Brendan Hardy Poem
- Truth
Remember the truth,
Question those in government…
In full glory reflected.
- Mistake
To war is error,
To offer peace is sublime…
Bombs bursting in air.
- Belief
No matter how hard,
Stand up for what you believe…
O! say can you see.
- Responsibility
I love my country,
Like baseball and apple pie…
The home of the brave.

Brendan Hardy Poem
- Breaking Habits
A journey begins,
Over the bridge from the South...
It is not to late.
- Pain
Such exquisite pain,
Wanting, there is no pity...
In the depths of hell.
- Brother in arms
Fraternal embrace,
Each one is for the other...
For the love of life.
- Lessons learned
Old remedies told,
Lubricating body and mind...
True strength from within.

Brendan Hardy Poem
- First Cup
Brew, Plunge, Percolate,
Morning ritual observed...
Elixir of life.
- Single-Shot
Caf, Half-Caf, De-Caf,
Espresso, mocha, latte...
Steamed milk, not too hot.
- Americano
Tall, Grande, Venti,
Served up with whipped cream on top...
Large drip coffee, please.
- Last Drop
Naked Baristas,
Delight drive-thru customers...
Don't forget to tip.

Brendan Hardy Poem
- Respect
Across the water,
Proud woman on the island...
Mountains to the West.
- Fading
Vitality lost,
But not forgotten by friends...
Becoming fewer.
- Yesterday
Hazy Memories,
On the beach when she was young...
Longing to return.
- Tomorrow
Burden neglected,
Always the same question...
Apple blossoms bloom.

Brendan Hardy Poem
- Awake
Living is easy,
In the dog days of summer...
The truth for some.
- Tiredness
Shrouded in fatigue,
Life is full of twists and turns...
Decisions abound.
- Sleep
Death is a release,
Mortals have the luxury...
Free will rules the day.
- Rejoice
Frustration subsides,
The ebb tide reveals new life...
Wounds begin to heal.

Brendan Hardy Poem
- Good Morning
Fresh coffee and toast,
Scraping ice from the window…
Will it start today?
- On My Way
Slowly, like a moth,
Coming out of its cocoon…
Damn! Forgot my lunch.
- Detour
Traffic slowing down,
Smoke, fire, screaming, ambulance…
Better him than me.
- Relief
Now I’m running late,
Hope I find a parking space…
Life is short, slow down.

Brendan Hardy Poem
- Underway
Batten down hatches,
Engine order telegraph...
Clangs full steam ahead.
- Crossing The Bar
Gray sky’s foreboding,
Waves crashing over the bow...
The steal womb shudders.
- Making Way
The days grow longer,
As gulls climb on the fresh breeze...
Betwixt and between.
- Arrival
Red, right, returning,
Tugs hasten our arrival...
Heaving lines are thrown.

Brendan Hardy Poem
- Question
Speech recognition,
It is normal to ask why…
Dark disposition.
- James Bond
Tic toc of the clock,
It is happy hour now…
Shaken not stirred, please.
- Pressure
To many meetings,
Claustrophobia sets in…
It’s time for a break.
- The Man
Work all day, for what?
The days are getting shorter…
Who said work is dumb?

Brendan Hardy Poem
- Birth
Non-violent protest,
Southern winds blind with hatred...
Through tears, truth is seen.
- Passion
A man dreams of peace,
Righteous in his convictions...
Empowered by speech.
- Death
Lorraine whispers death,
Purple Iris in full bloom...
The promised land calls.
- Dream
Passions ignited,
By presidential decree...
A dream remembered.

Brendan Hardy Poem
- Summer Daze
Warm sun is shining,
Salt air cleanses my senses…
Counting grains of sand.
- The Coming
Fresh breeze on my face,
Rushing waves breaking over…
Non-descript foot prints.
- Uneasy Perspective
Restless is my soul,
Birds flying to field’s inland…
Storm shutters are closed.
- Awakening
Hazy dreams surface,
Renewal of faith begins…
Take out the garbage.
