Raymond Farrell Poems

I was going to buy
Some jewelry made of Jade
I asked Dr. Chu's opinion
And he cautioned me not to
...

I could be
(And so could you)
What if
Nearly to death
...

Today, for no particular reason
As I sat contemplating
I straightened my elbow
And my attention was drawn
...

Today
As I sit
Under the locust tree
I think of my grandfather
...

We live
In the age
Of sound bites
Every attempt is made
...

Tonight
As I sit
Under the locust tree
I see a full moon
...

Those who sit in judgement
In robes
On polished wooden benches
Always claim
...

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

Today
As I sit
Under the locust tree
I remember
...
