Theresa Ann Moore Poems

There are occurrences that you lovingly retrieve
Lasting thoughts that bring a smile to your face
On the other hand, some forgotten memories relieve
Wiped clean as though they vanished without a trace
...

When you reason…
Are you analytical?
Does everything add up?
Or do you find yourself in a pickle…
...

Living between fanciful fantasy and reality
With whimsical thoughts of being free
From the daily stress and drudgery
Wishing so intently…longing to believe
...

Collecting thoughts and putting them in storage
Like summer clothes after balmy breezes have ceased
Like wrapping long stemmed glass in paper tissue
And placing them in seclusion after a holiday feast
...

With the passing of my children’s father
I wondered if indeed there was life after
Sad thoughts sought to find a familiar figure
Seeing only sympathy cards and a floral mixture
...

Driving behind a huge smelly diesel truck
Traffic came to a stand still…now I’m stuck
Gates at a train crossing are in lock down
Blocking my route until I decided to go around
...

Valentine’s Day is reserved for expressing loving ecstasy
Twenty-four hours for gift giving that encourages intimacy
What kind of special gift could possibly convey and relate?
Revealing feelings of love so complete… for a true soul mate
...

A box of chocolates
with a clue of shapes
identified in the lid
How nice it is to know
...

Laughter shows no disrespect
to the memories of those we've lost…
sadness is a fact that will remain
...

There is an ideal regarding beautiful creatures,
A scale from one to ten, rating perfect features.
That lovely nose, and flawless voluptuous smile…
My one and only, you are like no other crocodile.
