Terence Craddock Poems

water flowing
in mountains streams creeks rivers
water trickling
racing to fill ponds lakes oceans
...

survival animal at any cost falling from cliff top height
to break broken crushed lost was not humanities destiny
but humanity has applied this hunting technique repeatedly
...

I came looking for you
as I do several times a day
...

artist painter
are you alone
in your mind
painting pictures?
...

poetry to poets
is part soul whispers
poets haunted word images
...

with dissipating life breaths
with pale shadow breaths
until the mirror remains clear glass;
until heat breath moisture
...

poetry is an expression of the poet's soul
poetry must take on myriads of forms
in myriads of emotive themes tones
...

literature poetry
for souls who love
the beauty of words
beauty bound in words
...

our memories click emotions
re-presenting life our wick lives
demand selective screening
...

an absence of but a year and a half
all is changed among these scattered
leaf poets friends; several more gone
of my favourite leaf poets those leaves
...
