Albert Ahearn Poems

Natural beauty of nature
Is like a beautiful damsel.
She needs no makeup or perfume
To enhance her physical beauty-
...

We have a great deal of sadness
Pent-up inside our fragile selves
Bordering at times on madness-
unhealthy in and of itself.

The numerous dirty-white mounds
Of snow that lined the narrow street
Stood like fortified embankments;
Each varying in height and width
...

And appreciate your situations.
We can’t lose sight what’s under our noses
If we do, we invite our frustrations.

On their way to infinity;
Sojourners drifting in the sky;
Compliantly acquiescent
...

From heavens clustered quietude;
Below, the dark, deserted night
Anticipates impending dawn.
...

A frightful face floats upon
The undulating waters edge
Like a ship-wrecked casualty.

If I’m thinking, then it’s presumed
