Short Poems

Vol. 8

By Joseph SeveroPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

“The beam glowed - rays shone;

The way shown seemed made - owned;

Midday broke - halfway home;

Roam late - won’t refrain. Hope.”

- Old Dying Joe

“Pass principles, that’s principal;

Pull facts - visibly act civil;

Instill tact - indivisible pack;

Enlighten - people, move past dimmable.”

- Old Dying Joe

“Estimate: Eminence immanent;

Indolent? Never this;

Eloquent message:

Settlement - betterment;

Words flurry;

Pure? Surely;

Certainly sure - worthy;

Turn worldly;

Flow then run

- momentum of Mercury;

Swerve - hurry;

Serve fury;

Cure worry permanently;

Pertinent: He’s early;

Ahead of the curve currently;

Embed what I learn - circuitry dense?

Assuredly.”

- Old Dying Joe
