Vicki Ellis Poems

A righteous woman is a rare thing to find,
And worth much more than gold.
She’s true to her man,
He knows in his mind
...

Said the little Boy to the little Girl
“When I grow up, I’ll be King of the world,
...

When the world's falling down around you
And you've no clue what it's all about,
...

You told me you needed him
And I knew it was true;
But what I always wondered
Was did he need you?
...

I’ve watched you grow for some time now;
I’m quite impressed by what I see.
So here’s to you, my good friend;
My compliments-and a poem, from me.
...

Gold we were:
my skin, your hair;
full of sunshine, sparkling in the air.
And oh, how blue and gold your eyes:
...

Locked safe inside your fortress walls-
The walls you’ve built your whole life long;
Your steely fears and concrete points of view
Now quite surround you,
...

It’s been three-thousand hours
And twice as many tears;
Since my man’s been gone away
Feels like a thousand years.
...

The first time I met the Outlaw,
He was wickedly clever-he said,

“We’ve been waiting to see you for years-
...

I’m the kind of woman
Finds it hard to settle down
I’ve always been that way,
Traveling round from town to town;
...
