Albert Ahearn Poems

The worst of snow has disappeared
We had a lot of it this year.
But now that it has gone from sight
Our winter blues have taken flight.
...

Look at all the little people
Insignificant lost souls
Hurrying, scurrying below
Like some fast-forward picture show.
...

I write not for consensus sake
Why should I? People don’t partake
In my insights, designs and schemes
Nor inhabit my nightly dreams.
...

Six o'clock on a Sunday morn
I hear the call of a forlorn
Dove. Its mourning sound so sadly
pled evokes a melancholy.
...

The looming gray clouds overhead
Relieved themselves on top my head.
I saw not a soul, nothing stirring
Nor where I stood no living thing.
...

Prime Minister Netanyahu
Present Knesset, Likud Jew
Said Jews have duel capitals:
Jerusalem with armed control
...

Here we both lie in our bed
She is sleeping, dreaming
In an unconscious world
While I lay here awake
...

Off in the misty distance
I hear a hungry woodpecker
Hammering with his head.
This omnivorous, opportunist
...

A kiss can be for good or bad
It’s known to drive a person mad.
When Judas betrayed his savior
For thirty pieces of silver
...

We all are born naive at birth
Ingenuous for what it’s worth.
The cure is in the things we learn
From childhood to adult that’s earned.
...
