Joseph Girone Poem
BREATHE DEEP
Hugging the earth
With you since birth
Though invisible
Much is possible
Fun times in party balloons
Less often in hot air balloons
Kites built and challenged to fly
Planes and blimps enjoy the sky
Games played with inflated balls
Windmills make energy, not squalls
Top-down convertibles make hair stray
Clouds and fog begin the day
Sail boats glide on the waves
Fragrances travel, then saved
Forgive a hurricane or tornado
Enjoy adventure on the go
Now show that you care
And feel the love in the air

Joseph Girone Poem
Whales and snails
Bees and fleas
Apples and eagles
All from the Big Bang
Planets shine and align
Bananas and cheetahs
Seashore and dinosaurs
All from the Big Bang
Peaches and cheeses
Asparagus and cactus
Human eye and butterflies
All from the Big Bang
Newborns and acorns
Pandas and pooches
Goose and spruce
All from the Big Bang
Really?

CRAPSHOOT
High school graduate
Roll the dice
Hope for seven
Maybe eleven
Take a risk
Time for change
Need some luck
Borrow a buck
No snake eyes
Hope for good
This is reboot
College crapshoot

Joseph Girone Poem
The student vacillates,
Succumb to study
Or go to the dance?
With a mind flip of the coin
And help from a higher power,
He is on his way.
Outside the dance
On that clear, cool Spring evening,
His glance settles on the girl,
An illuminated masterpiece of nature,
With joy, beauty, symmetry, vitality.
His excitement is of a child
on Christmas morning.
Witnessing God’s best,
creates an inner explosion,
a new awareness of life.
The moment is frozen forever.
Will she notice his presence?
In silence, there is hope.
But what if it had been raining?

Joseph Girone Poem
CERTIFICATE
Only another signature
The state says it’s needed
Something most never see
Yet it must be heeded
It’s about a child
So difficult to realize
The paper states time and date
The reason for demise
It’s only a piece of paper
A child’s life no more
Only another signature
But so hard to endure
Complete the dreaded task
Then the helpless feeling
Upset hopefully will pass
Now help the living
