Josephine Lauderdale Poems

So he didn't call back
Was he busy?

To busy to pick up?

It's like that with God sometimes
...

I have a banquet
All for me
I am going to see
...

I see two eyes in the shower
I stare at them for a long time
While they look back at me
...

The sun is not out this morning
But
I can feel it anyway
It's shining in my soul
...

In my quiet time this morning
It occurs to me
imagination and ideas are as many
As the raindrops that have been falling
...

Stealing small patches of sunlight today
in and out I go
Hoping the screen door wont loose it's hinge
In and out I go
...

Lifetime and leftovers are waiting
The sun is strong
How long will I endure?
Not nearly as long as I already have
...

Cover the nose
Get the hose
Trim the plants
Nook the ants
...

Was it a sign?
That book that called me
While I was looking for something else?
I've been asking for one
...

It's all an effort to
Stop the noise

The monks can't really do it
Nor can I
...
