Tom J. Mariani Poems

He is resting
In a comfortable Library chair
With his boots and jacket on
His backpack is nearby
...

As I drove 'cross town today
To get my Holiday shopping under way
With my car radio tuned in
Classic Rock - - let the dance begin
...

Don't get your hopes up
There are hachets
Buried barely below the surface
We all know where they are
...

What pulls me to horde
Old pencils new pens
Newspaper clippings
Books magazines and my notes
...

It took only one
To restore
My faith in man
...

I know I shouldn't of
But I smiled yesterday
When one of my friends
Told me a joke

Sitting in a coffee shop
Early the other morning
Getting started for my day
I almost dropped my cup
...

She wants a poem
Read to her by candlelight
While she sits at a small table
This would be sheer delight
