There Was a Young Poet From Amherst

There was a young poet from Amherst,
Who planned to marry Vince Pankwurst.
They made vows to wed,
But soon Vince was dead,
For the bell of the town hit him head first.

In A Wood Near Amherst

Bashful, but least bothered by
His cheeky peeking.
Who against this hemlock lies
Sings for; none seeking.

A green warbler's - I look through!
Girl- my Emily!
Add this wish. Off whose coned shade
Nevermore wrenched free!
Form: Rhyme

Shadows Fall Distant

Late September holds onto the summer
  like that promise you made
    —you can never forget

Late September holds onto the summer
  as shadows fall distant
    —and memory regrets

Late September

Late September holds onto the summer,
  like that promise you made,
  —you can never forget

Late September holds onto the summer,
  as shadows fall distant,
   —and memory regrets

Spring Hope For Northhampton

A birds joyous flutter of early May grand,
          bulbs pop yellow heads, from green woken land.
          Crickets and peepers work second shift chatter,
          as a voice out of Boston, announces next batter.
          It`s Springtime in Amherst, Smith girls in light sweaters.
          Where Emily penned hope, as the thing with feathers.

Whilst in Massachusetts,
Amherst to be precise,
We watched the flickering fire flies
As lighting crossed the skies
And thoughts of writings past.

DEAR EMILY

Come a lady 
     walk with me,
Come a dear 
      as poets be,
Trading words
      of rhyming things,
Thoughts of birds
       preening wings
String moments 
      as beads or pearls
In a necklace 
      from other worlds.
