R.Benjamin Abate Poems

When I was a
Kid
A bug flew
Into my eye
...

She had that Scottish accent
He was a Canuck

He'd say, 'I can play them bagpipes, eh? '
...

Things don't last forever
But the greatness of
Things will last forever
...

We were lying together
Drinking French Kiwi Juice
While laying on our backs
In a field playing silent
...

Have you ever watched
Lightning strike
A man-made creation
& Wondered how
...

Bon fires - guitar playing beside
smoke stained sweatshirts
'someone grab more wood'
put on the bug-spray as you lift up your
...

She was twenty-five
When she died-

Every summer
...

Running through
The rainforest with you-
Monkeys are
Chanting-
...

In High School,
We always met
Outside of her
Pottery class-
...

Diamonds & Tigers
Smoking hookah wrapped in Snakes
...
