Around The Bend Poems

Around The Bend

Around The Bend


Up the road
I see it bend
Where my feet
So surely send
A body hurled
Towards its end
Up around the bend

From death
My lips do chap
To watch the cat
So closely nap
I, the mouse
Who’s come to tap
It sure to wake
And prowl again

But however unaware
With no thought
Of misplaced care
A shadow did declare
Its faith
Below the moon

For time wore down
The wishes
Like the

around the bend

oh to sleep the night away
     without dreams of yesterday
drifting quiet through the years
     avoiding the knives and spears
cast by those in jealous rage
     lost in battles that they wage

walking into morning's light
     freed from demons of the night
turning

Just Around the Bend

Interstate routes
Endless road
Highway travel the threshold
On and off ramp
Distances being miles
Listening to music while
Once and a while rest stop
Sometimes rain could fall on car top
Highways to anywhere and any major city or town
The map is showing where you are bound
Highways everywhere
There’s always a beware
Hitchhikers all on the road
Keep driving
You don’t know who they are
They could

Around the Bend Is Winter

"around the bend is winter"

we say goodbye to autumn and all her flair
around the bend is winter with santa very near
we think of gifts to be bought
as we ponder naughty or naught
orange and gold disappear making room for white
we see reflections of crystals sparkling bright

apple pies are now gone as we gave praise
we look to

Is Around the Bend

Is Around the Bend

When I write poems hope you find a few
That are always loved and forever do
With words appropriate for anything
Happiness is there and tears may bring.

Much joy is what everyone will seek
And searched for but times are bleak
Good things in poems want to find
Leave all of the bad things behind.

Will be cheerful each

Around the Bend

The icicles have melted;
The snow drifts lost some height.
We took a walk this afternoon
To bask in late-day light.

My jacket was unbuttoned;
I left my scarf behind.
The birds were chirping gaily
For there'd soon be worms to find.

It felt not like a respite
But more like a proper end
As we bid farewell to winter
Knowing spring's around the bend.

Down Around the Bend

The long nights 
And even harder days 
Left rigid impressions 
Beside the eyes on my face 
It's a measurement of time 
Between distance of space 
For a life spent
Like I was in a race 
Not one spent wisely 
Never at an easy pace
Instead I was foolish 
And ran it with haste 
Kinda like you would

Just Around the Bend

Just Around the Bend…
                 by Odin Roark

Make-believe knows
Hand in hand
Guardian and child
Never ceases to be
As words meet words
Sentences find paragraphs
Pages turn new discovery
Begetting chapter upon chapter
And then…

Often faith’s endurance knows no end
Like a turkey too numb
To know its head

A FRIEND AROUND THE BEND

One never knows what lies beyond the bend
for instance one day you can find a new friend
you'll laugh all day and talk all night
and find that person an utter delight

days and months will go by in joyous union
and you two could be like a holy communion
you'll do for them and they'll

Around the Bend

Around the bend, up a tiny knoll
A lonely one walks, bewildered
And uncertain of their goal

Can you walk a little faster
Offer shaking of their hand?
Mitigating hardship,
Say you understand?

When parting at the next bend
They’ll feel secure and brave
Walking with firmer, lighter step
For the friendship that you gave.

They don’t have to know, you see
That you were bewildered too
And

Around the Bend

Step around the bend
Look at what’s going on there
You will see sadness
Two people engaged in harm
Of each other’s broken heart

Around the Bend My Friend

ringlets of black smoke
released from the throat of 
the Santa Fe Railroad
as she comes
around the bend
full throttled horn
there goes our

Christmas Time's Around the Bend

The time has come to string the lights and decorate the tree,
Fix-up the barn an' house a mite for all the folks to see,
Cause Christmas time's around the bend, an' Santa's underway
A-makin' toys for girls an' boys, an' gifts to fill his sleigh.

The widder Jones, from down the road, her cook-stove's bellerin' smoke,
She makes tamales
