Terence George Craddock Poems

in the beginning the poet writes
a scattering of raindrop words
like a sprinkling of dew on a single
dark red rose bathed in moonlight
...

all animals are aware sentient interact
with distance great immensities
within landscape territory they range
...

dark storm clouds have death gathered
over Europe again a full scale war rages
in Ukraine again western media claim
Russia thought it would conquer Ukraine
...

sometimes when a poet reads a poet war poem;
a few words phrases resonate in heart mind
spontaneous spark in wow factor wonder and thus
it was when reading the poem 'All Quiet On
...

freedom
is the time
energy ability
resources;
...

to all my poet friends
who crossed my poetic thought path
shared part of my poetic journey
past present future
...

it does not matter
if time everything
we write is not good
...

wisdom's shadows
etched into mirror images
echoed focused lens
...

the blue pearl is encircled within the web of the spider
the dragon bites its tail draco may enter but never leave
the stargate holds seed of talking serpents within sphere...
silicon gateway to computer age payment price power written in blood
...

the cliché proverb claims "time heals all wounds"
but some wounds last centuries shock waves
rolling down through descendent years as anger claims
new generations new descendents family feuds
...
