sidewalk poems:

Coffee in the Driveway

The drums are beating
Some friends I'm meeting
for coffee on the
sidewalk drive
The intersection 's bustling
And deliverymen are hustling
with carts of beer
for The New Hampshire Mart
A leaf becomes my coffee coaster
Maxwell House my local roaster
when I'm drinking coffee
on the sidewalk drive


. . .

Autumn

Sublime Nature
the beauty of your leaves
the beauty of your
fallen leaves
Living is a cycle
it turns from glowing
reds and greens
transforms
to stillborn
blues and greys
The joy of life
the sorrow of death
A cycle that raises
men from dirt
and sinks our hearts
deep into the earth
Epic Nature
the beauty of you leaves
the beauty of you
always leaves
