Juan Olivarez Poems

Sometimes I feel so small,
With the wonders all around.
Sometimes six foot, just isn't tall,
When you hear heavenly sounds.
...

The roar of the generators, fills the air,
Beautiful neon lights abound.
Barkers screaming everywhere,
The carnival is in town.
...

He came out of the sky,
Landed at my feet.
He'd been hurt way up high,
In the noon day heat.
...

A little rain is good,
A lot of rain is bad.
But nobody is happy,
With the rain they've had.
...

I am insatiable,
When it comes to you.
I never get enough,
I never do.
...

A moment in time,
A wink of an eye.
The answer to the rhyme,
A tear that you cry.
...

Always green and strong as can be,
He's armed to the teeth, the ebony tree.
Big and strong and sturdy and stout,
His fiercely armed branches, carry great clout.
...

I wish I had wings,
So I could fly.
Like my avian friends,
Up in the sky.
...

Life has many twists and tuns,
Just like a country road.
Everyone in good time learns,
As they travel down, with their heavy load.
...

She rocks on the front porch,
In her rocking chair.
In the morning and evening,
In foul weather or fair.
...
