Sidi Mahtrow Poems

Nosie is his name
When he got his shot at Fame.
Visiting in the even’n hours
When others were in their unawares.
...

The Blacksmith's Forge

He rest his hammer alongside the wall
And ask the boy that turns the bellows to not stop at all
...

Standing tall in the afternoon sun
Woody waits for what's to be done.
...

See him approach the object of his affection
Boldly he asserts “I am Here! ”
The others move away making a path
For their master to have his way.
...

Sitting slowly sipping the latte
Notebook open, tapping keys,
No social outing is this.
Business as usual, before on her way
...

The Aztecs never conquered the keystone
Rather than the lintel
To bridge a gap to ensure that the load
Would be borne by two supporting sides.
...

Shopping's a pleasure
Says the local ad
To ensure
That in parting with your cash – you'll be glad.
...

The threat of the freeze is past
And I survey those that cast
Their lot to Grow in this Wintery Season.
Some would say lacking Rhyme or Reason.
...

Books may become a thing of the past
As technology decides what will last
But a person is more than just a flashy jacket
That entices the reader to pause a bit.
...

Oh! me, Oh! my, Oh! you!
I don't know what to do.
