Gerard Woods Poems

She took my money with a smile
I said how long she said just awhile
I was shy my face was red
As she led me to her bed
...

I pulled a hair from my head,
It wasn't alive nor was it dead,
It was just one less hair upon my head.
I had that hair since I was born,
...

He awoke from his dirty muddy hole,
shivering cold, To be told,
by an officer with red tired eyes,
We attack before light,
...

In Vietnam where uncle Sam chose to fight,
And his sons wonder if its right,
That they should die,
Or return home minus leg arm or eye
...

Under a summers flowering tree
Sat her, him, you, and me.
We talked and laughed, of days gone by,
Dreamed and dreamed and wandered why.
...

The factory chimbley's
Which spout there smoke,
Brick wall some cracked
Some broke.
...

She laughed and cried,
In truth and lies.
She born the young,
Across lines nappies strung.
...

President Lincoln
Lies with a bullet
In his head,
Though still alive,
...

A clash of clouds, a flash of light,
And rain begins to spread the night.
And as it falls it dances on roofs,
Slides down drainpipes under pavement grooves.
...
