My Poetic Shorts

A ROSE A DAY

In my heart blooms
A garden of roses,
All varieties,
All beautiful in hue,
Nurtured especially
To be given
Everyday of my life
To you.

It is my unique way
Of saying
No matter how far
We are apart,
As you scent the
Fragrance of my roses,
You will always be
As close to my heart.

PRAYER OF TRANQUILLITY

Holy Mary, Mother of God,
I come to you this day
Wanting nothing for myself,
For others I am here to pray.
On bended knees, with fervored heart
I beseech you to hear my plea:
End the pain, turmoil, suffering
Plaguing humanity.

RANDOM AFFAIR

Woman blind-dating
With romantic eyes
Can’t help but begin
Evening with a sir prize.

COUNTRY VIEW

Pastures dotted with milk-rich cows,
Born-free to roam and chew the green,
Beneath huge fleets of God’s best clouds,
Spreading shadows across the scene,
Twice scarred with streams, gently, flowing
Without concern for width or end,
Quenching thirsty fowl and woodland
As they, toward, the fields descend
Where stalks of corn, stretching taller,
Kern’ling sweetly in mass array,
Tassled neatly, like proud soldiers,
Waiting husked death with calm display,
Surrounds the worn, faded shingles
That roofs the hands which paints this ground,
With plow and sweat from Spring till Autumn,
Tranquil beauty and peace abound.
