JAMES T. ADAIR Poems

Bite your tongue...
You're still young!
You're only on life's middle rung
All your songs are not yet sung
...

I don't want to exercise!
Yes I do!
My body is screaming 'No! '
Better things to do; I can think of a few
...

Dancing on steel strings
Where other's have danced before
I can't help feel something
in their movement, or fingers; more
...

She warned me
That cat won't sit on your lap
She won't let you pick her up
And she won't let you sit on your lap
...

What a treasure love is
Real love
What a pleasure
Something so sweet
...

Curve softly toward me
softly curve away
satin smoothness
Milky Way
...

You said 'my sister is beautiful'
As if to say 'Far more beautiful than me'
And saying so you brushed away
The true sentiment that came from me
...
