Jan Freundschuh Poems

If you live in the present,
You are a soul that has
Chosen the crest of the wave.
Hello, Fellow Crestor.
...

Oo-oh Freedom......Oo-oh Freedom.........

I'm all for freedom!
Freedom of the brain!
...

'When I am dead, my Dearest, sing no sad song for me.........'
No! That's not what I meant to say (that old poem from my youth) .......
I meant to say, When I am dead and on the other side.........
I hope I don't make a mistake, and
...

I have been such a follower
In my life
If shown a picture book, of birds, hidden
In a leafy tree-top,
...

Purple, as in flowers,
Has an after image of blue
Such that, spreading out from petunia,
One has to check,
...

Where do the butterflies hide in a storm?
What do the hummingbirds do in high winds?

And why do I ponder on victims?
...

I'm needing to write
In praise of the
Common squirrel.
...

My mother, whose rhythms were so regular
That she knew what day I'd be born,
Said I beat her by half an hour;
I was in such a hurry!
...

As a small child my father
Showed me the pretty lights of
The big city
As we drove home at night.
...

Eventually
Everyone has to
Design-a-world.
