here you shall find me
must find me
we must meet
having met, we must
meet again in the shadows of
truth
beauty shines through the window and
dances with the dust in the air
the cat sits by the window
watching the birds
I sit by the window with your memory
watching for you
in the birds
in the trees
we must meet across the river
in the shade of that tree
that tree we cling to
so the raging waters of the flood
may not drown us in our own
innocence

Good Old Days Poem by Joan Pond
The Good Old Days
by Joan Pond
The good old days expired
when I sat on the bed
and he said he didn’t love me
as much as I loved him.
Irrecoverable
obsolete,
I was past perfect;
incomplete without him
Once upon a time
I’d found my prince
but he turned me into something
less.
Weighed
and found wanting
I packed beggardly boxes
and left,
not wanting to lose more
than I could
afford.

Lovers Poem
The Lovers
by Marilyn McIntyre
the lovers circle the wagons
stoke the fire
ignore all outrageous slings and arrows
their’s is a brave new frontier
the lovers swim in a pool of light
drowning in the depths of each others eyes
no need to be on guard
the lovers – spotlighted, dazed
applauding their own performance
no need for bad reviews
the lovers, their own sun
waltzing in the spring
encircled in their slow, slow, dance.
Rolly Rabbit Poem
Rolly Rabbit Poem
I’m a rabbit
said Rolly Rabbit
I’ve been a rabbit my whole life.
I eat carrots and other plants.
I do my rabbit dance
I wiggle my bunny tail
When I see you I
hop hop hop away
then I stop
and look at you.
Oh Rolly you sure are a rabbit
said Spunky Squirrel
All you do is eat and
hop hop hop,
You can’t climb a tree
like me.
You have no ears to speak of
said Rolly Rabbit
and your tail is
so long and so thin
why just look at the thing!
The dog would catch me
on the trail
if I had that tail.
