Pat Czyz Poems

Why must you be so serious?
Smile!
If not for yourself, then for us.
Why must you be so uptight?
...

Long ago, a wish granter was walking around.
He came across four doors and knocked.
Four different faces greeted him.
He granted them four very different wishes.
...

I often go to places,
Not near from my home,
That leave an imprinted mark.
I keep their lasting sight
...

I see two hungry robins flap their wings.
The first one thought himself a falcon
And takes off rushed like a rocket-thing.
He will soon teach us a lesson.
...

The great north land
Is sung by every band,
The coast from north to west
Has a grand quest.
...

Vast beauty stretches high and wide,
Although nearly empty, it sparks wonder:

Splendid galaxies span on every side.
...

Light leaks from a tunnel end
-The darkness is a passing trend.

After the loudest howling storm,
...

At each daily start,
When Dawn drives the peal-pressed cart
Upon the rounded remote rim of sky,
The sight creates a glint-sung hymn:
...

Winter's splinters freeze the chilled ground
As coldness slicks and crawls around
The tempest winds bearing down hence
Upon a frail residence.
...

In the days of good and old,
The murky air and cold went untold.
The animals meandered the plains-
Free and without worry.
...
