Paul Holmes Poems

Appearances can be deceptive,
And to the superficial gaze
The outside seems dull and grey
Plain looking in many ways,
...

She opened a special Welsh Book
Given as a present from a Friend,
She daily set aside time to look
Upon those words which her heart did mend.
...

A Red Poppy basking in the radiant sun
Sees deer and rabbits hastily run;
They sense a storm in the breeze
And race for shelter under mighty Oak trees.
...

Whenever I feel sad
And life’s troubles wear me down
I just look upon her face
And no longer wear a frown.
...

A warm, clear turquoise sea
Is the stage of a beautiful scene,
A majestic stingray ballet
Paints a picture so serene.
...

For four-thousand years and more
He’s withstood the tests of time;
Extremes of heat and cold
Haven’t cut him down in his prime;
...

A tiny fist
Uncurls,
Reaching out
It grasps a finger;
...

One among billions
Unique silver crystal
Floating
In a turquoise sky
...

Carried on a soft whisper
Of a breeze
Little bubbles float aloft,
Delighting little children
...
