Mel Gill Poem
Snowflakes float
Whimsically on the wind
Drift
Soar
Fall
Gentle merging of
Terrestrial elements
Seeking
Cosmic order of
Patterned perfection
Children frolic with Frosty
Making snowmen and
Snow angels
Snowflakes melt
Swept aside by
Busy wipers on
Sliding cars on
Slippery roads
With dizzy drivers
Seeking stars and
Sparkling moonbeams
On lonely roads
In lonely lives
Where snowflakes fall

Mel Gill Poem
Catch the Clouds
As they drift by
The moist mist kissed
In dream blue high
Catch the clouds in
The sweet salt snare of
A woman’s womb
A cozy room
Catch the clouds
If you care
Catch the moist seed
Plant it deep
Bring the moist need
From its
Dreamy sleep

Mel Gill Poem
Eastern dam
A vast expanse of
Captive water
Long grass and reeds
Marshy acres where
Where the dike’s inadequacy
Overflowed
The hoarse call of
Mating geese
On flighty wings
Ducks plummeting
To a watery landing
A gilded Teal
A fledgling Heron
On awkward limbs
A Meadowlark
A Whippoorwill
Sweet breeze caressing
Gentle doe
Knee-deep in swamp
Gazing intently at
Shadowy rider
Perched contentedly on
Looming horse
High on a distant hill
Near Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan 1968

Mel Gill Poem
When last we spoke
An image came
This latest journey
The latest challenge
That will test
The strength of
Our RESOLVE to
Build upon the love
Begun long ago
Now re-inspired
Hesitant at first like the
Faltering steps of a foal in spring
Struggling to stand
Kicking up its heels
Now thundering hoofbeats
Racing toward an
Ever closer
finish line
Two hearts then
Pierced
By arrows from
A Cupid’s bow
Souls now merged by
Love in overflow

Mel Gill Poem
Bright flame to
Fading ember
Reservoir of
Creative joy
Now depleted
Brings the
Dim
Dismaying
Emptiness of
Effete creativity
Disheartens
Disenchants
The migrant
Soul of Striving
Artistry
