Faith Elizabeth Brigham Poems
a woman's face wears many masks
her precious secrets to conceal
so a man may sit and ponder
if what he sees is truly real
...
i envy the woman whose lips
your ample mouth has gently kissed
whose very look enslaves your soul
i ponder yet all i have missed
...
my heart is strongly set
to do what good i can do
and when i leave this world
i hope to have made a difference
...
i do not know my strength
nor see myself as other people do
i can not be all things
to others or please all for
...
momma, don't be angry
is it something that we did
momma, don't ignore us
as we climb on top your bed
...
they say pride comes
before the fall
who will be there for you
if there is anyone at all
...
there is something about the ocean
that brings out the earth-mother in me
it is a place i love to go to write or
to ponder life's mysteries
...
Women bleed while
men eat ice cream...
and other things
to get over someone...
...
the sun, the sun
the sun will rise
just like always
i'll wake, i'll wake
...
wanton women
with wicked ways
want what weary women
wish wouldn't wander
...
I've found a friend in nature
although nature could turn on me
if i'm out and about in a storm
and its lightning strikes me
...
each summer i go to paris to write
and each trip i make you greet me
as though you haven't seen me in ages
then you tell me i get more beautiful
...
there is evil in the powder room
there is evil lurking in the halls
there's evil everywhere you look
it even pentrates the walls
...
if God has made
everything beautiful
in its' time
then you are beautiful
...
i see things clearly
and yet i am called a dreamer
yes, i am a poet who sees things
only another poet can see
...
Faith Elizabeth Brigham Biography
I was born in Pittsburgh, PA, the third of seven girls. I'm certain I was in love with words by the time I was five years old. The first thing I ever wrote was a Christmas play for my fifth grade class in parochial school. The following year, I won first place in my sixth grade poetry class' contest. In high school, I joined the school newspaper staff and was the editor for the school literary magazine, which I entitled 'Eclat', my senior year. I became a professional writer in December,1974 when Lucerne Publishing Company bought my poem about a small town christmas parade. Since that time, my poetry has been published both on and off line. Some of my work has appeared in Poet Magazine, Wide-Open Magazine, By-Line, Cableweek, Alley Cat Magazine and other have been published by Seminole Community College, Southern Poetry Association, Catharsis and the American Poetry Association. I was also a regular writer for 'The Mission Quest' in which my articles on quality management were well received. My collection of published works is show cased on my personal poetry website 'The Poetry Of Faith Elizabeth Brigham' at http: //community-2.webtv.net/faithmairee/THEPOETRYOFFAITH I also have a writers homepage at 'Thinker Net'. I performed my first poetry reading in the early 90's at Seminole Community College in Sanford, Florida and later went on to host an open-mic poetry series at 'Lynn-Marie's Coffee House' in Cocoa, Florida during the winter of 1995. Poets I admire the most are Lawrence Ferlinghetti, e.e. cummings, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Bob Dylan and Kris Kristofferson. My favorite authors include John Irving, Evan Hunter, and Joan Didion.)
The Best Poem Of Faith Elizabeth Brigham
A Woman's Face Wears Many Masks
a woman's face wears many masks
her precious secrets to conceal
so a man may sit and ponder
if what he sees is truly real
he's a very clear-headed man
who takes his time and sets his goal
he's sure to see the masks diverge
as he taps on the door to her soul
