10/19/2021 – a haiku

On October 19, 2021 By adamcallahan117In Haikus, Short PoemsLeave a comment

Tender, stretching notes
An orchestra playing joy
Giving me sweet peace

For whom do I create?
For you, for me?
For some imagined audience
Quiet as the still night?

I think I create
For that soul
Which cannot survive without
That creation

Is that you?
Someone else?
Or some hidden part of me?

And if it is the last
How can I know him better?

Like sweetest honey

The air after a spring rain

Are your lips to me

10/15/2021 – a storm

On October 15, 2021 By adamcallahan117In Free Verse, Short PoemsLeave a comment

Bright flashes all round

A swirling chaos

Of water

Of air

Leveling all in its wake

And in its center

A quiet, for a time

So often does the wind
Change its course
And I am forced to wonder:
Do I force through?
Tack west against nature?

Or do I follow?

Waiting is a curse
On the anticipating
One hard to shake off

10/12/2021 – a world all my own

On October 12, 2021 By adamcallahan117In Free Verse, Short Poems1 Comment

So often I see the stars
And wonder at worlds above
What we could see
What we could find
If there, above it all
There is a world
For me
Then I remember
When I look in your eyes
That right before me
Is a world all my own

The pirate and the soldier

The soldier asked the pirate why
He plundered ‘long the coast
The pirate asked, “Why would you die
Defending those with most?”

The trees are yet green

The colors of earth yet light

I wish they’d redden

10/8/2021 – happy place

A quiet corner without noise

In which to nestle tight

Free from the hecticness of day

And like to solemn night
