Pauline Clifford Poems

Just when you think,
That you are in control,
Life throws you a banana skin,
And chucks you in a hole,
...

Sweet object of my desire
Only you can set my heart on fire
Anything for you
Is the least that I would do
...

Across fields and gardens
Poppies spread
Blood red petals
Bow their heads
...

I have seen your waters rising from a brook to a vast lake,
I have watched your dam constructed including the mistakes.

I have mourned the several workers, who died along the way,
...

As the morning sky turns blue
My first thoughts are all of you
How I’ll love you for the rest of my days
...
