A Short Collection of Poems

Old poems written way back when in my early grad school days...


“Leapfrog”

You wish to play leapfrog,

In order to get ahead. 

But what you fail to realize

Is that we are all stuck on

The same lily pad.

And there is always a bigger fish

Lurking in the reeds below. 


“A Grocery List” 

Bread

Cheese

Eggs (?)

Bacon

Orange juice


“So Much”

So much to say and

So little time in which to say it.

I haven’t got long, in fact

Youcouldsayiminarush

So this will only be as long as I can make it.

I miss the curl of your hair

That little gleam in your eyes

Just before you crack a smile

“Wipe that grin off your face,” you say

“Or I’ll do it for you.”

And all I can say is, 

“Actions speak louder than words.”

I’m nothing but sentimental, 

Now wouldn’t you say?


“Coasting”

We need some coasters.

These condensation rings

Won’t do, they’ll just have to 

Go now in point of fact.

Would you like some fries with that?
