Rebecca Lyle Poems

Rain

Pitter patter, pitter patter,
Windshield wipers slapping,
...

You're Not a Poet, Until- - -

You're not a poet until you make me cry
sometimes make me want to die.
...

Dying

I was asked
Are you afraid to die?
...

The Wind

It was always my foe
Never my friend
...

The demon within

Inside the closet of the mind
is where he resides,
...

Write or Wrong

Everyday, I heard he went to the same bar
Telling stories to his friends, stretching far
...

The Clock

Its timing is exactly precise
It is not off by even a second
...

The Breeze

You will never again gaze upon my face.
Betrayal and deceit is a bitter pill best swallowed whole,
...

The young boy wakes from hunger pains;
knowing there is nothing for him to eat.
He drinks his fill of water, feeling defeat.
His single Mom works 12 hour days
...

How Patient am I

Your wondrous soul won't let me go,
I shall follow you to the end, my perfect friend,
...
