Rich Reitz Poems

When you walk through the door
Every morning at eight
With a smile on your face,
You can make the day great.
...

Karma is a circle.
It goes round like a wheel.
A record of your actions;
What you give and what you steal.
...

Fleet Mercury, the messenger.
Traveling many times around the earth,
Giving notice that what was
Thought to be impossible
...

Why did the chicken cross the road?
She crossed because the traffic slowed.
But if she tries to cross again
She may be a very sorry hen.
...

'
'Twas pouring and the thoroughbreds
Did gallop and thunder in the rain.
All muddy were the jockeys' silks,
...

You show us scenes
From everywhere;
Lands North,
East, West, or South.
...

I ventured out of town today
Into a world of leafy green,
Walking in a woodland
So peaceful and serene.
...

Beginning
With the soft pitter pat
Of little cat feet.
Gentle.
...

How did this happen?
Only a year ago
Laughing, loving, living. Sudden
Occupation by men of evil intent.
