Raymond Farrell Poems

Not for beauty
or cunning
or swiftness in flight
but an everyday presence
...

When it is fall
The boughs
Of the apple trees
Dip low
...

The Chinese
Understand
America's
Professed love
...

Before thought can be
Corrupted, language itself
Must be corrupted.
...

Those who do not want
To read
Want to experience
Those who do not want
...

It was a simple obituary:

William J Arnold
Deceased age 23
...

It happens every Spring
Now, that the weather is pleasant
Not too cold
Not too hot
...

Enough hyperbole
But there can never be enough
For some people
I have quit reading
...
