Kathleen Reguindin Poems

Scanning the horizon
I see the sun peeking out from the east
Slowly making an appearance.
In multi-coloured splendor
...

Shhh, the world’s still sleeping and outside it’s chilly
The BER months are upon us and cooler weather prevails
The season has changed, vibrant fall colours abound.

I get out of bed, a new day is ahead
...

Day in, day out
They go about their business.
The men in blue suits, looking dapper
The women all spruced up and looking fresh.
...

Around me, he plays and flutters
A week-old orange and black, against the sun he glitters
He flits and floats from flower to flower
Savoring the subtle sweetness of nectar.
...

The air that we breathe is no longer clean and pure
Contaminated by toxic fumes and chemicals that vehicles and factories spew
Oceans of the earth dumping grounds for man's waste
Slowly releasing poisons into waters where live creatures of the sea.
...

Reena, at dawn, you were born
What a great day it was that morn
Laying my eyes on you the first time
My first child, what an overwhelming feeling...
...

When my day goes in motion
When I don’t pay attention
Life’s many blessings
Will be drowned by daily stressings!
...

Standing at the mountain base
Into the heavens I gaze
Beyond is my ultimate destination
To get there I must climb this mountain.
...

Adventure
Bold, risky
Moving, exciting, animated.
Trek, travel, reality, inertia
...

Discord
Harsh, contentious
Clashing, aggravating, divided
Tension, friction, order, calm
...
