Lonnie Hicks Poems

If I could take the world
into my world;
If I could be God-like
what would I do
...

Come closer;

I need to feel
your body
...

Dreamers dream
dreaming that
all their dreams are dreams;
and is reality then multiple-shaped
...

'I am the Winter Flower'
she said
'the opposite of the Summer Ones.'
...

Strewn on the ground
were the nouns;
the gerunds
and the active verbs,
...

I feel like a train sometimes
that can't get no locomotin.'

My wheels lumber
...

Where does the river flow
if not to you?

How deep its depths
...

My grandmother used to say
don't marry for money
but stay open-minded.
...

I have seen Passion Storm
and sweep away obstacles.

Did Romeo and Juliet's
...

The problem is metaphoric;
I live inside lines
which only approximate
but do not satisfy.
...
