Siping your first cup
the worm liquid trickling
down your throat
chills, not because you're cold
...

I'm sitting in class without a sound
ten minutes have past and I have found
its dead silent, just the sound of breathing
Everyone's just thinking of reading
...

Bundled up in a sleeping sack
You hear
Pop, snap, crack
The wind through the trees.
...

Every day may not be a good one,
But the words you choose,
To sing or say,
Will change feelings, thinking's,
...

I think I have caught
a grammer sickness
DO'S not get to
close it may be contagious
...
