Best Gresham Poems
A Table of Four
The convention room was filled to capacity
There were four to each table
Not one, with just three
The atmosphere was charged with smiles and delight
Opportunities to put faces with names
What a beautiful sight
Cause we were laid back, no nervousness or fright
There was laughter and cheers
From the groupers
There were no strangers here
Just us soupers
My table consisted of

No matter who he would marry, his heart belonged to Carrie
Her romance with Aiden could'nt keep them apart
Big already had her heart
It was almost like a forbidden love
The kind one tries to rid themselves of
Their love stood through the test of time
Lingering on in the backs of their minds
The love was so strong, they couldn't ignore
They came together on the penhouse floor
One more hurdle they must get over
He only wanted her, his friend, his lover
He lost his nerve at the thought of the crowd
The girls took the honeymoon, as they enjoyed it out loud
Big knew for months what he must do
get to that courthouse and say I do.

Rhyme
Terry, as I called him, was ten years old when I bought him
No power steering, that, I could handle
No air conditioning, now that was a shamble
I tried fixing his air, but he said no
He drank all of the freon and said let's go
With my head out the window, we drove along
One day the brakes went out, and when he finally stopped, I walked home
I reluctantly put him up for sale
because he was my first car, my toyota tercel

A man in the park, playing ball with his son
Unaware that he's being watched, they go on and on
In his sons' eyes there is just the two of them
In his own eyes, there is only love for him
The sun is setting now and neither wants to stop
There is only yawning now and the laughter has ceased
He holds his son close as he quietly sleeps
This is sexy to me as his love has flourished
It is evident the child is well nourished

The Love of My Dad
When I was a child, you combed my hair for school
I never played hooky, because that was your rule
You helped with my homework
Math was a trial
But you stuck with me, because I am your child
You never gave up, no matter how long it took
You taught me to clean, and also to cook
You’re my dad and I am so proud
I love you, and I say it out loud

Personification
I make haste to run to you
After twenty years, I know it's true
Love so fierce, it makes me sweat
Daydreaming of you only makes me wet
Dimples so deep, they are still alarming
One gold tooth, so bright, it' charming

When (Clive Staples) C. S. Lewis
met Joy Gresham, a Jewess,
he had questioned his faith in God.
She gently proved his doubt was flawed.
Later in his book, …Grief Observed
Lewis writes of what Joy preserved.
Changed by what he had learned of pain,
from his wife who gave him free rein.
for Dr. Ram's contest " Husbands are in
heaven whose wives scold not"
a quatrain with an air of clerihew
I recommend a study of their brief marriage -
C.S. Lewis and Joy Davidman Gresham.

There is no need to look and stare
Take a picture, if you dare
Life is what you make of it
It gives back what you put out
It’s like a boomerang
Whether it’s joy, sadness, or a big shout
Think about it before you act
Know of a surety, it’s coming back

Wow! drinking, smoking and partying all night
Mini skirts, low cut blouses and pumps too
Look at what turning twenty-one can do
Coming home later and it's my choice
Waking up early to almost no voice
Time for work now, cause I'm grown
Can't wait til it's over so I can go home...
Coming of Age

We laughed so long and so loud
Our only witnesses were the clouds
You jumped up and shouted, Yes!
That was you, at your best
We thought you had snagged a bass
It could have been a whale
That brim was so tiny
In unison, we all fell
Thinking back on that time
Finding this beautiful treasure trove
Good thing we caught four brims today
We can now fire up the stove

My First Date
Adrienne
Strong, intelligent, witty and fun
Sister of Tina and Sandy
Lover of chocolate, writing and singing
Who feels excitement, joy and prosperous
Who fears spiders, loss and heights?
Who would like to see my books published, Boston Mass and New York

Bio
Babies Need……
Babies need shoes, clothes and loving care
Combs, brushes and oil for their hair
Lotion for their skin and baby oil too
Socks, booties and to play peek-a-boo
Babies need hugs, kisses and love all around
Lots of smiles and never a frown
Mind stimulation, so read to them often
Gentle caresses and to be cuddled softly
Babies need to be held and petted too
They need to feel safe and secure even
Outside of the womb…..

Lovers
Lovers come and lovers go
One on one, some keep score
Violence does not exist
Every night ended with a kiss
Reaping the benefits of a present love
Sends thrils and chills, one never tires of

Taken aback by a moment in time
His full lips pressed against mine
Over and over, drenched in ecstacy
My way was his way
and that made it easy
Say what you will, this trip is to tease me

The word of God is my pill of life
It keeps me happy, joyful, out of strife
My strength is renewed like the eagle's
I'm free to soar, and live abundantly
My cup runneth over, so I give abundantly
My pill of life is medicine to my bones
It also reminds me, I'm never alone
My pill of Life
