Verse Poems
Forgotten Verse
by J. P. Ehlert
There is a verse I forgot to write.
It lingers in my mind.
Like a song unsung or bell unrung it waits—
Waits for my pen to give it life.
Sunshine of Our Lives
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Ring around crimson roses
butterscotch sun comes around
lavishing mellow yellows upon
lifestyles on the ground
Saffron Spring
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Blooms bountiful on laughter lane
Purple peonies after raging rain
May melodies, sunshine songs
in emerald elms and garden green
A waking world, scents swirled
Saffron spring, scarlet ruby rose ~
Creamy clouds roam restlessly, slow.
Happy Birthday, Mom - Part VII
by Randy Johnson
The people who knew you, know that I was very fortunate to be your son.
If you hadn't passed away, today you would've become seventy-one.
Another year has passed and another birthday has come around.
Seven years ago, you were alive and well but now you're buried in the ground.
When my brother didn't buy you a birthday cake in 2012, I bought you one.
It was both a privilege and an honor to buy you a cake and to be your son.
When you died in 2013, I damn nearly fell apart.
I had to lick my wounds and nurse a broken heart.

My right there is none to dispute;
From the centre all round to the sea

O Solitude! where are the charms
That sages have seen in thy face?
Better dwell in the midst of alarms,
Than reign in this horrible place.
I am out of humanity's reach;

Summer Song
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Bloom
all day
wild
summer
caught in gold
green life
burst
of hues
scenic views
flush blooms are there

Colorfall
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
stained
beauty
the sun is
descending fast
shadows reveal a
purple martin plunging
fluttering like the wind
drifting in sunshine
petals dance too
