Rodney Reeves Poems

I want to sit at the kids' table again
to eat turkey and dressing,
pumpkin pie with real whipped cream,
mashed potatoes and gravy
...

I am an abandoned cup of coffee
left behind by a lover, gone on
to others, forgetting my heat
and the richness of my taste.
...

Thanksgiving came early
in the year twenty-o0one.
September 12th found me alive
as the world turned towards God.
