Sometimes Poems

If I were in charge of the world
I'd cancel oatmeal,
Monday mornings,
Allergy shots, and also Sara Steinberg.
...

Sometimes when I'm alone
I Cry,
Cause I am on my own.
The tears I cry are bitter and warm.
...

Sometimes I can almost see, around our heads,
Like gnats around a streetlight in summer,
The children we could have,
The glimmer of them.
...

And if it snowed and snow covered the drive
he took a spade and tossed it to one side.
And always tucked his daughter up at night
And slippered her the one time that she lied.
...

From Child's Garden of Verses

I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
...

I'll tell you something: every day
people are dying. And that's just the beginning.
Every day, in funeral homes, new widows are born,
new orphans. They sit with their hands folded,
...

Here I love you.
In the dark pines the wind disentangles itself.
The moon glows like phosphorous on the vagrant waters.
Days, all one kind, go chasing each other.
...

I take my dreams and make of them a bronze vase
and a round fountain with a beautiful statue in its center.
And a song with a broken heart and I ask you:
...

And sometimes it happens that you are friends and then
You are not friends,
And friendship has passed.
And whole days are lost and among them
...

Sometimes we collide, tectonic plates merging,
continents shoving, crumpling down into the molten
veins of fire deep in the earth and raising
tons of rock into jagged crests of Sierra.
...

"Excuse me." The young boy said to the poet, "If you don't mind me asking…where do you find your words? "
The old poet smiled at the young boy…"Sometimes…" she said, "they're in the voices of the birds."

"Sometimes they're with my friends and family…sometimes on strangers in a crowd…sometimes they rise up with the morning sun…sometimes they're drifting on a cloud."
...

Sometimes pain happens
Sometimes your whole world comes crushing down

Sometimes you learn from it
...

Sometimes you'll LOSE something,
But, sometimes you'll GAIN something.

Sometimes you'll feel LONELY,
...

My Muse
I love you like Poetry; sometimes you flow easily with rhymes and sometimes you just flow like a free verse.
I love you like football; sometimes you are by my side and I never have to walk alone but sometimes, you give me the blues.
I love you like Ice cream; sometimes you soothe me and sometimes you give me a brain freeze.
...

Sometimes the words mean what they say,
and sometimes they don't

Sometimes the feelings rot and decay,
...

...sometimes there are not enough rocks


sometimes there are too many rocks
...

...sometimes there are not enough rocks


sometimes there are too many rocks
...

Someone sometimes by kindness and compassion survives
someone sometimes by hatred and jealousy thrives
someone sometimes by wonderfulness strives
someone sometimes by gracefulness jives
...

Sometimes I live inside my mind,
Sometimes I step outside,
Sometimes my thoughts are vivid and deep,
Sometimes they don't exist,
...

Sometimes start
Sometimes end
Start and end,
Sometimes in
...
