My Brother, My Friend and a few others
Poems I have written and published in several past anthologies
I am sharing several poems that I have had published back in the late, great 80's in the American Poetry Anthology that started me thinking about a writing career before I started going to college and becoming a teacher and later a nurse.
The first one is: My Brother, My Friend (written when I was 13)
I Love my brother, no one could take him away.
Never wish for eternal life on earth, that would come true, I know.
But now I know, never wish the impossible.
But now that he is gone, finally I know I loved him.
But not as just as a brother, but as a friend.
(The next poem is entitled 'Tracks'.)
Stretching
far and wide
wonder where they go
Always wondering
taking people or freight
to different places
Living the hobo life
All day long and
All night long.
Just wondering where you
will end up following
the tracks.
Stretching
far and wide.
Forever.
