Quinn Graw Poems

Walking down the wagon trails
sure thing you aren't reading braille.
Finding the path of the country roads
old stomping grounds have grown cold.
...

When you are riding on the pine
the train blurs the scenery outside.
Inside the car the essence of time stands still
the wheels on the track and the clock
...

The wind is cold
traffic drives by on the highway
one wanders on the trail
softly stepping on old and new grass
...

Walk down the trail
the seeder and the tractor
starting to move without fail.
Half an hour
...

The sun is shining above
on a cool, windy Saturday morning
after the Friday night rain
made the garden a muddy rut.
...

Don't give a licken
to your chicken
unless you are in the kitchen.
White or dark meat
...

I paint verse with my pen-brush
here there is no rush
to create my world of words.
But on the weathered work table
...

One it is a colour
Two it is a fruit
no rhyme is possible being
for the simple orange
...

Too little, too small stuff I can't tell God about that
but just wait it is not the devil who is in the details
it's God who is in the little details.
Quoting Psalm 4: 8
...

Looking out the kitchen window
setting my eyes upon today's winter
the unharvested stubble still peeks through the snow
drifting upon the fence posts.
...
