Best Juno Poems

If you'd have lived and worked on Juno Ranch, you’d have come away better for it. It 
may not have seemed like it at the time but Pancho (Uncle Frank) would put it to you, an’ it 
was for you to decide to do it,...

An old tennis ball
near your resting head
waits patiently for a sign, biding its time.

Sunday’s sleek playground rocket
is Monday's slumbering sentry
dog-tired from yesterday’s triumphs.

Rescue dogs rummaged
Trade Center rubble undaunted by danger
Nine-Eleven just another reason to please,

and a pound's little penitent
cramped in a Salt Lake City kennelbox
waited...

Juno's part Akbash, part Caucasian shepherd.
A beast of a dog, as fierce as a leopard;
Around all the children, she's eager but sweet.

As big as a barn and as tall as a horse,

for a moment
then he...

Juno doesn’t like my wheel;
not sure I comprehend the deal.
She greets me when I walk on by,
but on the wheel I think I’d die
if only for that flimsy fence;
it really doesn’t make much sense.
The wheel invokes her sense of chase
and I would surely lose that...

Just ‘jealous’ doesn’t do her justice, since
unless you factor-in her womanhood,
no vestige of the passion in her blood
or motivation comes across: her prince
conceived real circumspection. He’d convince
alumni, friends and allies that they should
placate her: Juno wasn’t wholly good,
in Miller’s words, a phrase which wins the...

THE EVER DWINDLING FEW
				      At Juno Beach

At Juno Beach an old man stands and limps down  to the shore,
Where on this sand he crawled and  ran so many years before.
The skirl of pipes still in the air, the...
