Joseph T. Renaldi Poems

Hail to Autumn at its very best
Before all the trees decide to rest.
The heat and humidity of summer finally past,
The chilly and frosty days will return at last.
...

Peace, everywhere, peace today!
Peace in lands of scruffy trees and pine,
Peace in lands of olives and wine,
Peace in lands where peaks are white,
...

You can't go wrong retiring to a college town,
I did without any restrain,
Thinking of my exciting collegiate years,
My decision has not been in vain.
...

Once upon a Spring day,
The environment was such a beautiful sight
With the sky so blue and clouds puffy white,
The sun casting lustrous rays upon the lane
...

You long to see bright Autumn days,
With colorful leaves on yonder trees
In tones of yellow, orange and red
Before Nature's annual freeze.
...

The Summer season gradually fades away,
Nature's way of bidding a humble farewell to all.
A change is seen as the leaves fade in unison
As the beautiful Autumn season comes to call.
...

Once upon a gloomy day in New Orleans,
Evacuate! Evacuate! was the urgent cry,
But many residents did not heed the warning,
And merely responded with a sigh.
...

May the Spring Season fill your heart
With love and joy today
To bring you peace and comfort
In every beautiful way.
...

A day will come near the end of May,
I know won't be a lengthy school day,
For all the teachers as well as my friends,
Will depart early as the academic year ends.
...

There is something about Christmas,
In Santa Claus and twinkling trees,
In the joy and laughter of every child,
People kneeling in prayer on arthritic knees.
...
