Richard Quinby Poems

I found your panties
tangled in
my sheets
and
...

Just a quiet summer afternoon
Easy comfortable conversation
Two old friends
Catching up on each others lives
...

Was my drinking,
What I fondly call
My disease,
A dam blocking
...

Looking out my back window today
I saw what this season of neglect has done to my yard
The weeds running wild, the shrubs untrimmed
And all the flowers I so lovingly planted,
...

There’s a cat
sleeping
in my
bathroom sink.
...

We can’t go on like this
Living like two prizefighters
In this ring we call love
Locked in a clinch
...

It has become a pattern;
each night I sit here at my desk
writing,
delaying going to our
...

A passing phase,
Pus draining from a few
Festering sores,
A mild case of
...

Their voices call to me
Old friends whispering
pleading and entreating
Their siren song
...

Two bodies
Trapped
In each others
Gravitational fields
...
