William Kofoed Poems

Not all flowers do look nice

Not all flowers do smell good
...

The days are growing longer, warmer
The snows are less often, lighter
Soon the storms will turn to rain
And no longer will I need to plow
...

How can I teach you to see
the blue of the sky in a hummingbird egg
born to fly as the color does show
or here's the ocean waves
...

today upon an endless trail
that seems endless going straightly on
though there are traps hidden upon
into which I stumble every one
...

Bitter night
seventeen degrees
all is covered
in frozen white
...

Auburn hair in long waves falls
bright sunlight glistens red highlights
tight ringlet of curls on forehead found
all flows lightly upon the breeze
...

I sit and think of
programs that
assign values to
words that are wrote
...

Quarter moon shines down
in dark summer night sky
the cloud slowly go by
in gentle warm breeze
...

Frigid white cloud of breath is formed
in cold black darkness at mountains feet
blows away on cool biting wind
as I wait for bright breaking Dawn
...

Hard bright stars
in frozen black sky
pin points of color
so far away
...
