Greg McVerryCelestially Sent #smallpoems #writingcommunity #poetry
A specter seeing the unseen apparition animated in angst. A poltergeist pouncing on possibilities in the revenant of revelry turns incorporeal innocence from night to day light to dark as the clock continues to click in those moments we must seek to wonder About another celestially sent Sensed in all that surrounds never abound, but bonded by love and wonder
Greg McVerryPandemic in the Canopy #smallpoems #poetry #clmooc #writingcommunity
Giants of old hang tired, towering over a history past by. Branches bend and crumble under weight of knowing no spring will come now dwellings of decay a future robbed hordes of gypsies descended a pandemic in the canopy killing so many now empty Mausoleums of mourning
Greg McVerryA Shadow's Dance #smallpoems #poetry #writingcommunity
Splintered pasts gather in concrete futures stolen glances of sun's march As two who never were come to be in glimpses of impossible destiny Interest aligned eyes locked destiny's knot unwound as feet wrestle fallen leaves Just as the dogs run determined to get nowhere at all, their paths can never cross Warmed by the pleasure of shared mystery history at th

Greg McVerryIntrospective Knots A #poetryport poem

Greg McVerryCry for my Children a #PoetryPoem of Diversity
I cry for the lack of diversity in the lives of my boys a pride in nation celebrating a single story reinforced in schools tales of Indigenous happily selling land for 53 coats then emblazing uniforms with racist caricature's of a Chief in ceremonial Head Dress.

Celebrate diversity is what we do in white schools. eating spicy foods (keep it mild don't go too wild), maybe read a book with a Black boy on the cover Diversity in schools of color is racism A reality not a goal fixed by serving taco bowls But a dance of resilience and brilliance, beautiful children who succeed in spite of not because of society

I have no confidence in the kiss of winter's bliss Hilltops amiss milky blankets never fallen missing soft touches that linger on finger and tongue No slick valleys, sleds up and down Pressure drops in lakes of thought Hiding great winds of doubt from my reality as tears fall to fill the rivers and flow to shores of my soul
Greg McVerryEnvoy of Joy a #PoetryPort Poem #smallpoems #writingcommunity

Greg McVerrySearch for Joy A #PoetryPort Poem #clmooc #writingcommunity
