Josephine Lauderdale Poems

Go sit by the fire will you?
my lap is occupied
Don't look at me that way
...

I long to hear you
Above all else
Sensing all the time
Our presence
...

Why don't you
Write about me?
Ok I will
I love you still
...

I can hear the red buds calling
Calling to each other

Asking how they've been
...

In time it will come
Gray like in matter

Thick
...

I think I got it
You're afraid of being caught
In out and around the house
Of your imagination
...

I need you a lot today
God
I always love you
I'm always greatful for you
...

Don't stop talking to me
Don't stop listening to me
Don't stop sharing wigh me
Don't stop ignoring me
...

Let God be your pillow
Soft and gentle
But supporting on both sides
...

Keep saving...Keep saving
Or...Not
Let go and make room
For the teachers
...
