Just Around the Corner
I’m popping out now, for my walk
Just around the corner
Take in the sights and breathe the air
Say hello to my favourite bench
The contrast I feel upon my skin
Spring is just around the corner
The warmth is nice, but the chill still cuts
The pale cloudless sky, it holds no clues
I walk in the sun, I walk in

The Age of Man
The Age of Man
We carried on
The age of man
Till moon of tin bore
An electric sun
And all machines
Shone bright and clean
Keeping silent
But wanting more
Till the purpose mind
Did loose its time
In idle waves lament
Through prostitution of evolutions
A self induced torrent
Took his mind till eyes fell blind
Unraveled the very core
To spit it bright into the

God Around the Corner
God Around the Corner
By Mark D. Stucky
My cat’s favorite spot to sleep and surveil the house
was at the top of the hallway-to-basement stairs.
I would sometimes stealthily lie down on the floor
just around the hallway corner from her and wait.
No matter how quiet I tried to be,
she soon peeked around the corner,
her curious face mere inches

Saint Valentine's Day Is Around the Corner
We had Christmas about fifty days ago,
And then New Year's Day a week later.
Presently, it's Valentine's Day on the go;
Crazy lovers are planning to get together.
I'm sorry that numerous healthy plants will lose
Their petals, their perfumes and their flowers,
Which will be turned into bouquets. At the cruise,
Countless couples will dance until the wee hours.
Valentine's Day

Just Around the Corner
Our mind is the most amazing part of our being
Able to astound the most cynical of souls
There is so much more to learn about it's function
About why some are more intelligent than others
Genetics are certainly part of the equation
What makes a serial killer, what makes a preacher
Are our brains significantly different
Is it the environment, is

longing for romance
passion to light up my world
is it not the right time yet?

Hope Around the Corner
where is everybody
the streets are bare
so eerily apocalyptic
a post nuclear scene
winter lingers ~ in sunless crisis
a dreadful silence lurks
thick heavy clouds droop nigh
spring may not come
we may never recover
wait…
is that a crocus ‘neath that tree?

Around the Corner
As I look through still trees and snow covered fields,
I search for your smile
Even in these empty places, there is still more to see
Snow folds in banks, along the long printed path
Footprints seen from the people who

Halloween Is Around the Corner
Altering air patterns
Crispier dusk tones
Nights’ earlier onsets
Sun’s late rises
Changing leaf colors
Trees’ fiery flairs
Scattered acorns and pine needles
Halloween is around the corner
Ghosts and vampires
Goblins, ghouls and skeletons
Webs of humongous spiders
Witches and Jack-o’-lanterns
Black cats lurk
Spooky bats and owls flutter
Crescent moon’s shiny silver
Halloween is around the corner
Pumpkin shades of orange, auburn and ginger
costume displays in stores
Candy

A Poem Is Sneaking Around the Corner
A poem is sneaking around the corner
of the kitchen
peeking at me
I do not know whether to spy her,
or play coy until she
jumps into my lap
I sit here waiting quietly.

Just Around the Corner
J-ust around the corner,
E-xpected day will break;
L-et the morning bring
A-nother warmth to heartache.
I-t's just around the corner,
N-ew dawn will show up;
E-arly beacon will make the cold raindrops stop.
T-wenty-seventh of July
A-ims to make you feel better;
N-ice birth occasion is just around the corner.
