Sam Pete Poems

Agnes, I haven’t seen
A rose blossom
As it has just now
...

I want to be a shepherd
Raise flocks of sheep
I want to be a fisherman
Catch hauls of fish like the noble Pete
...

Just as everybody does
Every once in a while
As we make our way through
Our own queer vicissitudes of life
...

I feel a tug in somewhere deep inside
Its that cherub
With her smiling face,
Twinkling eyes
...

Why insecure, my bonny lass
Why it’s the moment of rapture true
Time of recollection -
Beauty that ne'er was
...

If in me you find the warmth you do,
And I find myself in you,
Then why be two
When one will do
...

There are forty-two
Taking my test on Shakespeare
...

He’s done it again
Seems like he’ll never stop

Didn't I tell him -
...

There’s poetry in everything
In all the earth and sea
You have to just stop and see.
...

Writer, convict, thief!
Who gave you permission
Answer me,
To steal my possession?
...
