Saiom Shriver Poems

To criticize
someone in her cups
(inebriated, besotted, plastered)
is to summon her demons
...

Though he was just a mite
compared to Goliath's might
David by aim and
intelligence
...

Only can those be called
Good Shepherds who
slay no lamb,
sell no lamb,
...

Jeeps covered by N African
desert sand..
Palm trees upsurging through
tanks abandoned in the jungle..
...

In the ponds
the raindrops
faster than any
iceskater
...

October when
summer green
turns
tawny, tan and
...

Blazing October
orange conflagration
.. of earlier months
the fiery consummation
...

Destiny is
formed of desire..
the path's fuel
is wishes' fires
...

Women reject comparison
with the inconstant changeling
moon, pale and glowing with
purloined light..
...
