Kyle Schlicher Poems

those who write poetry
do so,

even though there are
...

as i think of you
and the time
we no longer
keep
...

i watch the ants move
in single disciplined file
each with a reason
...

What was once a rainbow
is now no more.

The light
...

i paint your face
with velvet brushes
to soften the image
i try to recall
...

tree flowers blossom
early in spring, a promise
is made in april.
...

i have suffered
for my vanity.
i have
cried
...

Dripping, it falls drop
by drop, downward, slow, until
nature's tears are dried.
...

makes not a sound upon
leaves of the trees
...

before
i could breathe i was
underwater
safe
...

dove coos a love song
in the distance an answer
drifting on the wind
...

static
buzzing in my head

a humming
...

we used to sit
and listen
to the faraway
concussions
...

i watch in wonder
as the two alike snowflakes
fall to the cold ground.
...

early spring blossoms
catching the warming breeze
i sit here watching
...

Take my hand
Close your eyes and breathe easy
As we walk through the minefields
Rising all around us
...

There is a shortage of white bread in America.
Too many other choices have led to this shortage.
We have wheat,
Wholewheat,
...

i have come
to
regret
a simple
...

It only takes pictures of yesterday
Today.
...

it is dark.

very little starlight.
...

The Best Poem Of Kyle Schlicher

Those Who Write Poetry

those who write poetry
do so,

even though there are
those who wonder
why bother?

we write even though
the odds are

no one will ever
take the time
to read
what we write.

let alone understand
what we choose to write

or even
the very reason
we must write it
in the first place

regardless
of all the above.
