Terence George Craddock Poems

how heavy West Coast
rain now falls?
how heavy upon
house windows?
...

a modern term for fashion power clothes
is numbered in figures cost prestige garments
the devil wears Prada is a price catch phrase
a devil owning his world buys fashion treads
...

running headlong into noise concrete walls
running bounce bang bumps on head into concrete walls
dropping bumps on head stopping writing
...

The dream of peace cannot,
must never be written out of our souls,
the freedom to learn to love to live life;
to enjoy textured multi layered diversity,
...

lone wolves
must walk wild places
where the wind whistles
...

I woke with a Dream of Peace this morning
a persistent dream kept resurfacing.
I woke with a Dream of Peace this morning
as an autumn sun tried to shine bright
...

perceive puzzle the way light
illuminates faint etched patterns
wind written on tapestry snow
...

love can cast her nets
wide catch all stray thoughts
love fleet of foot can run
with freedom within
...

hopes dreams
annihilation crushed
lifeless no disguise
...

in life in dark times adversity will come
face it stoic fear bury head in sand or run
wisdom courage effort justice lived prepares
virtue ethics patience kindness the wise wears
...
