Doug Hollywood Davis Poems

I sent my child to school today
With his little lunch box

When he came home he said his friend
...

As I walked alone one night
Beneath the moon's soft glow
I was thinking to myself
My heart was troubled so,
...

Alas, I sit here before this pale white parchment
Staring off into space as if hypnotized by some unseen presence
Or as if watching some movie show in the back of my mind
...

The stillness of the night is broken
As a lone figure slowly maneuvers through the dark
A prepacked suitcase quietly removed from the closet with the precision of a thief,
...

Hear the ringing of the bells

What occasion do they foretell
...

I was walking through the woods
On an autumn day
The sun shone brightly through the trees
And the birds were singing away,
...
