Short Noontide Poems

Listen to poem:

Alert we wake to a morningtide

Bright-eyed inside, when it rains noontide

We downed a few

All drunk we knew

We danced to wrong homes at eveningtide...

My Shadow
By: Tom Wright
9-11-2006

Only my shadow at noontide
Replicates the man I am.
It makes no allowances
For the man of morning that I was,
Or for the man I had hoped to be.
As day wanes
My shadow grows ever longer, 
Until the time that sunset
Eats its lunch and pops the sack.

MORROW yon today cast is now
OVERCAST shadows white clouds
RAINY not project of this forecast
NEXT precept compass
INTENSE light, heats bright
NEAR rising shines
GOOD morn rises the sun


SHINES ON, shines, shines on
UNCLOUDED blue cleared path
NOONTIDE sun in all it’s heated, lighted, brightest righteousness

As petals open one by one
I think of rehabilitation
But who am I?
Wild Irish rose I used to be.

I am a part of what's in you
I am the iris of your eyes
I am a black panther prancing in warm rain
I am a brook finding river, reaching to sea
I am quiet dawn awakened by the Source
I am noontide warmth
I am rainbow glow of evenings
I am a good night sleep
I am morning inspiring you
I am the humble eye, renewed each spring.

Rain pours against the windowpane,
As all the world has gone gray,
With dark skies all the noontide,
And foul weather keeps us inside.
Like vivid autumn leaves fallen,
Once exotic dancers on the wind,
Soon dead and buried in snowdrifts,
In keeping with the rule of the
Seasons, one dance in golden sun!
Like the afternoons daily dying,
For some vivid lives are shorter.
As the rainbow lasted for a moment,
Leaving memories before it went!...
