Tod Denny

A bleak and dreary atmosphere
My saddened eyes behold
The once felt warmth deep in my heart
Reflects insipid cold.
...

Neath the limb of willow tree
I ponder love through reverie.
Near bend of stream where I now stand,
From whence we held each other's hand,
...

Snow squalls howling through the night
Covering the earth in a blanket of white,
Icy raindrops that instantly freeze
And clings to limbs of the barren trees,
...

He's always asking questions
When he's at a social scene.
He idolizes Sherlock Holmes
And the famous Ellory Queen.
...

The sun bursting forth its beaming light
Across the greening lawn,
Accents the aura of spring delight
This early dew damp dawn.
...

It starts out as just a thought
That I ponder in my mind,
Then grows to words and sentences
And how they are combined.
...

The secrets we shared, the promises we kept,
The smiles we exchanged, the tears that we wept,
That special night when we pledged our true love,
The memories of you, is all I think of.
