Linda Gantt Poems

Did I ever need strength- yesterday,
when horns too sharp nicked skin soft to the touch.

I found it- with mantra and more mantra.
...

I heard it squealing pitiful-loud last night, again and again.
But a blast of thunder woke me- and from my torture saved me.

Alas, fifty years hence, my nemesis it is so real,
...

Church bells tolling- louder this Lord's day,
announcing something big and bold.

'Welcome, one and all, ' the minister greets,
...

We heard the command: 'Get out while you can.'
Should we go? Should we stay?

Almost gale-force lustful winds,
...

Prayerful focus in blue
awash on a cozy speckled pine wall.

Bonded freedom to dream, to do, to be
...

Listening to the whiskey rattle snore
of a brown-eared shih tzu pup
remembering when I needed
such indeterminate sleep and snoozing much.
...

The Best Poem Of Linda Gantt

Going Toward Strong

Did I ever need strength- yesterday,
when horns too sharp nicked skin soft to the touch.

I found it- with mantra and more mantra.

Did I ever need strength- today,
when horns prodded and almost embedded.

I found it- with mantra and more mantra.

Tomorrow? Will I need strength then too?
Always, I fear, he lures me naked and downward.

I'll find it- with mantra and more mantra.
