Poems Batch 4




Here are a few new poems and some old ones gathered from other posts.





Gazing at the child
That inhabits
Your sleeping face


~~~


Through the window, winter
A falling snowflake
Shakes the house


~~~


The Waterfall

Chaos and bedlam
No droplet misplaced
Pandemonium
Cacophony
Every splash harmony
Even the moment
Of thunderous impact
Silent water
Gives silent birth
To silent spray
The waterfall
Is the water
Is the rocks
Is the trees
The waterfall
Writes this
Reads this
Is this
Is just
A waterfall


~~~


Take heart!
Every moment
A second chance


~~~


My cowardice is in vain
There is nowhere
To hide


~~~


Paddling down the rapids
No time to reflect
On skilful strokes


~~~


In a dreamless sleep
The Rocky Mountains
Stride across the prairies


~~~


Countless cries
One voice
Can’t ignore


~~~


Who is asking this question?
What wants to know?
An ancient tree blooms


~~~


Thinking about thinking about thinking
Ripples on the pond
Where the frog jumped in


~~~


When I fell
You stopped
To help me up


~~~


Morning stretch
Reach out
And touch the moon

    to answer my letter
